Ciąg dalszy walki z #ING. Minęło kilka miesięcy, a ja ciągle co miesiąc mam problem z opłaceniem gsuite. Co miesiąc info że się nie udało pobrać kasy, co miesiąc kilkadziesiąt ponowień, aż w końcu (zgaduję) ktoś manualnie zatwierdza transakcję. Za maj jeszcze nie udało się ściągnąć kasy... Dzisiaj zadzwoniłem, Pani nie widzi poprzednich prób niż tylko dzisiejsza, niewiele może zrobić. Nie może mnie przełączyć do kogoś kto ma większe uprawnienia. Może tylko zglosić to do informatyka. I zadzwoni jeśli dostanie odpowiedź. Chwilę czasu zajęło zanim wymusiłem na niej że nie chcę odpowiedzi jeśli dostanie odpowiedź, ani wtedy kiedy dostanie odpowiedź, tylko że chcę poczuć się zaopiekowany i mają mi naprawić sytuację. W końcu obiecała że w przeciągu 2 dni oddzwoni. Mam nadzieję…
Gdzie macie konta firmowe? Bo coś czuję że będę musiał się znów przenieść, nie chce mi się wciąż walczyć z płaceniem googlowi... Coś poza mBankiem? Nie korzystam z nie wiadomo jakich ficzerów, potrzebuję 2 rachunków i 2 kart (jedna może być wirtualna), możliwość zdefiniowania przelewów automatycznych między tymi rachunkami na określone kwoty w określonym czasie, i w sumie tyle… A, i żeby karty można było dodać do GWalleta :)
The largest western banks that remain in #Russia paid the #Kremlin more than €800mn of taxes last year, a fourfold increase on prewar levels, despite promises to minimise their Russian exposure after the full-scale invasion of #Ukraine.
The seven top European banks by assets in Russia — #Raiffeisen Bank International, #UniCredit, #ING, #Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo and OTP — reported a combined profit of more than €3bn in 2023.
And they want the &*%#ing refrigerators to have access, too.
I am starting to wonder if I could survive living in one of those Silent enclaves with a laptop I carry to a coffee shop daily. Maybe a cheap laptop only for social media.
There’s a video on YouTube where someone has managed to train a network of rat neurons to play doom, the way they did it seems reminiscent of how we train ML models...
With the way current LLMs operate? The short answer is no. Most machine learning models can learn the probability distribution by performing backward propagation, which involves “trickling down” errors from the output node all the way back to the input. More specifically, the computer calculates the derivatives of each layer and uses that to slowly nudge the model towards the correct answer by updating the values in each neural layer. Of course, things like the attention mechanism resemble the way humans pay attention, but the underlying processes are vastly different.
In the brain, things don’t really work like that. Neurons don’t perform backpropagation, and, if I remember correctly, instead build proteins to improve the conductivity along the axons. This allows us to improve connectivity in a neuron the more current passes through it. Similarly, when multiple neurons in a close region fire together, they sort of wire together. New connections between neurons can appear from this process, which neuroscientists refer to as neuroplasticity.
When it comes to the Doom example you’ve given, that approach relies on the fact that you can encode the visual information to signals. It is a reinforcement learning problem where the action space is small, and the reward function is pretty straight forward. When it comes to LLMs, the usual vocabulary size of the more popular models is between 30-60k tokens (these are small parts of a word, for example “#ing” in “writing”). That means, you would need a way to encode the input of each to feed to the biological neural net, and unless you encode it as a phonetic representation of the word, you’re going to need a lot of neurons to mimic the behaviour of the computer-version of LLMs, which is not really feasible. Oh, and let’s not forget that you would need to formalize the output of the network and find a way to measure that! How would we know which neuron produces the output for a specific part of a sentence?
We humans are capable of learning language, mainly due to this skill being encoded in our DNA. It is a very complex problem that requires the interaction between multiple specialized areas: e.g. Broca’s (for speech), Wernicke’s (understanding and producing language), certain bits in the lower temporal cortex that handle categorization of words and other tasks, plus a way to encode memories using the hippocampus. The body generates these areas using the genetic code, which has been iteratively improved over many millennia. If you dive really deep into this subject, you’ll start seeing some scientists that argue that consciousness is not really a thing and that we are a product of our genes and the surrounding environment, that we act in predefined ways.
