polyfire,

There is a movie called sisu. It’s a pretty epic action movie. Worth a watch if you’re into that kinda thing.

polyfire,

There is an overlay app you can get on just regular android called velociraptor. It usually does it for you. Some streets it doesn’t know. Never tried it in Android auto. But if I use my phone screen navigation when driving it does.

polyfire,

Not sure I’m on 11

polyfire,

Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you.

polyfire,

Saying it out loud would be a security risk

polyfire,

You know when your typing on your phone and you have that bar above the keyboard showing you what word it thinks you are writing? If you click the word before you finish typing it, it can even show you the word it thinks you are going to write next. Gpt works the same way, it just has waaaay more data that it can sample from.

It’s all just very advanced predictive text algorithms.

Ask it a question about basketball. It looks through all documents it can find about basketball and sees often they reference, hoops, Michael Jordan, sneakers, NBA ect. And just outputs things that are highly referenced in a structure that makes grammatical sense.

For instance, if you had the word ‘basketball’ it knows it’s very unlikely for the word before it to be ‘radish’ and it’s more likely to be a word like ‘the’ or ‘play’ so it just strings it together logically.

That’s the basics anyway.

Edit: i see now it’s an article and not just you asking a question lol. I’ll leave it up anyway.

polyfire,

I wonder what an ELI5 version of ‘stored weights’ would be in this context.

What if solving interstellar travel isn't about figuring out faster than light propulsion, but how to extend our own lives?

So I was day dreaming and I caught a thought. What if what we understand about physics is actually all there is to understand? What if you objectively cannot move faster than the speed of light because you can’t do the time traveling things necessary. This would mean that the only way to travel amongst the stars would be to...

polyfire,

It’s kind of interesting to think of society like a videogame. Like we put our stats in oil and tech. But not much in biotech. The different style of civilisation advancement we are missing out on could be wild. But we can’t go back and play the game from the start again, so we’ll never see what that’s like.

Could be computers built off of nerves instead of wires. Computers that grow and multiply. I wonder if it could lead to a new understanding of the nature around us and how we all fit and play a role in the galaxy.

Maybe our desire to explore space is immature. There may be whole other types of space that we can’t see because we don’t have the tech.

polyfire,

Don’t knock it till you try it.

polyfire,

Coleslaw is already pretty cold when you eat it. So if anything it would just be crunchier. But no haven’t had it, but if I saw it at a BBQ, I’d def partake.

polyfire,

Slawfully

polyfire,

It’s such an easy binge.

polyfire,

I take it back actually that Christmas episode was intense I had to take a break. Lol. Still fire though.

polyfire,

If it’s got an HDMI in I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. But don’t expect the steamdeck to get 60fps at 5k.

polyfire,

I recently made the move to librewolf(windows) and mull(android). Essentially just Firefox but with more protection. Super easy switch, hardly notice a difference so far.

polyfire,

Ehh…not sure yet 😅

polyfire,

We’ll all be dead before the astroid gets here. Great movie though

polyfire,

Soon we’ll all just be talking to our computers and physical input devices will be a relic. We’re prolly gonna get to a point where were just hooked up to neural networks. Over time people will forget that we used to be able to speak.
