Someone tipped me a tiny amount of some crypto coin on there, too. I did set up a wallet but then kinda forgot about it. Maybe I can pay off my place. Lol I remember it being one of the dumb ones, but tbh I thought they were all dumb. Still do, even if I did accidentally get rich lol.

Oh wow, just checked it. It was about 0.15 BCH and yeah, it has gone up considerably since I got it. It was worth maybe a buck or two, apparently it’s worth almost $80 USD today! That’s like a downpayment on a stick of RAM!

Over the lifetimes of the GPUs, many that benchmarked higher on nvidia early on swapped places as the AMD drivers matured.

In a central banking system, the central bank can create and destroy money from nothing. All banks can do it, though banks that aren’t the central bank need to hold on to a reserve portion which iirc is 10%, so they can loan out (effectively creating) 90% of deposits, which compounds (ie, if you deposit $100, the bank can lend out $90 of that, and if that borrower puts that $90 in their account, then the bank can loan another $81, meaning for the original deposit of $100, now $271 exists, and that $81 can be loaned against, too).

Congress can borrow money from the central bank or other banks. It’s also possible that they could seize the central bank and then just say they have the money and use that, though that’s how Germany ended up with stories of people using a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a coffee or diners paying when they ordered because prices would have gone up by the time they finished eating.

My guess is the loud bass vibrates dust particles that might clog up pores loose, or maybe helps with nutrient flow inside the plant. Like it’s affected by sound not music.

Though music might be generally better than most loud sounds because it’s one of the few cases where sound can be loud but isn’t also associated with something that adds more dust to the air, which might even give a net negative result.

You might get better results by going outside their channels and using legal options. Like not through the courts, but I think some jurisdictions have a law that you data must be deleted if a request is sent in writing or something like that. You might also be able to request they send you all the data they have (though this might cost money because they print it and mail it). I remember someone did that with their Tinder data for some article about how shitty Tinder is, though it depends on where you live.

I mean the masses are pretty fucking stupid and I don’t think following them is a good strategy for life.

Also, reddit was and somehow still is pretty popular and stack exchange is being killed by AI not discord, so that’s not really accurate anyways.

I wonder if that was actually just an attempt to sell more copies by describing the clearly better control scheme as scary as a challenge to anyone who thought it sounded ok. Like I don’t think it took me long to understand that the Halo control scheme was a game changer compared to the ones that preceded it (other than mouse and keyboard).

But because there wasn’t anything better to compare it to, it didn’t feel that bad.

Metroid Prime transcended its crappy controls. Like one of the worst control schemes but still one of my all time favorites.

Over time, the more common mistakes would be integrated into the tree. If some people feel indigestion as a headache, then there will be a probability that “headache” is caused by “indigestion” and questions to try to get the user to differentiate between the two.

And it would be a supplement to doctors rather than a replacement. Early questions could be handled by the users themselves, but at some point a nurse or doctor will take over and just use it as a diagnosis helper.

(Assuming you meant “you” instead of “I” for the 3rd word)

Yeah, it fits more with the older definition of AI from before NNs took the spotlight, when it meant more of a normal program that acted intelligent.

The learning part is being able to add new branches or leaf nodes to the tree, where the program isn’t learning on its own but is improving based on the expeirences of the users.

It could also be encoded as a series of probability multiplications instead of a tree, where it checks on whatever issue has the highest probability using the checks/questions that are cheapest to ask but afffect the probability the most.

Which could then be encoded as a NN because they are both just a series of matrix multiplications that a NN can approximate to an arbitrary %, based on the NN parameters. Also, NNs are proven to be able to approximate any continuous function that takes some number of dimensions of real numbers if given enough neurons and connections, which means they can exactly represent any disctete function (which a decision tree is).

It’s an open question still, but it’s possible that the equivalence goes both ways, as in a NN can represent a decision tree and a decision tree can approximate any NN. So the actual divide between the two is blurrier than you might expect.

