I prefer to use the lossless format of PNG, pronounced as Ping.

Plus why would anyone use the expensive ram ssds and gpus to make a datacenter for videogames when they can hop onto the AI hype before it’s gone?

I’ve moved away from Classes in general unless it truly makes code more streamlined. The main language I was taught in highschool was Java and it’s just so liberating not needing to turn everything into an object.

But recently I’ve used a Class specifically for Inheritance. I’m making an extension to Pytorch and almost everything in Pytorch uses Tensors as a medium. I made a new kind of tensor that inherits the Tensor class to add specific restrictions on how it behaves. Because of this, this new tensor object can be used with any of the preexisting pytorch functions while also validating the results, reverting to a Tensor if it becomes invalid.

Even in this situation though, all my programming logic rests in it’s own static functions, and the class contains functions that call the static version. The only actual logic the inherited object handles is validating the data.

Because of this, I feel like inheritance is most useful when you’re inheriting someone else’s code to make it compatible with their library. I don’t think I’ll ever inherit my own objects because that’s how you end up with Java.

I’m not so worried about how tiny we are as much as I’m worried how small the max speed of mass is (speed of light). If space warping drives end up impossible then the vast majority of what you can see at any position in the universe is already unreachable for that observer. Viewing eternity through onesided glass.

A lot of what he says is too obvious, but this one actually got me to think. Like oh yeah, sand dampens force and vibrations, it’s what sandbags are typically meant for; and yeah, a giant worm probably would have to move like a desert snake to get anywhere in sand.

The annoying thing is conspiracy just means a multiple people orchestrating crimes together, conspiring with each other.

But the word conspiracy also means a fake conspiracy, which is a real “inflammable means flammable” type situation.

I’ve often heard that the delegitamizing of the idea of conspiracies is itself a conspiracy to get people to think conspiracies don’t happen, which I fully believe.

Don’t misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

Guys I think the jokes supposed to be that our brains autocorrected it to say “23 mil” similar to the real number. But it actually says just 23 dollars which would be silly.

She’s a princess from what I know.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out!

This is a good showcase on why, even if you win, gambling will still drain you. There’s plenty of stories of people who hit the jackpot immediately wasting it all hoping for a second jackpot.

I accidentally hit send on an incomplete thought, ignore this comment.

I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t think I’ve seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the “trapped in VR” ones.

I’m always a little disappointed by how quickly the regular world becomes irrelevant in the story. The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.

But from the isekais I’ve seen, I’d say you could replace half of them with a person with amnesia and nothing would change.

I’m assuming they are a trans girl, so the mom saying she needs “a man’s help” was misgendering her. OP basically affirmed that because they are not a man they cannot help and gave back the jar unopened. Given the pettyness one can assume that the mom misgendering OP is a frequent occurrence.

The data has more direct consequences when it comes to machine learning algorithms to keep you on the website and funnel you into a personalized echo chamber.

The epitome of this is TikTok, it’s algorithm was the only thing that set it apart from other short video apps. Youtube is a video host with an integrated recommendation algorithm, Tiktok is a recommendation algorithm with integrated video hosting.

The other replies are close but not quite. This is an elementary cellular automaton, the simplest form of cellular automaton. For every pixel in the last layer, it determines if the pixel in the next layer should be 0(white) or 1(black) based on the last layer’s pixel and it’s neighbors.

The game of life is also a cellular automaton but it’s 2 dimensional, elementary cellular automaton are 1 dimensional resulting in a maximum of 256 variations called “rules”. The rules are represented by 8 binary digits which also represent a number between 0 and 255.

What you see here is rule 00100010, or in other words rule 34.

Fundamentally due to it’s design, LLMs are digital duct tape.

The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM’s solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.

But it’s ultimately still a compromise, you’ll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it’s sole purpose is to fulfill the “human readable” part of that deal. So it’s applications are revolutionary in the same way as “how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?” kind of way.

I work at a school and I received training that explicitly told us zero tolerance does not work, made me do a double take. So in at least the northern states things are changing for the better.

America: “Oh, what did I do to deserve this!? I mean what specifically?”
