Yes! The way those physics models are created is so cool. The article somewhat explains it, but it’s mostly a fluff-piece for things unrelated to genAI. More in-depth:

The physically accurate simulation is great but slow. So we can create a neural network (there’s a huge variety in shapes), and give it an example of physics, and tell it to make a guess as to what it’ll look like in, say, 1ms. We make it improve at this billions of times, and eventually it becomes “good enough” in most cases. By doing those 1ms steps in a loop, we get a full simulation. Because we chose the shape of it, we can pick a shape that’s quite fast to compute, and now we have a less-accurate but faster simulation.

The really cool thing is that sometimes, these models are better than the more expensive physics simulation, probably because real physics is logical and logical things are easier to learn.

We’ve done things like this for ages. One way we can improve them is by giving them multiple time steps. Unfortunately they kinda suck at seeing connections over time, so this is expensive. Luckily, transformers were invented! This is a neural network shape that is really good at seeing connections over one dimension, like time, while still being pretty cheap and really easy to do run in parallel (which is how you can go fast nowadays).

With a bunch of extra wiring, transformers also become GPT, i.e. text-based AIs. That’s why they suddenly got way better; they went from being able to see connections with words maybe 3-4 steps back, to recently a literal million. This is basically the only relationship with “AI” this has.

This looks like Wafrn, which has a feature to replace the word “AI” with whatever you want. Probably what was done here!

I can’t tell what this is trying to say. Cus they had a fuckton of those videos already?

Ngl that’s actually a pretty cute apartment. The desk setup is really nice (standing desk, hidden cabling for the screens), everything is clean. The shelf on top with the hourglass and the record player on the right are nice decorations. I wanna live here

A lot of germany has deposits actually, so an extra 25-50 cents on top for cans and glass bottles

They can, but it’s not trivial. The challenge uses a bunch of modern browser features that these scrapers don’t use, regarding metadata and compression and a few other things. Things that are annoying to implement and not worth the effort. Check the recent discussion on lobste.rs if you’re interested in the exact details.

They’re trying to block adblockers again, it seems. I got the “adblockers are not allowed” popup again recently.

Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

Thanks for the names!

That’s… a very good idea. I should do that anyway.

Forgejo for projects and syncthing for data is probably perfect, thank you!

I tried with both, but I didn’t figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it’s in a context menu in nautilus, without it’s in the desktop app).

it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it’s not the right tool for the job here.

I don’t want to “have the folders connected”, I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

I have. It hasn’t worked very well for me, the docs weren’t great (though I’m looking at them now and they do seem better?) and it broke in strange ways.

So… databases? Especially in data centers? Still a nice boost in that case

Somebody added that 80th title and still decided against just making it a free text field

Ugh, my mistake. Meant to reply to https://lemmy.world/comment/14575527 this comment. I was having internet troubles, so I had to try multiple times and musta clicked on the wrong comment at some point.

On the second point… I remember when moss had to make one, because of exactly that issue.

He should have told you that, it really isn’t a new thing. It’s also not an Ada thing, it’s not her fault and it’s really not unreasonable to expect mods to… actually be able to read all reports.

What the fuck? He’s not even president yet. They disappeared for like a day total?

Reality needs to stop being so poorly written this is so on the nose

I’d be willing to do some “grunt mod work” for 196. Actual decision-making and community-building would probably take too much time for me to be reliable on it, but just dealing with reports I could do.

It’s bad. The original question is being used as a… standard conversation piece, here (though I’ve never heard that one IRL, I’m not surprised). Like “How are you”, “good, how about you”, “good” (which is in reality pretty much just a greeting), the person in the meme is saying “i’m sorry, I don’t have an excuse for my behavior” (“sorry I’m crazy”).

The expected response is reassurance on the second part (“no you’re not” to “I’m crazy”), but the received response is reassurance on the first (“it’s okay” to “sorry”). This implies that the other person does believe the first person is crazy, but the first person didn’t actually 100% mean the “I’m crazy” bit, so it’s an accidental insult that the first person can’t actually contest in any way and it hurts more because the other person must believe that for real. Therefore, unpleasant, but keeping it in. Hence the face.

Hope that made some sense!
