Hijacking this with my mini rant: GOOGLE if you provide me with three possible routes to my destination and I specifically select one… DON’T FUCKING CHANGE IT MID-DRIVE GODDAMMIT!
Can we get a term like this for AI. I’m so goddam sick and tired of everything being called AI that clearly and obviously isn’t.
We developed a system that looks for red and when it sees red it KNoOOoOAwwWWss that it is seeing red and does stuff. It’s a super effective, ground breaking, world shaping, paradigm changing AI system. Give us money please.
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo....
It’s super fun to see what kind of ridiculous combinations of powers and weapons you can create when you aren’t worried about money or resources in any way shape or form.
I had a Hermes Build for Max speed that did bonus damage based on speed bonuses, Ares for Blade rift when dodging, and some Athena for some invulnerability.
Sprinting around the levels like the flash and absolutely nuking everybody with blade rifts is just too much fun.
I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort....
My sister uses it for both anxiety and sleep. It works wonders for her. I have tried every type of CBD supplement, oil, edible, shampoo, clothes, etc I’ve been able to get my hands on and have seen ZERO effect on me. Your mileage may vary.
From what I’ve read in different papers and talks on the subject the most concise definition for what a real AI would be is as follows.
The system must be self aware, understand it’s place in an environment, and be able to Reason, Adapt, and work towards internal goals.
If you ever want a good example of a failure of adaptability try playing chess with Chat GPT. Chat GPT is INCREDIBLE at what it does and is like nothing else we have ever seen.sometimes it seems downright spooky how good it can be at responding to normal requests and conversations. However It knows what chess is because it’s been trained on text that has the rules and the names of all the pieces. But because it is just a LLM which is effectively a word probability generator it can’t REASON what the game actually is or remember what pieces have been played or removed.
It’s like asking the deep blue chess computer to hold a conversation with you. It’s not happening.
Right now (to the best of my knowledge) there are no actual AI systems. Everything that is being called AI is just complex programs that are following EXACTLY what the programming has set in stone with no deviations.
The YouTube algorithm interestingly might be the one exception. If the rumors are to be. Believed it has grown so complex that YouTube itself doesn’t actually know how it works.
LLM’s are a rather fascinating subject with lots of high level stuff that can be very daunting to understand. My laymans understanding is that generative systems such as Chat GPT are almost entirely probability based.
If I gave a LLM the following prompt: “in 2023 the current president of the United states is _____” fill in the blank. It would compare the prompt to its database of text and return Joe Biden with a 95% probability, Donald Trump with 4%, and some other random stuff for the remaining 1. It doesn’t actually KNOW what the prompt is and it doesn’t reason the answer. It’s only comparing what is in its database vs what’s been given to it.
This is why the larger the database it has the better answers it can return. True AI would be able to give you responses to anything having only been fed the contents of the dictionary. It could then reason what each word means and creatively form them into legible responses.
If you are interested in a very cool semi-interactive explanation of how generative systems work check out this website. I found it very fascinating.
I’ve got an Axolotl. Not sure where that falls on the spectrum of exotic pets.
They are pretty easy to get ahold of and apart from a chiller to keep the water at an appropriately cool temperature they are easy to take care of. That being said, every person that has come over to our place reacts with something along the lines of “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!”.
All I really need to do for it is top off the water every day or two and once a month or so replace 20% of the water with fresh water. It’s not even that critical to do that much water maintenance I just like to go for as clear water as possible.
Feeding is easy as well. Optimal feeding is once every 2-3 days but they can survive MUCH longer without food. Studies have shown up to 3 weeks is doable. This means if we are going to go on vacation for a week or a bit longer I just feed him once before we leave and then don’t worry about it.
For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(...
I had just sold a car and was flush with cash so before going to buy my new one I bought every single pillow I could find in every home goods store near me and several from online. I then spent the next month studiously comparing pillows to find the right one for me.
The final two came down to a $15 pillow and a $190 pillow.
After deciding all the other pillows got returned and then went and got my new car.
In things as subjective as a pillow high quality is rather Nebulous.
For something like a woodworking tool high quality often matters far more.
The worst life pro tip I’ve ever received? Listen to the experts, they have made it their job to know the best things and you can’t go wrong with what they say.
In a similar vein, Tweezerman tweezers. There is absolutely none better than those. Razor fine edge that I’m convinced could pluck an electron off an atom.
And the second that it is economically viable the companies will be dumping their bricklayers/carpenters down the drain and replacing them with computer controlled construction methods.
Oh I’m absolutely certain they have gotten worse over time. We have had the same setup for YEARS with no changes and it’s been getting worse.
We would say “Alexa, praise the sun” which is our phase for all lights, maximum brightness and at the beginning it worked one hundred percent of the time.
Now it’s a 3 way roll of the dice whether it works, gives us a description of what the sun is, or plays a song called “Raise The Son”.
We used to have an Orinoco basin themed tank, Corydoras Delphax, Otto’s, Cardinal tetras, Farlowella acus (twig catfish) and a couple of huge Altum Angelfish.
We had some luck with the Cory’s but just like you the Otto’s proved stubborn.
I left reddit for all the obvious reasons but yeah… Lemmy is significantly lacking in the niche community engagement. Reddit was great for that and getting a REAL answer to something you were googling.
Aquariums, miniature painting, hell even on LemmyNSFW 90% of the posts are all posted by the same three bots that somehow always end up on the “Everything - Top/Active” page.
You found that outfit and you didn’t immediately put it on astarion? I didn’t know it was possible to play BG3 incorrectly.

This scene cracked me up as well. Such a dumb look on their faces. I love watching the characters in the background during cutscenes. They are either perfectly matching your expressions exactly at the exact time or just completely brain dead thousand yard stare into the distance.

I took the first step on the road to recovery by putting most my domains up for sale. At $5000 they are very reasonably priced and someone is going to pick them up very soon… Right?
Reverse image searching this for… reasons, shows an original post date of a Facebook screenshot 2 years ago.

Now is a good time to flood Wikipedia with donations. For the first time in my life, i have just donated to them and will do so again. You can do it too for a minimum of €2, no requirement for recurring donations or any nonsense.
It feels like goalpost moving has become a national past time for most places.
The thing I currently struggle with, but haven’t found an answer to, is deciding where the balance lies between affordable services and content creators earning an appropriate living.
I absolutely love Spotify. My current job has me listening to music for nearly 11 hours a day not including what gets played at home. Leaving aside the issue of discoverability, if I had to buy all the different albums I listen to from all the different artists I listen to my music budget would be a significant percentage of my yearly income.
I am keenly aware that Spotify does not pay the musicians well. The current compromise that I have is I buy albums or merch from the artists that I listen to the most or up and comings I want to support. Not perfect but it works right now.

Has anyone here used CBD products for anxiety? Do they actually work or is it just a placebo?
I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort....
