No pun intended?

I wonder, do instance admins or community mods ever have (virtual) meetups? That might be therapeutic and could possibly expose problems before they become too big to solve.

- Comment on Staggering Finds Show Early Humans Lived Alongside the Very Apes They Evolved from 5 days ago:
Yeah, it's well understood that homo didn't just magically start existing and that caused all of its ancestors to suddenly disappear, but the headline makes it seem like that part was in doubt. (FWIW, I originally read the "staggering" part to be the find itself -- like, what are the odds that you find a cache of various ancient hominid teeth together?)
- Comment on Staggering Finds Show Early Humans Lived Alongside the Very Apes They Evolved from 5 days ago:
Yeah, agreed. I originally read the "staggering" part to be the find itself, not the confirmation of the already well-regarded theory of contemporary existence, but I definitely see what you mean here.

- Comment on Meta appoints anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist Robby Starbuck as AI bias advisor 1 week ago:
It's not cowardice, it's intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

thanks, fixed.
- Comment on World's first 'thermodynamic computing chip' reaches tape out 1 week ago:
Lol, but there are lots of applications for nondeterministic computing that are not LLMs. Some of the famous-y ones would be like Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which is used in reinforcement learning (e.g., AlphaGo) to explore game trees probabilistically, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), where you use randomness to sample from complex distributions (e.g., Bayesian inference), and zero-knowledge proofs, where you use randomness to verify information without revealing it. You could probably get an LLM to make a longer list :)

This is it literally. (granted I'm sure there are other use cases, but you know they're following those AI-dollars)

Yeah for all his shortcomings Pat Gelsinger had the right plan for Intel. But the board wanted to see the numbers go up every quarter -- long-term viability be damned -- and he couldn't do both that and push all of their advanced engineering directives, so something had to give (which in this case was Gelsinger himself).

He could try hooking up with Snoop Dogg. That would probably change my opinion somewhat (not that I’d expect Snoop to be into Nazis)
