  • I've recently learned Americans don't do log tables in high school.

    Log is the opposite of exponent, so log2 is the opposite of squared, log 3 the opposite of cubed. log4 opposite of x^4 etc

    instead of making things relatively bigger, you're going the other way and making things smaller, in the diagram this means that if the sun's size is 1 unit, under log2 it would have to be twice as big as the sun to be represented as the same size as the sun, the closer you get to the edge the bigger it has to be to be represented as the same size as the sun

  • I think its just a circular logarithmic representation of the universe starting at Sol

  • what would they have to produce to not be snake oil?

  • behind the bastards is 12 presses of the skip button

    no such thing as a fish is 4

  • Can you name a company who has produced an LLM that doesn't refer to it generally as part of "AI"?

    can you name a company who produces AI tools that doesn't have an LLM as part of its "AI" suite of tools?

  • What are you talking about? I read the papers published in mathematical and scientific journals and summarize the results in a newsletter. As long as you know equivalent undergrad statistics, calculus and algebra anyone can read them, you don't need a qualification, you could just Google each term you're unfamiliar with.

    While I understand your objection to the nomenclature, in this particular context all major AI-production houses including those only using them as internal tools to achieve other outcomes (e.g. NVIDIA) count LLMs as part of their AI collateral.

  • I've been working on an internal project for my job - a quarterly report on the most bleeding edge use cases of AI, and the stuff achieved is genuinely really impressive.

    So why is the AI at the top end amazing yet everything we use is a piece of literal shit?

    The answer is the chatbot. If you have the technical nous to program machine learning tools it can accomplish truly stunning processes at speeds not seen before.

    If you don't know how to do - for eg - a Fourier transform - you lack the skills to use the tools effectively. That's no one's fault, not everyone needs that knowledge, but it does explain the gap between promise and delivery. It can only help you do what you already know how to do faster.

    Same for coding, if you understand what your code does, it's a helpful tool for unsticking part of a problem, it can't write the whole thing from scratch

  • fuck

  • engineer: what about a wall instead of a door?

  • He says "Hello"

  • which he inherited from a Venusian Space Magic cult who believe the Roswel landing was people from Venus who gave us the raw fruit diet to heal all human illnesses because that's what they do on Venus.

  • They are probably referring to Brenda Berkman who successfully sued the NY dept because they could not prove that the requirements of the test matched the actual conditions firefighters face: that as soon as women started applying they added a new condition that they had to meet speed requirements of carrying an unresponsive body up a burning building: something that you simply wouldn't do.

    The moment they reverted the test to what men had previously had to accomplish, 41 women passed with flying colors.

  • my guess is they saw a tweet they didn't like, which is a damning indictment of the past 180 years.

  • Febuary isn't a month either. The machine is copying OPs already incorrect pattern. GIGO.

  • illegal aliens aren't Americans

    not my point. I meant hurt Americans by increasing food and cost of living expenses, reduction in farming workforce, loss of tax revenue meaning increased taxes on the poorest

    edit: not to mention the social cost of witnessing raids, which are generally pretty unpopular when witnessed in person or to someone you know

    "started under Obama"

    by the very self same person you just lauded as doing good thing

    "it's not a war crime because we're not at war"

    we are at war. America has been at war 228 out of 245 years (in before "its only congress that can declare war and they haven't done that since ww2!" so the war in Iraq was not a war etc)

    But also, the technical definition of war does not mean destroying families is suddenly a good thing lol

    it's more of a crime to traffick kids

    That's not what human trafficking is, and it's disingenuous to suggest it is. And the solution to human trafficking is not to further traffick the victims, which is the solution here.

    trekking across a desert... climbing a wall

    this is a fantasy and for the most part is statistically insignificant to illegal immigration. Most people drive or fly into America, and do so legally. The illegal part occurs when their paperwork expires and, as you can imagine, it is then incredibly difficult to a) reup or b) remove persons for both sides. It's hard for the person in question because of all the barriers to entry, but also they moved to the US legitimately, and now the barriers exist only to make continued life more difficult, further compounding the situation; and, it's hard for the government because there simply isn't the resources to track expiry dates let alone action deportation on the back of them.

    you care more about x than y

    How do you know what I care about? This conversation does not have the scope to list and stack rank an exhaustive list of all the things I care about, but you are welcome to go first.

    Secondly, many of the starving homeless Americans are children of 1stG immigrants, whose lives are made worse by these policies.

    Laken Riley is a joke to you?

    A) when did I say that?

    b) Google the numbers on who commits more violent crime - spoiler not only do immigrants commit less crime, and less severe types, but they also have an effect of reducing crime amongst Americans in their community

  • The guy who brought the war crime of parental separation from children to US policy. Why do you think that ruining children's lives, who would otherwise be raised in families, cared for and loved, literal babies torn from their mother's breast, is a good thing? And for what? Money? This policy is the most expensive way of doing anything, and removing immigration negatively impacts the country both as a collective and as per capita, so it's purely just ideological cruelty on an arbitrary group of people.

    Secondly, the guy is a proven outright liar, who frequently quotes false and made up statistics, loves to joke about women getting raped, and regularly collaborates with listed hate groups.

    Why not appoint a competent, truthful person who truly cares about helping America than someone actively trying to hurt both America and Americans?

  • If they are already in the country then it would be pointless to describe how to enter the country.

  • What does it do? Its best.

  • Here we go again.

    But TP sucks at cleaning your butthole
