Strong Mad

It sounds plausible!

I think I’m supposed to say “gl” and then the vocal equivalent of “asdfasdfasdf”

All English town names, by spite and ignorance but mostly spite.

Oh, I am not pronounching “Glouchestershire” correctly? SPELL it correctly then!

There is no one solution that applies to multiple unspecified problems.

Pick a specific one if you want actual discussions and answers.

The (true) joke at the time was that it was like a swimming pool with a little corner marked “no peeing zone”.

It will feel mundane and we will be mostly concerned with daily struggles.

Remember that we’re living in our predecessors exciting future.

Oh, nice! I had the same question in my head a few times, so going to check out Piefed.

Sometimes it’s the noise of tagalong comments, and sometimes it’s discussing with rude or unhinged people where I really try to be helpful and polite with them but fuck if I want to get upset during my bedtime poop session by getting a notification and reading what they have to say.

Yeah, funding is kinda not. I assumed the question was ignoring that, but I may have been mistaken.

Tsetlin machines are the ones I found most interesting. Strict yes/no logic stuff in the actual decision model, while the deeper complexity is in the training.

One interesting science field is “discrete AI” (probably has a few other names) which basically technically means “based on integers instead of floating point numbers”. It has a few more implications on the models being more mathematically clean, but that’s a long paragraph if I get into it.

The expecations are AI that is not based on absurd computing resources and black boxes, but getting the same benefits from low-power low-cost hardware and with outputs that can be more realistically queried to explain why the output became what it was.

E.g. if AI is used to make decisions on when to feed fish, and it feeds slightly too much, you’d want to be able to ask “why” and get a useful answer instead of today’s “yeah idunno magic computer said so i guess training data lol”

Norway is quite literal: The way north.

It used to describe the coastline full of seaside trading towns before someone got the idea to make it a country.

The literalness also shows up in all the names for places in the country. They are 90% old spellings of “The place where people live”, “the field for cows to feed on”, “the settlement at the north of the fjord”, “upper farm”, “valley settlement”, and like 1837 places called “a place you can live”.

Sometimes, the feeling of “how big” a thing is, is extremely attractive. It is easy to fall into a trap of enjoying the bigness so much that it makes absurdly unfounded but attractively dramatic outcomes feel more “correct” than boring but realistic ones.

Keep that in mind when thinking about AI

Whut

Are you jealous people who aren;t bothered by those errors?

Resistance to shifting grammar annoys me.

Educated linguists know really well that language changes over time. It is natural and expected. There are also living valid variations of grammar outside standardized “book” grammar.

People who are zero educated just go with whatever.

People who are half educated juuuust enough to be smartasses but not enough to be smart will say shit like “I don’t know, can you?” in response to “Can I go to the bathroom”. Or pretend an emphasized negation - aka double negative - can be interpreted as a positive.

I hope the word “natural” in rubber doesn’t cause the illusion that it is safe.

Natural rubber is pretty bad if you are allergic to it, and repeated exposure increases risk of developing allergy.

But that’s minor anyway. The process used to create/extract the material and create the product can add toxicants for both rubber and silicone.

Then check for degradability. Anything that degrades develops cracks and pores, i.e. bacteria breeding grounds.

Make sure you pick “food grade” or “cosmetic grade”, and either pick should be perfectly safe.

Take a bag of those pebers and dump them in a bottle of vodka. Let them dissolve overnight. Bring to a party and you will be instant friend of any scandinavian.

That may have been one of the Scandinavian countries. Sorry.

If you have any leftover, plz send.

Edit: Not our fault this time, but thanks for the tip!

Covertly recruiting a person on another team to start a small project that was in direct opposition to a project my team had planned to start on in a few months and aligned with all relevant stakeholders. He …disagreed… with it so his solution was to make this other thing happen and then there would be no room for our project when we were going to start.

Yes, there was liuqid hellfire when we found out. He kept his position as CTO for a few more years. Eventually he pissed off his own boss too many times and got fired very hard.
