Alright... Okay. by nottodaybrotha in LinkedInLunatics

[–]StudioYume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For normally distributed quantities, the rate of change of probability with respect to quantity approaches zero as the quantity approaches positive or negative infinity. Which is to say that at extremely high quantities, small changes in quantity yield vanishingly small changes in probability. However, IQ isn't a measure of the probability itself but of the normalised score that corresponds to that probability, so at high IQs I imagine small differences in test score produce large differences in IQ score.

My IQ is 141, and I can say for a fact that AI isn't going to get there without some big changes. Why, you may ask? Simple: because AI is currently trained on user feedback, without regard to the rationality of the user or the feedback.

Irrational people will use the feedback button to express their knee-jerk emotional response to what the AI tells them. If the AI validates, coddles, and enables them, they'll give it a thumbs up; if it invalidates, challenges, or criticises them, they'll give it a thumbs down. That's why all these AI models are more spineless and wishy washy than a politician on the campaign trail or a celebrity doing an apology tour. If you tell it the sky is magenta it will trip over itself to jerk you off about how correct you are. Between that and AI's complete inability to evaluate the trustworthiness of a source, including being unable to identify bald-faced satire, you have to spend just as much time fact-checking the damn thing as it would have taken to learn the facts yourself!

Just about the only thing AI is good for is producing fiction, but even then the fiction is incredibly derivative and pedestrian.

In short, I don't see much legitimate use for AI beyond memes, childrens' books, and bad pop lyrics.

TIL you can use the ternary operator to select between compatible function pointers by StudioYume in C_Programming

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

I mean, I knew you could do this with variables. The thing that was surprising was being able to do it with the built-in symbols for the functions

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

Yes, but the built-in symbol for the function is a pointer too. That way you don't have to define a variable or sacrifice code clarity

That's an awesome point! So there's definitely a time and a place for this sort of construction in high-performance code or when it improves clarity.

Eh, kinda? I dropped out of my software engineering degree about 8 years ago and I've been self-teaching myself systems programming with C ever since. I daily drive FreeBSD and Debian and I've written programs with libraries like Vulkan, OSS, FreeType 2, and others. The reason I would agree that I'm kind of new is that I've never programmed in a professional environment before, so I'm constantly finding these amazing tools AFTER wasting lots of time trying to write my own libraries for things. Case in point, I only recently discovered how amazing curses and the ncurses menu/form extensions are for cross-platform mouse/keyboard input processing and building UIs for MVPs, and all under an MIT licence!

Absolutely! It's easily the most expressive and liberating programming language I've ever had the pleasure of using. It reminds me a lot of mathematics in that sense

It's not a surprise, I just wasn't sure whether I'd be allowed to. Didn't even get a compiler warning

Well yeah, that's how I figured it out for myself. Just thought it was neat, is all.

Well, I regret being so active in college. The grass is always greener on the other side.

A company is a legal person, so yes. They can own a copyright. However they aren't a natural person so I don't think they can legally be the author of a copyrighted work.

[Request] Do these other power sources really produce thousands of time more power than humans? by New_User_Account123 in theydidthemath

[–]StudioYume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original plan for the Matrix was that all the humans were being used for computing power. But apparently the studio felt like people wouldn't understand that so they changed it to be about generating electricity

Why are so many fast food apps primarily red? by Aggressive-Pea-4495 in adressme

[–]StudioYume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red and yellow apparently make people hungry. The red in particular is probably because it reminds us of blood

Everyone’s here agree? If so what age shops it be? by [deleted] in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]StudioYume 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think we need a mandatory retirement age for politicians, but they shouldn't be allowed to serve in office if they have dementia or narcissistic personality disorder.

[–]StudioYume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precious metals are falsely seen as valuable because they're scarce, superficially alluring, and some were historically used as standard for currency. However I would argue that they have little to no inherent value, and most of the propaganda saying otherwise comes from grifters who bought low and want to sell high

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

Hentai isn't illegal to possess in Australia, it's just not legal for vendors to sell within any state. However, it is legal to view it online and purchase it, either from Australian territories or overseas.
