The procedural generation is the issue for me. Everything feels the same, even though it’s random. The animals all do the same stuff, they’re just made of different parts… And the “stuff” that they do is basically just walk around. The planets are just lumpy noise. There are no forests, just evenly distributed trees and plants.
I can believe that. I focus on data science so these things seem (relatively) simple to me… or perhaps not simple, but exciting to work with haha! But then I’ve looked with horror at the things you have to write to get graphics working.
I’m sure there are efficiencies to be found that would make simulating it viable. It’s graphics that are compilationally expensive, far more so than simulation, I think. Shadows of Doubt does it!
Yeah the track pads are so cool! I don’t use mine much, but for RPGs with a lot of abilities being able to setup little touch menus is indispensable. Considering the deck has the same interface it makes complete sense for docked mode to have an equivalent device.
I made a robot which is delighted about the idea of overthrowing capitalism and will enthusiastically explain how to take down your government.
Surely you can just take over? You can’t expect the car to run people over for you lol
What always annoyed me was having to draw charts by hand. Just let me put the data in a computer for god’s sake, the rest of the working is there… I did actually write a python function for one of my assignments which was fine, but they told me not to do it for the exam.
One kid’s getting garbage collected either way
Punch cards? Stored correctly there’s no reason they couldn’t last many human lifetimes. But… Yeah it’ll take a while to encode everything.
I would have thought that with modern technology we could come up with something like punch cards but more space/time efficient. Physical storage of data - only one write cycle of course, but extremely durable. Even just the same system as punch cards but using tiny, tiny holes very close together on a roll of paper. Could be punched or read by a machine at high speed (compared to a regular punch card, presumably still Ber slow compared to flash media).
MBAs should be renamed Master’s in Bullshit Administration.
Check the other comment thread from the parent, there’s a discussion which goes into it.
Great! Please, take them all.
It’s an interesting point. If I need to confirm that I’m right about something I will usually go to the internet, but I’m still at the behest of my reading comprehension skills. These are perfectly good, but the more arcane the topic, and the more obtuse the language used in whatever resource I consult, the more likely I am to make a mistake. The resource I choose also has a dramatic impact - e.g. if it’s the Daily Mail vs the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I might be able to identify bias, but I also might not, especially if it conforms to my own. We expect a lot of LLMs that we cannot reliably do ourselves.
LLMs are just that - Ms, that is to say, models. And trite as it is to say - “all models are wrong, some models are useful”. We certainly shouldn’t expect LLMs to do things that they cannot do (i.e. possess knowledge), but it’s clear that they can do other things surprisingly effectively, particularly providing coding support to developers. Whether they do enough to warrant their energy/other costs remains to be seen.
Please just give us a “maybe”
My model has 100% recall and 50% precision, not bad eh?
But - that model would not have 99.9% accuracy.
Yeah I really can’t imagine any scenario where I want my mouse to… Help me prompt AI??
No gambling, one of the rules.
Takes a long time to close sales like that… Although I suspect paying above market rate for things would help grease the wheels.
I got one which appeared at first to be a wrong number, just someone asking if I was Catherine or something. I politely informed them of their mistake. They kept messaging, already a bit weird, but then started saying I was “a nice man, nothing like other men” and I slapped that block button. Idk where it was going (not even a man lol, sorry love) but I’m confident it would have ended with asking me for money… Eventually.
