This is real! I’m one of these people and my family is working on assembling the documentation!

They’re union. It helps a lot.

Dude was paid by the word and it shows. On the bright side, the book is excellent- it’s just a bit padded. I feel like it’s one of the few books where I feel like an abridged version might be an improvement.

I have audio processing issues that make me hear everything at equal levels of attention.

This means I can’t be in an echoey restaurant without earplugs, but it did help me become a professional orchestra conductor and everyone tells me it’s surprising how well I can notice tiny details from individual players. Go figure.

Good pick, IMO

We’re doing our best to shut down wherever they pop up but they REALLY want our electricity, land, and water.

They’re trying to build several right now near my home in Southeast Michigan. So now you know where.

I’m sure they’ll get around to it in six, maybe seven years.

or just break em :p

Which Lemmy instance? It’s federated and each server is different. It’s like asking “what will be the top post on the forum” or “what’ll be pinned on Discord”.

I got some Etymotic reusable plugs and I never leave home without 'em. They come with a little carrying case, and they don’t affect the frequency response of my hearing (just the overall decibel level!)

Yeah, my comeback to this is usually “and some of us have plenty to spare”

I’m not concerned about her, I’m concerned for her.

Hey buddy, they admitted they didn’t know what the star even was.

it turns out if you are all able to stop work at once (and discourage scabs from crossing your picket line) you have power, whether or not you’re an employee on paper.

You can assign each rational number a single unique integer though if you use a simple algorithm. So the 1:1 correspondence holds up (though both are still infinite)

For every integer, there are an infinite number of real numbers until the next integer. So you can’t make a 1:1 correspondence. They’re both infinite, but this shows that the reals are more infinite. (and yeah, as other people mentioned, it’s the 1:1 correspondence, countability, that matters more than the infinite quantity of the Real numbers)

I think he knows what he’s doing, since all he’s really doing is stuffing his pockets. Doesn’t take a genius to cartoonishly sell out the entire planet’s economy for personal gain. I’m sure if he manages to crash the dollar he’ll be thrilled to roll out Trumpcoin as the alternative and then rugpull the world a second time.

This method is definitely a great way to achieve some degree of explainability for images, but it is based on the assumption that nearby pixels will have correllated meanings. When AI is making connections between far-away features, or worse, in a feature space that cannot be readily visualized like images can, it can be very hard to decouple the nonlinear outputs into singular linear features. While AI explainability has come a long way in the last few years, the decision-making processes of AI are so different from human thought that even when it can “show its work” by showing which neurons contributed to the final result, it doesn’t necessarily make any intuitive sense to us.

For example, an image-identification AI might identify subtle lens blur data to determine the brand of camera that took a photograph, and then use that data to make an educated guess about which country the image was taken in. It’s a valid path of reasoning. But it would take a lot of effort for a human analyst to notice that the AI is using this process to slightly improve its chances of getting the image identification correct, and there are millions of such derived features that combine in unexpected ways, some logical and some irrationally overfitting to the training data.

And Humble Bundle ran out of keys to sell. And GOG’s download servers broke too.
