I’m going all-in on transonic fluid dynamics. All the joy of nonlinear acoustics, with a little navier stokes as a treat.

Blues brothers.

Curating massive music libraries. I’ve been using a small embedding model to organise my music for DJing, and being able to generate a t-sne plot clustered on perceptual similarity has been wonderfully useful.

I’ve also found CLIP models useful for searching videos, just embed a screenshot every couple of min of footage and query with a description of the scene.

And as bad as generated subtitles can be, when the only other option is nothing at all they are pretty nice to have.

Topologically speaking, no. This is clearly a sphere.

Gentoo, patch it out, funroll-all-loops for the memes.

I’ts open source, change the shit you don’t like.

Bloodmouths and cheese breathers should be factory farmed

Sorry, best we have is neutrino :(

Bingo, modern datasets are a list of URL’s with metadata rather than the files themselves. Every new team/individual wanting to work with the dataset becomes another DDoS participant.

Years of auto update paranoia paid off for me, never trust an executable that doesn’t give you a hash to check.

I’m going to throw my own thoughts in on this. I got into machine learning around 2015, back when relu activations were still bleeding edge innovations, and got out around 2020 for honestly pretty similar reasons.

Emotions can and have been used as optimisation targets. Engagement is an ever present target. And in the framework of capitalism, one optimisation targets rules above all others; alignment with continued use. It’s part of what leads to the bootlicking LLM phenomenon. For the average human, it drives future engagement.

The real danger isn’t the newer language models, or anything really to do with neural net architecture; rather, it’s the fact that we’ve found that a simple function minimisation strategy can be used to approximate otherwise intractable functions. The deeper you research, the more clear it becomes that any arbitrary objective can be optimised, given a suitable function approximator and enough data to fit the approximator accurately.

Human minds are also universal function approximators.

Dragonflies aren’t real

Nooch gang nooch gang

For sim racing games, it’s actually pretty helpful for being able to look around, check mirrors etc.

Outside of that it feels pretty gimmicky

Beans, toast, wilted spinach, fried tomato, sauteed mushrooms and onion, all sprinkled with thyme and served with a big cup of coffee.

Not something I’d eat every day, but if I’m doing stage setup for a festival with back to back shifts? That brekkie will keep you going a good 10 hours.

There is another…

(There are dozens of us, I swear)

SNW at least had some bangers, the Elysium kingdom episode captured that TNG magic

Hmm, CIFS document provider on fdroid might work?

set up a local VPN on your NAS/file server and add your phone to the VPN. Next, map a local drive on your phone to the NAS. Dunno if you can do that on iOS, but at least on android you can. Disable modify and delete permissions on the NAS folder, so that the phone can only write/read from it, then use a camera app that lets you choose the save location and set it to record video to the network drive. Requires a pretty solid connection, but is extremely robust.
