Isn’t this basically an implementation of spaghetti sort? I’ve seriously taken the delay approach before in distributed memory situations.

2·11 days agoThank you, yes I do. And like I said in OP it seems to be crapping out pretty good at it’s current level of ability - maybe it’s not a Ponzi scheme, but it is a giant overvalued bubble.
The internet can’t hurt you, you don’t have to lie to us. And it kinda pisses me off when people do anyway, because it makes it worse for everyone.

It is. It’s one that has hidden layers, as opposed to a shallow neural net which does not. Shallow neural nets aren’t really a thing anymore, so it’s usually omitted, but historically things like the perceptron go back further, and they’re conceptually simpler to update during training. They also can’t really deal with anything nonlinear.

10·12 days agoAnd that paper’s name? Albert Einstein. I can’t find anything on Weizenbaum and Turing authoring together. Weizenbaum seems to have written mostly prose and code, even - he’s not really thought of for his mathematical innovations, although obviously math was his original field.
Back in the 50’s people thought conventional algorithms, like everybody here has worked with, were going to reach human intelligence. They could play chess, and chess is smart guy stuff, so obviously recognising a bird should be easy, right? Well, they figured out that wasn’t right, and so began the first AI winter.
The tech of deep neural nets is in fact fairly new. Like, arguably it didn’t become a thing until the Cold War was ending, although there were a lot of precursors, and it kind of arrived gradually.

10·12 days agoI mean, nitpick, but if you blamed mathematics you actually would be. The observation that AI/LLMs are highly unreliable and don’t appear to be getting any better is empirical.

Technology@beehaw.org•Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?
11·18 days agoNow that I’ve actually looked at the study, what they did is make an apparatus with continuously adjustable distance to display and try to get people to distinguish scaled, fairly similar clips until they couldn’t anymore.
Actual maximum pixel-per-visual-degree values varied quite a bit based on colours involved and the like. And like @GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org said, they framed the results the opposite way to the article - human vision can distinguish more than previously thought.

12·18 days agoA link to the study, because I don’t think I see one in this very clickbait-feeling source.

8·18 days agoIt sounds like the study actually did include display distance, and gave different requirements depending.

1·18 days agoIt helps if you start at your conclusions and work backwards a bit.

Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•Contradictions in the BibleEnglish
1·18 days agoWell, just fining relevant passages to “interpret” is about half of it. Writing a stirring interpretation is the other, and it helps if you have some kind of living authority to appeal to or are saying something convenient to the audience, since a lot of other people are interpreting the bible in their own way.

Science@beehaw.org•Brainwave study sheds light on cause of ‘hearing voices’
8·23 days agoA new study led by psychologists from UNSW Sydney has provided the strongest evidence yet that auditory verbal hallucinations – or hearing voices – in schizophrenia may stem from a disruption in the brain’s ability to recognise its own inner voice.
That’s pretty interesting. Schizophrenic voices sound like they can be pretty different from a typical internal monologue, I wonder how that comes about. (And if it’s related to how dreams end up being like dreams, I always wonder how I could be manufacturing those myself)
There’s also the noted tendency for them to be negative or bullying in the first world, while people in poorer regions have neutral or friendly voices.

1·24 days agoNo, we’re really all grug cavemen.
Edit: Maybe the programmer gets a copper spear, but we don’t get to be hyperintellegent and still write code this shit.
