Mediums of information delivery change with time. Just because someone doesn’t read much doesn’t mean that they are idiots.

It seems that LIDAR based self driving tech (the one that Waymo uses) is miles ahead than 2d camera based tech (the one that Tesla uses).

I’m really excited for this being implemented for city buses. Currently, in lower density areas, there are two choices - have smaller buses with more frequency, or have larger buses with less frequency. The problem with smaller buses is that you need more drivers. The problem with larger buses is that frequency becomes low, thus disincentivizing usage of public transit.

Self driving city buses would be really cool as driver costs would be 0. This would mean, that smaller buses/vans would be able to run at fixed routes at really high frequencies.

Ugh

It’s the same here, except it’s tankies.

Wanna bet that it was the Russians?

Fuck the Indian state and its enablers.

I don’t understand why the knee jerk reaction for everything is just “ban it”.

You want to reduce the exposure of children to predators? Moderate the platforms. We can agree that Reddit n Lemmy’s moderation is a lot better than Instagram’s moderation. Why don’t we start with that???

The biggest way predators do their predatoring is by sliding into ur DMs. You could restrict this by requiring approval for all such new DMs by a parent’s account or something. There r just so many ways that social media can be made safer for kids.

Social media is a digital townsquare. Sure, there r some malicious actors lurking about. Does that mean that kids should just be banned from this townsquare? No. The townsquare should be made safer for kids. There must be some hand-holding for kids in the beginning so that they can learn how to make the best use of this infrastructure in the future.

Governmental overreach. Good luck trying to enforce this shit.

Social media isn’t bad inherently. Addictive algorithms, violation of user privacy, etc. is bad.

Kids should be taught how to make use of social media for good. I was bullied quite a lot as a kid. Social media is what kinda brought me out of it.

Social media told 13 year old me, that it is alright to be gay. Social media is what made me interested in politics. A huge part of who I am today is because of the nice people I met online. Fuck the government for trying to take it away from others like me.

:(

What’s happening?

Isn’t there some law that you have to visually indicate whether a given piece of content is sponsored (ad) or not? Can’t that just be detected by ad blockers to skip/hide ads?

Very interesting video, I had no idea the level of redundancy built into QR codes.

RIGHT?!! Same here. I didn’t know there was SO MUCH of thought put behind QR codes. I always assumed they were just bits visually represented in 2D with the three black squares being there for alignment purposes. Turns out it is a lot more complicated than that hehe

Thanks!

Dayum, that’s nice! Maybe I’ll use it if I ever want to learn a new language

Does Duolingo come up with personalised tests n stuff? Never used it much haha

Did u read the abstract? They’re presenting a framework to use LLMs as educators in higher education. It’s quite cool really.

The idea is to create a professor personalised for every student and their learning patterns. Imagine hiring a professor to personally teach you something. The professor talks to you, creates little tests specifically for what they think are your weaknesses are in the subject matter and so on.

This is very good for us as human researchers will now be able to dedicate (assuming this tech works) 100% of their time to research instead of teaching the same subject matter again and again every single year, coming up with tests, marking tests, grading their students’ papers and so on.

If this tech is successful, then education costs would nosedive like crazy, which would be good for all.

I’m confident we should start seeing stuff like this soon. The upcoming ChatGPT model (forgot the version name) is doing recursive prompts for itself, where it breaks down a big task into smaller ones, then runs and reruns those tasks before coming up with an output.

Right now, all LLMs just do a single pass and spit out the output. They don’t reason with themselves like we do yet. It’s kinda like what we do in quiz competitions or something, where we immediately shout “blue” when asked “what color is the sky”. However, when asked something more complicated, we don’t just answer quickly based on intuition, do we? We pause, think, rethink, look for counter arguments, patch holes in our statements and so on.

This is the ability that LLMs lack now. However, very soon they will be able to do that. This just opens up a crazy amount of things that they can do. Take code for example. Right now, LLMs just spit out code without seeing if it works or not. Now, they’ll be able to run it themselves, look for errors, bugs and so on, fix them and finally submit the output code.

Stuff like this would supercharge them quite a lot. Now, I know that I’m going to be downvoted to hell for talking about AI, cuz lemmy hates it. Mark my words though - you’ll be able to do A LOT using LLMs because of this.

AI is going to exist and improve like crazy no matter what. The leftist position on this should be public ownership over these models and NOT pretending that they don’t exist.

If it is approved by the FDA? HECK YEAH BAYBEEE

No association with any account. Therefore, no profiling.

I was using the quantized version :(

But again, do remember that this was when the first open sourced AI models had just begun to come out. Stuff from Open Assistant for example. I don’t even remember the name of the model that I was running (it was just too weird and funny lol). I just remember it being HUGE, quite dumb and making my device sweat lol.
