Turun, to asklemmy in What's the most basic thing you can't do?

Make both hands into a fist and hold them out in front of you so that the knuckles are visible. Now start on a pinky and count the knuckles and valleys between them. Knuckles are 31 days, valleys are 30 (and February). When you switch between hands it doesn’t count as a valley.

Left Pinky knucke: January, 31 days
Left Pinky/ring finger valley: February
Left Ring finger knuckle: march, 31
Left Ring/middle: April, 30
Left Middle: may, 31
Left Middle/index: June, 30
Left Index: July, 31
Right Index: August, 31
Right Index/middle: September, 30
Right middle: Oktober, 31
Right middle/ring: November, 30
Right ring finger knuckle: December, 31

I think it depends a lot on where and when you grew up. Afaik in China it’s very much uncommon to be able to swim.

I’m not sure what to tell you, other than that yes, you can simply take your hands off the handle bars on most bikes if you’re going fast enough.

Turun, to technology in Robot cars can be crashed with tinfoil and painted cardboard

That is true for most current “self driving” systems, because they are all just glorified assist features. Tesla is misleading its customers massively with their advertisement, but on paper it’s very clear that the car will only assist in safe conditions, the driver needs to be able to react immediately at all times and therefore is also liable.

However, Mercedes (I think it was them) have started to roll out a feather where they will actually take responsibility for any accidents that happen due to this system. For now it’s restricted to nice weather and a few select roads, but the progress is there!

Turun, to technology in I watched Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote and it made my blood run cold

Eh it’s not that great.

One million Blackwell GPUs would suck down an astonishing 1.875 gigawatts of power. For context, a typical nuclear power plant only produces 1 gigawatt of power.

Fossil fuel-burning plants, whether that’s natural gas, coal, or oil, produce even less. There’s no way to ramp up nuclear capacity in the time it will take to supply these millions of chips, so much, if not all, of that extra power demand is going to come from carbon-emitting sources.

If you ignore the two fastest growing methods of power generation, which coincidentally are also carbon free, cheap and scalable, the future does indeed look bleak. But solar and wind do exist…

The rest is purely a policy rant. Yes, if productivity increases we need some way of distributing the gains from said productivity increase fairly across the population. But jumping to the conclusion that, since this is a challenge to be solved, the increase in productivity is bad, is just stupid.

Turun, to programmerhumor in Leaked yesterweb document

Alternatively the y axis could be “blog posts not about …”

Turun, to technology in NGO noyb has filed a complaint against ChatGPT for violation of the GDPR

You can literally run large language models with a single exe download: github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

It doesn’t get much simpler than that.

Turun, to xkcd in xkcd #2940: Modes of Transportation

Yeah, the joke and alt text are delivered quite nicely.

Turun, to xkcd in xkcd #2940: Modes of Transportation

This is wildly dependent on infrastructure. Both for the convenience and danger axis.

There are basically no unsafe ways to get off of a unicycle. You can fall in any direction and just end up standing next to your unicycle. Compare that to a bicycle “over the handle bars”-accident.

Turun, to technology in Gemini doesn't share Google search's AI advice on pizza cheese solutions?

Addendum:

The docs say

For reproducible outputs, set temperature to 0 and seed to a number:

But what they should say is

For reproducible outputs, set temperature to 0 or seed to a number:

Easy mistake to make

Turun, to technology in Gemini doesn't share Google search's AI advice on pizza cheese solutions?

I appreciate the constructive comment.

Unfortunately the API docs are incomplete (insert obi wan meme here). The seed value is both optional and irrelevant when setting the temperature to 0. I just tested it.

Turun, (edited ) to technology in Gemini doesn't share Google search's AI advice on pizza cheese solutions?

Yeah no, that’s not how this works.

Where in the process does that seed play a role and what do you even mean with numerical noise?

Edit: I feel like I should add that I am very interested in learning more. If you can provide me with any sources to show that GPTs are inherently random I am happy to eat my own hat.

Turun, to science_memes in accents

Yes, because they communicate with natural behavior (I’m blanking on the word here. It’s behavior they were simply born with)

Language is learned, but you can still “understand” another human if they are angry, crying, or laughing, no matter where they are from.

Turun, to greentext in Anon gets unwanted attention

50/50 chance between normal keyboard and no arm muscles whatsoever and normal arm muscles and the thickest, full metal mechanical keyboard you’ve ever seen.
