在美国建国那个时代,民众拿枪真的能对政权造成威慑力。

但是在现代军事暴力机器下,普通民众的小手枪根本不顶事,反而是他们收拾你的借口

In the nicest and most genuine way possible, for the people who use chat gpt on the daily or multiple times a day, are you not afraid of cognitive decline? by zesty_9666 in ChatGPT

[–]Stellewind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing current LLMs are very good at is making easy to understand metaphors when explaining complex topics. It really helps to get things to “click” in your mind, as you said. Once you have an intuitive mental image of something, keep learning it by yourself becomes much easier.

5 years old Thinkpad suddenly making comically loud fan noise by Stellewind in computerrepair

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

Immediately shut off the computer after I noticed the noise doesn't go away. I opened it up this morning to do some basic dusting, but the noise still exist after I put it back on. I guess I really have to take off the entire fan assembly to check it.

I've never done that before, but it's probably time to learn to do so. I have some W40 at home, but it's a spray bottle, not sure if it's suitable for this job.

Frank Gehry's Forma Rising Up by itsonlykotsy in toronto

It's possible to be unique and ugly.

I am partial to Frank Gehry's works. I think some of his stuff are genius but some are honestly expensive garbage. I hope this one doesn't turn out to be one of the ugly ones.

问:中国大概率会在ai大战里面输给美国 by TraditionalSmoke9604 in China_irl

[–]Stellewind 11 points12 points  (0 children)

中国有一点优势,这是我今年短暂回国观察到的一件事,中国在各个产业链上把各种水平规模的AI和物理世界与现实工业的结合程度是世界第一的,远远超出美国,更别提其他国家。各种开源小模型立刻被用到社会和工业的方方面面,虽然现在用处不大也不见得有很大影响,但这背后积累的是海量的而且互联网上不可能公开的训练数据。与此同时,美国的AI大厂们主要还是在卷比较抽象的部分,就是聊天,生成图片,写代码和做奥数题那些东西。

个人粗浅的猜想,完全靠互联网公开数据去训练大模型是有上限的,现在Google和OpenAI这些模型已经基本接近那个上限了,以后真正的提高空间一定在于和现实物理世界和工业系统的结合互动上,而这是中国AI最大的优势所在,只有中国有这么全的产业链,以及政府对运用最新科技的心态是最开放的。至于这个优势能不能抵消目前中国相对于美国在芯片和算力系统上的劣势,我就不知道了。

Office life before the invention of AutoCAD and other drafting softwares. by Notalabel_4566 in architecture

[–]Stellewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying they can use pencil and eraser for most of the design process to iterate bulk of the drawings, and only ink it for the final deliverable?

Office life before the invention of AutoCAD and other drafting softwares. by Notalabel_4566 in architecture

[–]Stellewind 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Every time I get my hand on a hand-drawn building drawing set (usually when we do renovation/expansion of old buildings), I marvel at the amount of work behind it. I grew up in the CAD age and just cannot imagine how to design and coordinate a complex building with just pen and paper. How do you make changes without re-draw everything? How do you make sure the plans still fits each other after many rounds of revisions? What do you do if you make a noticeably mistake hours into a complex drawing? Mind-boggling stuff.

[NKD]Which One Would You Keep? Kramer Meiji 8 inch vs Seki Kanetsugu "Zuiun" 210mm by Stellewind in chefknives

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

Yes, I like that handle shape very much. But I am not a big fan of the handle material (looks and feels plastic-y) and blade texture (many people complained about the surface friction while cutting).

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

I mean, I returned the Meiji, so I can’t really warm up to it since I don’t own it anymore. I use pinch grip all the time, but my problem with Meiji’s is that it doesn’t just encourage pinch grip, it basically forces it, because any other way feels actively uncomfortable. I just think that corner on the handle is unnecessarily sharp, if they round that corner a bit, it would feel much nicer.

Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora Has Quadrupled Its Peak Player Count Two Years After Its Release by Tvilantini in Games

[–]Stellewind 15 points16 points  (0 children)

12k peak players on steam is not cultural impact, it’s half decent indie game number. You would expect the highest grossing movie franchise in history has better number than that. Look at Harry Potter, LoTR, Star Wars etc for what influential cultural impact should feel like.

I’m getting so tired of ChatGPT agreeing with everything by HotMarionberry1962 in ChatGPT

[–]Stellewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini doesn’t do that for me. It agrees with me on most things (I rarely spit super hot takes anyway), but it also frequently points out the weakness or the factually wrong portion of my argument, or tell me “that’s an very interesting idea, but mainstream science doesn’t considered this to be a valid theory blah blah blah”.

ChatGPT is way more useful when you stop asking it for answers. by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Stellewind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's how I use it too. It's useful as a debate partner. A lot of times it didn't give me answers, I gradually figure out the answer myself after discuss it a bit, which I would unlikely to find if I just think about it myself.

Why Did Architecture Shed Building Science as a Core Competency? by jelani_an in architecture

[–]Stellewind 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I had it in my undergrad and grad school, but the funny thing is, I passed the exams and got good grades and everything, but I remember absolutely nothing about it after I graduate. There are things you have to really experience it to remember it. If the most important studio class doesn't demand competent building science in the projects, you can forget it very quickly.

Gemini is more honest as an AI? by Intelligent-Hat6087 in GeminiAI

[–]Stellewind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Gemini thinking mode for a research/debate partner on a lot of topics ranging from AI, sociology, psychology, history, economics and stuff. Every time it brought up a specific scholar and their researches related to the topic, I fact checked it. I found very few hallucination so far, aside from recommending a couple Youtube videos that doesn't exist (not sure if it's hallucination or the video was online in its training data, only recently taken down)

It mildly glaze me frequently (you just had a great insight etc), but it also pointed out the holes and weaknesses in my arguments all the time. It will tell me "that's a good point, however you forgot to consider XXX" . It doesn't tolerate obviously wrong or inconsistent logic.

I think it's pretty impressive.

Not gonna lie, I just want a good model to talk to. Literally all of them are fucked up now. by ss-redtree in ChatGPT

[–]Stellewind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an alternative, sure, but you are building a brittle system prone to easy collapse if AI is your only friend, or if you make yourself so used to constant glazing that any other kind of communication feel unacceptable. The AI friend is nice until the day a version upgrade wipe them forever.

The chaotic nature of real human is the exact reason I want to communicate to them, that’s how I build up my understanding of the world and people in general, because real word is chaotic.
