I think the asymmetry is great! It makes it really easy to move my thumb off the camera stick to grab the dpad without letting go of movement or doing the claw. I like the aesthetic of a symmetrical controller, but offset sticks just works better for me.
Spent 4,000 hours on Dota 2. Finally kicked the habit and Valve goes and drops Deadlock 🙄
Getty Images has an image generator trained exclusively on licensed images. I’m not aware of any text generators that do the same.
It was actually rather successful! Some papers about this research are available here (first use of a microwave to thaw living rats) and here (comparison of some other warming methods), and there’s a good Tom Scott video on the experiment as well.
I object to its inclusion because it cashes in on the lack of good black representation in modern media while perpetuating the very stereotypes it purportedly challenges. If this list wants to platform representation, it can do way better.
Yeah, this guy is either trolling or doesn’t have the faintest clue what a good education actually comprises.
Yes, wholeheartedly. They’re not cheating the school—they’re cheating themselves. If you’re paying 200k+ for an education, for what earthly reason would you then skip the actual education?
It’s a form of malware that exponentially burns through resources. The classic example is using the Unix fork command, which spawns a new process. You then program it so each process spawns several child processes, each of which spawn children of their own, and so on until the computer runs out of compute resources and freezes up entirely.
In this case, the idea is to have the LLM query LLMs in the same recursive manner, burning query tokens almost as fast as OpenAI burns venture capital.
Professional athletes also have some of the strongest unions in the country, since they’re a small group of practically irreplaceable workers, and many of the league structures are the result of collective bargaining between players and owners.
Those are arguably the most “made for humans” languages—they’re made to make humans laugh and/or headbutt a railroad spike in frustration
In my experience, very, but it’s also not magic. Being able to package an application with its environment and ship it to any machine that can run Docker is great but it doesn’t solve the fact that modern deployment architecture can become extremely complicated, and Docker adds another component that needs configuration and debugging to an already complicated stack.
Per the article:
On Instagram White wrote: “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists. Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.) Have a great day at work today Margo Martin.’
It looks like “threatens a lawsuit” is being used here because “sues” would be inaccurate (since the suit has not been filed).
People being convinced that something is conscious is a long, long way from a compelling argument that something is conscious. People naturally anthropomorphize, and a reasonably accurate human speech predictor is a prime example of something that can be very easily anthropomorphized. It is also unsurprising that LLMs have developed such conceptual nodes; these concepts are fundamental to the human experience, thus undergird most human speech, and it is therefore not only unsurprising but expected that a system built to detect statistical patterns in human speech would identify these foundational concepts.
“So rocks are conscious” isn’t, at least in my opinion, the classic counter to panpsychism; it’s an attempt at reductio ad absurdum, but not a very good one, as the panpsychist can very easily fall back on the credible argument that consciousness comes in degrees, perhaps informed by systematic complexity, and so the consciousness of a rock is to the consciousness of a person as the mass of an atom is to the mass of a brain.
The problem with panpsychism is, and has always been, that there’s absolutely no reason to think that it’s true. It’s a pleasingly neat solution to Chalmers’ “hard problem” of neuroscience, but ultimately just as baseless as positing the existence of an all-powerful God through whose grace we are granted consciousness; that is, it rests on a premise that, while sufficiently explanatory, is neither provable nor disprovable.
We ultimately have absolutely no idea how consciousness arises from physical matter. It is possible that we cannot know, and that the mechanism is hidden in facets of reality that the human experience is not equipped to parse. It is also possible that, given sufficiently advanced neuroscience, we will be able to offer a compelling account of how human consciousness arises. Then—and only then—will we be in a position to credibly offer arguments about machine intelligence. Until then, it is simply a matter of faith. The believers will see a sufficiently advanced language model and convince themselves that there is no way such a thing is not conscious, and the disbelievers will repeat the same tired arguments resting on the notion that a lack of proof is tantamount to a disproof.
It’s not a matter of what people can use, but what people do use. Like it or not, Discord is the de facto standard, and it’s a lot easier to install workarounds that make Discord usable on Linux than it is to convince all your friends to switch platforms.
For many people, socialization is a core part of gaming, and Discord is far and away the most common platform for that socialization.
Eh, depends on the language and the context. I still use 80 for C, but I’ve found 120 to be a much more reasonable number for Java.
Where tf do you live that a banana is $10?
Right stick, generally used for camera control. Reading my comment back that’s super unclear lol
