why?

racism

lets-a-go, yahoo

I've recently learned Americans don't do log tables in high school.

Log is the opposite of exponent, so log2 is the opposite of squared, log 3 the opposite of cubed. log4 opposite of x^4 etc

instead of making things relatively bigger, you're going the other way and making things smaller, in the diagram this means that if the sun's size is 1 unit, under log2 it would have to be twice as big as the sun to be represented as the same size as the sun, the closer you get to the edge the bigger it has to be to be represented as the same size as the sun

Freddie Mercury and Prince?

Their only controversy is that they liked sex and were bi, which to my mind, as someone who that also applies to, I don't see as immoral.

edit: grammar got fucked

Nugent did give us an effective method for dodging the draft though.

I think its just a circular logarithmic representation of the universe starting at Sol

what would they have to produce to not be snake oil?

Can you name a company who has produced an LLM that doesn't refer to it generally as part of "AI"?

can you name a company who produces AI tools that doesn't have an LLM as part of its "AI" suite of tools?

What are you talking about? I read the papers published in mathematical and scientific journals and summarize the results in a newsletter. As long as you know equivalent undergrad statistics, calculus and algebra anyone can read them, you don't need a qualification, you could just Google each term you're unfamiliar with.

While I understand your objection to the nomenclature, in this particular context all major AI-production houses including those only using them as internal tools to achieve other outcomes (e.g. NVIDIA) count LLMs as part of their AI collateral.

I've been working on an internal project for my job - a quarterly report on the most bleeding edge use cases of AI, and the stuff achieved is genuinely really impressive.

So why is the AI at the top end amazing yet everything we use is a piece of literal shit?

The answer is the chatbot. If you have the technical nous to program machine learning tools it can accomplish truly stunning processes at speeds not seen before.

If you don't know how to do - for eg - a Fourier transform - you lack the skills to use the tools effectively. That's no one's fault, not everyone needs that knowledge, but it does explain the gap between promise and delivery. It can only help you do what you already know how to do faster.

Same for coding, if you understand what your code does, it's a helpful tool for unsticking part of a problem, it can't write the whole thing from scratch

What about band/musician names? Isn't calling yourself The Boss, or Satchmo, or Hootie and the Blowfish, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Led Zeppelin "unserious"

And secondly why is being silly bad?

...the south lol

fuck

people eat basically the same shit

Buffalo sauce is a rare sight in Europe, as is white gravy. Americans consider them an everyday occurrence.

To the creative trades though union busting is a big fucking deal.

Movie studios will - and historically have - given children drugs to make them work 14 hour days.

I will nationalize your service for free to everyone

engineer: what about a wall instead of a door?

which he inherited from a Venusian Space Magic cult who believe the Roswel landing was people from Venus who gave us the raw fruit diet to heal all human illnesses because that's what they do on Venus.

something like the number if hate groups in the US went up by 6000% under Obama

the database doesn't have to necessarily be accurate if there's other checks - a flag for test data, a system that checks the person is real against another database before dispersing funds etc
