  • I'm just here to say I LOVE Three Panel Soul.I've read through all of the artists previous comic, Machall Comics, like four or five times and it makes me extremely happy that they are still making new TPS

  • I have spent the last several weeks re-creating documents like this there were developed and maintained by one guy for 38 years.There's a half page drawing done in word that is lines and boxes and text all as text and positioned with spaces and tabs. I think I took a screenshot of it and just made it all one picture

  • Designed by men, for men: Why sex with robots does not have appeal among women

    Jump

  • An assembly line robot (like welding or material handling, I've worked with ABB, Fanuc, Motoman, Panasonic) are still called robot "arms" with the end portion often called the "wrist" so there is a degree of anthropomorphizing even if it's not the whole body. And they do resemble an arm, however with 6 axis motion the motion is more like from your hips to your wrist than shoulder to wrist.

  • Chaotic scene unfolded as 3 were shot and killed outside Kentucky driver's license office

    Jump

  • The article gives the names of the victims, were they related?

    The coroner’s statement said that the man, 18-year-old Leslye M. Harbin Jr., died of multiple gunshot wounds at the scene, while the two women, 33-year-old Antwanette Chillers and 29-year-old Raysa Pacios Valdes, each died of a gunshot wound at a hospital.

  • I don't understand why the summary would leave out the witness statements.

    Witnesses said the chaos unfolded at the busy office, which had a line out the door. Jalen Eddings told WHAS-TV that he had gone to the office but went back to his car to wait out the long line when the shooting unfolded nearby. He said two masked men shot the man multiple times, including as he lay on the ground, before they ran off. He said he didn’t see them fire at the women.

  • They don't fly commercial of course, they can afford to maintain their personal planes because of the safety risks, commercial airlines can't afford that cost because there are too many empty pockets at the executive level.

    I do know airlines are expensive to operate but it's basically a high tech bus service and you have no service without the bus

    Jump

  • I'm going to take your point to the extreme.

    It's only open source if the camera that took the picture that is used in the stock image that was used to create the texture is open source.You used a fully mechanical camera and chemical flash powder? Better publish that design patent and include the chemistry of the flash powder!

  • Bezos deletes 'LGBTQ+ rights' and 'equity for Black people' from Amazon policies

    Jump

  • I haven't bought anything from Walmart, Amazon, or Target in over a decade, probably close to two. Sure it costs a little more, but I try to source as much as I can from Costco which helps balance but otherwise I do almost all my shopping from local groceries (surefine, tops) and local hardware stores (franchises I know but generally locally owned)

  • Are you?Modern "Televisions" are pretty much smartphones with a big ass screen connected to them, and as such often requires an internet connection and some form of a login to use, even if you're hardwired directly to it.

    Modern tvs aren't just a screen that displays the data you send it, they're a standalone ad serving machine

  • IIUC the calculation of GDP doesn’t factor in whether the produced goods serve a human need - the system can in theory continue to optimize for ever-increasing GDP while every human on earth starves to death.

    There's an old joke I remember about economists and the GDP.

    Two economists are walking through the jungle and come across a gigantic pile of lion scat. One turns to the other and said I'll pay you 100$ to eat a bite of that shit.Being an economists and 100$ being worth a lot, the guy eats the shit and gets paid.A little while later they come across a pile of rhino dung. The now richer economist turns to the first and offers 100$ for him to take a bite out of this pile. 100$ is again a lot of money so he does it and eats the shit.As they're walking along, both picking their teeth, one turns to the other and asks "did we both just eat shit for nothing?" And the other days "of course not, now the GDP of the jungle has increased by 200$!"

  • Leaked Documents Show OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI’

  • Your analogy to mechanical systems are exactly where the breakdown to comparison with the human brain occurs, our brains are not like that, we don't only have the blocks of text loaded into us, sure we only learn what we get exposed to but that doesn't mean we can't think of things we haven't learned about. The article I linked talks about the separation between the formation of thoughts and those thoughts being translated into words for linguistics.

    The fact that you "don’t even know why the how the brain creates an articulated spoken word is even relevant here" speaks volumes to how much you understand the human brain, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence actually understanding the words it generates and the implications of thoughts behind the words and not just guessing which word comes next based on other words, the meanings of which are irrelevant.

    I can listen to a song long enough to learn the words, that doesn't mean I know what the song is about.

  • Funny to me how defensive you got so quick, accusing of not reading the linked paper before even reading it yourself.

    The reason OP was so rude is that your very premise of "what is the brain doing if not statistical text prediction" is completely wrong and you don't even consider it could be. You cite a TV show as a source of how it might be. Your concept of what artificial intelligence is comes from media and not science, and is not founded in reality.

    The brain uses words to describe thoughts, the words are not actually the thoughts themselves.

    https://advances.massgeneral.org/neuro/journal.aspx?id=1096

    Think about small children who haven't learned language yet, do those brains still do "stastical text prediction" despite not having words to predict?

    What about dogs and cats and other "less intelligent" creatures, they don't use any words but we still can teach them to understand ideas. You don't need to utter a single word, not even a sound, to train a dog to sit. Are they doing "statistical text prediction" ?

  • The Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) was a draft agreement negotiated in secret between members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) between 1995 and 1998.[1][2] It sought to establish a new body of universal investment laws that would grant corporations unconditional rights to engage in financial operations around the world, without any regard to national laws and citizens' rights. The draft gave corporations a right to sue governments if national health, labor or environment legislation threatened their interests.

    Literally designed to put the interests of corporations above the interests of nations and their citizens

  • There's a lot more to it than "they just do" we just don't know yet because there's actually a lot we don't understand about the fundamental properties of, well, fundamental particles.

    See the higgs boson as for why matter has mass. We used to say "inertia is a property of matter" but some clever fucks figured out why and then proved it.
