Meanwhile Trump is being controlled by Netanyahu, not because he is a Jew, because he’s a fascist. Oh, and money

You’re apparently a photon, so your comment checks out. You’re good to go

Would be cool to see a decentralized journal or something. No idea how it would work actually work, but since research is supposed to be peer reviewed, why not just let the whole structure of it become open and decentralized?

Before cryptocurrencies really went to shit and became so toxic/scammy, I used to believe crypto could help decentralize it by democraticing the process and making it fully transparent, while also rewarding authors and peer reviewers for their work. But alas

Are you fucking kidding me? Why the hell do we even allow this shit.

You have to pay them money to publish your work so they can sell it to your peers. Oh and you have to work for free reviewing other potential work. It’s the most broken business model ever.

I’m still at least a year away from falling down the nixos rabbit hole, but I can hear it calling to me. Good luck tho

Yes I switched to bazzite on by gaming PC for that reason. Works really well and I can always play my games without that fear, or the annoyance of windows. I always recommend bazzite to new users for this reason.

Fedora works really well on my laptop tho

Yeah on fedora or any other rolling distros you’ve got to look it up online if an Nvidia driver has been released before upgrading the kernel. I always forget to do that and I’m forced to touch grass for a few days until the driver gets released.

Would’ve been awesome to see Project Tamriel Rebuilt in Skywind, but that’s unrealistic

Thank makes me angry

You’re probably right, but I think it’s made worse by AI. Jumping into the code after 3 hours with Claude doing the dirty work feels like an impossibility

I’m really just tricking my brain to think I’m being more productive lmao.

But then again, some of the stuff I’m working on is in principle quite easy to do, but is also outside of my skillet, for these cases I benefit from using AI.

IMO the challenge is knowing how and when to use AI. Small companies using AI correctly can probably benefit massively from it. Although it’s risky

If I use AI for my personal coding projects I’ve found that if the task is unsolvable by the ai model, I’m not able to sit down and do it myself until the next day. It’s like I’ve got to reset my brain.

If I want to save time and use AI for a specific part of the code, it probably saves me 5 hours of work. But then I spend five hours yelling at the ai to try to get it to actually solve it. Next day I’ll just fix it myself in 2 hours.

You guys shower?

Apparently northern Norway is extreme left, while the rest of the country is extreme right

Who?

And told your aunt

You’re right, but there’s still a lot of different kinds of AI. The hype is all about LLMs. Of course there are similarities between them. Most AIs use artificial neural networks for instance. The training process of these networks, and their architecture is usually what separates them.

Reinforcement learning is oftenly used to play video games, or control robots. They learn by taking actions in an environment, and getting feedback for their actions.

Supervised learning can be used for object detections in images for instance. You manually create a dataset where you label each pixel of an image containing a dog for instance, and you end up with a dataset of labeled images with dogs. Then you train the neural network to spot the similarities. One researcher trained such a network to separate between dogs and wolves a few years back. But when they performed explainability analysis on the output they could see that the AI had instead noticed that snow was present on most images with wolves, so it would classify every image they provided containing snow was a wolf lol.

Then you have unsupervised learning which is basically to just let the neural network learn on its own the structure and relationships in the data.

Of course there are many different variations of training, oftentimes multiple stages consisting of some of, or even all of the above. It’s a mess

The performance boost is just the icing on the cake
