  Because storms want to be circles but any given gas giants atmosphere is basically a series of nothing but storms and when you tile circles you get a hexagonal grid due to the spaces in between them?

  Idk I’m certain I’m at least smarter than the half of reddit users that are LLMs and thus cannot count the number of Rs in any given fruit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I really find I can’t cheat on an ongoing save even when I think most people would consider it completely justified, an example being when the medusa enemy was first added to terraria it was pretty buggy and could turn you to stone from off screen and through walls (despite explicit patch notes saying it should not do this) so I ended up losing all my gear to an objective bug. Tried save editing it back in but it still ruined the feeling of the save to me.

  The only time I can cheat and not ruin my own fun is for testing purposes in games without any kind of creative mode, particularly 4X games which tend to be pretty long and I don’t want to play a several hour game just to test a random theory about how 2 mechanics might interact in a lategame build.

  To be fair there’s zero evidence for anything outside our own subjective experience of it, we’re just kind of running with the assumption that our subjective experience is an accurate representation of reality.

  The UK already had its own epstein island moment with a child sex traficking scandal involving british parliment, it vanished inside a week.

  Even a genuinely perfect model would immediately skew to bias; the moment some statistical fluke gets incorporated into the training data that becomes self re-enforcing and it’ll create and then re-enforce that bias in a feedback loop.

  How about faces the same punishment someone that isn’t an incredibly rich corporation would face? If that’s insurance then sure, if thats jail time then yes someoen should be punished just like anyone else would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It outright says:
  “13% of non-winners switch to favour the right-wing. By contrast, nearly 18% of the winners who get more than 500 pounds switch to the right-wing party”
  That is a description of induviduals, 18% of people become more right wing, not 100% of people become 18% more right wing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So I read the study, first of all the paper aknowledges that there’s a several point swing in voting preference between non winners and people who won less than £500 which strongly implies people who play the lottery are more likely to vote right wing to begin with. Secondly even for large wins the swing was only around 18%. At worst money does not make everyone a bad person, more like 1/5 people.

  I think you mean episode 2 expansion 1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or those were previously just assholes without money? Nice people who win the lottery likely don’t stay rich for long because they use that money to help people they know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does money reduce empathy or is lack of empathy just a serious advantage in acumulating money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  modern sociological research or… basic common senses? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that if you start with 10x as much money as everyone else in a game of monopoly you’re almost certainly going to win that game.

  Their main issue is being antisocial jerks, they don’t co-operate so they can’t share knowledge and the females die careing for the eggs (which again they might not if they worked together) so they can’t pass anything onto their young either. The jerk part is they also eat eachother sometimes.

  But batteries consistently improve year on year, we just keep increasing the demand of our devices in lockstep because 10% more powerful! markets much better than 10% more battery life.

  That’s the point though, you wouldn’t need it advertised to you 24/7 because your family and friends would already be all over it.

  Oh I mean with setup, like I can download ollama and a basic model fine enough and get a generic chat bot. But if I want something that can scan through PDFs with direct citation (like the Nvidia LLM) or play a character then suddenly its all git repositiories and cringey youtube tutorials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been looking into local models lately, mostly out of vague paranoia that I should get one up and running before it becomes defacto illegal for normal people to own due to some kind of regulatory capture. Seems fairly doable at the momeny though not particularly user friendly.

  But is he actually particularly stand out at that or is he just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so? In another universe a lot of these people are deadend used car salesman types that no one takes seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of us are the bottom row to the billionaire's pyramid scheme.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my worry for how the world ends, eventually the rich people automate everything and fictionalize the entire economy to the same extent as the stock market, no one can buy anything but line must go up so production numbers must increase and we just end up with piles of random products all over the place (guarded by drones of course, can’t have the poors actually using them) like a corporate driven version of the paperclip maximizer only even more bleak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suppose similar in the sense that the housing bubble involved a bunch of rich idiots speculating on bad debt that had been vaguely washed to make it look good and now we have a bunch of rich idiots speculating on AI based on vague promises that it’ll be good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think part of the issue is that people on the left also tend to see nuances, which means more things to disagree over. Left falls out, right falls in line and all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing unfortunately. No honor in a real fight.

  Clover is honestly fine, its short so even if it spreads into your flowerbeds its not going to do any damage, in fact since its a nitrogen fixer it might even help, and insects like clover a lot more than grass

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cartoonist's review of AI art, by Matthew Inman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a passable quality 3D artist who does it for a living I’ve found AI art (which can do 3D now to some degree) has kind of narrowed the scope for me. If you want generic Unreal style pseudo-realism or disney toon then AI can do that for you* I’ve had to focus much more on creating a unique style and also optimizing my work in ways that AI just doesn’t have the ability to do because they require longer chains of actual reasoning.

  For AI in general I think this pattern holds, it can quickly create something generic and increasingly do it without extranious fingers but no matter how much you tweak a prompt its damn near impossible to get a specific idea into image form. Its like a hero shooter with skins VS actually creating your own character.

  *Right now AI models use more tris to re-create the default blender cube than my entire lifetime portfolio but I’m assuming that can be resolved since we already have partially automated re-topology tools.
