Thats kinda is how neural networks actually function. They don’t store massive amounts of data but, similar to us, tweak and adjust complex pathways of neurons that kinda just convert an input into a response.

When you ask an LLM a question you are actually getting a list of words based on probabilities, not anything the LLM had to “think about” before responding. During its training, different patterns fed to the AI tweak and balance how and when specific neurons should fire. One way to think about it is that “memories” or data is stored in how the paths are formed, not actually in the core of the neuron itself.

There are several hundred configurations of artificial neural networks that can mimic different functions of our brains, including memory.

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

Failure modes were not considered.

It’s one of the better bad designs, in some cases. Something, something self-regulating air flow. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

If there was any intelligence involved in our design, it was similar to a kid buying aftermarket parts for his car on eBay that then strapped them to one or two bits of ultra high grade equipment. The end result is something like a nice Supra that drives around town making weird farting noises.

I heard this was actually by design. Nostrils should naturally alternate maximum blowage capacity.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

Over the last few years, I have been thinking a ton about this style of article. They are riddled with phrases like “this shouldn’t be possible”, “breaks the laws of physics”, “it’s an impossible structure”, or something along those lines.

While these phrases are partially click-bait and partially awe inspiring, I am starting to think that the approach we are taking for estimating the massive scale of things in the universe may be extremely flawed.

I don’t claim to be a physicist or anything like that and am just your average internet idiot. However, it seems to me that working these problems in reverse might help. Our existing observations of the universe just seem to always put artificial caps on some problems, s’all.

So, let’s take the most massive black hole we know of and then multiply it’s mass by say, a few million times. Immediately, there will be a barrage of people who would post a million (probably legitimate) counter points as to why that wouldn’t even be possible to begin with.

It seems that given enough time, we eventually find some “impossible” things.

While it’s easy so get lost in constraints like the possible age of the universe, likely theories of early black hole formation, etc… It seems that Occam’s Razor might be getting lost somewhere. I mean, even with all of our existing data that says otherwise, there is that thing that was impossible. It’s right there! What would it take to form that thing even if the conditions seem absurd?

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

If it’s useful to you, that is great.

Will rustc not just overwrite the old binary? If you are just doing a cleanup task, that’s cool. If nuking the last binary is important, then just do it first:

rm ./code; rustc ./code.rs -o ./code; ./code -mah args

I admire the willingness to share your work, but this is easier to do with a disposable one-liner at the prompt that you can repeat with an up arrow and a carriage return, if needed.

Sure, this script would be perfect for something like a cron job, but that would raise quite a few more questions as to why you would complie on a fixed schedule.

I can think of a few edge-cases where this script would be useful, but it just seems like it adds extra steps where extra steps might not be needed.

A hypothesis is absolutely fair game. I am not going to spend the time to prove it right or wrong in this case, but it’s still 100% legit in my book.

(Just don’t go telling your child spawn that space pot… err… space teapots are definitely the reason that time travel could be possible.)

I hate myths, even ones with good intentions. Things like “Santa” are just teaching kids to be disappointed and that their parents are full of shit.

As a side comment, what in the actual fuck is the tooth fairy?

None of this stuff makes any sense to me, whatsoever.

Those are good printers. I put about 6 different resin types through them, and did get my optimal settings for fine detail because I was curious. It’s just pointless for what I do, s’all.

But yes, depending on what your goals are for printing, there is a fuck ton of room for speed improvements.

I have a pair of Mono 6ks’s and yeah. Their settings are even across most of the resins in their slicer. I use the same settings between ABS, nylons and clear resins but just for functional prints. (Precision only matters in key spots for me.)

I will say this though: Their base settings work for me, which is super different than what I was used to with FDM.

Lift speed is determined more by the plastic sheet type, and “8k resin” may or may not be a little thinner and that is generally the only difference, if at all. (+8k resin is almost always marketing wank.) nFEP is the most common way to go for the detail/speed tradeoff.

