It is my understanding that the fundamental architecture (the general purpose transformer) is identical between the “AI” used by Black Rock and by OpenAI

If you have some evidence to the contrary I’d always appreciate the chance to learn.

But the transformer based architecture is fundamentally flawed: it will always hallucinate.

The “AI” being used by big corporations is still fundamentally an LLM and has all the flaws of an LLM. It’s not a hot wheels car vs a tank, it’s a hot wheels car vs a $2 billion RC car

I’m having an aneurysm trying to understand what’s being said here, can anyone explain?

Gotcha. The other issue with microwaving it on high settings is they burst releasing a dust of silica and indicating color, neither of which is good to breathe. If you’ve got good ppe and ventilate you should be fine.

It will kill the color changing effect tho

The video specifically calls that method out as dangerous and toxic.

Microwave is fastest but you’ve gotta do it at an extremely low power setting and he recommends not using it with a food microwave

It’s in the linked video

Oh yeah it’s not like it stopped him in reality but it burned his most popular acct

ensure you don’t

What’s crazy is the original poster was something of a superuser on reddit. First to 1 million karma iirc

And he lost basically all popularity after that comment.

In retrospect: it was pedantic but so mundane. He was just being a prototypical redditor

Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.”

Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.

As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.

If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.

So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.

Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t.

It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

… It’s been a decade since Unidan made that comment

I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.

No I’m just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird

What a mediocre story

And I don’t see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it’s that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture’s food and bend it to their preferences.

But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.

That’s Pizza Americana though

… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?

Americans in Massachusetts are able to install solar panels and run their house.

It’s not like a cloudy day means 0% generation

Gmail account is firstname.lastname and neither of them are rare.

Even though I don’t use Gmail anymore I keep that account alive.

Vista was a nightmare 8 was awful

Windows has consistently released 1 good, 1 bad for a long time now.

The thing is I think win11 is terminal. It’s just forever windows because they can milk it for ads without needing to iterate.

As an off instance user: great decisions! Strong migration makes for strong communities.

It’s the inverse that is true actually -

As Lemmy becomes more popular it will drift from being so tech focused.

Many popular sites gradually drifted off of tech focus as their user base grew. R*ddit is a prime example of how a very nerdy niche site grew and shifted to be popular (sorta) organically.

I do think that for all the hullabaloo about Ellen Pao and banning a bunch of subreddits - that actually did more to open the place up to users who were otherwise driven away by /r/FatPeopleHate and /r/Jailbait being on the front page all the time.

If Lemmy were to change to attract users it would likely be from increased defederation with instances that are less palatable to mainstream society.

Also Italian.

… Not that there’s much of an Italosphere but “Americano” vuol dire “Person from the United States”
