russia is such a deeply unserious country

I’m not trained in formal computer science, so I’m unable to evaluate the quality of this paper’s argument, but there’s a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it’s an NP-hard problem). That doesn’t prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.

Reclaiming AI as a theoretical tool for cognitive science

The one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don’t trust them at all for low level languages.

The wealthy passengers shouldn’t have depended on the crew to rescue them; that’s socialism. They should just pull themselves out of the water by their bootstraps.

Who’s said bye to DVDs?

Because it reports sources known to be unreliable (like Jerusalem Post and EuroNews) as Highly Trustworthy

As an American I’m newly flabbergasted by this every damn day

They probably did think of it but then rejected it when they found out how progressive Jesus is

without compromising on visual fidelity

But it does compromise. Netflix has the worst banding issues in low-light scenes of any of the streaming services I’ve tried. It’s hard not to notice and it’s very annoying.

First useful thing Elon ever did

Yeah Startpage and Ecosia too

“Aren’t I”, as in “I’m still going with you, aren’t I?”, which, when uncontracted, becomes “are I not?” It should be “ain’t I” since “ain’t” is a proper contraction for “amn’t”, but there’s been an irrational suppression of “ain’t”.

rossia is dumb

That is the neutral answer. It’s objectively and demonstrably correct.

bad bot

The “: Moscow” attribution tells you everything about how useless this headline is

to join lemmy.ml you need to copy and paste a paragraph from a communist text, so, no

Call for russia to stop its genocide instead of asking Ukrainians to endure torture and ethnic cleansing for the sake of your “peace”, fucking privileged assholes

Fake news sources go in the Onion community

it’s 100% about moral arguments of right and wrong. just because the US’s wars are evil 99% of the time isn’t a reason to reject the one good one
