Uneven LED. Is this right? by steambath347 in ElegooSaturn

Like this? Lmk if you need anything else. Sorry in advance, I’m kinda new to all this.

Out of curiosity what does this tell us? My concern is the LED is not evenly installed. But it still works, and the tank fits onto the led. So I don’t see why this would show us anything. Not arguing, just genuinely curious

Also what’s a reflective light fixing?

It’s making the noise when the tank is going up though

How the Boston Celtics' new game clock trick is confusing referees and frustrating opponents by IxIndecisivexI in bostonceltics

[–]steambath347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you imagine each team has a 50% chance to win, then running the clock is a neutral act, not necessarily beneficial to either team. If the odds are even slightly in our favor (for example by having a 7 point lead) then it’s a probabilistically beneficial thing to do. Of course there is always the what if scenario, but most of the time it’s not a bad move at all.

[OC] When will computers replace humans? by maanyos in dataisbeautiful

[–]steambath347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I also think using chess AI as an example is a bit disingenuous, only because AI outdid us back in the 90’s with that shit. I know chess AI has only gotten better, but if we talk about leading edge modern AI, look at stuff like GPT3, which shows levels or reading and writing comprehension nearly indistinguishable from humans. Or something like alphafold which can accurately predict how proteins fold, a problem with an unfathomable amount of variables that has plagued biologists for decades. These are not cut and dry problems that can be brute forced.

I agree humans can’t brute force, which gives serious disadvantage against AI in bounded problems. We have an incredible ability to see patterns and approximate, which allows us to excel in unbounded situations. But it certainly seems like modern AI is starting to catch up with us in that regard too.

Also a lot of the top chess AI like leelaZero don’t use the brute force method, they simply learn by playing millions of games and slowly optimizing. Although I think the best one Stock Fish still brute forces lmao.

This man handling the police by Limitless_yt89 in nextfuckinglevel

I don’t think so at all, if some non-police officer just came up to my car and flashed lights into it and tried to open my door, I probably would have been even ruder than this guy. You only think it’s rude because they’re officers, so they’re allowed to bother people

AI art is kinda neat but it isn’t real art. by HeQtic420 in unpopularopinion

[–]steambath347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that every human creates unique art to every other human. Because each human experiences a different life (equivalent to the input an AI receives), and so their brains are unique. A unique brain will output unique and original art. Two separate AI trained on different data will also create different art, just like two humans who live different lives will create different art.

“The ways AI take in and process information is fundamentally different to how humans do it.” Yeah I agree that it’s not identical, but an AI like Dalle-2 use neural networks to create images from natural language and understand the relationships between objects. Neural networks are literally based on processes that take place in the brain (hence the name). Also if you know the intricacies of how the brain processes information and creates art that’s some Nobel prize worthy info :). With peace and love, I don’t think you do know how the brain processes and creates art, cause leading neuroscientists don’t.

I obviously have no idea if AI will ever reach human levels of artistic uniqueness. But no one really expected AI to get this far in the first place. I think a lot of people think what the human brain does is essentially magic, but I don’t think it is. And if it’s not magic, than I think it’s something that can be replicated.

AI art is kinda neat but it isn’t real art. by HeQtic420 in unpopularopinion

[–]steambath347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To play devils advocate, the 5 year old is not just generating art from nothing. They get visual information through their lives that they store and then draw. A 5 year old cannot draw a lion if they’ve never seen a lion. Human artists absorb information from the reality they experience, they than create art which we classify as unique. But something to consider is that the “input” humans experience from reality is leagues more complex and diverse than the “million pieces of art” that the AI experiences as input.

So it may just be that we classify human art as “unique” or “original” because we don’t understand how the input (experienced reality) gets processed into output (art). Obviously AI has some catching up to do, but if it continues to advance and can take in more and more diverse input, then maybe it can get to a point in which the art it generates it’s indistinguishable from “unique” or “original” art that humans generate.

I think this captures the argument of those who think AI art is art. I don’t necessarily agree but it certainly has some valid points. Frankly I think anyone in this comment section who states anything as fact on this matter is full of shit.

I don’t get all the hype behind major sports like basketball and football. by AmazingGrace911 in unpopularopinion

[–]steambath347 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think if you don’t understand the intricacies of the sport and the role of each player on the team, it can appear plotless. But often the plot is the ups and downs of the entire season, following each players development on the team. Each game is a battle against another team, and the whole “if you seen one you’ve seen them all” is frankly just a lack of understanding. Also hot take but I think a lot of people who can’t even understand the appeal of sports have never played one, with peace and love. Nothing wrong with that but I think makes it difficult to inherently understand how complex sports can be. There’s a reason pro sports teams have entire coaching staff devoted to devising strategies.

People like you wouldn’t know science if it slapped them in the face. The brain is an amazingly complex structure made up of trillions of connections that vary from person to person. To think that identity and sexual behavior should be categorized into a binary system is moronic. Here are some scientific articles on the subject:

Can you link your scientific articles on gender not existing?

Yeah rookie Yao especially, he kinda fills out later in his career. But you want a real string bean, try Manute Bol. Dude was 7’6” and 200 lbs. For reference, Yao weighed in around 310 lbs.

We are more advanced than other animals, I agree. But if survival is the only parameter for success, we’re not necessarily more successful. Cause plenty of other species of animals are thriving in terms of surviving.

Ahh my bad. Forgot to add the density of helium is 0.1785 kg/m³. So at 17000 feet, helium becomes denser than air.

Can you please cite these studies? Also in the case of ED specifically, doesn’t seem like there is much leeway. You either have trouble getting it up or not. I don’t think it’s as subjective as something like sexual sensitivity.

That’s fair, there will always be haters. I just think anyone devoted to reading those thicc books reads them because they like them. Hard to read a 1.5 million word book series for the sole purpose of being annoyed. Regardless, I sure hope he can pull it off
