I think the best way to understand the Planck length is to understand how we came to Planck’s constant in the first place. Science Physics girl has a good video on it (she shared today that she’s getting better, which is fantastic news)

This is just the start, and will likely involve the West bank next. After that, it’s likely that Israel will attempt expanding into its neighbors.

And it’s not just to get some old dudes even richer - it’s also to further crush the ability of the middle east to rebel or obtain meaningful autonomy.

Make it into a hill over the hole

I think we should avoid simplifying it to VLMs, LMs, Medical AI and AI for disabled people.

For instance, most automatic text capture ais (optical Character Recognition, or OCR) are powered by the same machine learning algorithms. Many of the finer-capability robot systems also utilize machine learning (Boston Dynamics utilizes machine learning for instance). There’s also the ability to ID objects within footage, as well as spot faces and referencing it with a large database in order to find the person with said face.

All these are Machine Learning AI systems.

I think it would also be prudent to cease using the term ‘AI’ when what we actually are discussing is machine learning, which is a much finer subset. Simply saying ‘AI’ diminishes the term’s actual broader meaning and removes the deeper nuance the conversation deserves.

Here are some terms to use instead

• Machine Learning = AI systems which increase their capability through automated iterative refinement.
• Evolutionary Learning = a type of machine learning where many instances of randomly changed AI models (called a ‘generation’) are run simultaneously, and the most effective is/are used as a baseline for the next ‘generation’
• Neural Network = a type of machine learning system which utilizes very simple nodes called ‘neurons’ for processing. These are often used for image processing, LMs, and OCR.
• Convolution Neural Network (CNN) = a Neural network which has an architecture of neuron ‘fliters’ layered over each other for powerful data processing capabilities.

This is not exhaustive but hopefully will help in talking about this topic in a more definite and nuanced fashion. Here is also a document related the different types of neural networks

Not a member myself, but I agree that this makes alot of sense, where proof of membership is a requirement to join this instance.

On a seperate note, how does one become a member of SDF?

No

Classic creepypasta. It’s this one, the search and rescue stories, and I think there’s another that slips my mind right now.

EDIT: boy did I miss a few.

• Ben Drowned
• Candle Cove
• Russian Sleep Experiment
• Squidward’s Suicide

Of course, some of the weaker ones imo are also classics:

• slender man
• jeff
• the backrooms

g!!

Bury It deep in the earth where it came from and mark it like toxic waste.

Overall, this makes sense. We’ve kind of acted like console gaming is somehow separate from computer gaming because of consoles exclusive monopolies on various titles, but it’s become much clearer over time that it’s actually PC which has been gather exclusive titles by… just… Being easy to develop for with no requirement to port? It looks more and more like we’re seeing PC taking over the gaming space more and more. Hopefully valve can pull this off right.

Ah, this post explains the long pause in my account getting approved. Glad you guys resolved it.
