They are programmatically token predictors. It will never be “closer” to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, “can a token predictor simulate intelligence?”

You joke, but I always like that the Poynting vector, which points in the direction of flow of an EM wave is named after John Henry Poynting.

I bet that guy was trying so hard to find a vector to get named after him.

Computer Scientist: 0 and a carry bit

Mathematician: S(1)

I use them. It helps me identify “weeds” so I can know if they’re good for pollinators or have to be removed immediately for invasiveness.

Example: I often keep a couple milkweed plants growing for monarch butterflies.

Moats. I was kidding at first, but I’m now thinking lazy rivers are modern moats.

That sounds like an adult with a social and/or psychological issue.

I liked Devs. It had a dope concept. That show didn’t get much buzz.

At the very least, it might be nice if they ask you if you want to go there instead.

On the other hand, I’m just happy that Google Scholar hasn’t gotten completely destroyed by SEO yet.

In fairness, I was thinking specifically of plants. I expect better results when looking up “S. lycopersicum” than “tomato”.

An example off the top of my head is saying pyrite instead of fool’s gold.

scholar.google.com is where you want to go.

Also, in my Google-fu experience technical terms work well for finding better scholarly results.

I think it’s “Best Service Ever”.

The picture on this page seems to have the same screen minus the red box.

Also, it’s incredibly low effort to cover it. There’s no subscription plan for covering a webcam.

Absolutely. Nowadays you could afford an external hard drive to store such a small amount of videos. Plus, it gives you the benefit of having fewer eyes on your data. The notion of storing data on the cloud turns me off of having certain indoor cameras.

MARS isn’t doing a good job of proving you wrong.

According to Invenda’s website, the Smart Vending Machines can detect the presence of a person, their estimated age and gender.

I’m confident I don’t need a vending machine to know any of that.

Technology does way more than what some consumers want without adding enough value. Ring doorbell just grossly increased their ring protect plan cost and I’m starting to wonder:

“Why are we paying monthly subscriptions for them to just store two months of snapshots with a few videos?”

I’m not sure about the top one. He could be saying everyone is living a life of sin (like 402 said).

The bottom one is definitely saying he lives an odd life because that’s literally an odd function. i.e.

f(-x) = -f(x) for all x

And it’s upvoted

If they’re watching on a phone, 720 might be fine. My preferred resolution depends a lot on what device I’m watching on and its screen size.

No, I actually thought you were joking. I think people are pretty ordinary and can’t telepathically tell that stuff in text. I bet you can’t deduce my gender, orientation, race, hair color, and name. I assume this because I didn’t tell you any of these things.

You can’t be serious.
