• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alan Turing if he existed today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, but if Alan Turing were alive today, he would be fascinated with the mathematics of the transformer architecture that modern LLMs use. Societal implications aside, the way machine learning has evolved is fascinating. I’d bet even something "intro to machine learning"y like a small, deep neural network (DNN) with backpropagation would be incredible to him. The Turing test sees a lot of emphasis among people who don’t know much about how machine learning actually works (or the rare philosopher who does), but Turing was a mathematician who would’ve loved to see how statistical processes govern modern machine learning instead of a preprogrammed decision tree. (Also, you’d have to be smoking crack and know zero about the field of AI or its history if you think Turing wouldn’t consider something like ChatGPT “AI”.)

  I’ll bet the babies who eat around the box are the same ones who’d throw a fit if their parents didn’t cut the crust off their sandwiches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The reason I think this is important is because we keep throwing money at bigger and bigger dark matter detection chambers, and we keep operating on the possibly incorrect assumption of dark matter while we create new theories.

  Okay, Sabine, whatever you say.

  If you use DuckDuckGo, just type !wt wordyouwant. This takes you to the English Wiktionary entry, where Wiktionary is a (really rich and underappreciated) sister project to Wikipedia that acts as an every-language-to-English dictionary (or e.g. an every-language-to-French dictionary in the case of fr.wiktionary.org, etc.)

  To elaborate on what’s already common knowledge, feeding bread to birds is a fucking terrible idea in every way. Nobody wins except potentially some algae that gets some new kids, a mold that gets a lovely new home in a respiratory tract, or a fox that gets easy prey unable to fly.

  Hi, Majora’s Mask.

  No, no, you can clearly see “PETA” inscribed on his pants, and he’s here to tell Elmo about the animal abuse in glass and his bread.

  I did actually know that one! Illinois EnergyProf on YouTube recently made what I think is a really good introduction to the topic. I just liked the surrealist image of a human body separating out U-235 from radiation-poisoned flesh.

  Some do, some don’t. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements “RCheevos” (in large part, admittedly, because “RA” could be confused for “RetroArch”). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say “achivement”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI slop version is kind of cursed given the first of a shrimp’s five pairs of legs is a set of chelipeds – namely legs bearing (smol) claws like in crabs, lobsters, etc.

  TL;DR it’s wearing jeans over its arms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only three pairs of pants

  Someone is not a real shrimp fan. Should be four. (Chelipeds obviously aren’t covered.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm there!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh hell yeah. I don’t do too much research into shrimps, but if you ever fall way too far down that rabbit hole, the guy to go to is Sammy De Grave at the University of Oxford. He works on WoRMS (the World Register of Marine Species) and absolutely loves them. Really nice guy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm there!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Congratulations on iNaturalist! We use images from iNaturalist on Wikipedia all the time, so we’re intensely grateful for the work y’all do. Did you see any crabs by any chance?

  You don’t have to pay more than the 45 € beginner pack

  That’s an absolutely obscene ask for a game that has no prospects of being finished in the foreseeable future – let alone that it intentionally puts you at a disadvantage to players who paid hundreds of euros for this stupid piece of shit grift.
