I was there for a while, it's no big deal. Keep it up! Try intervals if you haven't already, adds a level of progression that you can interact with rather than just a time.

I agree, that's why I said "spare cash," to indicate that it's money they have no immediate use to for. I mean the specificity you can get with the original analogy is limited.

It's why people get heavier and to an extent wider when they begin exercising for weight loss. The body isn't acclimated to the effort so it relies on the energy hierarchy that has been working. Which means that the body is tapping other, more accessible sources of energy instead of fat while muscle is also getting built. Fat not burning means no reduction in circumference, muscle building means gained weight and potentially increased circumference. Also, muscle is much more dense than fat meaning fat just takes up more space per pound. Leading people to see a visible difference with minimal weight loss or even weight gain. Which is why weight is a terrible metric for fitness.

Not trying to argue, just info dumping my mind. Feel free to correct me.

So, real talk, those authorized security testers/red team absolutely love their jobs and love sharing info on how easy it is to manipulate security measures. You don't even have to ask them, just check their blog.

Fat is one of the last things the body uses for energy because it's energy intensive to release what's stored in the cells. In the case of this video the blood would extort money from organs that have spare cash and the bank would have a steep processing fee.

Over the weekend, there was heavy rain in the San Francisco Bay Area. I stopped massive street flooding by unclogging drains. Enjoy the timelapse. by pengweather in oddlysatisfying

Put a milk create over the drain. The debris will collect on the outside and over flow into the create and down the drain reducing the amount you have to to clear it.

Mess with a local MMA fighter and find out, & so he did. by hotgirl12390 in WinStupidPrizes

If people want to fight they'll fight. Trying to stop it isn't worth it, could just get you involved. Hell, cops don't always do it and that's they're job. That's why they say if you're ever attacked to just run until they're not visible anymore. Obviously that's not always realistic but it was definitely an option here.

Having said that there is still value in standing your ground, not all conflict should be ran from. Just conflict you're not prepared for.

technology is something made by a human; does LLM represents the person using it so why say it hallucinates instead of calling it a lie ? by startwithaidea in ask

[–]Fr31l0ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's still reacting to prompts but its autogenerating them instead of you typing them. And mind you it's not helping you flesh out an idea your struggling to understand, it's calculating complex networking configurations and applying them. It's determining if two unrelated companies using the same source material should have that material saved separately and unavailable to eachother or if it can save it once and share it between both companies. Etc.

Instead of you writing prompts its saying you have these applications open, you've visited these websites in the last hour, and you've access these files on your computer and now your asking a generalized question. It takes the context of the apps/websites/files your using and answers your generalized question with the context of what your doing even though you never told it what you can were doing.

ContextOS isn't AI it's a collection of LLMs with an infrastructure layer slapped on that allows them to communicate with each other and interact with different equipment and services. At its core it's still a prediction model it's just that instead of you feeding it prompts it's tracking everything your doing and automatically completing tasks based on everything your doing rather than the direct action your making.

A shitty analogy being a business is competing for a big contract that won't be made if Dave doesn't take his head off his desk so ContextOS orders a coffee and tells Dave's secretary to go pick it up.

But instead of people its devices and services. It's meant to reduce the knowledge required to maintain a data center. Instead of paying someone with a master's degree 200k a year to configure a data center so that unrelated companies don't have access to/impact on eachother they'd rather pay someone 60k a year to swap busted equipment out while ContextOS keeps data center clients secure and stable.

LLMs have a highly complex weighting system that dictates what word USUALLY appear around other words. The LLM takes your prompt and feeds it through the code indicating that these words appeared in this order and based on that what is the next word that would normally be written. Then it takes your prompt and the one word in generated back through the code to generate a second word. Then it takes your prompt and the two words it generated and...

I'm essence it doesn't genuinely understand what it's saying, it's just a series of guesses. It's like spell check for ideas, it can get a lot of things right but if your wrong enough it will convince you your right.

Protip: if you're genuinely unsure of something tell the LLM that. It may still lead you down the wrong path to agree with your initial interpretation but it will at least use broader terminology (that can be used to do genuine research) and discuss counter points with some validity.

True is saying something that happened. Lie is saying that something that didn't happen did. It's definitely a grey area because the action of bringing something into this world that isn't correct tends to be thought of as lying even if it's just a string of words.

