  • TL;DR when you learn breathing in the right way, crawling is the best

    I began swimming regularly 10 years ago or so. Nothing serious, just a couple of times a week, to try to keep my back in shape (spoiler: it wasn't enough for that but it is really good for heart and lungs)

    Well, initially I found that backstroke was better for me too, because I wasn't able to breath regularly during crawl and I wasn't comfortable having my head in the water all the time (and water in the nose... Not a good feeling)

    In the long run I learnt to breath well, and to gently push air out from the nose while the head was down. So now I feel much better crawling than backstroking. In the sea even more, because while backstroking, a wave can hit my face and send water in the nose easily, and this doesn't happen while crawling.

    Then, to each their own, but this was my experience

  • It should be possible to connect ghost 6 to the fediverse, so that anyone with mastodon, lemmy etc should be able to comment, like etc

  • No opinion, but I suggest you watch the movie "Gattaca" if you didn't already

  • For my understanding, what is the difference between a quote post and a post that contains a link to another post?

  • Done.

    Reminder for myself: read rules of community before posting, next time 🙂

  • I draw the concept, or write down the formula or even a sentence, on a shared board/screen etc. So I can clearly show my understanding and check where the other person understanding is different.

    It means that we have to work together to come to a common understanding.

  • There is no need to express opinions when we have good estimates for both your questions:

    Sector by sector: where do global greenhouse gas emissions come from? -> https://ourworldindata.org/ghg-emissions-by-sector

    individual solutions reviewed and assessed by Project Drawdown, including their relevant sector(s) and their impact on reducing heat-trapping gases -> https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions

    Both the links above are from a very interesting video on the topic that I suggest to take a look at. Also the whole channel is really interesting and well done -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReXaS4QausQ

  • Very cool!

    I'm wondering how long until Bluesky locks down its users

  • Even if LLM "neurons" and their interconnections are modeled to the biological ones, LLMs aren't modeled on human brain, where a lot is not understood.

    The first thing is that how the neurons are organized is completely different. Think about the cortex and the transformer.

    Second is the learning process. Nowhere close.

    The fact explained in the article about how we do math, through logical steps while LLMs use resemblance is a small but meaningful example. And it also shows that you can see how LLMs work, it's just very difficult

  • Yes, that's it. I added the link in the OP,

  • Very arrogant answer. Good that you have intuition, but the article is serious, especially given how LLMs are used today. The link to it is in the OP now, but I guess you already know everything...

  • Thank you. I found the article, linkin the OP

  • Oh wow thank you! That's it!

    I didn't even remember now good this article was and how many experiments it collected

  • I'm aware of this and agree but:

    • I see that asking how an LLM got to their answers as a "proof" of sound reasoning has become common
    • this new trend of "reasoning" models, where an internal conversation is shown in all its steps, seems to be based on this assumption of trustable train of thoughts. And given the simple experiment I mentioned, it is extremely dangerous and misleading
    • take a look at this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xx4Tpsk_fnM : everything is based on observing and directing this internal reasoning, and these guys are computer scientists. How can they trust this?

    So having a good written article at hand is a good idea imho

  • TL:DR -> https://thelemmy.club/comment/19143233

    Examples:

    • The year doesn't start at the shortest day (Persian calendar is better in that regard).
    • month length is not evenly distributed. Why is February shorter?
    • time is almost never power of 10: there is 12, 60, 24
    • time zones are used to follow alliances: see al the nations that went to CET after fall of URSS
    • you can easily estimate your local time by looking at the sun
    • Holidays tend to happen on the same approximate dates even when major cultural changes happen. See how Christianity took over a lot of things from Romans.
  • High voltage contact shirt. You touch me, you fry

  • Woah, I think you catchet the biggest problem I have with it immediatly. I'm thinjking of opening an issue maybe?
