  1. @scottmiller42 want to dump corprite AI infested shit stealing your work?

    I just brought our free and opensourced server online https://vcs.mpaq.org ... ANYONE and EVERYONE can do it and #TakeBackTheInternet

    Remember the dotcom boom pricing model? Sell it at a loss, expand the user base, for years with expectation that economy of scale will lead to profit.

    The fact that they are converting to a usage-based pricing model so quickly tells you they are losing their ass on this!!!

    Also, for those prior dotcoms, the costs didn't grow so fast by usage (heavily driven by R&D and marketing). #GenAI #LLMs have a voracious appetite for silicon, electricity, and cash!

    There’s a lot of reasons to be opposed to USA war in Iran, but my conviction that any action we take will only leave the world in a worse place is at the top of my list. This administration is laughably incompetent compared to the one that started the US invasion in Iraq in 2003, and we saw how that turned out.

    Hey Scott, I have not decided what to think about LLMs and copyrights.

    I saw the word Data analyst in your Bio, so I suppose you have some knowledge in #DataScience and #DataEngineering.

    I am myself trained in #MachineLearning and a bit in #neuralnetworks but I am far far far far far away from being any close to an expert. I can use them, efficiently sometimes. Sometimes not: there are problems I am still bad at solving with them.

    I am still learning the Transformers stuffs and other types of layers used in Deep Learning. That's huge stuff. For me at least.

    Could you clear that doubt I have when I read your messages:
    when you talk about "MEMORIZING" data

    It conflicts with my poor understanding of #machinelearning #neuralnet #transformer

    At my level of understanding: memorizing == overfitting
    that means that the model cannot extrapolate or even interpolate between values of the training set.

    This is something that I have categorized as a real flaw. If any of my models overfits, I consider it broken. I throw it away, it will not perform good on any unexpected input.

    Could you explain me how "memorizing" would differ in your vision?

    Don't hesitate to simplify things, I am not an expert yet at #transformer and #LLM

    In advance thanks. I would not like to be fooled by my apriori.

    THIS!

    if you get the feeling from the #primary #vote coming up (for most) that there are no good #left #candidates (you're fucking #voting in the fucking #primaries.. right? right?)

  9. Upper left corner is row 1 col 1.
    If r12c13 is filled in:

    Then (green) r12c9 through r12c12 must also be filled in, r11c10 through r11c13 must also be filled in, r9c9 and r9c10 must also be filled in.

    Then (blue) r11c14 can’t be filled in. Thus col 14, rows 12 through 15 can’t be filled in.

    Then (orange) r12c7 and r12c8 must be filled in. Thus r11c7 must be filled in, but this breaks the clue “4 1” for row 11.

    Conclusion: r12c13 is NOT filled in.

  14. Stupid chatbot can’t even tell me if this #nonogram is solvable with logic alone, and can’t even admit that without 10 prompts. Why are we trusting LLMs with important questions?

  17. To those apologizing for being tricked into supporting in the 2022 Senator primary:

    No apology necessary. Per the saying, “fool me once, shame on you.” There was no indication he’d go MAGA back in 2022. The shame is on Fetterman for misrepresenting himself.

    The second part, “fool me twice, shame on me” applies when you had ample warning. Example: 3x Turnip voters upset their non-citizen spouses are deported.

  24. Is it too late for someone early 50s to decide they want to abandon their data analytics career (BA, MS, 30 years experience), and start a new path studying television academically? Uh, asking for a friend.

    Incidentally, what would be a good title for a thesis studying the left-at-the-altar trope, and how and why it appears much more frequently in sitcoms than in real life, and maybe explore some sociological intersections with that?

  26. Realistically, I may never get around to writing anything more about this than what I have here. I'd be delighted if someone takes this idea and writes a story around it. If you do, I'd appreciate a hat tip, and please tag me so I can read it!
