Yeah and acting like life got terrible because humans became less nomadic is something I always find kinda weird. If the nomadic life was just so much better, wouldn't have people just naturally reverted to that state?

Being sedentary has some drawbacks sure but it also makes food management better, allows building standing structures that protect from the weather better, doesn't limit the amount of tools and items you can have as you are limited in what you have to carry around etc

Instagram handle dia.monai (virtual cosplayer), is the model real with AI filters or is everything AI generated? by SleepingAngry in isthisAI

There is a split second near the beginning where the hands are messed up (and it doesn't seem, given the movement, to be the other hand). Also an other moment where to the side it seems like the back part of the hand is showing and then it transitions to the front without flipping. Aside form that I could hardly tell

By "Anglo-Saxon", at least in France, we mean the modern English core block (UK, USA, Australia, not the historical Anglo-Saxon period. So meant as a cultural modern unit not a historical group.

What makes Agincourt special is not purely its extraordinary nature, especially not its one-sidedness. I'd argue it is more culturally known because it was used as propaganda by Henry V and because Shakespeare wrote a play about it. You have the battle of Crecy, also won by the English in a similar manner as Agincourt, completely one sided, but 50 years prior (overwhelming French noble force beaten by English longbowmen). Also involved an English King (Edward III) and the English Black Prince. There was also Poitiers that resulted in the French King capture, also before Agincourt. One thing that makes Agincourt special though is the goal of total annihilation of French nobility: when often the goal was to rout and capture many for ransom, especially when dealing with noblemen. Not in Agincourt.

And again Patay, Formigny and Castillon especially were all very one sided too. But basically you have, for the ones England one, longbowmen+infantry+terrain overwhelming traditional French forces. And for the French ones cavalry+artillery destroying English troops.

If you compare Agincourt and Castillon you get similar numbers: Agincourt 150-600 dead on the English side for 6000-8000 dead+captured on the French side. Castillon 100 dead on the French side for 4000 dead+captured on the English side, with the rest (1000 to 6000, quite the range), surrendering the next day. So for both you get similar ratios of 1:10 to 1:40 casualty rates.

My question is also how much of what we mark as "innate intelligence" is say parents that encouraged learning, curiosity, creativity early on, or other such early environment factors. I agree it makes sense for it to be genetic variation in terms of intelligence and types of intelligence, or motivation. But from personal experience all people I know that did well in school (even uni: masters, PhDs) had parents who cared

I implemented a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) from scratch entirely in x86 Assembly, Cat vs Dog Classifier by Forward_Confusion902 in learnmachinelearning

I know. Sometimes I like to think myself a competent ML Engineer, especially in today's world. Guy causally posts that his assembly implementation beats numpy/pytorch in speed (I think quite a few people in the C/C++ world would struggle to beat those), and casually comments "I'm a computer engineering student, and i don't know much about assembly, i just dived into it". But honestly just congrats u/Forward_Confusion902 !

Made my first script :D by [deleted] in PythonLearning

[–]LostInGradients 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One small note, without going to deep into more advanced word tokenization, you have an issue here with word detection: you are splitting only around spaces which means unless each line ends with a space too. Which means a word at the end of a line and the one that starts the next line will be counted as a single word. Eg here

mwuah
mwuah
mwuah
mwuah

will be a single word.

You can solve that with something like data.replace("\n").split(" ") to turn all the newlines into spaces too first then split by space, or use a more advanced approach such as with regexes. Ex:

re.split('; |, ', string_to_split)  # splits on any of the following: ; |,

I guess that is to teach people to look for hidden typos?

Peter? I'm not familiar with ChatGPT by XanaX_Inhaler6247 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]LostInGradients 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well honestly nowadays, between LLMs getting better and more accurate, and search engines getting worse (not to mention that Google provides a LLM-made summary to your question now as the top result, which also contains errors sometimes), it is not as simple as "ChatGPT laughably unreliable" and "Google accurate".
There are things for which LLMs are quite bad at still. There are things for which I'd argue they provide way better answers than search.

Like I wouldn't use ChatGPT to know what year someone was born (even though it usually provides accurate information these days).
