• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out you can train AI models without copyrighted material⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the LLM’s dataset uses only public domain and openly licensed material.

  I’m curious about the specifics of all this. Probably the most well-known “openly licensed” sort of licenses (aside from licenses specifically intended only for software) are the Creative Commons family of licenses, all of which require attribution. So then the question would become “if you’ve used any of my CC-licensed content in training this model, am I attributed somewhere?” If so, surely the list is extremely long. Or maybe Creative Commons wasn’t “openly”-enough licensed and they excluded all CC-licensed content from the training set.

  Also, the public domain is definitely strongly biased toward very old content. You’d think a lot of the answers you got from that LLM would be based on some very outdated information. Maybe they specifically limited it to (or at least adjusted weights or something to make it prefer) recent materials in the public domain.

  But then the article also says:

  It performed about as well as Meta’s similarly sized Llama 2-7B from 2023.

  On top of all this, I have to say that the LLM sphere really is just scams piled on top of scams, so it’s fairly probable either that it doesn’t perform anywhere near as well as Llama 2-7B and they’re just lying or that actually Llama 2-7B (and indeed all LLMs as well) is just total shit too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely not too weird a question!

  There are plenty of introverted Americans who hate how extraverted it is here. And the U.S. definitely isn’t “superior” to Germany in that way (or any other particular way.)

  Also, there’s a difference between introversion, shyness, social anxiety, an avoidant and/or schizoid and/or schizotypal personality type, an avoidant attachment style, hikikomori/shutins, autism, and plenty of other sorts of socially-averse sorts of temperments. Some are “problems”, some aren’t. Given the way you’re talking about yourself, it sounds like what you’re experiencing is something you’d like to change about yourself. I do think it’s worth introspecting a bit (see what I did there?) and seeing to what extent your desire to change is internalized shame put on you by others and to what extent changing your presentation in the world would lead to a truer expression of your true self. But assuming the latter is the case…

  Practice. Even if Germany is a pretty introverted place (and that’s valid – there are definitely differences regionally with regard to how introverted or extraverted the culture is) there are definitely places/events/gatherings/etc that are more expressions of extraversion than others. Immerse yourself in such events. Baby steps are fine. Start with contexts that are just a little bit more extraverted than you are if you like. And move on to more and more extraverted sorts of contexts. Also, I’d try to focus on events centered around things you hold a genuine interest in. (I, for instance, have enjoyed a lot of tabletop roleplaying games. That activity, even though it’s engaged in with others, feels much less overwhelming to me given that everyone’s focused on a common activity rather than just on “each other.”)

  One more word about this. Try to avoid “masking.” That is, don’t invent a facade of extraversion to show people. It’s very cliche to say it, but: “be yourself.” I think probably ultimately if you end up “pretending to be extraverted” rather than engaging in socialization in a way you genuinely enjoy, it’s likely to do you more harm than good with regard to your goals.

  Good luck!

  My favorite book ever. “Hackers” by Steven Levy. It really does a good job of giving you a sense of the early days of software development and the background behind/before the Free Software movement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfakes now come with a realistic heartbeat, making them harder to unmask⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, they can detect your pulse via a video? How? Variation in flushing during systolic vs diastolic phases of the heartbeat? Unconscious synchronization of affect/verbalization/whatever with one’s own heartbeat? Given the following, I think it must be closer to the former:

  The analysis of the transmission of light through the skin and underlying blood vessels has long been indispensable in medicine, for example in pulse oximeters. Its digital cousin, so-called remote photoplethysmography (rPPP), is an emerging method in telehealthcare, which uses webcams to estimate vital signs. But rPPP can, in theory, also be used in deepfake detectors.

  In recent years, such experimental rPPP-based deepfake detectors have proven good at distinguishing between real and deepfaked videos.

  “Upgrade?” “UPGRADE?!” Oh no they didn’t.

  Seriously, though, there may well be ways around this without switching your OS. If it’s browser-based, the first thing I’d try is a user-agent switcher.

  Though, actually, does that “remind me later” option work? It does look kindof grayed out, but it couldn’t hurt to try a click.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dont worry about your retirement plan, simpsons never fail⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But the title of the article is “Did ‘The Simpsons’ Predict President Trump’s Death”. And it’s rated “false”. If The Simpsons did predict his death, just not as indicated by the specific image mentioned in the article, surely that would be mentioned and the overall rating would be something like “mixture” rather than “false”.

  I suppose unless The Simpsons predicted his death in an episode released after that Snopes article was written. In which case, fair point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨omg⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t intuitive to people?

  2/sqrt(2) = ( sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) ) / sqrt(2)
  

  Then cancelling out one of the sqrt(2)s in numerator with the sqrt(2) in the denominator, you’re left with sqrt(2).

  I do a lot of toodling around OpenSCAD, though, and sqrt(2) tends to come up a lot because, you know, Pythagoras and right triangles and all that.
