I love space and coding

@tenobrus Agree, probably true! Will be an interesting world when this happens.🙃

@VivaLaPanda I ❤️ Pittsburgh

@add1tive @nitzukai These things are very good at what they do. I'm not saying they AREN'T trained on snuff (realistically it's probably impossible to filter it all out), but if it can draw a realistic human and realistic blood it can put them together regardless.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@add1tive @nitzukai It's tough to check the generated content (although I agree they should do a better job! I assume their current filter is text based), but this doesn't show that it's in the training data. You can ask for OOD images like a watermelon piano, and it can make it.

@_fat_ugly_rat_ There is no way Irvine is part of LA, much less TEMECULA. It's (at least!) a half hour drive from Irvine to the outskirts of LA, an hour or 2 depending on traffic to actual LA. You can, and most people do, live in Irvine and only go to LA for big events.

@hasen_95dx Ok but there's only one 'good' answer. If somebody gives you 2 points on a line and asks you where the point further along is you're just going to interpolate. You're not going to just assume it's a quadratic for no reason

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@Devon_Eriksen_ ok but x = y in all three cases so we're just drawing a line in a regular 2d cartesian plane. and yeah you can just draw a line. it's just not that complicated

sometimes the cigar is just a cigar.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

heavy recommend!

@lymanstoneky When it comes to the woodchipper problem, almost nobody is jumping in, and those who do are pretty obviously suicidal. So pressing red seems obviously correct to me. But in the button framing, blue spreads like a virus, and blue seems obviously correct.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@lymanstoneky I think it's unfair to say that the framing doesn't matter. I know my mom would push the blue button, but wouldn't jump in a woodchipper. Everyone on earth has at least one person they love who would push blue. It's a virus that spreads, so it's actually a network problem.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@paulg bad take.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@ChrisPacia These are significantly different scenarios. I am certain that my mom and others I love would press the blue button, not to mention accidental presses. Nobody is accidentally or intentionally jumping into a woodchipper, so doing so wouldn't save anybody.

@vincent_vancode @XaviersXylophon @QuintenFrancois This is NOT how it works at all! For the case of factoring specifically (what would potentially break RSA encryption), a QC would use Shor's algorithm which runs in O(n^3) where n is the number of bits (so log^3 the actual number). Although very fast, it definitely is not O(1)!

@MaxAnderson It's a monthly subscription, so he's saying that they received 1/12 of a million (a bit under 100k dollary doos) of recurring subscriptions. Of course who knows what his retention rate will be or if it's just a launch bump, but $100,000 in 3 hours is obviously very good.

@ferald_gord I think calling it by the county name makes a lot of sense in the context of drawing congressional districts.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

Not only is the PSAT optional but it also has absolutely 0 bearing on anything. I got a perfect PSAT score and was a 'national merit scholar' or something and all it meant was that I had the opportunity to write essays for a scholarship (I think it was 5 or 10 grand?)

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

The idea that there are untapped geniuses out there is mostly mythical.

You take the PSAT in high school and if you score high enough things happen, you get offers, colleges contact you, the school administration gets involved.

If you didn't know this, guess what . . .

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@granawkins @marshal_martian Haha, it's crazy how effective it is! I don't think we ever ended up changing away from it.

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@BitcoinJunkies Can I be honest? This guy looks nothing like he did a decade ago. Good thing they made The Big Short then and not now!

[PlutoByte @plutobyte]

@Unkn0wnId_ @magnushambleton @DaphneRHansell It scales a hell of a lot better than current cars though, given that you don't need parking spaces for Waymos
