  • Selling the Sun [Jen Sorensen]

  • Weren't they fully debunked? Like they tried it out with some reflectors on a hot air balloon, that wasn't even very high up. The reflectors weren't very large and pretty shitty. But they showed the number went up when they reflected some light down to a sensor on the ground.

    It's an absolute joke, you'd need so many of these things to get even a little bit of coverage. And the performance is terrible. Like it would be worse than a half full moon. It's light but not useful light. And it only lasts a few minutes at max (usually shorter), so what's the point?

    This is so fucking dumb, but it fits in the world we live in today.

  • Get an OLED, the picture quality is amazing. Just never connect it to the internet, you can just plug in HDMI and it will simply work.

  • What about the Deanna torture episodes?

  • What about the one where the alien communications were driving her insane? And the only one she had for company was a dude that was left on a bed in sickbay for two weeks. This man had it even worse, not only going insane, but just stuck to the bed, no bathroom breaks, no showers, not even fresh clothes. He must have been pretty rank in the end.

  • A burger has bread, meat, pickle, cheese and sauce and is great. But somehow if it's the same concept but in the form of a pizza it's a crime against food? I've had pizza with pickles on them before, it tastes absolutely great.

  • Did you dry your filament? How old is it? Did you get all your filament pre-owned as well? Depending on the kind of material, it has a limited shelf life, once you get beyond that it won't ever print right.

    Try some brand new filament and see how that works.

  • Questions mount after Mitch McConnell CPR reports emerge

    Jump

  • As far as McConnell is concerned, I feel like for a long time now even though the lights are on there is nobody home. When he froze up during that press conference in 2023 it was hard to look at. The man was confused, scared and looked like he wanted to cry but forgot how to do so. I absolutely hate the man, but in my book nobody deserves something like that. But still they prop him up, instead of sending him off on retirement, they keep his walking corpse around to keep the power. I'm not sure if McConnell himself is aware of what is happening, or even wants to be part of it. I wouldn't put it past the old bastard for sure. But at this point his judgement is clearly impaired and keeping him working is elder abuse IMHO.

  • Perfect how they are talking about child rape and the victim defending their selves by biting the penis. But let's sensor the word bitch, the readers would be shocked and outraged if they read such a foul word. Wtf is wrong with people these days....

  • Well when they said the Pentagon was using AI to help coordinate the attacks on Iran, I simply assumed it was some expert system with a machine learning component. But no, it turns out they were using Grok, an actual LLM chatbot. Which is fucking crazy.

    So sometimes the assumption goes the other way as well.

  • Why is the "that word" being censored across lemmy?

    Jump

  • I see time, must be something on your side or instance? Probably a mistake, I can't see how time is a slur in any way or form.

  • What AI does to the minds of novice coders

    Jump

  • Yeah that's spot on. AI is always shown to do so well in coding using small tutorial like exercises or by generating demos. But in reality that's almost never what devs actually work on. Usually it's huge codebases with many different interconnected parts. Stuff that takes quite a while to figure out. And AI simply isn't capable of dealing with anything like that.

    It has this thing called the context window, which is pretty much all the knowledge the AI can have outside of its model based on the training data. These context windows are very limited in size, with beefy ones around 1M tokens. This is obviously not enough to hold the system prompt, the user prompt and all of the directly related code. And it also has to store all of the responses and follow up, the entire conversation. Another issue is when the context window is filled up a lot, the output quality suffers, there's often too much information to give a concise answer as the bot doesn't actually understand anything that was said.

    So the bots use tricks where they will only read parts of the files. Using tools to quickly find related files and only read the relevant lines on those. It will also fall back onto common patterns, which may or may not be how the code base is actually made. Another trick they do is summarizing the conversation. There the AI summarizes the key parts of the prompt, responses and follow ups and writes it out in short form. Obviously this works kinda meh where key details are often lost. And then you get heavily into diminishing returns territory.

    In my experience, when working on larger codebases, AI coding tools are mostly useless. They have to be babied through simple stuff and corrected often. This is very frustrating and takes more time than just doing the work yourself.

    And if you are working with some older coding guidelines that are different from what's normally used today. Oh boy that's a bad time.

    People get easily impressed about the thing getting a demo sorta right. Which is admittedly impressive for any computer system to do so. But it's usually not actually right and very limited in scope. Most folk tend to extrapolate intelligence like they do with humans. If a human can do a demo well or ace an exam, they know their stuff. But with AI we have this thing termed jagged intelligence, where it can get an insanely hard complex question absolutely spot on. And then fail on very basic questions.

    If it weren't for the huge amount of marketing and shady business going on with AI, I doubt anyone would take it seriously. It's a neat curiosity, a nice play thing, but not something we would actually call "AI".
