I’m just gonna say that where I live, it’s a criminal offense to pour oil down the drain.
You’re not just affecting your landlord. You’re affecting your entire neighbourhood.

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists Used AI to Find Hidden Earthquake Signals Along the San Andreas FaultEnglish
1·10 days agoWhat is it you think we’re talking about? This isn’t some LLM. It’s a very specific purposebuilt piece of software to analyse data from earthquakes and recordable shifts in the tectonic plates.

1·11 days agoI 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.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Belgium national team's official social media post after beating the USA national team in the World Cup:"Overturn this"
101·18 days agoIt actually is one of the primary sports for women in the US. And their womens team is one of the best, having won the world cup 4 times, 91, 99, 15 and 19
And for 1 in 4 sportsfans to follow football in the US isnt THAT bad. More than i expected.
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

42·1 month agoSpotify 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.

He’s right though, there i am, working my ass off, deadlines that fall behind and people running left and rightto catch the post-truck with that last minute delivery for the day, and all of a sudden, there we both stand, exhausted, over worked, and just start to furiously make out.
It’s a real problem. And i for one am glad someone is taking this with the seriousness it deserves.
