We’re looking at this from opposite sides of the same coin.

The NN graph is written at a high-level in Python using frameworks (PyTorch, Tensorflow—man I really don’t miss TF after jumping to Torch :) ).

But the calculations don’t execute on the Python kernel—sure you could write it to do so but it would be sloooow. The actual network of calculations happen within the framework internals; C++. Then depending on the hardware you want to run it on, you go down to BLAS or CUDA, etc. all of which are written in low-level languages like Fortran or C.

Numpy fits into places all throughout this stack and its performant pieces are mostly implemented in C.

Any way you slice it: the post I was responding to is to argue that AI IS CODE. No two ways about that. It’s also the weights and biases and activations of the models that have been trained.

Neural nets are typically written in C; then frameworks abstract on top of that (like Torch, or Tensorflow) providing higher-level APIs to languages like (most commonly) Python, or JavaScript.

There are some other nn implementations in Rust, C++, etc.

You seem like a good person and I wish Lemmy had a way to follow people. Need more positivity in the feed. Keep it up, friend.

Voting for Democrats isn’t even voting for the Left anymore. More Rlite.

I feel similar but with a 16-17” 3K resolution. Honestly it’s the biggest thing keeping me away from a Linux laptop and in my ancient 15” MacBook Pro.

Wet Cougar in the bathtub.

“Right to Travel” == right to walk on and across an interstate freeway where 5000 lb death missiles are hurtling past me at 90 mi/hr.

Oh they fucking know. Say it with me:

Wealth Inequity

I don’t think anyone really hates Jo Millionaire. Jo, the master electrician that lives down the street and employs 5-10 electricians from apprentice to employee-master is a millionaire and contributes positively to their local community. Creating jobs through helping people with their electrical projects, spending in the local economy, etc. And that’s a realistic goal for their apprentices to aspire and work towards.

Unfortunately that’s who republican voters think they’re voting to support.

But they’ve been duped; they’re actually voting to support the Billionaire Aristocrats of the world who pull up the ladder behind them through monetary influence of politics and not paying a damn dime on their ‘income’ (because they’re “borrowing against” their unfathomable hoard).

“They” know why the voters and disenfranchised and that’s their fucking plan—because it keeps them employed and wining and dining fancy with their Aristocrat puppet masters.

Pretty sure my Calc2 prof pulled this trick on us sometime in the solids of revolution unit. Started deriving something on the board, just another cylinder ok, but wtf are you calling the radius ‘z’?

Costco’s soft-serve is way better than McD’s and actually is cheap.

I know more humans that fit that description than language models.

No. Strictly and technically speaking, LLMs absolutely fall under the category of AI. You’re thinking of AGI, which is a subset of AI, and which LLMs will be a necessary but insufficient component of.

I’m an AI Engineer; I’ve taken to, in my circles, calling AI “Algorithmic Intelligence” rather than “Artificial Intelligence.” It’s far more fitting term for what is happening. But until the Yanns and Ngs and Hintons of the field start calling it that, we’re stuck with it.

Bullshit. Developers never make mistakes. N.E.V.R.

You mean working half-time? The material practically writes itself as soon as Donnie T. gets involved.

He is a political entertainer/whore and Putin’s useful gimp. What was anyone really expecting from this guy? A dissertation on the causes of economic injustice and inequity?

I accidentally sudo removed recursively our prod server. You know how I told you to never sudo rm -rf when you’re at home? I did it at root. Pass me another cigarette now would you? Yes I know I’m not done with this one, I’m gonna need the whole pack.

You may have my code. But your fork is your own, as per the license and you may use it in your designs as per the license. Though I will not assist you I do hope for your success, as I also hope that you may share in my struggle to make the machinations of our Spirit work to make the world a better place, and that you will contribute your improvements upstream.

Weekend at Donny’s 3.

No, but it’s basically a “I can use it to build my billion-dollar business and keep the profits if I want” license. The only real catch is that if I decide to modify the code and distribute it, I’m required by the license to share those changes with whoever gets the modified version. There’s nothing in the GPL that stops me from being a downstream freeloader, and I can stay on whatever version I like—no one’s forcing me to update to newer ones with terms I don’t agree with. Forking and modifying for my own needs is totally fine, as long as I slap the same GPL on the changes if I hand them out.
