  • Uh. Buddy. They absolutely are known for building a shitload of trains. There's the Gottard, which is the longest tunnel through a mountain, and I think also the steepest railtracks in the world?

    You've never heard of swiss trains always being on time?

  • That's because it's suspended from your instance. Many instances are blocking threads since. Yknow. Facebook. Privacy and such.

    Also the whole "committing a coup". And the "actively spreading discord". And- you know what I'll just stop there

  • Neural networks are named like that because they're based on a model of neurons from the 50s, which was then adapted further to work better with computers (so it doesn't resemble the model much anymore anyway). A more accurate term is Multi-Layer Perceptron.

    We now know this model is... effectively completely wrong.

    Additionally, the main part (or glue, really) of LLMs is not even an MLP, but a "self-attention" layer. You can't say LLMs work like a brain, because they don't. The rest is debatable but it's important to remember that there are billions of dollars of value in selling the dream of conscious AI.

  • Nah. Programming is... really hard to automate, and machine learning more so. The actual programming for it is pretty straightforward, but to make anything useful you need to get training data, clean it, and design a structure, which is much too general for an LLM.

  • "The ranges experienced by humans" is extremely variable. My friends from hotter countries can barely handle 10°C, but are fine at 40°C, and it's entirely the opposite for me.

    I assure you that for regular use, Celsius works great. I don't really think either is better than the other in practice (outside of chemistry), but "it's the range people experience" is kinda bull. A 10 degree F difference from 0 to 10 is very different from 60 to 70.

    Also, water freezing at 0°C (and boiling at 100°C, to a lesser degree) is quite convenient in everyday life. Just check for a minus sign and you know if it can freeze.
