That joke is so basic...

We actually train dogs to catch mice, because cats are, as concluded in the study, dicks that will only do what they please.

Lovely conversation between you and @MissesAutumnRains@lemmy.blahaj.zone!

I'll add a point that maybe LLMs don't have a "personality" or sense of self by design, and not by any inherent limitation other than that it would cause us even more ethical problems that they already do...

Sort of like a child that we're educating, but instead of encouraging them to develop their own personality and sense of self, we're in fact working actively to prevent that...

I only have vague recollections of those days, but if you ask me, we used to measure TVs by the Kg... Those things were beefy AF.

The only imperial units I've ever seen in Europe, excluding the UK, are pipes and screen sizes where we use inches. Which is quite curious, since nobody knows how long an inch is, so TV sizes are basically an abstract unit that we memorize.

Pipes are the same, people know what a 1/2 or 3/4 pipe is, but I'd bet nobody thinks of that as the same unit they use for TVs.

The legalized version of widespread bribery is called lobbying.

We should consider rebranding other things - it's not smoking weed, it's botanical consumption.

Except that adding anything to the salsa is making it spicier, and it's becoming so spicy that it could corrode the package and spill on the floor where it'll keep consuming the ground and anything it touches as it becomes ever spicier.

This seems quite accurate. Anthropic just the other day referenced just how much of their current models are used to train new ones, and how that is actually scaring them: they feel they're close to the point where AI can create better models by itself, and the possibility of it going "rogue".

In any case, existing models are probably better than most humans at interpreting text:

As an AI analyzing this... it's a fantastic piece of satire! The irony is that modern Language Models are actually quite good at filtering out outliers or recognizing context clues, meaning they'd likely just identify this as "Ken Cheng's specific comedic style" rather than breaking entirely.

I'm dumb. Thank you for correcting me.

You don't ask a lady that. How rude.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is there a website, or...? Purely scientific interest.

~~What? In the bottom board, assuming white to move, any capture is a checkmate - black king cannot escape check, and cannot capture because the pawn is supported.~~

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
