  • The "fuck you I got mine" mindset. Sigh

  • Rather Chinese nationalism is still very much alive and well in Taiwan

    Only a small minority identify themselves as "Chinese not Taiwanese" nowadays. According to the latest public surveys (News article, Survey source, has English in the graphs), only 2.4% think that way (declining), 61% identify as Taiwanese (rising), and 32% as both (declining). And then you compare it to the unify-indipendence survey and see that a combined 60% still prefer the status quo, with independence behind at 25%, and unify at 10%. KMT may still have a large voter base in TW, but Chinese nationalism isn't the only reason people vote for them. You would want to look at 中華統一促進黨 for true Chinese nationalism and PRC sympathisers.

  • More or less. Bone conduction headphones still operate by vibrating, and vibration makes sound, no matter how small it is.

  • They are releasing full episodes onto YouTube. I can see past full episodes of S11 whenever, and they say they plan to upload past seasons as well (announcement video). Maybe it's a regional restrictions thing that is preventing you to see full episodes.

  • somehow I doubt most people on here including you pay for online newsletters.

  • China is deseparately trying to flip off every neighboring country, aren't they?

  • So I couldn't find a membership-free version of this article, and not considering to sign up for another website, so I'm commenting on what I can see. Edit: I signed up with 10 minute mail, it's an okay article.

    I did the same search on Google Scholar, and it gave me 188 results. A good chunk of it are actually legitimate papers that discuss ChatGPT / AI capabilities and quoted responses from it. Still, a lot of papers that have nothing to do with machine learning have the same text in it, which I'm both surprised and not surprised.

    As FaceDeer pointed out, the amount of papers schools have to churn out each year is astounding, and there are bound to be unremarkable ones. Most of them are, actually. When something becomes a chore, people will find an easier way to get through it. I won't be surprised if there were actually more papers that use ChatGPT to generate parts of it that didn't have the quote, students already do that with Wikipedia for their homework before ChatGPT was even a thing, this is just a better version of it. To be fair, it is a powerful tool that aggregates information with a single line of text, and most of the time its reliable. Most of the time. That's why you have to do your own research and verify its validity afterwards. I have used Microsofts Copilot, and while I do like that it gives me sources, it sometimes still gives me stuff that the original source did not say.

    What I am surprised about is that, the professor, institute, or even the publisher didn't even think to do the basic amount of verification, and let something so blatantly obvious slip through. Some of the quotes appear right at the beginning of a paragraph, which is just laughable.

  • They kind of have to, otherwise it would be an Airbus monopoly, and there are plenty of planes they still need to deliver to customers. Management needs a total reshuffle for sure though.

  • Fortnine is a channel whose videos I would watch instantly. You don't need to own a bike to appreciate the quality of the videos Ryan and his team produces.

  • It's still more viable in regions where people don't have personal garages, and their apartment parking lot doesn't support retrofitting charging stands.

  • I see. I still don't think it's cause for concern yet, but good to know. Thanks!

  • Which I don't think has anything to do with GenAI. Though, I admit I'm not well educated in ear scanning and 3D audio reconstruction, so good sources are appreciated.

  • How personally identifiable is your ear though? It's not connected to your thoughts, you can't use it to determine your age height and weight, which ad company would need that data? IMO, it's no different than sending a mold of your ear tube to a CIEM company to get your custom molded earphones.

  • Foreign interference Anyone who opposes us

  • Wrong chat dude. What does that have to do with AI anyways?

  • Why? If you know how to incorporate "boilerplate" and modify it correctly into your own code, what difference does it make if its from ChatGPT or Stackoverflow?

  • That's why I said code "snippets". I don't trust it to give me the entire answer right from the get go, because I acknowledge its limitations and review it before pasting it in. I find it works better if I tell it to generate specific code rather than everything at once.

    Plus, we're not working on mission critical server stuff here. Those are code used for data analysis which probably could also be found on Stackoverflow anyway. If it works, it works.

  • Everything is magic if you don't understand how the thing works.

  • It's pretty useful if you know exactly what you want and how to work within it's limitations.

    Coworkers around me already use ChatGPT to generate code snippets for Python, Excel VBA, etc. to good success.