(The Blu nylons are thick as hell though, so the lift speed/dwell can actually matter.)

It’s generic for thicker resins. A higher lift and a short pause is normal so that resin can flow back under the print where it just separated.

Just tune it down for your particular resins.

As far as my proof on link-boy is that his history kinda proves that he doesn’t research shit. His go-to method seems to be find-link-vomit-link. There is no fucking way he would have time to dig into that stuff based on volume alone. Is that “proof”? No. It’s a damn good assumption as I also could shit out a few dozen links after one Google search, too.

If he does “do his research” and happens to have a list of links at the ready, that is just weird or it’s someone with a motive other than showing how smart they are.

By definition, you are correct on some points, btw. Dissent is dissent. However, dissent with bad information is just poor form. Endlessly shitposting like OP does is hardly quality dissent: OP just pushes narratives with cartoons and it reads like a fucking state media source. You can find the same style of shit all over right-wing media sources as well: Repeat the same basic points ad-nauseum.

As far as link-boy is concerned, I suppose he can dissent all over the place as much as he wants as well. It’s doesn’t change his history of link-flooding.

Also, “despite increasingly popular opinion” is supposed to convince me of something based on the rumored opinions of what? Your own social bubble? Really?

How the fuck you wrapped your last sentence in is beyond me, but anywho…

Dissent is not spouting off Russian propaganda verbatim. You know, like quoting every single line vomited out by every Russian state media source. (OP)

Dissent is also not searching for every internet based opinion piece with a flashy headline that aligns with a specific view. I could find a hundred more that align with my views, as an example. (re: link-boy in this thread.)

We all should know that Russia invading Ukraine “because Nazis” is complete bullshit. If you didn’t notice Russian media and government officials repeating that justification is just that: repeating things enough so people begin to believe it. (That is easy with state controlled media, btw.)

What we have is a failed case of seeing the forest through the trees and what Russian Putin’s goals have obviously been for years now: Rebuilding the USSR. (Nevermind that Crimea was not ethnic Russian until the local population just disappeared, somehow.)

Dissent is actually showing, to the best of ones abilities, real cause for action. A person could actually read all of the source articles they post, compare figures and assemble something that might be worth something in an argument. This takes a fuck ton of work, actually. All sources need to be considered and not just select articles that are vomited out in these kinds of posts.

What link-boy is doing is just flooding threads with data, regardless of it is correct or not. It’s not proving any points and likely just posted to flash out headlines, which people notoriously take at face value.

Then we need to loop back to the “reputable sources” bit. Nearly anyone can submit articles to these places with little review because “content”. To properly use these articles, you have to dig. You need to understand the authors, the sources and the motivation. Again, link-boy is likely not doing this. If he is, it’s still shitty referencing.

Above all else, this conflict has proven that Russia is a paper tiger, mainly by showing their wonder-weapons are crap. This is not actually about the tech itself: It’s shown how Russian government has overstated just about everything about their capabilities. Not only did the world start to believe their own propaganda, Russians drank their own cool aid and thought they could just roll Ukraine in a couple of days, with or without western interference.

We don’t need shit-memes or walls of old links to show how Russia has manipulated the narrative over the last few years. All we need to do is watch how poorly they are performing on the battlefield against a country a tenth their size. We can watch Russian media and how they continue to posture and threaten with nukes. (That is a stupid play, and they know it.)

What’s even funnier, is that Lukashenko actually dumped out a couple weeks ago that Ukraine was already “denazified”. Oops. If that is actually “true”, why hasn’t this “special military operation” been called off? Why is Russia at a full wartime economy now for what is likely illegal to call a “war”?

Fucking grow up, is my point. You want to get all script-flippy about “sPeAkiG diSsEnT” when the people “dissenting” don’t know what the actual fuck they are posting with.

Hey. OP. …

Mor links plz.

Edit: Geez. You really do like to find any link on the internets that justifies anything you want to believe, don’t ya?
