Best I can do is tie your pension to it.

msage ,

Or 50€

msage ,

I may have some news for you…

She can just shut it down /s

Buy an EV ything? In this economy?

msage ,

dwm or cli

Isn’t it possible to add custom instructions and locking others from them, leading back to the current ARM situation?

msage ,

Nintendon’t!

msage ,

Yes, there is/was a setting for that, should be on by default.

msage ,

We will if he’s not around to stop us

Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI (arstechnica.com)

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be “more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence.”...

Oh they know, Azure is running on Linux

I hate league with passion but this is the dumbest reason to argue against any moba game.

msage ,

It’s because it’s a recurring theme.

Not that queer people cause homophobia, just a lot of homophobes turn out to fuck the same gender.

msage ,

It’s just a random list, but there have been a lot more.

The point is, nobody believes they are all gay, just that many of the fervent ones happen to be. Or at the very least they have dabbled in the acts.

Like catholic church - very anti-gay, get altar boys have been molested at a very high rate.

So while ‘not all homophobes’, there is certainly a trend. And I dunno, perhaps it should be investigated deeper when you push on it like that.

msage ,

People do that to Catholic church as well, does that make you feel like EVERY clergy man is a predator?

It’s just a coincidence, but frequent enough, to make that connection.

Same as here. And those same homophobes and fragile masculiners will sing praises about well-built male bodies. And keep almost exclusively male company.

There are people who oppose gay marriage because it works for them politically, but if their base shifted opinions, would support it 100%. But they keep it all on the down low.

msage ,

You choose to be a priest, exactly as you choose to be openly bigoted and build your entire platform around it.

msage ,

Do you see a string of anti-semites discovering they are jewish?

No.

Do you see stream of homophobes caught with gay porn/orgies?

Yes, you do.

It’s nothing more than that. That’s the difference, and that’s why people react this way.

People don’t think too deeply about that. You make it seem like there is a conspiracy behind it, and that only gays can be homophobic.

I would say that everyone is a little big queer, and the more people deny it, specially going overboard, that means they are scared of it.

Why would people be scared of something so innocent? Most likely toxic masculinity or religious lies.

msage ,

How is being disabled the same as being queer?

And nowhere did I say they are not bigots. They are. There are many bigots, most of which keep it to themselves.

Then there are bigoted loudmouths, who have a history of being gay.

Nothing from that even remotely suggests that queer people are the source of their own opression.

msage ,

Did you not read my post or do you like putting words in my mouth?

I explicitly said something else than what you wrote, so have a good one and enjoy yourself, I’m out.

msage ,

I use onion for crunch

msage ,

What? Don’t they just go to Walmart?

msage ,

Hey, I’ve seen this stuff before!

It was in the book Foundation by Asimov!

What did it say this means?

msage ,

This is the second time I saw this suggestion in the wild, and I from now on I will label every such comment as lubing us up before someone actually does this.

msage ,

It’s absolutely maddening that this is the current state of affairs.

We know we drove off the cliff, we know we need to do everything we can to mitigate the fall, and yet we keep acting like nothing is happening.

Stop the economy, put everything into housing and feeding people, while building renewables and research into other measures.

Instead we will cut our leg after shooting the foot. Without even thinking about slowing down. Fuck me.

msage ,

So were many other things in the past.

I hate that people keep saying this shit.

‘But the article said…’ yes, the face eating leopards said there were not going to eat your face today.

See you next week.

msage ,

They ate so many faces as of today, what are you talking about? Microsoft has a long history of doing this, I can’t believe you can in any way defend them.

msage ,

There is a bigger one, with more networking terms, but I can’t find it right now :|

msage ,

I believe it was this one link

msage ,

Which is why there is no dialogue with people arguing in bad faith.

And we as a society need to recognise that, and act accordingly.

msage ,

Also, nothing wrong with furry porn.

It’s not for me, but that is a matter of taste, not law.

Losing meth and fentanyl, now that’s something to get angry about.

msage ,

forcing me to run their stupid app

you don’t… for non-DRM games you can just launch the executable from the installation directory

Needing an internet connection even for single player local games

see above - therefore not true

You are just mad about things that aren’t real, yet scream about fanboyism. Cute.

msage ,

Don’t scare me like that

msage ,

As much as I hate to do this, it is AI, as ML is a part of Artificial Intelligence.

It isn’t AGI, some might say it may be, but they are wrong. But the model is learning.

msage ,

Just the notion of a computer having hallucinations should suggest that it’s doing more than just basic code.

It’s not ‘intelligent’, but it has ‘learned’ enough beyond standard CPU instructions.

That’s why it’s not a General AI, but it’s still an AI.

msage ,

Sigh.

There is no code for language processing, it’s just math approximating results from weights. The whole weight set-up is what’s called ‘artificial intelligence’, because nobody wrote

if prompt like ‘python’ return [‘large snake’, ‘programming language’, ‘australian car company’]

the model ‘learned’ how to mimic human speech using training, not by 1000s of software engineers adding more branches to the code.

That technique is part of ‘artificial intelligence’, when computers solve problems they were not programmed to do. The neural network learns its knowledge by the code, but the code has no idea what is going on.

msage ,

From what I’ve seen online, most people differentiate between AI and AGI, which is cool.

msage ,

I am now properly confused as to what are you arguing for.

