7·5 months agoI’m a simple man, I see Peter Watts reference I upvote.
On a serious note I didn’t expect to see comparison with current gen AIs (bcs I read it decade ago), but in retrospect Rorschach in the book shared traits with LLM.

15·6 months agoIf you need translation for just getting facts and information for say math equation and its annotation translated, there’s little margin in variety, what you need is database - that’s mostly fine.
Pieces need translation are usually not like that. They have cultural context, pun, wordplay in rhymes, structural parallel, underlying tone, a lot of things only work in the language originally written. Translation is always a (nearly impossible) challenge for the translator to reconstruct all of them in target language.
I did game translation for a while. Translation is a field where AI hit first and honestly I’ve seen people lowering standards. The criteria of “good enough”, “passable” is not the same compared to pre-AI days, and will keep changing. I’m almost sure this trend is happening in every industry the same way, and “just translation” is a slippery slope.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI Is Accelerating the Loss of Our Scarcest Natural Resource: Water
181·7 months agoSeawater cannot be used for cooling, salt buildup will kill the system. Water involved in human activity is 100% freshwater, which is the the most scarce resource as in the article (human accessible is 1% of whole water). Desallination is energy intense process too.

It doesn’t selectively prevents learning, instead it hinders overall recognition even to the human eyes to some extent. The examples I know are old, but artists once tried to gauge model’s capability of i2i from sketches (there’s few instances people took artists’ wip and feed it to genAI to “claim the finished piece”). Watermaking, or constant tiling all over the image worked better to worsen genAI’s recognition than regular noise/dither type filter.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can I setup Linux on a VM and then swap to that setup permanently if it works well for me?
2·11 months agoThats fair. TBH mocap data cleanup is also a hassle and I haven’t decided to delve deeper into that. CMU has mocap data with permissive license you may find it interesting if you haven’t already.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can I setup Linux on a VM and then swap to that setup permanently if it works well for me?
1·11 months agooff topic, but I saw you mentioned vr on other post so wondering wether you considered setting up vr mocap? For casual hobbyist like me stuff like glycon3d in enticing though I don’t know what type of mocap you’re after.
AFAIK it’s very model specific attacks and won’t work against other models. Their tool preserving art the same to human eye is great offering, and there’s always rigorous watermarking (esp. with strong contrast) as an universally effective option.

4·1 year agoGlad to see mentions to Peter Watts. His view of humanity is dry and take on real world is even grimmer, but it’s intriguing and backed by science. Also I’m the one of people dying to know what he said at the end of his lecture.

Technology@lemmy.world•Wi-Fi Goes Long Range on New WiLo StandardEnglish
4·1 year agoI don’t know where you get the information tho, it’s factually false.
Japanese have have /h/, /ç/, /ɸ/ consonants in ハ行 (written as ha - hi - fu or hu -he - ho but pronounced differently). The consonant /ɸ/ is generally transcribed as f in alphabet.
フ(f+u) is the only letter that pronaunce /ɸ/ in regular ハ行, but ファ行 (f + other vowels) indicates sounds with /ɸ/.
Transcription of wifi in Japanese is ワイファイ, not ワイハイ.

82·2 years agoAnd all the mining waste are dumped in space, where people thought out of human’s reach so it’s safe to leave it there, until proven otherwise. I may be pessimistic, but if such technological advance made it will likely expand region of human activity and thus history repeats.
Your own learning resources + Anki.
However, this requires significantly larger amount of work compared to said learning apps, which has establisged learning course in form of easily digestable chunk.
You need to digest textbook and such on your own into small chunks, then Anki cards. It’s essentially building course by yourself.
Fluent Forever from Gabriel Wymer gives some idea on how to utilize Anki, though the author moved to build his own closed source app.
Many artists explicitly state no repost without their permission, requiring proper credits and such. It IS a dick move to AIgen-fed edit while directly interacting author’s post; that makes people using the AI feature violating author’s will knowingly.
In reality, people don’t read artists’ comment or bio, when “single button to AIgen and use the art as prompt” exists. It’s basically X greenlits anyone to do so against artists’ will, and fair use can argue the use of art but never force artists to stay on a platform. That’s what’s happening. They may have overstayed on a horrible platform blinded by clout they can get there but that is a different story.
