  • Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

  • it doesn't train or self-improve like ML does

    I think the training (or fitting) process is comparable to how a support vector machine is trained. It's not iterative like SGD in deep learning, it's closer to the traditional machine learning techniques.

    But I agree that this is a pretty academic discussion, it doesn't matter much in practice.

  • I don't think the number of bots matters much, there are much more real people on Twitter than on Mastodon. It's not an issue for Twitter because they already are the platform where everyone else is. I'm optimistic about Mastodon, it already has the better UX and the better business model and I think it will slowly attract more users over time and eventually reach the relevance that Twitter had at its peak.

  • I think these two fields are very closely related and have some overlap. My favorite procgen algorithm, Wavefuncion Collapse, can be described using the framework of machine learning. It has hyperparameters, it has model parameters, it has training data and it does inference. These are all common aspects of modern "AI" techniques.

  • It works as long as you don't call list() within that function.

  • The difficult thing is gaining users, not writing the code.

  • I've been on Mastodon for over a year and I never experienced anything that could be classified as a technical glitch. From a tech / UI perspective it feels very polished to me.

    I guess the only exception would be that old posts are sometimes missing on profiles from different servers.

  • I wonder how often someone walks in and tells them about the mistake. Do the baristas have a standard response?

  • Slight male navigational advantage likely due to cultural differences, researchers find

  • The NPR article says the opposite of the headline.

    By contrast, the new study found that in a third of societies for which there is data, the women hunt large game. In other words, they do go after the kind of big mammals associated with the stereotype of male hunters.

    Yes, women hunted sometimes, but in 40 of the 60 societies they looked at, women didn't participate in big game hunting at all. In the remaining third, they did find at least one female hunter, but they don't say what the ratio is.

  • Games companies expanded like crazy due to low interest rates and high demand for games during the pandemic. Now interest rates are going up and people go outside again.

  • Gaming voice actors blindsided by 'garbage' union AI deal

    Jump

  • What a weird article. It doesn't say what was agreed and it doesn't say what the voice actors want instead. Voice actor says the deal is "garbage" and the AI company says the deal is "ethical". But what is the actual deal???

  • [Discussion] What are you're thoughts on a Steamdeck with a PSP Go form factor?

  • The GPD Win 4 runs Steam OS. It has a faster processor than the Steam Deck, more storage, higher resolution, etc.

  • Unity is laying off 25% of its workforce in what it's calling a 'company reset'

  • Obviously you can buy and not buy whatever you want, but usually if you're going to boycott a business, you would pick the one whose decisions you disagree with (Unity), not the victims (game developers)

  • They made a decision that is bad for game developers and your response is to punish ... game developers?

  • What is the least shit online store of the shitty ones? such as: Wish, AliExpress, etc..

  • A few years ago, they added the ability to buy/rent ships with ingame money. So it seems that they are willing to deliver features they promised, even when those features compete with their ship sales.
