Actually, my father in law just lost 3 months of work yesterday because he synced his documents folder that had an old copy of his book on OneDrive. None of the cached files had his new stuff. Maybe if OneDrive was made well, it would prevent data loss.
Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.
Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:
The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there’s way too much of the second group. We’re definitely getting what we pay for here.
Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.
Dopamine used to be considered the generic pleasure chemical, but I think it’s not anymore. Has more to do with reward pathways and learning, maybe?
Well that’s a fairly consistent pov. “God of the Gaps” is what it’s called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it’s probably not one of the worst ways to think
I wonder how well that percentage matches up with the percent of Americans who believe those sites, too. Would an LLM trained on the raw internet have a fairly proportional spectrum of beliefs to the American public?
It’s just weird that we get so much humanlike reasoning from them, anyways. The jury’s still out whether our brains learn in an autoregressive manner like that, too. I’m finding a lot of really cool results in my research by tinkering with the idea that a developing brain might just be constantly trying to guess what’s happening next.
Seems pretty plausible to me that passive learning in humans works similar to next-token prediction in transformers.
I’m gonna compete so hard now
You’re right, but only to the extent that the capital coming from your users is disproportionate. Some spaces have money coming from mostly those plebeian users.
I don’t really see how it isn’t antitrust stuff. Apple has used their market power to restrict competition at every possible opportunity.
What? First of all, Amtrak is often more comparable to air travel as far as alternatives go.
Second, those Amtrak delays are genuinely upwards of 5 hours. I had a trip leaving at 9 pm, and they had me waiting at that seedy train stop until 1am.
Not their fault though, it was Union Pacific’s fault.
This is like a CIA Pulitzer. Nintendo could not have made a better endorsement of Yuzu’s performance.
I think this is part of the reason that Google sucks nowadays. I genuinely don’t feel like I can trust it for finding products.
Nobody does wildlife conservation better than hunters and fisherfolk. Midwesterners will install hundreds of trail cams and kill invasive species on their property for free, in collaboration with local agencies. Controlled burns, population tracking+management, etc, all for free, out of love for the land and the wild creatures. And to make it easier to catch the stuff they want.
African wildlife preserves that are funded by hunting licenses, just like US land, are more successful because everyone involved hates poachers for their own reasons.
Yeah too much of this thread is so hypocritical, but either free to copy stuff should be free or it shouldn’t.
Sitting is boring, emails are boring, not owning capital is boring. Religion is not, plants are not, sunlight is not. Building things is cool when they’re yours or your friends’. Kids are fun.
I feel like some guys tend to be wired to really enjoy the grind, but you have to get regular little indications towards progress, and kinda let yourself get ‘addicted’.
