I often have to write little scripts in Python or C++ to test/verify things. Copilot is great for handling the setup/boilerplate in such cases. It has made me spend a lot less time trying to modify and come up with ways to debug c

There have already been cases like professors failing entire classes for plagiarism without any critical thought because an AI claimed their work was AI generated. Those were reversed because they were particularly egregious, but I can comp

The post from Tuta did speculate that given the timing, the issue may be related to DMA changes. The issue is that they can't even reach a human at Google with authority in the associated systems to understand the issue.

I think the bigger point is that software you pay for, which requires a bannable login to use even the offline component, should not be allowed to exist.

It's pretty cool how cheap and capable microcontroller dev boards are these days, I just have a stash of two-three dozen esp8266's, esp32s and rp2040s laying around, convenient to just be able to grab one whenever something I&#x27

That's actually exactly the incident I was thinking of, my interpretation of the reaction to it was everyone being frustrated at American companies forcing their beliefs on everyone again, rather than being happy that American consumer

The other replies are interpreting this as the algorithm failing, but I have interpreted these sorts of things as intentional design choices, wherein they want the recommender to keep trying to diversify your interests so it's harder f

I think the anti-Americanism among artists only relates to not wanting to deal with hypocritical American policies on nudity and their tendency to impose their views on everyone. They're very likely perfectly fine with Americans and fo

It isn't just coming from "Christian Nationalists", hard 'progressive' rags have also been on a puritan streak in recent years when it relates to conventional attractiveness (especially in anime and adjacent circles

That sounds nice, but in the short term, many of these sites are causing people to risk losing their source of income. So many sites have had to crack down on NSFW content due to the payment processor cartels threatening to cut them off, an

I think they'll be fine, the main audience is still Japanese, and for now bypassing this is just a matter of changing an account setting (and Pixiv has required an account for NSFW for as long as I have known of it).

The US does kind of do this through its national labs. They just don't have the thriller-esque story of the Manhattan project to romanticize things and aren't wasting their intellect on maximizing doomscrolling.

Started with friends introducing me to anime in highschool (with english subtitles), which I got hooked on, then got into the music as well, and later into vtubers (so no subtitles when watching live). I haven't ever really been into o

I'm not too far into learning to speak/read Japanese, but have gotten pretty good at understanding it when spoken from years of only really watching/listening to Japanese media (human pattern matching ability is crazy!). My f

As usual with the filters, the problem always is that the filter has to be so significant that it's essentially guaranteed to happen. Else the galaxy should still be full of aliens. We seem to keep scraping by with close calls, so it d

A 15 credit semester for me, having been through undergrad within the decade, typically meant 1-2 courses with 1.5 hour lectures 3 days a week, a 3 hour lab or lecture once a week, and another 1-2 courses with a 1.5 or so hours of lecture t

I haven't had much trouble focusing on reading on computers, my only expectation is for the device to be touch screen and a pressure sensitive pen. The touch screen makes moving through pages trivial (for casual reading on say, my kind

That's actually a pretty convincing point. If all we were able to understand was the flow of electrons in a transistor and not how they were connected, we wouldn't necessarily be able to conclusively claim that digital computers w

I wonder if factors like maybe a decent chunk of engineers might be open to relocating to Japan (even if temporarily) play a role. After all, there's a lot of overlap between interests in aspects of Japanese culture (or Japan in genera

Agreed, kind of similar to the trope of 'virtual intelligences' vs 'artificial intelligences' in sci-fi, where VIs are a lot more similar to LLM intelligence (imitative, often unable to learn, able to make simple infere

Do any serious theories on the brain being predominantly digital hold any water with neuroscientists? I feel like it's fairly well accepted that the brain isn't digital even just with what we do understand about neurons?

If you mean just to beat them on distance, we could probably launch something capable of it in a decade or two by getting more serious about nuclear propulsion and using some slingshots to pick up speed further.

MS did the entire VR headset partnership thing, got some very good headsets out (for the time), and then just dropped the project and put it into maintenance mode. If they had kept working on it, it would've done well, as it wasn'

I've been pretty satisfied with Proton Mail, but have opted to not use their other services. The point of setting up a non-Google email for me was to decentralize my dependencies so they aren't all tied to one company.

Introducing a slight bias factor that is randomized each time results in a lower average bias compared to a bias factor that is the same every time. Plus, as these weren't take-home assignments, I think someone finishing earlier is mor

They're ultimately the same, the partisanship is mostly a farce as they both know that they're the only realistic options, so as long as neither side goes out of its way to seriously be better than the other, they can both enjoy t

Morton codes are pretty fun, I remember playing with them a few years ago when toying around with tricks for optimizing voxel rendering. I wrote a routine that was the fastest I could manage to encode/decode them, I wonder how it compa
