  • is there any legitimate use of blockchains?

  • OpenCerts

    An easy way for employers to verify that your certifications are authentic.

    Tangentially, a lot of scientists do research on topics that do not see application in everyday life immediately.

    I can't think of any examples off the top of my head, but I remember reading articles on how some research bear fruit - ones with huge impacts - only decades later.

    To stop research into a topic because there is no practical application now is short-sighted IMO.

  • How many people do you have blocked?

    Jump

  • "People" as in actual humans? None, I think.

    If I block those with frequent trash takes, I won't get to downvote them next time. Other reasonable people would then see their future posts with higher scores.

  • What should be the ONE universal controller layout that everyone would agree on?

  • Please spare me from having to get in touch with that shit I wrote back then

  • But while I did not know the concept of loops, I did deduce functions from how main() is being used.

    Entire thing was one big recursion.

    Bro discovered functional programming.

  • When DeepSeek V4 and R2?

  • I thought DeepSeek's selling point was efficiency?

    Wikipedia editors adopt a policy giving admins the authority to quickly delete AI-generated articles that meet certain criteria, like incorrect citations

  • Did you generate this comment with a LLM for irony?

  • What AI tools have you found useful?

    Jump

  • Those that I find the most useful are those that I (and likely many others) tend to take for granted.

    For example, fuzzy logic may very well be used in electronics that involve temperature control - fridge, aircon, rice cooker, water heater - under the hood.

    Another one is CSP (constraint-satisfaction problems) solvers which tend to be used in scheduling softwares. A possible use case is public transportation.

    There are probably lots more AIs working behind the scenes that benefit everyone, but don't get the coverage because they are just boring tech now. People may not even consider them AI!

    I appreciate these AI for making my life so convenient.

  • What is the best way to learn investing, portfolios, stocks, options, futures, etc.?

  • ??

    Just thought the phrasing is funny because it is like ATM machine.

  • ETF index fund

    ETF is exchange-traded fund, so "ETF index fund" becomes "exchange-traded fund index fund"

  • Personally, I found Khan Academy helpful.

    For context I studied computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science.

    Given your background, you may also be interested in Georgia Tech OMSCS's Machine Learning for Trading.

    Unless you have plenty of time and knowledge - in which case you might as well be a daytrader or join a hedge fund or HFT - you are likely better off taking the easy way out by buying index ETFs.

    What anime or show do you think you would get isekai/summoned into?

  • Considering that AI is "hallucinating", and able to make up information that seems true based on what the model was trained on, what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?

    Jump

  • what is the difference between current AI and the human brain?

    My understanding is that: the fields of neuroscience and psychology are not developed enough (at this point in time) for anyone to provide a definitive answer to this question.

    Anyone who claims otherwise would probably have to make assumptions, and may be talking out of their ass.

  • Lore vs Gameplay

    Jump

  • If you consider the perspective of the serfs who built the pyramids, the gameplay is actually kinda lore-accurate.

  • AI Job Fears Hit Peak Hype While Reality Lags Behind

    Jump

  • yet further down, IBM alone has replaced "hundreds" of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

    The article is implying that claims like these are bogus, no?

  • Capital Economics analysts warned that some firms use AI as cover for cuts driven by poor financial performance. “For some firms, AI is a way to spin job losses driven by poor financial performance in a more positive light,” they wrote.

    The AI job apocalypse narrative serves multiple purposes: it justifies hiring freezes, explains away poor financial performance, and creates urgency around AI adoption.

    I suspected as much too: that the people in-charge are using AI as a scapegoat so that the anger that would have been directed at them gets turned towards AI instead.

    Given that there's a vocal minority of Lemmings who blindly hate AI, I'd say their propaganda has definitely found at least some success.

  • Who is your favourite Anti Hero?

  • Is the Fediverse stalling?

    Jump

  • I appreciate your effort. I was more of a lurker on Reddit, but realised we all got to actively participate here if we want Lemmy (and the Fediverse at large) to succeed.

    Unfortunately, content marketing is a long-term ROI strategy. IMO other marketing means (e.g. ads, influencers) would do a better job of bringing new users onboard in the short term, helping us to tap into the network effect.

  • IMO there hasn't been enough marketing of Fediverse / Lemmy / etc.
