It says environmental in the title?

I can’t tell from this summary if the article is sane or bat shit, but usually the bot is good

Edit: the article is good, the summary is bad

That’s because it’s never truly been about the rights of the fetus, it’s always been about controlling women

Did you try su -l?

Depends on the plastic, but if you’re using an extension cord or power strip that smells like burning plastic, that’s also a fire hazard. I know I wouldn’t be continuing to use it

Both. Everyone is afraid of AI taking over but it’s just a tool. Human augmentation is way more likely to lead there. But in the mean time, Stephen Hawking lived quite a while only being able to speak with augmentations. Just like any other technology, it will be at the very least researched in fear that someone else will first. So might as well embrace it

Ignoring, thank you!

Ubuntu. Package organization is annoying, versions are out of date, managing multiple versions isn’t consistent, and distro upgrades always have unintended consequences. Often ones that aren’t easy to figure out. Their reputation for being beginner friendly should have died around a decade ago.

Closer, and I hope I’m not just being a pedantic jerk, but there is no code being generated either. To use correct terminology, the weights of the nodes are what change. Nodes are roughly thought of like neurons in a brain, and weights are roughly thought of as the strength of the connection between one neuron (node) and another. Real brains are way more complex.

The weights of the nodes do contain information, but it’s not human readable at all, we actually don’t have a way of understanding how they work, just a rough idea of why. Sort of like how your brain contains the information on how to catch a ball, it performs the equivalent of calculus to do so, but there is no calculator in your brain doing the math to catch the ball. Actually, maybe a better analogy, if you have a bouncy ball, it contains the required information to bounce if you drop it, but we can’t read that information, we can only model it.

But I’m just rambling at this point, your point is clear and valid lol

Sort of, but there’s no database at all, just a bunch of numbers and math. It’s almost like controlled evolution, breeding plants to select desirable traits. Except that’s another field of computing called genetic algorithms. Neural networks are a pile of math trained on data. You give it a cat, it says whether or not it thinks it’s a cat, and you tell it if it’s right or wrong, then it adjusts it’s math accordingly. Do this with a million cats and not cats and it becomes better than humans at identifying cats. LLMs are just that but with word predictions and trillions of words for training. It’s impressive in its own right

I don’t disagree, but I do want to point out your understanding of how chatgpt works is flawed. There is no database or query going on. It’s a giant neural network model that was trained on all that data you mentioned. The model is effectively predicting what the next word should be based on the previous words, nothing else. Each individual word is selected this way.

It doesn’t change any of your arguments or conclusions, but I wanted to point it out, because if someone wrote a chat not like chatgpt using databases and programming I would be floored and incredibly impressed

I meant it as in Democrats are the target audience

CNN is pretty known for crappy polls and manipulating data. They’re practically just Fox news for Democrats

Yes that’s how statistics work. If the statistics say 77% of people won’t die if they walk more than 4000 steps, but you see someone who walked 4000 steps who died, that means the study is fake. (Made up numbers to illustrate why anecdotes are useless unless claims are for 100%)

Second on kobo, sure the OS is proprietary, but it’s good enough that I forget. And as the previous comment said, you can install third party reader software. I like koreader, it pretty much replaces the entire UI of the device

Hell yeah

Maybe it’s just how things turned out for me, but when I was younger my brain and body were stronger but things were situationally pretty bad until I got to college. Now that I’m around 30, situationally my life couldn’t be better, but exercising doesn’t feel good any more so it’s a chore, the world is on fire just like I was warned it would be as a child, I don’t have the drive to learn any more, and it feels so unfair that I don’t get to experience the life I have the way I imagined because getting here took too much out of me. But hey, at least it’s not bad. Maybe there’s hope I “get better”.

I think healthy aging is beautiful, but I don’t think most people age healthy. If my wrinkles are based on the first 25 years of my life, they’re going to show frustration and exhaustion. I hope your winkles do show you’ve lived a life of joy though. Keep up with exercise and healthy eating, that’s more than half the battle
