Does anyone know why you can’t wash them in direct sunlight?? Lmao wtf

Stealing from an individual is deplorable. I can understand why someone might want to respond aggressively (although to be clear I still don’t think it’s justified) if someone steals medication from an old lady… But from a shop?

This kind of thing is where ML/AI can really shine. Data which is consistent, regular, where there are deep, hidden patterns that are not easy for humans to recognise. It’s very interesting that this came from an LLM, there are so many interesting and surprising applications of them that go beyond asking ChatGPT to write python for you.

I saw a talk at a conference about a ML model designed to write chemical synthesis instructions. We have tons of systems able to predict synthetic pathways and the like, but not necessarily to predict the best solvents, extraction techniques, etc… and an LLM might provide a way to get there, which I think is amazing.

I’d go both knees… I wouldn’t do it but centre of forehead would be tempting.

Understandable, although I prefer to dip mine in something to make them more palatable and save the waste.

I don’t think there’s any shortage of Japanese samurai protagonists in games. From a representation standpoint I don’t think there’s any issue… And Yasuke is an interesting character that’s worth exploring. There’s enough mystery to his story that he fits perfectly into an Assassin’s Creed game imo.

Good thoughts, I agree wholeheartedly in most cases. There is a point to be made about the energy consumption of AI, too. Right now I doubt that we’re actually getting as much out of it in really value as we are pumping in, just in sheer electricity.

No one who has even a vague understanding of present day ML models should not even entertain the idea that they are sentient, or thinking, or anything like it.

No way is a computer controlled locking system cheaper to manufacture than a mechanical one… Is it??

Whyyyyy do car manufacturers feel it is necessary to drive the car locking mechanism with software? What benefit does this give anyone?

Oh yeah celery and raisins in fact. Which are sort of grapes!

My partner smears it on slices of apple, not so far removed in taste.

Overwatch is a particularly successful Team-Fortress-like

There’s not so much to mess up on, say, Mars. I mean the terrain is interesting in its way but it’s not like we’d be annihilating complex ecosystems like we are here on earth. We would have to establish significant ecosystems anywhere we settled, in fact.

Are these people being serious? I can’t tell if the dad is genuinely affronted or just fucking with the kid lol

Ah, that makes more sense!

That’s a great resource, but good god I can’t imagine a worse environment for me to work in than one where I’m constantly being questioned by children.

This falls into a common trap. Because we cannot succinctly define a salad in one sentence we decide that it cannot be defined at all. This argument effectively reducto ad absurdums itself by coming to the conclusion that all foods are salad.

If we start from a position where we discount nothing from being a salad, and we have only salads (and soup, seemingly) to base our analysis on, how can we ever identify the boundaries of salad? The whole argument is based on the flawed premise that anything could be a salad.

I realise that I am thinking too hard about this.

I don’t need just a bit of free time one time. I need more free time always! The individual blocks of free time one tends to get end up being useless because you’re busy recovering from the rest of the time.

Wait, it’s all regex?
