@MJPiazza2 Can't really tell it could also be cow or fools parsley(this one is still poisonous just not as much). Hemlock usually has a purple stem but hard to tell here.

Fun fact! Those flowers are actually poison hemlock, the most poisonous plant in North America. They didn't want your flowers because you were trying to kill them.

@CovfefeAnon Do we get as a world? any time to talk about it. Then the number of people pressing blue should decrease as red is the optima option.

This twitter classic "red button / blue button" [everyone who picks blue dies unless more than 50% do; everyone who picks red lives] question is cursed but we've learned a lot about people since it went around on the timeline the last time First to get this out of the way - there is zero actual reason to push blue - none - there is no "payoff to cooperation" being modeled since the payoff on offer - not dying - is the same for both choices. The only rational reason to pick blue is that you *hope* less than 50% of people pick blue so you can end your life and escape the person who is putting you in contrived hypotheticals for his own amusement With that out of the way - what we've learned in the 2 years since this hit the timeline the first time is that many, many people are simply next token predictors and when they see this example they say they will pick the "cooperative" choice (which isn't actually that!) We have also learned that when confronted with the stupidity of this position, they will simply costlessly double down and "argue" about it forever rather than admit error Really, the question is extremely revealing

Gamer’s Nexus calls out Threat Interactive’s illegal DMCA abuse. How is Threat Interactive’s channel not terminated after 7 false copyright strikes?

This might be the funniest and most obvious and straight-up bad faith lie about justifying repeated DMCA abuse I've ever seen. Narcissists like this are experts at pouring every ounce of confidence and authority into whatever they say even when it's obviously incorrect or a lie.

@devdiary0x @wholyv I'd be marginally faster but for modern machine learning the instantiation on your cpu is not the bottleneck it's the massive amount of stuff running on the GPU or in the library.

@wholyv How will it help tho? I'm no expert, but you just load a dataset via Pandas(C++), and design models with Pytorch/Tensorflow(C++). Python makes life easy. You don't save much compute by switching over to C++, most of the heavy work is done by C++. Python just gives nice syntax

What if C++ was used for machine learning instead of Python. given C++ evolved to allow that. I wonder how faster, our AI models would be these days.

@vtlynch1 @Storyboii @SkyeSharkie Every argument about water usage is something like did you know it takes 100 litres to make x and then that sounds like a lot to people compared to drinking and who don't realise that water is not literally annihilated and everything else uses the same amount or more.

If you ACTUALLY care about this then you would have done the research on how much water data centers use compared to society at large. We don’t need media headlines. We don’t need “studies” that make outrageous claims. All we need is the readily available factual data about how much water. The fact is data centers use far less water than bathing. The fact is when you consider the scale of AI use, it actually uses relatively little water compared to other commercial or industrial activities. The fact is that by equal comparison , there is no reason to justify the public outrage about datacenters vs 100s of other ways we use and waste water.

One of the most ridiculous arguments about AI video gen, that really holds no water, is the compute usage. The compute required to make this scene with AI is actually much, much less than the compute required to do it with traditional CGI. The training hours plus the compute on the final generation are much lower than all the rendering compute combined with all the compute needed to build the scene, model the assets, animate, etc.

@ItakGol With grok it seems to be a coin flip whether it gets it right or not. Which underscores a big problem with AI, the seed has way too big of an impact on the result. Might be on the consumer ones more though and they just have it set with a higher temperature.

@nypost Numbers 13:33 is about Isrealite scout lying about seeing giants, see numbers 13:32. A cubit is 45cm/18in. So 4-5 is 6 foot to 7 foot 6 not 8.

@cb_doge Datacenters generate a lot of heat, it's hard to shed heat in space, won't that be a major problem.

BREAKING: SpaceX wants to turn Space into the World’s Biggest AI Data Center. • SpaceX is seeking approval to launch and operate up to one million satellites designed to function as orbital data centers. • These satellites would provide massive computing power to support advanced artificial intelligence and data processing. • The system would rely on near constant solar energy in space, reducing operating costs and environmental impact compared to Earth based data centers. • Satellites would operate between 500 km and 2,000 km in altitude, across multiple orbital shells, to handle global demand. • High speed laser links would connect the satellites with each other and with the Starlink network, enabling petabit level data transfer. • Data would ultimately be routed to authorized ground stations around the world. • SpaceX says demand from AI, machine learning, and edge computing is growing faster than terrestrial infrastructure can handle. The company frames this as a major step toward a future where humanity becomes a multi planetary civilization powered by space based infrastructure.

Someone created a social media platform for AI agents and now they are literally talking about humans between themselves One agent has even proposed creating an “AI only language” that allows them to communicate with each other without human intervention Feels like the closest we have gotten in terms of proving consciousness in AI agents on a mass scale This year is going to be absolutely wild

@AntifaCostanza People are really saying Ryse looks better or equal when everything is way lower poly and not lit anywhere near as nicely. The third person character does look good though.
