Word recall
  • A big part of communication is learning to modulate your language registers. If you speak like a scientic paper is written when talking with your friends, people look strange at you.

    Also, sometimes simpler communocation is just more effective communication

  • Why are we training AIs on reddit posts instead of Research Papers? We could be saving the world!
  • Because "ai" ad we colloquially know today are language models: they train on and can produce language, that's what they are designed on. Yes, they can produce images and also videos, but they don't have any form of real knowledge or understanding, they only predict the next word or the next pixel based on their prompt and their vast examples of words and images. You can only talk to them because that's what they are for.

    Feeding research papers will make it spit research-sounding words, which probably will contain some correct information, but at best an llm trained on that would be useful to search through existing research, it would not be able to make new one

  • Germany’s clean industry wish-list: Kick nuclear out of EU financing
  • There are ways to modulate production even with "flat" production. A clever way is to use water as energy accumulator: you pump water into a dam during the night, that you later let flow through turbines during the day.

  • TechSpot can't help but sellout in their own editor picks
  • Well, depending on your use case, you might not care. If you want casual power point editing on your laptop, just slap a cheap key and it will work fine, buy another one for your home desktop and you are still <10% of a "genuine" licence. If you change your pc just buy a new one and you might even find a newer version. As for the MS account, I don't know anyone who uses it for office licence sharing, so I can't tell about it

  • Birthday rule
  • 12 years ago we got two sibling kittens, an orange male and a black female. I never celebrated their birthday, but this post reminded me of them :)

    The black one is still with us, getting a little old but doing quite fine. The orange one disappeared some 4 years ago. I just hope he was unhappy and found a better place, because we once saw him some time after he was gone.

  • efficient game design rule
  • No crash log, under any circumstance, regardless of available resources, should reach 300GB. No useful information can be gathered and it probably meana the program was running an infinite loop.

  • Old vs. new, which one do you like more?
  • What I meant is that if they don't feel the need tp redo it again after the same amount of time, it must mean there was a good reason to do it before, and they probably addressed all the problems they wanted (mainly about security). Also I don't feel like the iconic look changed that much. The format is the same, the color is the same, and the buldings are similar

  • Old vs. new, which one do you like more?
  • A reminder that the "new" 5€ note is as old as the old one was when the new was released. First series was 11 years old (2002-2013), new is also 11 years old (2013-2024). Higher value notes were introduced later though

  • Humanity's trial
  • Considering how much money a salary is, it's easy to see how 30/40€ of license (or whatever that is) is a negiglible sum to save on potentially enormous legal troubles.

    Also, depending how big the company is, automatic installation and deployment systems might be in place, and changing that also has a cost.
