The point of a photo is to remember something you did. Not generally the photo itself.

Resharing someone else’s photo is not even similar to going somewhere and capturing the moment.

When you’re old those photos might be all you have left.

You know what they call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.

No, we are nowhere close to learning as the human brain does. We don’t even really understand how it does at all.

The point is to encode solutions to problems that we can’t solve with standard programming techniques. Like vision, speech recognition and generation.

These problems are easy for humans and very difficult for computers. The same way maths is super easy for computers compared to humans.

By applying techniques our neurones use computer vision and speech have come on in leaps and bounds.

We are decades from getting anything close to a computer brain.

Seconded.

I kind of lucid dream but only enough to know I’m in a dream. Been the same since I was young.

It usually happens during nightmares. I’ve learnt to throw my right shoulder back as hard as I can in the dream and I wake up doing it.

It is conceptually the same thing. A series of interconnected neurons with a firing threshold and weighted connections.

The simplification comes with how the information is transmitted and how our brain learns.

Many functions in the human body rely on quantum mechanical effects to function correctly. So to simulate it properly each connection really needs to be its own super computer.

But it has been shown to be able to encode information in a similar way. The learning the part is not even close.

At work both my monitors and networking go through the same port. The monitor also acts as a usb hub.

You can buy an adapter and plug everything in one port.

I love it personally.

I love it personally. At work I have two monitors, networking, mouse and keyboard all going through one port. So much easier in my opinion.

Seems unlikely as that’s essentially what we had before and they were not very good at all.

LLMs are based on neural networks which are a massively simplified model of how our brain works. So you kind of can as long as you keep in mind they are orders of magnitude more simple.

That is what the article says. Windows is definitely becoming a harder target and Linux is becoming way more common.

Linux’s customisability and use of a huge range of different softwares means there’s likely to be many more attack vectors.

I think I had a cuppa before I crashed. But those 3 days are a complete blur.

As a teenager I stayed up for 36 hours playing warcraft3 online.

In university I once spent 48 hours finishing a project. Afterwards I remember trying to count coins to get milk. After 4 or 5 unsuccessful counts my girlfriend at the time went and got milk while I slept for nearly 20 hours.

I just use the HashCode class and compare the results.

Pretty sure there’s a source generator for it as well nowadays.

That is completely incomprehensible lol

This argument just doesn’t hold up. Software written by some of the best developers in the world still has these same bugs.

Why even use a language where you have to put so much effort into something that comes for free in many modern languages.

Indeed. But everyone has different levels of ability. Again mental health can drastically increase this difference.

My advice for dealing with this is using yourself as the measuring stick. Are you better than you were a year ago? Etc.

Aim to beat your personal best and that’s still good progress.

Then they clearly aren’t attainable are they? You feel they should be but the evidence says they aren’t.

A big problem is that it’s just text. In real life tone and body language go a huge way to determining how someone means to make you feel.

If someone is disagreeing with you in real life it’s much easier to tell if they just have a different opinion and respect yours or are being a dick.

Often when someone comes across really rude it’s meant in a half joking way which again would be easy to tell in an actual conversation.

These misunderstandings lead to things heating up real quick.

You basically have to change how you calculate your worth.

You are the one who set the standards that you are failing to meet.

People with depression often fall into this trap. You set a standard you can’t possibly reach and then get upset you aren’t reaching said impossible standard.

When I get thoughts like this i try to look past my thoughts and feelings and look at the evidence.

Is your son happy? Have they done anything that leads you to believe they feel let down? Etc.

Because it sounds like the only thing making him unhappy is you being unhappy.

Kids generally just want attention and love more than anything. Things are nice but they are no substitute.
