How about paying your staff for the work they should do?

How much money does Bezos make per hour? Ah yes, about 7,9 million USD. (2023).

Stop making rich people richer.

The idea of a world driven by robots empowered by AI methods, is really great. It gives freedom to everyone with almost no costs. Just doesn't work so well with a capitalistic society as the one we currently have.

Such uses demand a non-capitalistic socio-economic system. Like some form of communism.

It's easy to try on that pair of shoes. Those ignorants should go ahead and try building a community, try creating a video with some genuine effort regarding its content and - especially - edit it in an appealing way.

Heck, I was doing some Blender rendering for fun as a hobby and am occasionally recording some demo videos of a project I am working at for my supervisor. Sometimes it takes about two hours to edit a fucking 10 minute video. This is just a huge amount of work. No wonder any creator, who has reached a sufficient level of income, hires editors.

Don't play games with microtransactions then. (And vote for political parties that might do something about it.)
As long as there are people paying for microtransactions, such shitty developments will continue.

All the food is poison!

I don't like code, that isn't well documented. In fact, this has been my main source of frustration in the past and required the most time to deal with. Thousands of variables, hundreds of thousands of lines of code, how am I supposed to go through it somewhat fast, if there aren't any comments or pieces of documentation that are guiding my understanding? I can't spend half a year to just get a grasp of how the code works.

Comments (as well as docstrings and readmes etc.) provide higher level overviews that can guide you through the code rather quickly, even if it may be longer in terms of words or character count than the lines of code it describes, it may accelerate understanding tremendously. It's just a lot more effort to trace each variable and see what it does and how it interacts with others. This can quickly become exponentially hard to track.

I don't think it's necessary to comment each line of code, except in rare cases or maybe when setting up a class and describing the members and roughly how they're used,, but a few words here and there, at some higher or intermediate level, roughly describing what you want to do, can go a long way for others (and even yourself, when working on a project for several years). It's also already sufficient to just highlight the most important variables in a piece of code, when explaining it. Given that info, this steers your focus when reading the actual code.

"Speaking" variable/function/... names are also very useful. I don't care if it's a long name, as long as it's sufficiently expressive. E.g. "space_info" instead of "si". This helps to understand the code more quickly and reduces backtracking lookups, because you already forgot again what a specific variable does that you haven't seen for a while. My rule of thumb for variable naming: As consice, short and "essence grasping" as possible, but as long as necessary.

Noted. Will upload my future papers on SciHub myself. /j. Or am I? Vsauce music plays Did you know vegetables are a social construct?

We don't even have a clear definition of what "intelligence" even is. Yet a lot of people art claiming that they themselves are intelligent and AI models are not.

WHO also disapproves of conventional cigarettes.

It's best, if you stay away from both.

Given the findings of the study in this post, I'm not sure whether we can even still say whether one is better or worse than the other.

Since the toxins are transmitted via the aerosols: can there something be said about the effect on involuntary "passive smokers"?

Vaping has been a major public-health success story

WHO disapproves of electronic nicotine delivery systems.

They have adapters. But yeah, would be nice to have a slot directly integrated.

Germans:
"glow-wormsies"

(Glühwürmchen)

That's called victim blaming.

But yeah. I really hope people stop using Google products. Google is evil.

Any form of highly restricted communication prevents meaningful discussions as it's incapable of of capturing the complexity of most topics.

That's why I've never used Twitter and only forum-like platforms, like Lemmy now.

Masbe that was the core of the issue.

The Expanse

While I wouldn't say they've "ruined it" it felt like a significant drop in quality the moment Amazon took over.

I know that words are tokenized in the vanilla transformer. But do GPT and similar LLMs still do that as well? I assumed they also tokenize on character/symbol level, possibly mixed up with additional abstraction down the chain.

"Let me know if you'd like help counting letters in any other fun words!"

Oh well, these newish calls for engagement sure take on ridiculous extents sometimes.

There are too many assholes in positions of power.
