I thought it was still a Biden economy if it was floundering.

It’s actually OUR economy, and he’s supposed to help it run well. Like a casino.

Cars then were simpler, you got less for the price. Yes, today’s cars are overpriced, but maybe not as much as it seems.

I’ve seen videos of Suburus embarrassing normal 4X4s in climbing stuff, so this is a simple one. I mean an old Civic or Yugo would probably beat a Cybertruck too, so it’s a low bar.

“…under these conditions and for these wages.”

I’d rather not given what comes between. Can we instead get the future of the civilization in Strange New World’s pilot episode? They got the advantage of learning from the mistakes Earth made before they did the same and leapfrogged into the better stuff.

Possible, measuring the orbit will determine that likelihood. The article gives a few other formation possibilities as well. Finding a few other systems like this will help narrow down what exactly happened here. It doesn’t seem that impossible to me, not like the title implies, given that while the star is low mass for a star, it’s still a large mass, and the planet isn’t that huge (50% less mass than Saturn despite being a bit larger in size).

This just sounds like an extension of our understanding of how things are in the universe similar to pre-Voyager thoughts on what they’d find from our own system’s planets and moons. What we found was each place was unique with its own fascinating discoveries and not “just another rock”. Seems we’re finding that out for other solar systems as well.

Reminder that while it’s not Lemmy, you can see the same stuff and more if you join Mbin. The power of the Fediverse is that there are lots of ways to do things, important for situations like this.

Ironically, I haven’t looked into the current situation with .io lately, so I might be doing the same thing eventually. But being such a huge domain, there might be some adjustment to avoid dropping so many websites.

Second Foundation’s plot and characters were great, I can see we’ve deviated well past that book. I don’t hate the series, but I knew keeping close to the books would be impossible. And it’s a shame, because the book Mule is a fascinating character, and so is Arcady.

“You…cannot pass. Sorry. I don’t make the rules.”

LLMs can be good at openings. Not because it is thinking through the rules or planning strategies, but because opening moves are likely in most general training data from various sources. It’s copying the most probable reaction to your move, based on lots of documentation. This can of course break down when you stray from a typical play style, as it has less to choose from in the options of probability, and only a few moves in there won’t be any more since there’s a huge number of possible moves.

I.e., there’s no calculations involved. When you play a LLM at chess, you’re playing a list of common moves in history.

An even simpler example would be to tell the LLM that its last move was illegal. Even knowing the rules you just told it, it will agree and take it back. This comes from being trained to give satisfying replies to a human prompt.

I understand the cross-posting issue, it’s something that comes with a federated discussion format and I don’t think anyone has come up with a great way to solve it without such a distributed effort. It’s ironic that before when there were so few instances (before and during the first Reddit migration) there was a concern that without cross-posting a lot there wouldn’t be enough growth and some communities might die out if they happened to be on a single failing instance. I’d rather have too much activity than none at all, at least you can filter or block the worse ones.

are stupid

I’ve heard the only way to win is to lock down your shelter and strike first.

It can be bad at the very thing it’s designed to do. It can repeat phrases often, something that isn’t great for writing. But why wouldn’t it, it’s all about probability so common things said will pop up more unless you adjust the variables that determine the randomness.

There’s some very odd pieces on high dollar physical chess sets too.

“Anybody who thinks LLMs are a direct route to the sort [of] AGI that could fundamentally transform society for the good is kidding themselves.”

A quote in an article that still uses the generic “AI” to refer to LLM models, thus losing any credibility. Probably was written by an LLM - sorry, AI, since that’s what it means now. AI is popular jargon now to mean anything that seems like it’s thinking, only serious people use AGI/ASI and even they often slip up and say AI sometimes. Tainted word.

I do think LLMs are/will be part of the tools needed for AGI, but alone, no, they aren’t processing what they’re being asked, so of course on anything more complex than their training they can go astray.

No Doubt also felt it was a great song, so much that their cover actually syncs well with the original. The sound is different, but it’s essentially the same.

New world trading amongst themselves, who dis?

It’s a big part of the plot and motivation of the main characters in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy (Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars). Basically, should we leave Mars (or any planet) as it is naturally, especially if we find life already there even at only microscopic levels? Or should we spread our own version of life from Earth (us along with other creatures and plants) and terraform where we can to maximize our own survival?
