Chatgpt, make this sound intellectual: <diary vomit>

In fairness, I care less about why people [redacted] and more that people just succeed at [redacted]

AI slop

That’s not how…what???

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2

Note that radius is both squared and the dividing term. More distance = less gravity

Fuck copper there’s literally two pounds of lithium in each one

Legitimately, how does one actually hold the bottom one without scorching your fingers?

This is a hard one to debate because “a number of jobs” isn’t really a statement you can counter. Yeah it’ll probably replace somebody, the question is how significant will the impact be and will those people be able to get other jobs/will any jobs be created by it. Currently it seems to be creating far more jobs than it’s costing, mostly just building places to put servers.

What you’re probably looking for: Generative models are just an algorithm, arguably even a fairly simple one. We’re already seeing the limits of how far we can push the current paradigm of model structures so without a big change in how they work things may stagnate. The problem with the current state of the art is that the average person can, if not always specifically call out generative model output, definitely note the mediocre quality. The most promising use case is writing certain types of code because it’s repetitive and predictable in structure, but even there they reliably barf on moderately complex tasks where you can’t easily let them run forever closed loop (as in, they can’t self-test the program because it generates output that isn’t text). Most other use cases fare far worse so if we’re not seeing mass software layoffs I’m not convinced we’ll see much damage elsewhere.

The only other case where one could argue it’s truly all-powerful is scams because the scams deliberately target the bottom of the bell curve already and the models just make it easier to automate. So, does putting scammer foot soldiers out of a job count?

You guys were getting bones?

Not all MRI studies, just a large number of particularly lazy ones. Unfortunately lazy journalists pick up the lazy science and so these studies tend to be really popular in lazy clickbait journalism.

Basically there’s still good science, as well as a parallel economy of bullshit from people who have long ago stopped giving a shit.

Not a spy plane, not $270M. The replacement for this could run around a billion.

It’s an airborne radar for coordinating combat flight operations and the 270 number is the unit cost from the 90s without adjustment for inflation.

This always confuses me because if you’re being arrested and you so much as sneeze on the officer you’re gonna get charged with attempted murder of a peace officer.

This is old, the lexipol docs are out there, you can find them pretty easily. They’re not a terribly interesting read, the training manuals are obviously the kinda thing you could enter into a court case so they’re very sterile. There are some interesting bits though, namely some departments have the forms to get subscriber info from the major cellular carriers appended to the back which suggests they like to send those off a lot. Long story short though, to have to be ready to read between the lines a lot.

Is this controlled for the fact that some people react really poorly to cannabis? For me it actually makes all three WAY worse

It hurts my heart watching all this money get thrown into bullshit evtol startups as GA continues to wither. Until you see people getting their entire part 61 certs on relatively conventional electric aircraft the evtol planes aren’t going to happen in any real way. They’re far less efficient than conventional aircraft and therefore limited to flight times measured in minutes regardless of what their websites say. It’s simple battery energy density.

So it turns out you can, see my other post, I stand corrected

I assumed the Spartan 6 didn’t have enough LEs to run a microblaze with MMU, but the pictured one is a 75kLUT part so you could probably fit at least a simple dual core design!

Well, at least one is an FPGA not an SOC…

Angry leftists. I get that it’s a hard thing to untangle, we’re so used to the aesthetic being associated with right wing psychopaths but nobody makes visually district leftist gear

I’m old enough to remember the Iraq “doublya emm deez” and GW calling everything nookyalar. It was pretty insulting to everyone’s intelligence.

This is…just openly taunting us.
