why don’t they program them

AI models aren’t programmed traditionally. They’re generated by machine learning. Essentially the model is given test prompts and then given a rating on its answer. The model’s calculations will be adjusted so that its answer to the test prompt will be closer to the expected answer. You repeat this a few billion times with a few billion prompts and you will have generated a model that scores very high on all test prompts.

Then someone asks it how many R’s are in strawberry and it gets the wrong answer. The only way to fix this is to add that as a test prompt and redo the machine learning process which takes an enormous amount of time and computational power each time it’s done, only for people to once again quickly find some kind of prompt it doesn’t answer well.

There are already AI models that play chess incredibly well. Using machine learning to solve a complexe problem isn’t the issue. It’s trying to get one model to be good at absolutely everything.

You should get a wall mount for the TV. Lot of people in the room? Need more space? Voila! Pushes right into the wall!

In computer class I searched “gay porn” on my friends computer when while he was gone. The teacher saw me do it and sent me to the principal’s office where I got in trouble for being gay. When I got home my parents were also upset. Apparently the principal called them to tell them I was gay! I was really confused as to why being gay seemed to be the issue and not searching for porn on a school computer and that’s how I learned about homophobia!

It’s also incorrect! The dish is omelette au fromage. That’s because it’s an omelette with cheese and not of cheese.

What’s stopping pornhub from having a similar strategy in France? Continue to accept French IPs for the international version, paywall the French version.

Pornhub is ideologically against having to collect and verify data on their users for the government. They block traffic in all areas that pass these kinds of laws as a protest.

How could they not have English food like pizza, curry, or kebabs??

The flag on the far left is labeled as “Germany” but it doesn’t look like any German flag I recognize.

People going to be living in an Amish Paradise pretty soon!

At 4:30 in the morning I’m milkin’ cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows…fool
And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone

Gambling is typically regulated so in many areas a verbal bet would be considered unlicensed gambling and illegal. Courts won’t enforce illegal agreements.

While it wasn’t unintended, the Atari 2600 only had 39 bits of memory to draw 160x192 graphics to the screen. It accomplished that task using the fact that CRT screens displayed images by rapidly moving a beam of light across the screen. Knowing the beam could only be in one spot at any time, the Atari system held just enough space in memory to draw 20 pixels. As the beam moved across the screen, the system updated the colour of the next pixels immediately before they needed to be drawn in a method that became known as Racing the beam.

It was built that way because having enough memory to draw the entire screen at once would have made the Atari 2600 prohibitively expensive for consumers.

It is true. Math.min() returns positive Infinity when called with no arguments and Math.max() returns Negative Infinity when called with no arguments. Positive Infinity > Negative Infinity.

Math.min() works something like this

def min(numbers):
  r = Infinity
  for n in numbers:
    if n < r:
      r = n
  return r

I’m guessing there’s a reason they wanted min() to be able to be called without any arguments but I’m sure it isn’t a good one.

depending on pronunciation and tone of voice.

These are all great questions for a lawyer and the answer is probably “it depends”. My understanding is that, if something has multiple licences, you need to follow all of them simultaneously. You can’t choose unless it’s clear that the author allows the choice by using “or” when listing the licences.

The best thing to do when something isn’t clearly licenced is to reach out to the author and ask them to clarify it. If they don’t write back then you shouldn’t do anything with the source material.

A guy at my work got promoted to manager and celebrated by tattooing the company logo onto his chest. Pretty much everyone had to hold back laughing when he showed it off.

and then I sign it “Movie Guy”

is Movie Guy your pseudonym?

no it’s just a name I use instead of my real name

I love Home Movies

The ethics violation is definitely bad, but their results are also concerning. They claim their AI accounts were 6 times more likely to persuade people into changing their minds compared to a real life person. AI has become an overpowered tool in the hands of propagandists.

I honestly want to know what the game plan is for the 100 men. Like do you plan on knocking out the 400 pound animal with a spin kick to the head or what?

Definitely! But as another comment said, there’s no guarantee a teacher will actually reframe the problem into something interesting. They can just give you work sheets and have you do them over and over and over. Math then becomes a topic that relies heavily on the teacher’s ability to engage with students compared to other subjects.
