  • We put the Thing That Can't Do Numbers™ in your spreadsheets

  • At the same time, that sounds like something you'd just use old-fashioned sentiment analysis for.

    It's less accurate, but also far less demanding, and doesn't risk hallucinating.

  • How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?

    Jump

  • Then you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you continue to shit out hundreds of videos.

    I'm not even sure that you would have to do the abandoning part. There's likely toolkits that let you upload to multiple channels at once. You can just start them up and spread them out as you wish.

    Why abandon a channel when it costs nothing to upload to it, and it might go viral one day?

    A lot of older videos can be randomly promoted by the algorithm.

  • Or that extrajudicial punishment should exist.

    What's the point of the justice system if people just take things into their own hands? The whole point of it is to make sure that the punishment fits the crime, and that the person being punished is actually guilty.

  • Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

    Jump

  • Firstly, that clip shows nothing about the driver's current speed, only that everyone is driving the same speed.

    You cannot do 140 km/h down the interstate, just as you do not do 100 km/h down a residential street or a main road. That's a pretty notable difference. No-one does that.

    An extra 15 miles an hour is a pretty significant difference basically everywhere, unless you're on the Autobahn or something.

    Jump

  • No it isn't. No normal person drives 30 kilometers over the speed limit. You don't go into a school zone doing 40 mi/h.

  • Am I the only one that finds this absurd?

    Jump

  • I've found it to happen when an app schedules something for deletion, but the OS doesn't get around to actually completing the deletion operation for one reason or another. A normal restart seems to fix it up for me.

  • Patterns might be portable on storage devices, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re cross-platform, especially cross-species/technology, or maybe it would require a technical specialist to convert the pattern between systems.

    At least on this front, Star Trek doesn't tend to have that much of an issue crossing between platforms. The only time problems seem to rear their head is when another completely different computing paradigm comes into play (like using biochemical computers instead of electrical).

    Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be anything technically preventing you from hooking up your Federation computers to a Cardassian mining station and have everything work more or less okay.

  • Isn't Copilot basically an OpenAI GPT interface?

  • The plastic inside us: how microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds

  • At the very least, we know that they're chemically inert, but the current school of thought is that they might cause trouble as a result of that, by physically obstructing things, even if they don't otherwise cause problems.

  • It's true...

  • That's a good way to get kicked out of the wet lab. Most tutors are incredibly serious about treating bodies with respect, you can't take photos, or muck around with them.

    Going Hamlet with them would be absolutely not on.

  • At some point, though, it seems a little unreasonable, when there's enough ambiguity that the computer has 37 separate presets for tomato soup.

    It'd be like going to a coffee shop and adamantly demanding "coffee", and then being annoyed that the barista can't magically intuit what it is that you exactly want.

  • Presumably the patterns are not easily interchangeable/distributable - different file formats, different scanner resolution, maybe different output options (canonically some materials are more difficult to replicate than others, so might require a specialized replicator). Quark’s replicator, being Ferengi, is probably proprietary and requires purchasing new patterns only from the original manufacturer to increase the variety.

    They are, it just takes time to update, since it gets sent over whenever the computer gets updated. That's why Tom Paris was annoyed that the Voyager's replicator didn't have his preferred tomato soup ready. It was scheduled to be loaded onto the computers on Tuesday.

    You can write the pattern yourself, but it is easy to get them wrong (Janeway managed to have it consistently produce charcoal).

  • Now these errors are for the most part irrelevant in most applications, because food for example is still very edible and nutritious even if it is not absolutely 100% as good as the original, same goes for most spare ship parts and such.

    Star Trek's replicators also modify the food, which may matter more than small-scale errors. They specifically create a copy of the food that is deliberately nutritionally tailored for your specific dietary needs, and to remove poisonous substances within it.

    Those errors tend to be more of a problem for big complex molecules like DNA, or sophisticated things like computer chips.

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

  • It does vary. My Thinkpad (T490s) is awful if you want to do more than replace the battery and main drive, despite being a used office machine.

    To replace the keyboard for example, you basically have to disassemble the entire laptop, since the frame is a single unit, and the keyboard sits under it, sandwiched under the motherboard and case.

  • At the same time, she is also a public figure. If they had treated her well, they would have less of a leg to stand on. Whereas mistreating her just raises the question that if they are treating a relatively known public figure in that way, what happens to the less-known people, who don't have as much of a platform to speak out on.
