I can’t tell if this is real life or sarcasm…

Did I really miss the memo on this one?

Neat. I didn’t know any services like this existed.

Should I be wary of using this while logged in to my Microsoft account?

Not in the slightest. I feel the same way.

Naw, it’s actually one Kinda Gallon; a Kinda Gallon of course referring to the average of the masses of a gallon of water, a gallon of beer, and a gallon of whiskey.

All, of course based on how many kerned 1s and 0s (alternatingly) you could fit printed in 12pt Times New Roman font within the thing’s length.

Also, you need to alternate rounding your error (i.e. quarter rounds down, but hotdog rounds up, etc)

Better yet, just use “cooz” as the “common unit”

Then it’s proportioned following fluid ounce measurements from there. e.g. “coc” (computer cup) is 16 coozes.

This is how I feel every time I see an overpowered “prototype” weapon in a video game that works better than the standard version.

Or pro numbers, depending on how you look at it.

…and so just to be clear, by pig, you mean a cop, yeah?

Yo, yeah, what’s up with the acorns?

I guess it’s being associated with the sounds of a gun shot?

How does this contrast with AntennaPod?

6 O’ Clock News by Merkules and Chris Webby always gets me with the horn and siren bit.

I appreciate that they’re trying to do something here, but this doesn’t feel like it’s aimed at stopping actually dangerous people. This feels like it’s aimed at beating on people who were already willing to deal with Maryland’s already more-strict-than-usual gun laws.

But I guess we’ll see how this pans out in a few years.

If only it’d be enforced as such

Not at all impressive, but to maximize interactions on a newborn thread:

It’s probably my PS3, which I would have gotten Christmas 2008 (or maybe it was 2009?). I recently started sailining the seas, and the most convenient way to watch those videos is to burn them to a disk, and so the PS3 is really just a glorified DVD player (can’t even be bothered to use it’s blue ray functionality)

I’m surprised at the amount of disagreement your comment is getting.

I don’t want to downplay Jackson’s displacement of American Indians, but there was one real FUBAR thing Jackson did that no one remembers:

He paid off the national debt.

Completely and entirely. The federal government existed debt free for some months (I forget exactly how long, I want to say it was a year or so before borrowing exceeded income).

On the face of it, this probably sounds like a good thing, but it hard crashed the economy. Obv wasn’t alive at the time, but it’s my understanding that it was the worst economic disaster until the Great Depression (and The Great Depression was only worse because the country and world were far more connected than the world of Jackson’s day).

That said, I hear inauguration party was a real rager.

Liquor Bottle by Herbal T. Has a nice faux-upbeat rhythm with jazzy kinda beats, but lyrics.are dark. Definitely helps me keep a sane face on the dark days:

Right.

I don’t mean to say that the mechanism by which human brains learn and the mechanism by which AI is trained are 1:1 directly comparable.

I do mean to say that the process looks pretty similar.

My knee jerk reaction is to analogize it as comparing a fish swimming to a bird flying. Sure there are some important distinctions (e.g. bird’s need to generate lift while fish can rely on buoyancy) but in general, the two do look pretty similar (i.e. they both take a fluid medium and push it to generate thrust).

And so with that, it feels fair to say that learning, that the storage and retrieval of memories/experiences, and that the way that that stored information shapes our sub-concious (and probably conscious too) reactions to the world around us seems largely comparable to the processes that underlie the training of “AI” and LLMs.

Thats not what I intended to communicate.

I feel the Turing machine portion is not particularly relevant to the larger point. Not to belabor the point, but to be as clear as I can be: I don’t think nor intend to communicate that humans operate in the same way as a computer; I don’t mean to say that we have a CPU that handles instructions in a (more or less) one at a time fashion with specific arguments that determine flow of data as a computer would do with Assembly Instructions. I agree that anyone arguing human brains work like that are missing a lot in both neuroscience and computer science.

The part I mean to focus on is the models of how AIs learn, specifically in neutral networks. There might be some merit in likening a cell to a transistor/switch/logic gate for some analogies, but for the purposes of talking about AI, I think comparing a brain cell to a node in a neutral network is most useful.

The individual nodes in neutral network will have minimal impact on converting input to output, yet each one does influence the processing of one to the other. Iand with the way we train AI, how each node tweaks the result will depend solely on the past I put that has been given to it.

In the same way, when met with a situation, our brains will process information in a comparable way: that is, any given input will be processed by a practically uncountable amount of neurons, each influencing our reactions (emotional, physical, chemical, etc) in miniscule ways based on how our past experiences have “treated” those individual neurons.

In that way, I would argue that the processes by which AI are trained and operated are comparable to that of the human mind, though they do seem to lack complexity.
