  • I don’t think he did it on purpose either, but the lead part is true. The Center for Environment Health did test it.

    Don’t worry, I’m going to die to this fascism too.

    You’re barking up the wrong tree. Most people in the state are incompetent, not evil. The problem is incompetence allows evil to thrive. I’ve never supported censorship, but I do support people getting consequences to their actions. Alex Jones has actively supported violence through lies, and actively sold poison with no recompense. If you think what he’s going through now is recompense… I’m sorry? But you’re wrong. He’s doing fine through his crocodile tears.

    Please. Take care of yourself. And whomever in your community you have the power to take care of. We only get through this together.

    It’s good. Thanks for correcting yourself. :3

    The graphs struck me as weird when learning as I expected the input and output nodes to be neuron layers as well… Which they are, but not in the same way. So I frequently miscounted myself while learning, sleep deprived in the back of the classroom. ^^;;




  • … 1957

    Perceptrons. The math dates back to the 40s, but '57 marks the first artificial neural network.

    Also 35 years is infancy in science, or at least teenage, as we see from deep learning’s growing pains right now. Visualizations of neural network responses and reverse engineering neural networks to understand how they tick predate 2010 at least. Deep Dream was actually built off an idea of network inversion visualizations, and that’s ten years old now.


  • When you’re working at the algorithm level, you get funny looks… Even if it gets to state of the art results, who cares because you can throw more electricity and data at it instead.

    I worked specifically on low data algorithms, so my work was particularly frowned upon by modern ai scientists.

    I’m not doxxing myself, but unpublished work of mine got published in parallel as Prototypical Networks in 2017. And everyone laughed (<- exaggeration) at me researching RBFs which were considered defunct. (I still think they’re an untapped optimization.)


  • So called because the toast in military kitchens were nicknamed shingles, as in roofing tiles. Evocative of bad cooking, which I’m betting was rampant.

    Honestly, shit on a shingle (s.o.s. appropriately) is better than it sounds, even when not referred to under that name. But it’s definitely a comfort food. It’s not good for you, it’s just creamy, beefy, and starch. Inoffensive, cheap, and easy to make in bulk. (Kinda want some now.)

    In the US, in most states, getting caught or recognized is enough to put you on the sex offender list. Even if you’re in private. (Again, in most states.) And that means you can no longer move into a new home without informing all your neighbors that you’re a sex offender for the rest of your life, among other penalties. There’s no difference to the US between this and people who actually do sexual crimes when it comes to this punishment.



  • Or use it on large scale computing for protein folding simulations, or something.

    And yeah, gravity batteries is the best I think we have, with water being the most common medium with pumped-storage hydroelectricity. But the scales of the things are kind of incongruent and… Autoincorrect actually got it right trying to correct that to inconvenient. Still really cool. I think we may need some innovations to cut down on scale issues though. Although it looks like the total power storage available is about one day worth of power for the US in PSH, I’m curious if the instantaneous output is sufficient for the grid and how spread out the storage locations are, as I somewhat doubt they’re often in flatter regions. All in all, I’m not a power engineer, I just know a few and I should bug them sometime.






  • Hm. I speak like a bot, do I? Maybe I am autistic after all.

    I am aware, my boyfriend and I have already had this conversation, but I guess he’s not on Lemmy, so you can’t ask him.

    Yes, DeepSeek caused a drop in the stock price, but you were saying that believing that LLM’s are over-hyped would lead to having insider knowledge and could give us an advantage in the stock market. Particularly with their already tanked stock. However, the stock market fluctuates based on hype, not value, and will do whatever the fuck it pleases, so the only way to have insider knowledge is by being on a board who controls the price or by managing to dump hype into the system. That is not something a lot of people have the power to do individually.

    But since you think I’m a bot and I have no way to disprove that thanks to what the world is now, I bid you adieu. I hope you’re having a good one. And stop antagonizing people for talking differently, please.

    Edit: I took a look at your recent comment history, and you do come off as trying to troll and be disingenuous. If you want to have a less inflammatory conversation, you can DM me, but I do recommend you tone it down. You’re not helping anyone with how you’re approaching this, buddy.


  • I’m glad we agree. I don’t know how much mental energy we should devote to these things, but I guess I’m happy to see discussion on this platform. I kind of miss the days when I had to respond to people who watched I, Robot and think I’m trying to destroy humanity, instead of… I don’t know what to call this except basically the same thing they did in the 60’s before the first AI winter, but with more drastic consequences.