Therefore, you wouldn’t be able to call a small neuron array conscious. It only elicits a simple chemical process, which appears when you supply enough current for a few neurons to reach the threshold potential of -55 mV. To have things like emotion, body autonomy and many other things that one would think of when talking about consciousness, you would need a lot more components.
I remember showing my late dad Hot Fuzz. He was laughing so hard and practically wheezing at how relatable it was, from a US law enforcement background lol. (Especially when he’s fielding outrageous questions at the primary school LOL)
That was a really good time spent with my dad. I love that movie. We’d be quoting it all the time hahaha.
“Aww man did ya say anythin cool?”
“I uh, smashed him over the head with a pot and said ‘playtime’s over’.”
'Het Openbaar Ministerie (OM) moet binnen dertig dagen Ralph Hamers dagvaarden voor zijn rol in de witwasaffaire bij de ING Bank. Het OM heeft maandag een sommatiebrief ontvangen waarin geëist wordt dat het OM de voormalig topman van ING strafrechtelijk vervolgt voor leidinggeven aan witwassen door de bank.
Dit ultimatum heeft de jurist Gabriel Meijers namens Pieter Lakeman van de Stichting Onderzoek Bedrijfsinformatie (Sobi) aan het OM gesteld.'
Kann es sein, dass die ING derzeit Probleme mit Visa hat?
Es werden weder in der App noch im Web die zugehörigen Karten angezeigt.
Apple Pay funktioniert nicht.
Hatte erst iOS17.4 im Verdacht, allerdings funktioniert Apple Pay mit der Sparkasse problemlos.
Was mich am Konzept "Push-Nachricht" bis heute u.a. stört: wie habe ich die Möglichkeit bei so einer Nachricht schnell und eindeutig die Herkunft zu verifizieren?
Können nicht andere Apps ebenso gestaltete Nachrichten versenden?
Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I’d really like to hear people’s opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That’s why I’m asking here, I hope that’s ok.
Lawsuit against ING, the biggest commercial bank in the Netherlands, because of it's financing of fossil fuels:
"… the Dutch NGO that successfully sued Shell over its climate plans is taking those financial backers to court in a case that could help reverse the global banking sector’s support of fossil fuel firms and their activities."
@dgar
Awww shit.
This is for real.
I've a Monday staff meeting every #ing Monday. Early too.
I don't do my hair. I never do my hair. My hair is my hair and it's a force of lack of nurture. I refuse to do anything to it against its will.
If I wasn't in a bun...
Somebody please make it okay to wear ponytails at work again. I can rock a ponytail. I might even curl the tip to make it prettier when I shake my head @ the nonsense of people that demand an early morning Monday staff meeting.tsk
What is up with more and more services like banks removing any ways to contact them except by phone during office hours? What kind of anticonsumerist hellhole do these people want to create? I'm seriously considering leaving ING NL after being with them over 25 years because they just don't give me any options to contact them outside from their stupid ass phone number.
What do these people think people do all day? Sit at home and be available? The disconnect between business and people is huge.
@anthropy Wait. You found an #ING phonenumber? When I tried to contact them, one week ago, that was impossible. I had to use "chat" to find a "service point". Amateurs.
A federal judge in Atlanta on Tuesday rejected a bid by the rightwing, conservative, republican, anti-affirmative activist behind the successful U.S. Supreme Court challenge to race-conscious college admissions policies to bar a small venture capital fund from awarding grants to businesses run by Black women. #AureFreePress#News#GOP#Politics#USA
"A report earlier this week detailed 37.5 billion euros ($40.5 billion) in [#FossilFuel] #subsidies in the #Netherlands, notably related to the shipping industry, prompting calls for a quick halt to the practice.
The report calls on lawmakers to begin phasing out the subsidies before the country’s Nov. 22 general election.
"Climate activists blocked a major highway in #Amsterdam to demand an immediate end to the financing of fossil fuel projects by the country's largest bank, #ING.
ING said it would stop financing oil and gas exploration and production by 2040 and triple new lending to renewable energy over the next two years as part of an updated climate strategy.
But the protesters said this was not enough, calling on the bank to immediately ditch all fossil projects."
Could real neurons be used for LLMs?

Of all movies that you gotta watch more than once to really understand, what is your favorite and why?
