  • For my understanding, what is the difference between a quote post and a post that contains a link to another post?

  • I draw the concept, or write down the formula or even a sentence, on a shared board/screen etc. So I can clearly show my understanding and check where the other person understanding is different.

    It means that we have to work together to come to a common understanding.

  • There is no need to express opinions when we have good estimates for both your questions:

    Sector by sector: where do global greenhouse gas emissions come from? -> https://ourworldindata.org/ghg-emissions-by-sector

    individual solutions reviewed and assessed by Project Drawdown, including their relevant sector(s) and their impact on reducing heat-trapping gases -> https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions

    Both the links above are from a very interesting video on the topic that I suggest to take a look at. Also the whole channel is really interesting and well done -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReXaS4QausQ

  • Unrequested suggestion:

    Lemuroid emulator + apotris is the best (FOSS) tetris replacement on Android

  • Very cool!

    I'm wondering how long until Bluesky locks down its users

  • Even if LLM "neurons" and their interconnections are modeled to the biological ones, LLMs aren't modeled on human brain, where a lot is not understood.

    The first thing is that how the neurons are organized is completely different. Think about the cortex and the transformer.

    Second is the learning process. Nowhere close.

    The fact explained in the article about how we do math, through logical steps while LLMs use resemblance is a small but meaningful example. And it also shows that you can see how LLMs work, it's just very difficult

  • Very arrogant answer. Good that you have intuition, but the article is serious, especially given how LLMs are used today. The link to it is in the OP now, but I guess you already know everything...

  • Oh wow thank you! That's it!

    I didn't even remember now good this article was and how many experiments it collected

  • I'm aware of this and agree but:

    • I see that asking how an LLM got to their answers as a "proof" of sound reasoning has become common
    • this new trend of "reasoning" models, where an internal conversation is shown in all its steps, seems to be based on this assumption of trustable train of thoughts. And given the simple experiment I mentioned, it is extremely dangerous and misleading
    • take a look at this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Xx4Tpsk_fnM : everything is based on observing and directing this internal reasoning, and these guys are computer scientists. How can they trust this?

    So having a good written article at hand is a good idea imho

  • Technology @lemmy.world

    I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally

  • TL:DR -> https://thelemmy.club/comment/19143233

    Examples:

    • The year doesn't start at the shortest day (Persian calendar is better in that regard).
    • month length is not evenly distributed. Why is February shorter?
    • time is almost never power of 10: there is 12, 60, 24
    • time zones are used to follow alliances: see al the nations that went to CET after fall of URSS
    • you can easily estimate your local time by looking at the sun
    • Holidays tend to happen on the same approximate dates even when major cultural changes happen. See how Christianity took over a lot of things from Romans.
  • Woah, I think you catchet the biggest problem I have with it immediatly. I'm thinjking of opening an issue maybe?

  • We both know that is not how this should work. If everybody joins the same instance

    But this doesn't happen. Mastodon.social is far from 90%, and the former CEO made the choice of letting control go to an entity that is no-profit, I think it's the right choice.

    • The casual user joins mastodon.social (default highlighted choice). He can enjoy the Fediverse and discover its complexity with experience, not by understanding everything in advance.
      • He can the move to another instance if he feels so, after undetstanding what this actually means
    • The more advanced user probably already knows the instance thing, and maybe doesn't even use the offical app
  • I'm not sure, but i guess that it is replicating Twitter behaviour. I got used to that quickly.

    But if you want a better experience you can easily find other front ends. I strongly suggest Phanpy that makes it really clear when a toot is part of a conversation/thread. It also does a lot of nice things like grouping boosts in horizontal carousels, collapsing long threads to avoid occpying the too many screens, and others, but it is still simple

  • I think your steps from 2 to 8 are summed up in

    Create an account. Just like Twitter (or any other social media).

    Meaning that those are not any different than what you need to do in Twitter or facebook. Actually the consents you need and the app permissions are much simpler in Mastodon case

    An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon

  • By the way I think the communication can be much simpler:

    From here: https://www.staygrounded.online/p/an-extremely-simple-guide-to-mastodon

    How do I use Mastodon?

    • Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.
    • Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)
    • Follow people, and get posting.

    Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?

    I have no fucking idea.
