3-4 hours a day 5 days a week worked fine for me when I was working. Meeting hours mandatory and the rest flexible. Remote work. With on-site work short-hours-more-days is more problematic because you have to spend time getting there and getting home, choosing less days with more hours is an obvious optimization.
I agree with this in terms of process, but not necessarily agree in terms of result. If you enumerate the state space of target domain, you might realize that all the constructions there can be achieved by randomly introducing errors or modifications to finite set of predefined constructions. Most AI models don’t really work like this from what I know (they don’t try to randomize inference or introduce errors on purpose), otherwise they could probably evade model collapse. But I don’t see why they can’t work like this. Humans do often work like this though. A lot of new genres and styles appear when people simply do something inspired by something else, but fail to reproduce it accurately, and when evaluating it they realize they like how it turned out and continue doing that thing and it evolves further by slight mutations. I’m not saying I want AI to do this, or that I like AI or anything, I’m just saying I think this is a real possibility.
This is a cool way to put it, but I think even just errors and randomness in reproduction of source ideas sometimes can count as original ideas. Nevertheless, I also think it doesn’t fully encompass all range of mechanisms by which humans come up with original ideas.
When AI consumes only AI generated content, model collapse happens. That’s why it’s a big mystery and intrigue to me what’s gonna happen to human beings.
Nothing is truly random
Modern physics says otherwise. Einstein also thought exactly like that with his “hidden variables” theory which was later disproven.
Edit: I was interested to read some relevant discussions and here’s some links with quotes

It seems very likely that every deviation from perfect homogeneity and isotropy in the universe is due to amplified quantum fluctuations. (That’s true in inflationary cosmology, and I’d expect it to be true in practically any alternative to it.) For example, the shape of Earth’s land masses was probably determined by quantum fluctuations, and has had an enormous influence on human history.
Quantum fluctuations is basically true randomness on quantum level.
The randomness is largely canceled out, except in the case of unstable systems which magnify the effects of any perturbations, no matter how small.
I find this kinda similar to moderation on Reddit and 4chan for example, maybe a bit less bad. Here you have transparency with mandatory reasons for every action, and there you can get banned for anything including moderator’s bad mood, but the big difference is: they don’t even have to explain their decisions and 4chan even has a rule like “you are not allowed to discuss moderators and moderation”. But the real deal breaker here is that you can simply avoid instances with that kind of thing going on: register on another instance and prioritize communities from other instances - and you’re mostly out of reach of those mods and any of their moderation actions. I escaped from lemmy.world in the first two weeks. Still subscribed to some communities there, but mostly in a passive way and prefer to participate in alternatives.
If you go back in time, you are just going to do what you already did because that is in the past.
Only if the Universe is deterministic. If not, random rolls having different outcomes may completely change the course of events and decisions made by people.
Probably something like attractor field theory from Steins;Gate. In my view it’s basically timelines with a bit of topological though thrown on it to combine closely related timelines into bundles, similar to some algebraic topology concepts I guess.
Amplenote, never looking back. Organizing notes with tags, combined with proper rich text formatting and attachments is what makes it perfect system for me. I’m using free plan, considering subscribing in future just to support the app, but I don’t need any of the paid features atm.
The term was likely borrowed from the credit industry’s bond ratings, where “AAA” bonds represent the safest investment opportunity and are the most likely to meet their financial goals.
Oh nice, this makes sense.
I’m using Logitech MX Mechanical Mini. It has nice subtle lavender white backlight. Other notable thing about it is, it’s wireless and comes back after inactivity in fractions of second. Something many wireless mechanical keyboards struggle with.
“Universal” means that it’s unconditional. As I understand it, by design of the concept, everybody should receive it.
I use all three: mastodon, bluesky, and twitter. Mostly because people I follow are on different platforms. Personally, I would settle for mastodon alone.
Yep, maybe it would benefit from more advertisement but I decided to not recommend it until I experience it for some time. It took me a week or two to realize that I don’t like moderation at lemmy-world for example, I would definitely recommend choosing other instances, and then, it takes time to figure out which ones are worth recommending. Some are extremist far-left/far-right, some are at risk of shutting down if admin gets bored and decides to stop paying for hosting from his personal money.
Not much you can do other than researching the current consensus. And for the latter you can try to search discussions about its safety. Good query to start with is “is programname malware/spyware”.
I’m pretty much happy with conversations I see here. Plenty of quality discussion threads in AskLemmy, Gaming and Technology and Anime. Would be nice to see even more ofc, but Lemmy’s not that big yet I guess. Questions is something that often starts interesting discussions.
I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I’ll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.
Ah, Harebrained Schemes… I really love Necropolis. Still playing it occasionally. Beat it like 20 times, almost got all achievements. Their other games not my piece of cake though. Wish they made more content for Necropolis, maybe a new DLC.
I like decentralized approach and modlog feature. Really nice to be able to monitor moderation and see reasons for certain actions. This helps a lot to understand what to expect from certain instances, make the best choices for yourself and avoid frustration in future.
The goal is to be on so many that SQL JOIN goes OOM 😅
