I appreciate your effort. I was more of a lurker on Reddit, but realised we all got to actively participate here if we want Lemmy (and the Fediverse at large) to succeed.

Unfortunately, content marketing is a long-term ROI strategy. IMO other marketing means (e.g. ads, influencers) would do a better job of bringing new users onboard in the short term, helping us to tap into the network effect.

IMO there hasn’t been enough marketing of Fediverse / Lemmy / etc.

How about more marketing efforts? Buying ads?

Donate some of it to charity.

The field of artificial general intelligence has been around for something like 70 years, and has made a really modest amount of progress in that time, on the scale of what they’re trying to do.

I daresay it would stay this way until we figure out what intelligence is.

Artificial Intelligent is supposed to be intelligent.

For the record, AI is not supposed to be intelligent.

It just has to appear intelligent. It can be all smoke-and-mirrors, giving the impression that it’s smart enough - provided it can perform the task at hand.

That’s why it’s termed artificial intelligence.

The subfield of Artificial General Intelligence is another story.

In the ‘Medium’ difficulty category, OpenAI’s o4-mini-high model scored the highest at 53.5%.

This fits my observation of such models. o4-mini-high is able to help me with 80-90% of the problems at work. For the remaining problems, it would come up with a nonsensical solution and no matter how much I prompt it, it would tunnel-vision on that specific approach. It could never second guess itself and realise that its initial solution is completely off the mark, and try an entirely differently approach. That’s where I usually step in and do the work myself.

It still saves me time with the trivial stuff though.

I can’t say the same for the rest of the LLMs. They are simply no good at coding and just waste my time.

keep cooking

I fucking love durians.

Not adding anything of value here; just want to point out your username is based.

How is it that we are only learning about this now💀

Personally, I have seen so many memes about exiting vim that by the time I got to use it for the first time, exiting it was a no-brainer.

For any newbies out there, the command is

It’s like how vaccinations protect us from illnesses.

I still remember Geoff Hinton’s criticisms of backpropagation.

IMO it is still remarkable what NNs managed to achieve: some form of emergent intelligence.

ITT: people who obviously did not study computer science or AI at at least an undergraduate level.

Y’all are too patient. I can’t be bothered to spend the time to give people free lessons.

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

Personally, I wish that there’s more progress in our understanding of human intelligence.

pull water from the air, collect it in pores and release it onto surfaces without the need for any external energy

If this is legit, it’s going to be revolutionary.

The bank knows that:

1. these people are able to pay it back
2. it is more profitable - for the bank - to continuously lend money to them (by charging interest on the loan)

This is the same reason why some countries and companies are perpetually in debt.

There is currently a labor crunch in the anime industry due to its unattractive working conditions. A 2024 report by the Nippon Anime and Film Culture Association showed that workers were overworked and underpaid, with hourly rates below the country’s minimum wage being common.

TLDR: money

Spaghetti is all messy and tangled up; spaghetti code is the same.

when the order of execution was obfuscated due to excessive jumps and GOTOs

That’s one way to make your code messy and thus achieve spaghetti code.

In general, when some code is very poorly written, it becomes spaghetti code.
