… I don’t get this comic. Is it satirical, or is it just not saying anything?
- Comment on It's a mess in here 2 days ago:
On the one hand, that’s a cool insight and I can get behind it. It’s kind of similar to deaf people talking “weird”. On the other hand, I don’t think it has anything to do with LLMs. There, hallucination is just a cool word for “it’s trained to say things that sound like they fit the context, not to be correct”

Why did they make all the guys fat, lol
- Comment on Schrodinger 4 days ago:
Shockingly, there are in fact scientists that do great things that aren’t terrible on the side like Schrödinger or Feynman. If people properly called them out, maybe we’d have more.

Wild that you’re getting downvoted, I didn’t know people actually like Dawkins. Here’s The Guardian’s article

AI is a common topic on !techtakes@awful.systems (the same instance has !buttcoin@awful.systems)
- Comment on Zero to hero 1 week ago:
I think whole numbers don’t really exist outside of US high schools. Never learnt about them or seen them in a book/paper at least.
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
BTW the ratio of circumstance to radius for a circle which is also an equator of the space is ¼ not 1 (r=½π₀ , C=2π₀) .
I think you mean 4, which makes the ratio of circumference to diameter 2 (either way, no idea how I messed up that one).
- Comment on Let π = 5 3 weeks ago:
Kind of curious how you got that value. I think the ratio of circumference to diameter (“pi”) is actually smaller in spherical geometry, in the most extreme case (the equator) it’s just 1. You could say “pi = 5” for circles of a specific radius in hyperbolic geometry, I guess.
- Comment on doggos 3 weeks ago:
Does she spin clockwise or counterclockwise, and does it change when you cross the equator? Important questions
- Comment on teachings 4 weeks ago:
I thought this would be related to quaternions, octonions etc. but no, it’s multivectors and wedge products. Very neat, I didn’t know you could use them like that.
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 4 weeks ago:
Yeah sadly the rotations of Earth around its axis, the moon around Earth, and Earth around the sun don’t divide each other nicely
- Comment on Or we could do metric time 4 weeks ago:
We should “just” switch to base-6 (or maybe 12) first
- Comment on Someone got Gab's AI chatbot to show its instructions 4 weeks ago:
8 values has 4 different axes, instead of left/right
- Comment on space 4 weeks ago:
My view has always been that space is “round”, that there is no end of the universe because it just loops back around. Apparently this is all still unknown.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 5 weeks ago:
Infinite by definition cannot be “low-balling”.
I was being cheeky! It could’ve been that the set of non-Turing-computible problems had measure zero but still infinite cardinality. However there’s the much stronger result that the set of Turing-computible problems actually has measure zero (for which I used 0% and the integer:reals thing as shorthands because I didn’t want to talk measure theory on Lemmy). This is so weird, I never got downvoted for this stuff on Reddit.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 5 weeks ago:
The cardinality is obviously non-zero but it has measure zero. Probability is about measures.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 5 weeks ago:
Infinite seems like it’s low-balling it, then. 0% of problems can be solved by Turing machines (same way 0% of real numbers are integers)

The trick is that there are companies/people that would commission an artist but go for AI instead because they don’t want/need actual art if it’s more expensive

Something’s still looking weird here, huh. e^iπ^ (

Conferences are great. I assumed this was about those random e-mails that invite you to an unknown and suspiciously broad conference

If you genuinely don’t know: because it’s an attention-grabbing title (which isn’t inherently bad)

With European context this feels a bit racist. Just replace ‘Slav’ with any other discriminated against group of immigrants (Muslims, Chinese people).
