Adjusting for sample/population age is the simplest interpretation of that

I saw a great video on YouTube by languagejones, and he asks: do we have to tell the difference between an LLM and an idiot? The writing is just bad. I think this is clear to every…

This looks cool, and I might use it to make use of my Clara BW (which I bought to read on and realised I liked actual books a lot more) About the readme though: the AI-generated te…

For whatever reason, the photo is point. People are only doing it for the photo and only doing the photo for the competition. I agree that we lost something, I just also think a ma…

This reads like the author attempted to prompt an AI not to write like an AI. Normally, I do not care if a blog post is AI written, but in this case I could not follow the result

These are nice if you are scientifically literate but I suspect not so great for the lay

Sounds like you either had a fake or more likely, couldn’t fit them properly

Not everyone is duplicitous, and it’s not surprising that the experts on a technology work at a company that creates the technology. I assume you’d think the study was valid if the…

I think CS degrees are a bit light on classical theory in the modern day. In Australia CS degrees are what they say on the tin, but in America it seems almost as if CS degrees are …

It’s very intuitively appealing. We like it at my university for teaching first years how to build a line following robot. It’s one of the first times you can get students to reall…

The fascination of programmer types with classical control and estimation topics is endlessly interesting as someone who studied control and estimation and hangs out here for inter…

Thermodynamically, heat is waste energy. EVs are so efficient that scavenging isn’t practical anymore; I’m not sure the temperature gets high enough to usefully extract the heat en…

Look. Academia is also tertiary education. To have teachers not practice a diversity mindset is to the detriment of all else. Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance at all. I th…

It’s a near-doubling of energy loss - probably a healthier way to understand it when the efficiencies are all 90%+

“Choice” is funny because consumers never choose what the products are, only from the existing products. People harp on choice as a boon for windows laptops but you cannot choose a…

And you’d need the conventional jet to survive

As an Australian, I am not sure that most work done in this country adds to productivity

I think we’ve seen the decline of the USA and have already moved on without them. Not everything important is US-centric and about AI and oil

Counter signalling is a powerful thing; I think your comment will be appreciated because it is clearly written by a human

It’s also hard to develop taste in an environment flooded with content. I am not sure how much of that is AI writing getting better, and how much of that is just a lack of taste fr…

Ehh I get the point, but also: * people want stable answers from AI, which is pretty much regression to the mean * there is a safety element in there, not agreeing with the user ev…

Perhaps you are unaware, but the great wave is a wood block print. That’s not to say that the strokes aren’t amazing, but they didn’t need to be created in one pass

I think they mean that everyone in the orchestra does not get a Stradivarius

I just feel like this problem is something where unfettered capitalism does not work. What we are discussing here is a public utility, and should be managed as such

Yep ;) you’re renting, and landlords are always gonna landlord
