As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.
@RossGayler@cogsci thats very interesting. I guess people historically dismissed this for two reasons, 1) assume we have a limited storage capacity so aren't good at raw memorisation; 2) even after learning something, we tend to forget details over time. Neither of these really apply to ANNs? (I think)
@cian@cogsci
Just off the top of my head (speculation alert)
"1) assume we have a limited storage capacity so aren't good at raw memorisation"
Maybe everything gets encoded and stored, but we aren't so good at retrieval/recall of specific episodes.
Maybe that poor exact episodic retrieval is a consequence of generalisation at retrieval.
"2) even after learning something, we tend to forget details over time."
Assuming we store new episodic memories over time, the accumulation of new memories might make it harder to retrieve specific old episodes through a generalisation at retrieval mechanism. (Also, even if parts of old episodes were to randomly disappear over time, that wouldn't necessarily stop a generalisation at retrieval mechanism. A good generalisation mechanism should be able to cope with partial records of episodes.)
"Neither of these really apply to ANNs?"
Well, you could include weight decay in an ANN and there is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. However, I take the relevance of most current ANNs (feedforward, weight optimising networks) to cognitive concerns with a fairly large pinch of salt.
IMO the theoretical conceptual framework of most current ANNs doesn't make contact with cognitive concerns so you can't really ask these questions of them.
Even if Trump loses in November, even if he dies in prison, today's #SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity is a set-piece for absolute tyranny.
As soon as the GOP returns to power, America will devolve into a pure fascist state. They've laid that out, and now their court has granted them that power.
Far-right extremists broke the highest court in the land -- a fascist's hand-picked judges keep ruling in his favor. They don't care about #trump
This graphic was part of a Facebook post I found helpful (see link). I saved it to remind myself that I'm not wrong or a terrible person just because I'm anxious; there probably are reasons (often the ones described here). I'm hoping that identifying them and working on accommodations might help more than my previous approaches (since those were "hide all your feelings and push through" or "tell yourself this doesn't matter" there's plenty of room for improvement!)
This reminded me of this quote. And I relate.
Learning how to regulate and embody one sensitivity is an ongoing practice but definitely worth the effort. ✨️🫶🏻🧘♀️✨️
@Ilovechai@Autisticaurochs@actuallyautistic@autisticadvocacy@actuallyaudhd@neurodiversity Great, I'm the James Webb Telescope, but never had a team of NASA engineers before I was put into orbit. Now I'm stuck up here with no way down except burning up in the atmosphere and it's cold and scary and there's too many other things in orbit wizzing by me.
Or maybe I just take analogies too far sometimes. 😝
My Pride Street paranormal cozies are the queerest of them all, plus… corgi sleuths! They aren’t for sale on my site yet, but like all my books, are on all retailers. You can also request from your library.
@thorncoyle@lgbtqbooks@bookstodon These were lots of fun. Love Marsha P. Johnson, corgi detective. The whole gang in that Portland Gayborhood sounds like a fun place to live.
So after being in Mastodon land for two weeks, now, I'm still learning how things work and all, but generally, people just seem to be a little more willing to be friendly out here than ever on twitter or, now known as "it" in my circle. If you know braille you'll get the joke lol. People just seem cooller with each other, which is a far cry from all the twitter BS, keep up the good work around here
@luis@startrek2024 The Star Trek community here is fantastic. Mostly positive discussions about every episode, memes, #HangTrek, #AllStarTrek (everyone watches the same episode at the same time)
