Episodes 1, 2, 3 I watched older and kinda had the same realisation.

On one side, you’ve got an Empire that brought peace, thriving economies, and a democratic government where everyone’s heard. But their morals are awful.

On the other side you’ve got people all for freedom, but take children, forbid them of family and sex, make them religious radicals, and support terrorists that have no real plans.

These options are shit and shittier, and people kill over them because they’ve drunk the kool-aid of one of them. It reminds me of current society. I like to think Luke’s inexplicable hermit life was because of that realisation.

Personally, I’d side with the Empire. But it’s not like I’d be happy about it. Just assume over generations it gets better, lest they lose control and that’s all they want.

But take the pros from both and you got Han. What a loveable character. Flaws are natural, not intentional. Vote Han.

Out of calories.

I just watched Buckaroo Bonzai having heard nothing about it. Fucking brilliant movie. I need to watch it again now that I know what I’m in for

We can, but it’s a lot of effort and time. Good AI requires a lot of patience and specificity.

I’ve sort of accepted the gimmick of LLMs being a bit of a plateau in training. It has always been that we teach AI to learn, but currently the public has been exposed to what they perceive to be magic and that’s “good enough”. Like, being wrong so often due to bad information, bad interpretation of information, and bias within information is acceptable now, apparently. So teaching to learn isn’t a high mainstream priority compared to throwing in mass information instead—it’s far less exciting working on infrastructure.

But here’s the cool thing about AI, it’s pretty fucking easy to learn. If you have patience and creativity to put toward training, you can do what you want. Give it a crack! But always be working on refining it. I’m sure out there right now someone’s been inspired enough to do what you’re talking about and in a few years of tears and insane electricity bills, there’ll be a viable model.

Yeah, get too far in or give it too much to start with, it can’t handle it. You can see this with visual generators. “Where’s the lollypop in its hand? Try again… Okay now you forgot about the top hat.”

Have to treat them like simple interns that will do anything to please rather than admit the task is too complex or they’ve forgotten what they were meant to do.

I use Claude for SQL and PowerQuery whenever I brain fart.

There’s more usefulness in reading its explanation than its code, though. It’s like bouncing ideas back off someone except you’re the one that can actually code them. Never bother copying it’s code unless it’s a really basic request that’s quicker to type than to code.

Bad quality and mass quantity in is obviously much quicker for LLMs and people that don’t understand the tech behind AI don’t understand this actually what’s going on, so it’s “magic”. A GPT is fundamentally quite simple and produces simple results full of potential issues, combine that with poor training quality and “gross”. There’s minimal check iterations it can do and how would it even do them when it’s knowledge base is more bullshit than it is quality?

Truth is it will be years before AI can reliably code. Training for that requires building a large knowledge base of refined working solutions covering many scenarios, with explanation, to train off. It’d take longer for AI to self-learn these too without significant input from the trainer.

Right now you can prompt the same thing six times and hope it manages a valid solution in one. Or just code it yourself.

It’s Facebook Messenger for me. It’s impossible to get everyone to shift. Many of us have had Signal for years.

Yes. They’re probably the two most popular brands for streamers and gamers.

I use Beyerdynamic gear for music production, so should give an idea on how serious their gaming stuff is. Sennheiser needs no introduction; a household name for most.

I’d recommend the DT-700 Pro X unless OP wants open back, then the 900 is most popular. 990s if sound clarity and flatter EQ is priority, but always found the trebles a bit too high.

I know, right?! Glad you agree.

“affirmed of the position that the term is used”

Yrp, you’re underscoring one of my tangent points. I couldn’t be bothered making more text in the one comment, but also figured if the comment was too long, it’d get a bunch of people jumping on me before they could manage to finish it. Alas, never avoidable. So, thanks 😁

Oh, but also just keep in mind, those misconceptions are in quotes for a reason.

And I see it kind of the same way as we saw OCD being diluted, just the 2020s version of that. Only the ignorant claimed to be or claimed to say one is OCD for normal behaviours to average people leaning more towward a perceived unusual particularity, such as ironing and folding clothes, for example

But again, I’m drunk.

As the years go on, I’m more affirmed of the position that the term ‘autism’ is used to explain every day behaviours, but by below average IQ people. They’re both cognitive spectrums, after all. But even experts of the former struggle to define it, just like the shortcomings of IQ and it’s…whatever it is.

It’s why more and more we hear, “Well I guess everyone’s a little on the spectrum.” So if it’s normal, not being so is not normal.

I think, “The average person isn’t below average” is synonymously more true—obviously—in context of cognitive application.

At this rate the modern, “Haha! NERD!!!” aka. “autistic” will be someone that folds washing or can’t socially explain the Dunning-Kruger effect to a person that thinks it’s European Ben & Jerry’s, entirely missing the critique on their education in politics being from X.

My drunken point is, who the fuck doesn’t like sorting wires? You ever dealt with those messy things?! Only an idiot wouldn’t.

Bring a journal with you—or something—and write down why you feel great and not anxious.

Read it when you’re feeling quiet and anxious.

Society can be a prison and social anxiety is the most common symptom of a captive. Everyone’s happy when they are themselves. You can have fun with alcohol, but you can have just as much fun without it. Nothing is different except that alcohol drops your guard and makes you care less about what others think.

I’ve been in my backyard with headphones, dancing alone like no one’s watching. I now do that all the time without booze, because clearly I want to do that to feel happy. Fuck anxiety. Don’t let it become depression 😘

Booze is good fun, but not if you’re prone to dependency on substances. I really like booze to heighten a mood a bit more, but there’s a point where I don’t like it anymore. I think there’s quite a few people that never recognise their personal boundary when it approaches and then it flies on by.

Like almost everything in life—substances, exercise, sun, food—moderation is key. Enjoy too much of a good thing and it’ll start harming you.

Remember the results are global. In my country it’s good value. There’s a lot of competition because it’s not lucrative enough for monopolising franchises anymore.

Do I still go? No, not really. Great big-screen movies aren’t as frequent as they once were and it doesn’t cost much to get a good display and sound in a lounge room. It doesn’t help that the “experience” of going isn’t there anymore. Cinemas give off strip mall vibes,

Nope.

Crew know a lot of override and emergency stuff for when systems go wrong and are always the reason planes don’t go down when they otherwise would’ve

Ask yo momma

There’s a few possibly contradicting points in that article which raise questions over the quality of the “over 100,000” quantity surveyed.

While I’m sure percentages would obviously be in decline, I suspect the 100,000 doest have a diversity that can represent national per capita stats.

Edit: Frequently I feel like “question everything unusual” doesn’t apply when it’s what Lemmy wants to hear. So, no doubt I am a Trump supporter 👍 Just in before that happens.

Edit Edit: And…sigh…_ “/s” on the Trump supporting. Because the same crowd needs “/s”.

Bold to live life thinking people are more stupid than you. I admire your confidence.

Oh, I’ve been bested again! Fool me thrice…

Ah, “ah” is a word and not an interjecting expression. Bested again! You’re on fire.