Which is also why I’ll always be skeptical that NNs on their own can give rise to true artificial intelligence (though there’s also a part of me that wonders if we can be represented by a complex enough decision tree or series of matrix multiplications).

Or suits so good at flight camera people need to also be pro ski jump++ level to keep up with them. Better, actually, because they have to do it while keeping the athlete in frame on a camera.

Same with the idea of “true names” in general.

Water loves touching itself.

Yeah, if you turn off randomization based on the same prompts, you can still end up with variation based on differences in the prompt wording. And who knows what false correlations it overfitted to in the training data. Like one wording might bias it towards picking medhealth data while another wording might make it more likely to use 4chan data. Not sure if these models are trained on general internet data, but even if it’s just trained on medical encyclopedias, wording might bias it towards or away from cancers, or how severe it estimates it to be.

Funny because medical diagnosis is actually one of the areas where AI can be great, just not fucking LLMs. It’s not even really AI, but a decision tree that asks about what symptoms are present and missing, eventually getting to the point where a doctor or nurse is required to do evaluations or tests to keep moving through the flowchart until you get to a leaf, where you either have a diagnosis (and ways to confirm/rule it out) or something new (at least to the system).

Problem is that this kind of a system would need to be built up by doctors, though they could probably get a lot of it there using journaling and some algorithm to convert the journals into the decision tree.

The end result would be a system that can start triage at the user’s home to help determine urgency of a medical visit (like is this a get to the ER ASAP, go to a walk-in or family doctor in the next week, it’s ok if you can’t get an appointment for a month, or just stay at home monitoring it and seek medical help if x, y, z happens), then it can give that info to the HCW you work next with for them to recheck things non-doctors often get wrong and then pick up from there. Plus it helps doctors be more consistent, informs them when symptoms match things they aren’t familiar with, and makes it harder to excuse incompetence or apathy leading to a “just get rid of them” response.

Instead people are trying to make AI doctors out of word correlation engines, like the Hardee boys following a clue of random word associations (except reality isn’t written to make them right in the end because that’s funny like in South Park).

Hmm… SELECT * FROM Users WHERE SecurityResponse2 = “*Epstein”

Or just do what I did where I have one of those wall mounted plastic channels with some of the cables hidden in it but two other cables just go to the TV without being hidden because the channel got full and I decided that I was done managing my cables for now.

The lady that owned this place before me had one of those in wall cable runs on a wall I didn’t want to put my TV on. Not even sure how you get the cable out the other side, so I’ve left it there with the broken HDMI cable she left there, in case I want to run a different cable (so I can just attach it to the current one and pull it through). I probably should just patch the wall up though lol.

Isn’t masking tape the one that looks kinda like sticky yellow/beige paper? I think you’re right about tape being used, but it’s one of the clear ones.

I also counted at least three of the plastic ones that get nailed to the wall. One near your first picture, (can’t see it while I write this comment (really need to get a better client than Voyager) so I forget if it’s visible in the pic or if you need to check the big pic), on the cable from the PS4 to the TV, just after the bend to a diagonal, it’s one of the ones you clip the cable into after mounting. And two on the xbox psu cable, they are both the type that you nail over the wire and a curved bit of plastic holds the wire against the wall.

But those were the only ones I could see, plus even those ones don’t explain how it keeps the hard angles instead of the cable settling into a rounded shape. Guessing they intended to use the plastic ones but quickly realized it wouldn’t hold the shape they wanted without needing to put a ton of holes in the wall and switched to tape after that to solve both problems.

Edit: looking at it again, I don’t think the first one I mentioned is one of those clips anymore, so just the two on the xbox psu cable (should be obvious once you see them).

I live in a blue area but I never agreed that the week starts with Sunday. It’s clearly Monday and I dgaf who says otherwise.

That’s muscle memory, which is different because it doesn’t require reacting to different things during the process like cleaning a house would.
