No, the title is poorly worded. They are testing a technology that could redirect an asteroid, there isn’t one that is currently a concern.

Well then the average is just 1 isn’t it. It doesn’t make any sense to integer-ise your inputs but leave your output rounded.

Wikipedia does explain that Scots and English are sister languages, they both descend from Old English. Neither is a dialect.

Scots isn’t just an accent, it’s a language in its own right.

Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol

So actually having done some more reading this isn’t Scots - I’m fairly sure this is Scottish English which is somewhat a merging of Scots with English.

If he was my boss and he treated me like this I would absolutely hold it against him! Honestly I don’t care how much an employee fucks up, there is no excuse for abusing them.

Everyone gets angry, but this is not a constructive way to communicate what someone else needs to do. You can express all of this without belittling and swearing at someone. Being angry is fine, taking it out on other people is rude and unnecessary.

I sometimes have a weird issue with my laptop WiFi where it intermittently drops speed to 0 without disconnecting… Network troubleshooter always fixes it despite the fact I never can lol.

Series one maybe, two was a bit of a mess imo. I didn’t even understand what the stakes were until everything started turning into noodles.

How dare you assume that I’m not only full of myself but also uneducated! I’ll have you know I was schooled by the finest scholars of YouTube, and received several diplomas from both Udemy and Coursera. Frankly, I am above this debate and will be removing myself henceforth! Good day!

If you go far enough back we’re probably all entitled to the land. Let’s just do away with these “borders” and make the whole world into a theme park instead.

Assembly is a scrapheap with every sort of technology imaginable but it’s all broken. Could be an iron man suit, or you could just grab a length of rebar.

C&H is to sociology & psychology what XKCD is to science & technology.

Yes, we absolutely are different. Okay, maybe if you really boil down every little process our brains do there are similarities, we do also do pattern recognition, yes. But that isn’t all we do, or all ML systems do, either. I think you’re selling yourself short if you think you’re just recognising patterns!

The simplest difference between us and ML systems was pointed out by another commenter - they are trained on a dataset and then they remain static. We constantly re-evaluate old information, take in new information, and formulate new thoughts and change our minds.

We are able to perceive in ways that computers just can’t - they can’t understand what a smell is because they cannot smell, they can’t understand what it is to see in the way that we do because when they process images it is exactly the same to a computer as processing any other series of numbers. They do not have abstract concepts to relate recognised patterns to. Generative AI is unable to be truly creative in the way that we can, because it doesn’t have an imagination, it is replicating based on its inputs. Although, again, people on the internet love to say “that’s what artists do”, I think it’s pretty obvious that we wouldn’t have art in the way we do today if that was true… We would still be painting on the walls of caves.

Learnéd Machines

Machine Learning is such a better name. It describes what is happening - a machine is learning to do some specific thing. In this case to take text and output pictures… It’s limited by what it learned from. It learned from arrays of numbers representing colours of pixels, and from strings of text. It doesn’t know what that text means, it just knows how to translate it into arrays of numbers… There is no intelligence, only limited learning.

In general making classification more sensitive will increase your false positive rate, and making it less sensitive will increase your false negative rate. Neither is preferable! The question is whether you consider the cost of a false positive or negative to be higher… I think most would argue that a false negative is far worse if that allows a child/children to be harmed. Consequently, if you are erring on the side of convicting more people, you should also err on the side of “not maiming those people” because the chances are some of them are innocent.

I mean there’s no reason that a perfectionist would be irritated by an 89 degree angle, so I suspect this meme has had its way with you just as intended

Repetition legitimises
