I’m mostly a “wikipedia reader” type of person, so I don’t have good pop sci sources to recommend… Sorry!

Nice! Thank you so much!

For me to be a better friend by better understanding his new limitations…

He already has a good support network, they organised a fundraiser to get him an electric wheelchair, which is awesome! But at first I didn’t understand why it was helping him, because I don’t know enough about the condition. 🫣

I have a friend who’s now living with ME. Any resources for the general public to better understand the condition?

Time to inject noise in this database and put H signs everywhere at random

How much can I make with a 10 yo account with average karma? Where can i sell it?

I’d like all ai service to publish the energy used in training the model and performing inference.

“Queries uses an average of X kWh of power. A model training run requires X MWh, and the development of this model over the years required X TWh of power.”

Then we could judge companies by that metric. Off course, rich people would look for the most power-draining model for the sake of it.

Ultimate vehicle.

Hehe, I’ll have a read on that thread.

Yeah, that makes sense. It’s not so much that they are labeled weird, but that they are shocked thinking they were not…

Yup. A lot of feelings are unnecessary yet are there anyway for us to deal with them.

Nice, that makes sense. I’ll keep using weird.

Wow… It’s not easy trying not to misunderstand sentences…

it seems like it’s not the worst way to write text if I don’t want to allow an ai to parse my messages…

Oh… All this time i thought they were talking about “the internet”, trying to ask me the password to access my ISP’s IP routing tables! 😯

It makes so much sense now that i think about it… They were confused when i replied that i didn’t know what was the password to the internet!

As non-US person, we watched the Superbowl in anguish, fearing a win for SF would directly lead to a Trump win and a destruction of the current world order!

Here we go again… The web, which is what most people think about when saying “internet”, is an European invention.

So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that “web 2.0” was invented by American companies.

Internet is 70% American?

Bunyan sounds the same as some old French Canadian swear word, but is written differently. I think the real spelling would be something like “bon yenne”, and also resembles a French Canadian folklore named “Bon Jean”.

I don’t know a lot about DNA, but i know about facial recognition.

Facial recognition is highly inaccurate. It would be easy for people from the same country to “match” at facial recognition despite being totally unrelated.

If “face generation from DNA” is only roughly accurate (ex: nose size or skin tone), then anybody from the same ethnic origin could be a match. Basically, the more you look like the “average person”, the more likely you would fit the generated face.

Doesn’t it sound a lot like technology-enabled profiling?

I usually say “Yeah, i used to like IPA but i got bored of it. Do you have anything else than hoppy beers?” Then, they come up with the sours…
