  • What a prompt

  • I've talked to my roommates about this, how we'd eat like a bowl of canned chili every day with a dollop of peanut butter as a treat.

  • How did people poop before smartphones were invented?

  • Glad to see they're still making these. Might grab one if the newer ones are any good.

  • The road to mitigating climate change and pollution will be filled with small inconveniences. In the grand scheme of things, is it really that big of a deal to spend a few cents on bags that are much more likely to end up properly disposed of to reduce the outsized amount of plastic bag litter and energy/oil spent on creating said bags?

  • One possible suggestion, is it possible for you to get a reusable collapsing basket to keep downstairs for carrying groceries?

  • God, it's like teachers trying to copy a link from their file browser. Well, bless them for trying.

  • What comes to mind?

  • They seem so directionless lately, and by god is AI the wrong horse to bet on for their users.

    I should check out LibreWolf...

  • OpenOffice was a really solid Microsoft Office rival, and FOSS to boot. Made by Sun Microsystems, of course, and then ruined by Oracle (of course).

    Thankfully LibreOffice was forked from it and is still going strong as a very capable suite of document tools. And OpenOffice is basically dead, womp womp.

  • Funnily enough, Libre Office is another great example of this, being forked from Open Office (and also way better).

  • “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs

    Jump

  • I mean, we've seen already that AI companies are forced to be reactive when people exploit loopholes in their models or some unexpected behavior occurs. Not that they aren't smart people, but these things are very hard to predict, and hard to fix once they go wrong.

    Also, what do you mean by synthetic data? If it's made by AI, that's how collapse happens.

    The problem with curated data is that you have to, well, curate it, and that's hard to do at scale. No longer do we have a few decades' worth of unpoisoned data to work with; the only way to guarantee training data isn't from its own model is to make it yourself

  • “Model collapse” threatens to kill progress on generative AIs

    Jump

  • Wow, it's amazing that just 3.3% of the training set coming from the same model can already start to mess it up.

  • I've read some snippets of AI written books and it really does feel like my brain is short circuiting

  • At least in this case, we can be pretty confident that there's no higher function going on. It's true that AI models are a bit of a black box that can't really be examined to understand why exactly they produce the results they do, but they are still just a finite amount of data. The black box doesn't "think" any more than a river decides its course, though the eventual state of both is hard to predict or control. In the case of model collapse, we know exactly what's going on: the AI is repeating and amplifying the little mistakes it's made with each new generation. There's no mystery about that part, it's just that we lack the ability to directly tune those mistakes out of the model.

  • Yup...i can confirm that

  • I've had very few issues with whitespace in my decade or so of using python, especially since git and IDEs do a lot to standardize it. I'm a Python simp, tho

  • Yup...i can confirm that

    Jump

  • Honestly, I've been using type hints very heavily since they became a thing. I just use IDE completion too much to do without them.

  • A Georgia woman has died after an abortion ban delayed lifesaving care

    Jump

  • A lot of pro-birth people argue "obviously things are different if the mother's life is in danger", but that ignores that there's often nothing obvious or definite about the line between "safe" and dangerous. Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time, and this is the result. People bleeding out in parking lots, suffering irreversible damage to their body, and people dying.

  • The best Sims game turns 20 today, calling forth a wave of warm nostalgia in the face of the franchise's uncertain future

    Jump

  • Paradox seemed like the ones to do it, what with publishing Cities Skylines, but unfortunately their life sim was canceled.

    Paralives is still going strong in development, though, with a pretty constant stream of updates. Really hoping that one sees the light of day. They've already got a pretty impressive building system working, but they've got some big ambitions, particularly when it comes to adaptive interactions with character heights.

  • Some people don't wear their glasses full-time. Could be they only usually use it for computer work and forgot to put them on until some eye strain set in.

    I can't conceive of seeing... anything without my glasses, but some do.