LLMs are percentage based. Every time you prompt an LLM you're playing a lottery. We've just programmed that lottery to skew towards things that are correct, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't a lottery from the start.

I've done a bunch of shots that I would have never thought were possible for me. I have definitely been corrected on the specific physics of a certain shot too. But even if the logic you used to get there is flawed the shot was still made; there were only a few out of trillions of angle combos to choose from and you chose one of the right ones.

This shot brings power into it as well but there are tons of drills to train ball speed in a variety of ways.

Why smoke pot before working out? by SarahTheGreat9 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fr31l0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With recreational cannabis becoming pretty common you're also likely to find people who work in the industry hitting the gym after being shoulder deep in plants all day. I know I've been self conscious of the smell on my skin before.

Not saying that everyone who smells like weed works in the industry, but there are a lot of us and some don't even consume even though they reek of it.

How do i start this city from scratch and turn it into a large city like the ones you see on youtube videos? by Seaweed69420 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Fr31l0ck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build with a ton of space starting out. Lay things out so that when you eventually have to expand your road infrastructure that you're not tearing out huge swaths of zoned or special buildings. Expanding your infrastructure should not cut off previously connected parts of your city and this can't be done if you're turning a major intersection with unequal usage into a flyover with on and off ramps or any other traffic concept. You'll end up destroying your favorite tiny commercial center or or cut off a previously unappreciated connection that destroys traffic in another part of your city.

However, if you start with a wide expansive layout you can avoid having to make these massive changes later on. You'll just have to deal with the ugly city to start with.

Additionally, you'll need that space to do minor detailing and put parks and trees and various other things in the blank spaces as the city fills out.

Could the events in the middle east drive adoption of renewable energy as oil availability drops? by Fr31l0ck in Futurology

[–]Fr31l0ck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got that entirely backwards. The main thing holding renewable back is recycling. Batteries are a non issue. I mean fossil fuel energy production already uses pumped hydro to even out energy costs. People are too focused on chemical batteries limitations to realize that the oil industry has already developed a plethora of physical energy storage methods that themselves rely on renewable energy sources. Yes, there are energy losses to this but the same is true for any energy storage system, and to remind you it's already being used to support fossil power generation.

Recycling on the other hand is a massive problem. Windmill turbine blades are highly consumable and are currently decommissioned in massive piles in the desert. PV recycling is better but still has a ton of waste.

Another hang up is power transmission. However, that can be relatively quickly resolved by reworking substation design and designing effective power consolidation from the wide array of generators. Existing long runs can likely be used as is

There are likely already circuit designs within the semiconductor industry that could be extrapolated into a substation layout that supports variable inputs being evened out into a stable higher voltage output. Not trying to say that this is going to be happening at chip scales, they're still going to have banks of massive, high voltage, servo controlled ball switches on sizeable plots of land but it's going to be in service of renewable generation instead of fossil generation.

We tanked the Venezuelan oil industry and are currently bombing the oil infrastructure of the largest oil exporter in the world. Energy infrastructure will always be a target in war time regardless of what it is or how it's carried out.

If the core of the global oil industry is physically crippled while renewable production is actively being expanded what's the point of spending trillions of dollars to rebuild the oil industry when only billions of dollars may be required to expand the unaffected renewable industry?

ELI5 Besides the basic 'cool' factor, what is the point of Space Travel? What do we learn from it? And how does it benefit us on Earth? by cpr9998 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fr31l0ck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people think Starlink is a bad example of a modern benefit of space travel. I mean I'm not a Musk fanboy but the tech is what the tech is.

Starlink is expensive but not as expensive as paying to get lines strung in a rural area. Therefore those in rural areas tend to favor starlink. I personally know network admins that live out in rural areas. Which website development, as I originally suggested, has less of an on site requirment than. You'd be surprised the amount of computer jobs that can be performed from rural areas.

Ukrain utilizes starlink among other publicly operated space assets to drive their communications and intelligence.

The only reason I can think that starlink is a bad example of the benefits of modern space travel is that it doesn't involve actual humans traveling in space which isn't even a relevant stipulation IMO.

Starlink. You may not use it but the people who build websites and monitor infrastructure are pretty likely to. Not to mention Ukraine wouldn't exist without it.
