  • I found they stopped selecting me for surveys once I got close to the £50… Now I’m glad as the ownership of YouGov is basically Tories.

  • I’ve only seen her when she wanted to sell her book on speed-running losing an election.

    She could be on TV and podcasts, 24/7 presenting the alternative and pointing out all the ways Trump is breaking the law and conning the country.

  • *since 2012 including “Public Sector Officials”

    I hate Palantir, but this makes it sound like they have just gone on a hiring spree of The Labour cabinet, which is false. We’re talking about 14 years worth of corruption, but no names or dates are given.

  • He just uploaded orcaslicer to the FULU GitHub and invited Bambu to sue him instead… I’m ordering popcorn in bulk for this one 🍿

  • Can you see the irony of us having a nuanced debate which is leading to misunderstanding, because we are using a medium where detail and emphasis are difficult to achieve? 😀

    My assumption of my mushroom identification program was they it would become widely available, which would be unethical.

    In the hands of a trained Mycologist using it purely as a check on their established results. Possibly useful but easy to misuse.

    A Mycologist using the program to perform the identification first, which they would then check, also dangerous as human factors would lead to confirmation bias.

    AI systems inevitably lead to overconfident conclusions from people without the time or knowledge to know the potential risks.

  • Well I did study for 5 years, code the AI myself and spent 4 months training it using screensaver processing on ~800 computers. Not like I downloaded an AI from the play store and declared it to be rubbish. 😀

    Even with reinforcement learning from human feedback, this is still a neural network where not every pathway leads to the correct outcome.

    Regardless of all the complexities people are still far more accepting of human error than AI error in extreme situations.

  • Now I don’t profess to remember the entire paper, but one section was certainly “Human factors” the difference between an expert is a human can place emphasis on the dangers above all else which an AI is often incapable of portraying, and the car will still have a human driver.

    The whole point was this was a very limited and narrow language model, with AI image recognition with the assumption that the thing the human was describing and picturing is a mushroom and it’s still fallible. Specifically a mushroom identification program is a really bad idea and absolutely unethical to create, a system that answers any question you ask it where you sort out the guardrails as you go… that’s dangerous.

  • I’ve said this on Lemmy a few times before but 25+ years ago my AI dissertation was on a mushroom identification algorithm, which concluded that even with all the computing power in the world it would not be possible to create an infallible system, and as such was wholly unethical to create, when the cost of failure is death.

    25 years later and AI is still the same, we’ve just decided to give it all that computing power.

  • Fair point there.

  • GPU - now the price of a 5 year old Toyota.

    RAM - 10x price hike in the last year

    CPUs - prices increasing faster than processing speed

    Economy - destroyed

    Wages - stagnant

    Social contract for young adults - Broken

    Motherboard manufacturers - “why is no one buying our products?”

  • It’s a relatively interesting difference between our two countries, in the 1940s the USA was being introduced to movie stars who had the “Hollywood smile” which led to a lot of people turning to cosmetic dentistry.

    In the UK in 1948 dentistry became available for free on the NHS, with a focus on health rather than cosmetics. Sadly in 2006 they changed the deal for dentists so they had to perform hundreds of procedures before they could claim any money, rather than the pay-per-procedure they had been on before. In the last 20 years it’s become almost impossible to find an NHS dentist because they have all quit, and the UK has got too used to getting it for free so it’s not considered something you need to pay for.

  • I completely glossed over that! I’ve not the rubbers for sale in the UK for decades! Usually the blade supports just need a wiggle and some WD40.

    The new silicone and semi-silicone blades are good, just a shame they are £30 a set.

  • Anyone else miss the days where you removed the two metal spines and just replaced the rubber bit? cost was in pennies too.

  • As someone who needs a blue badge but “doesn’t technically qualify” you have to jump through so many hoops and put up with so much BS to get one, those that manage to really need it. (My council anyway)

  • I wouldn’t trust anyone else to.

  • Sometimes you can look around, see how things are going, and think to yourself this is probably not the most optimal state, maybe something that used to be normal is not quite so normal anymore, maybe something is obviously not able to continue functioning and you know someone has to do something.

    Sometimes you just have to reach out and I’ll be there, you might not think you’ll ever need me, but when you do I’ll be there, ready to shut this shit down! That’s the manual override experience, you’re welcome.

  • Oh yeah - I think we switched from a very similar one which was biodegradable, i thought the whole “earth rated “ fooled me into thinking these were too! I think the old ones were called something like “beco”

  • These are the ones we are using ATM: https://amzn.to/3Qul0BK

    Sorry it’s an Amazon link, I’m trying not to use them, so I tend to get them when doing a dog treats order, or from a local pet shop.
