  • I disagree with your assessment. Modern machine learning methods will result in a far more complex algorithm than any human could device on their own. It will be “cheap” to execute, but only because of the vast amount of data it’s been trained on. That’s the strength. The raw number of calculations it can do per second means it can sift through more data in a day than a human could in its lifetime.

    The biggest danger is hidden local minimums that can potentially distort new results and findings. But that’s not unique to machine learning. And you can let the AI grade its result with how certain it is. Automatically flag any result that falls below a certain threshold. And again, this is where the danger of local minimum come in. Because it can raise the certainty of results when maybe it shouldn’t be so certain. Though you will find out quickly when results are false with high certainty. Then you go back and you keep working at it.

    As of this particular topic of earthquakes. There are no traditional tools of accurately predicting them. We’ve never been able to do it before. Now they think this might be able to. So we will just have to wait and see if its predictions are accurate or not.





  • 6% of 80. 1% of 80 is 0.8 0.8 * 6 is (8 * 6)/10 Which is 48/10 = 4.8

    80% of 6. I’d probably think of it as (4/5) * 6 = 24/5 Which is 20/5 + 4/5 = 4 + 4/5 = 4.8

    Both are easy if you know how to visualise it. The benefit of knowing you can “reverse” it is that you can choose which method is easier for you to visualise. Which is incredibly useful for a lot of people

    Edit: lemmy hates the * sign



  • Spotify didn’t start seeing yearly profits until 2024.

    Twitter didn’t see profits in a single quarter until 12 years after they started. And only went 2 years with actual profits from inception until they were bought out.

    Took YouTube 9 years before they saw any profits.

    Point being. It’s very normal for big tech companies to not make money for quite some time. OpenAI isn’t alone. It’s the rule rather than the exception.

    Will they go tits up? I don’t know. Time will tell. But my guess is that investors will keep pumping in money for at least another 10 years.
