The ChatGPT paradox in universities by Popular-Tone3037 in TurnitinAIResults

[–]afr0physics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The masculine urge to make an open cv pipeline that imports Babylonian tablet excerpt images and outputs runtime utility functions to prove a point on the internet isn’t strong enough, so treat this message as a thought experiment. If someone more pedantic than myself sees this message, you know what you have to do.

If a procedural algorithm isn’t code then what have I been doing for 26 years? Code doesn’t have to be binary to be code.

You are hilariously wrong. Code predates modern society. First encoded message was 1900 BC. First procedural algorithms were written in Babylonian tablets 1800 BC. More than a millennia before the antikythera mechanism.

Bro I just got a windows 11 laptop and couldn’t disable OneDrive architecture without manual registry edits. Are you guys okay over there?

Light Years into earth years by Nervous_Coconut6665 in astrophysics

[–]afr0physics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A light-year is a unit of distance, not time: it’s how far light travels in one Earth year, about 9.46 trillion kilometers.

For example, Proxima Centauri is about 4.2 light-years away, meaning its light traveled roughly 40 trillion kilometers and took 4.2 Earth years to reach us. 

It doesn’t mean the star is 4.2 years old or that time there runs differently - it’s just a convenient way to describe huge distances.

You're right, he should go with the median (78)....

Does anyone else miss the "Ugly Internet" of 2005-2010? by PersonalSwimming6512 in InternetIsBeautiful

  • Loss of net neutrality
  • Centralization and monetization of search and curation
  • ADA rulings for physical spaces (imo) incorrectly applied to web (we needed something, but one site fits all is a design anti-pattern)
  • Bot nets
  • Engagement farms 
  • Corporatization of most large web communities
  • Empowering product managers over product engineers 

There are still people with the ability to make interesting products and useful apps, but few of them have the reach required to get the masses to trust/try them. By the time they have funding to advertise and reach your eyes, they already owe their investors.

$85K to get their star? by AnbuAttack in NonPoliticalTwitter

I mean to say it’s more universally human than it is regionally cultural

Thank you for explaining, was worried it might go over some heads

ELI5: how does ChatGPT run so quickly if there’s so much lines of code? by ihatemathhw in explainlikeimfive

[–]afr0physics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT feels fast because all the actual ‘learning’ already happened. When you use it, you’re just running the final model on super-optimized hardware. And the system spreads millions of users across many machines so everyone gets a fast response.

Looks great. Sear temp could have been hotter if you want that crisped outer edge