So let me go to the basics.

Computers follow instructions to the letter. Take input, process it, produce output.

There are specific instructions that computer can carry out, we can build on top of them to make them more complex. We write code to do that.

True/false gates can become numbers, which can become text, audio, video.

But everything ‘programmed’ or ‘digitally created’ is using the same instructions and only ever does what we tell the computer to do.

Cutting video will require video input, and then user has to do specific actions to produce a specific result.

Almost everything in existence is built like that - someone wrote specific code for technology to behave.

Now, this is very primitive way of solving tasks, specifically for real-world parameters. Computers have gigabytes (10^9) of memory, but just the earth has 10^50 atoms, so we can’t put eveything into a computers (which is why we can’t 100% predict the weather), and checking for every input parameter is not only futile, but also meaningless.

Enter ‘artificial intelligence’, approximated way of solving problems. Suddenly we don’t code the tasks themselves, we only specify the neural network - weights and connections between them, and code the ‘learning’ algorhitm that adjusts the weights based on inputs during ‘training’. Training is the expensive part, where we put huge amounts of input into the network, and if the answer we get is incorrect, we adjust the weights and try again with another sample.

It’s very expensive in every way, but the code involved doesn’t care about anything other than adjusting those weights. The network can be fed images and determining whether it’s a dog or a cat. It can be fed audio samples and expect to write down the lyrics. The code doesn’t know or care, apart from distinguishing between correct and not correct answers and adjusting those weights.

After those weights are set to our satisfaction, we can release them for others to use. We expect the network to have ‘reliable’ outputs for our inputs, so we just calculate the neuron activations based on those weights for every input, nothing else is necessary.

Therefore you do have code in the machine that learns, but only during training, and you have code that actually ‘runs’ the algorhitm for calculating output. But the actual solution to the problem is not inside the code, it can’t even be coded by humans in any way. The neural network is a statistical model generated by the training set and according to our learning algo. The bigger the network, the bigger the training set, the better should those outputs be (in theory).

To take the cutting video example further, you can train network to cut trailers from movies.

Or you can let editors do that.

They both will use computers, but one is using deteministically coded software that just follows specific orders one by one, and the other just computes the neuron activations based on the inputs and produces an output based on what it had available in the training data with some probability.

So yes, machines can learn, and it’s a subset of the ‘Artificial Intelligence’ field.

msage ,

Thanks for ignoring the same argument over and over again, it makes you look very stuck-up.

Intelligence does not require perfection (you are an example). You also hallucinate random output, but you can learn to stop specific hallucinations - like reading a Wiki page.

LLM aren’t different in that regard - they were trained on inputs, and if you extend their training sets, they will be more exact in those areas.

Ability to reason is a very hard concept to specify, and we don’t have any foolproof test (that I know of) that would definitely say if LLMs can reach that stage.

I will fight you if you try to tell me that humans are smarter than any current AI - because there are some real dumb people walking this earth and mindlessly reproducing, unable to process basic concepts that they depend their lives on.

Nothing of this changes the fact that there is an intelligence - natural language is an incredibly hard thing to code deterministically - and as such deserves the ‘AI’ label without a doubt.

msage ,

we understand how this political system works well enough to know we can’t have it

I will say it:

FUCK THAT.

Can’t have healthcare.

Can’t have social security.

Can’t have minimum wage.

Can’t vote for normal people.

Can’t stop billionaires from taking everything.

Can’t make anyone responsible.

Can’t have anything, while understanding that the system is set up for you to fail, and you will defend it because otherwise the system fails.

The system is failing right now on so many levels. The fascists taking over is the normal progression of the system, and I’m sick and tired of people saying ‘we cant change it, it will hurt more people’.

Sick and vulnerable people are being held hostage to stop any meaningful change, despite them being fucked even now.

Same with the retirements being held hostage to stop reforming the stock market.

And I will say it again:

FUCK THAT.

msage ,

It was an angry comment, but how did you read anywhere about not daring to change it?

Please, for the love of the universe, change it asap.

I just don’t see any meaningful change that will actually give the help that people need.

We live in a world that solved almost every issue, yet suffer them anyway. It’s just mad.

msage ,

I’m not american, I’m not saying don’t vote Biden. If you can, make sure you do.

I’m saying I’m just tired of pretending this is going anywhere. It’s not. The climate catastrophe is upon is, billions are going to die, and those who survive will fall to fascists within two decades tops.

Just the notion that Trump, convicted felon, twice impeached (yet never removed), is a serious contender for the presidency, is absolutely fucked beyond imagination.

What in the bloody hell did we do wrong to get here? How are we going to correct it? Is there any way to solve just this one issue, out of the pile of other civilization-level threats?

I’m losing my mind just thinking about it.

Estonia | The Digital State (youtu.be)

Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...

msage ,

Crypto fellaz always forget that we actually have this solution in most databases, and it’s called write-ahead-log.

msage ,

There is - Firefox

msage ,

I know, precisely. But it is an alternative without this nonsense, kinda the only one. And the only option to actually stop the Google monopoly that led to this.

msage ,

But Sony would run afoul of these guidelines.

msage ,

Greedy company choking on itself in every possible way? Sony is known for that.

msage ,

Can I refer you to this article, that we are commenting under? For an example?

msage ,

It’s not like Trump appointed hundreds of judges… right?
