Of course it’s assuming that’s how advanced propulsion tech works. But it is useful to try to detect, just in case that’s how it actually turns out to work, no?

And if we detect something interesting, like a potential warp bubble collapse, well, that also gives us a strong hint that it’s possible, helping us to direct research in the right path.

Detecting techno-signatures of aliens would be super useful for us.

Tbh, tourism should be expensive. We should prioritize the basic needs of people such as a place to live before offering cheap luxuries.

I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can’t manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn’t laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI...

It can be useful in explaining concepts you’re unsure about, in regards to the reading part, but you should always verify that information.

But it has helped me understand certain concepts in the past, where I struggled with finding good explanations using a search engine.

The “extremes” here being “social justice” and “anti-social justice”

…I’m gonna side with the social justice side here.

While I agree it’s a relatively low percentage, not being sure and having people pick effectively randomly is still an interesting result.

The alternative would be for them to never say that gpt-4 is a human, not 50% of the time.

SkyeStarfall ,

If you read into the study, they also include the pass rates for humans. It’s higher than AIs, but still less than 75%

SkyeStarfall ,

Which makes the difference between the AIs and humans lower, likely increasing the significance of the result.

SkyeStarfall ,

But wouldn’t the husband be at fault here either way by conservative standards? It’s infidelity.

HDR is actually pretty cool, at least when you got a proper HDR display such as an OLED screen

Just a bomb that is dropped from storage to fall in free-fall. Aka, a bomb with literally nothing else, the simplest possible bomb. An alternative name (which is better imo) is a “Dumb Bomb”.

Gravity bomb just sounds so much more extraordinary than it actually is.

You need to really specify what is meant by “AI” here. Chances are it’s probably some form of smart traffic lights to improve traffic flow. Which is not all that special. It has nothing to do with LLMs

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Solar panels have also been used in space mission for a very long time. The first solar powered probe was Vanguard 1 in 1958

Yeah I don’t get this, I’ve known people who have posted trans porn for years on twitter lmaoo

SkyeStarfall ,

You really need to specify what you mean by “AI”. AI has been used in tons of applications for decades. Do you mean LLMs? Because not all AI is LLMs.

SkyeStarfall ,

Because you clearly do not have any technical understanding of the field, or what machine learning even is, or how it can be useful, and the dozen of different things also called AI.

SkyeStarfall ,

Yeah, Mozilla is doing good work, and AI is here to stay. It’s all about making and using AI ethically.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

I hate the excuse of “making fun of everything”

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Humor isn’t harmless, you are affecting the quality of life of minorities if you punch down on them for no reason.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

Kind of has been, not in a scientific manner, but there’s the whole phenomenon of “feral human”.

SkyeStarfall ,

Also, humans are not machines, we need rest and relaxation. It’s debatable for why, but life would be a lot more boring if we didn’t have a need for relaxation, art, recreation, etc. Just pure work for survival.

SkyeStarfall ,

Yeah, it’s about as useful as saying that all of science is “just statistics”. Which like, in a literal way, it’s true. But science is still what forms the foundation of our entire civilization and base of knowledge.

Knowing that a blood pressure drug works is “just statistics”, but you still take it if your blood pressure is high.

Part of language (which memes are a part of) is changing it to express new ideas and new forms of humor.

SkyeStarfall ,

Nah, it’s just that corporations will obviously want to be as positive as possible! After all, happy people are more exploitable/profitable people!

This is literally how the fake happy cyberpunk dystopias happen.

Have you met the kids of those rednecks? A lot are estranged from their parents.

Especially with the internet, parents have a limited amount of control over kids, the more important part is education.

SkyeStarfall ,

Genuine question, why is AI bad/concerning?

SkyeStarfall ,

In addition, what if the person noticed the instructions and then moved them away, and then accidentally got a finger in there? That’s a realistic scenario too.

SkyeStarfall ,

Give the internet archive a donation, history should be remembered, not forgotten.

Facebook is not the government though?

And why is it always “we have to respect other people calling for the erasure of the rights of minorities”? Do you have any idea how frustrating and tiresome that is, as a minority?

After some googling, some of the heavier rock types are 3g/cm^3, which is 3000kg/m^3

If we use the person as a rough ruler of 1.6m, the rock is about 5 person wide, and 3 person high (eye measure), give or take. And if we say it’s 3 person deep, then it has a rough mass of 5331.63000 = 216 000 kg, which is in the same order of magnitude.

Close enough to check out, I’d say.

Edit: I realized since the actual ruler we use is 1.6m (assumed), it should be multiplied by 1.6 three times (one for each dimension/length), not just once. If we do that, we end up with 921 600 kg instead, putting 500 000 kg well within the range of possibilities from a quick calculation.

Edit 2: as pointed out below, the actual correct estimation would be 553 tons

SkyeStarfall ,

5331.6 is not the same as (51.6)(31.6)(31.6), however

The reason we multiply with 1.6 on every dimension is because the ruler we use is 1.6m long. We effectively create a new unit, and have to convert. If a length is 5 person wide, then in reality it’s 5*1.6 = 8 meters long, where 1.6 is the conversion ratio from the unit of ‘person’ to the unit of ‘meter’. And this applies for every individual measurement.

Also, 5331.6 is not the same as (51.6)+(31.6)+(31.6) in the first place

SkyeStarfall ,

Oh, whoops, I did make a mistake! Thanks for the correction

Don’t want to be the cause of a CVE now, do we?

God I fucking hated them with all of my guts as a child, caused me so much anxiety and fear. And then as an adult I’ve had the pleasure of people on the internet (mainly reddit) telling me they were just innocent pranks that nobody actually harbored any hate for or faced any negative consequences from.

SkyeStarfall ,

Buddy, I’m the one in need of help

SkyeStarfall ,

Should we stop using a word because it describes reality too well? I see it everywhere these days, and it’s an accurate descriptor.

SkyeStarfall ,

Except you feel this even if you’re in your 20s. It’s not exactly an old thing lol

Hell, even over the last 3 years it’s super obvious

SkyeStarfall ,

I’ve had more windows updates breaking stuff than I had arch updates breaking stuff, that’s for sure. I think it’s frankly laughable that a paid OS has problems such as that.

Any success behind him has just purely been because he’s a walking money bag, otherwise he just seems like a hindrance.

GameStop is a dying company. All I’ve seen in my life are more and more GameStop shops closing down around me.

The whole point is that the market’s irrational, why would I buy shorts and basically gamble away my money? The literal point of this thread chain is that the stock value is disconnected from real-world practicality.
