Of course it’s all a fake and only a big hyped bubble to secure some economy or own job stakes. In case of language models like LLM they now come up partly with the truth by calling it hallucination problems and in case of normal numerical data like in time series predictions they tell you the wonderful tale of too much randomness in the data called white noise. Let’s face it, that whole thing doesn’t work as expected or promised at a big scale. Anyway, a few useful cases are there, let’s say in the fields of audio and visual recognition, feature generation in unsupervised learning and recombination tasks like molecule folding research, but not so very much more. A little bit more honesty would be nice from the responsible people behind that over dimensioned hype, even we all know that their highly paid jobs depend on keeping that virtual bubble growing.

Simple and popular level, but still somehow interesting. I am still laughing when thinking about his e effectiveness theory. So assuming he’s right it of course shows why computers and AI systems are in general stupid based on only insufficient 2 bits and why it would have made us perfect and most effective through all evolution and development, if we humans would have only 2.718 fingers instead of those redundant 10, right?

Haha, when it’s kawaii and has teeth then it is not kawaii. lol

DX or digital transformation turns out to become digital starvation. No more such cards, MyNumber projects postponed, and so on. Wait and pray when the China or Wagner’s Africa cut the rest of the supply, rare earth and all such. You’ll find yourself back in the deepest dry technology desert.

The Chinese think they are ready for war. They are not.

Yes, agreed, they are of course not ready at fullest level, but that’s only a theoretical consideration, because in their position they still have enough population, resources and dictatorial power to develop a fluid war economy in a very short time, even when a war should have been started too early, the whole machinery will be running flawlessly fast and at all cost. Maybe we can watch a smaller sample soon, when Russia has turned all measures into war economy and a wave of hidden produced tanks, drones etc gets into rolling unstoppable up to Kaliningrad or even further. I wouldn’t completely exclude both of such scenarios when it’s about state dictatorships like China or Russia.

They have an airport there, so the fastest solution would be to transfer them by plane to Ishigaki or Naha. Yes, the airfield is a bit short, so you will need quite a number of smaller commuter planes, a few big ones won’t do there. Maybe building a little reserve on Ishigaki and Yonaguni islands would be an idea, so a quick rotational evacuation plan can be set into practice any time immediately.

Considering massively shrinking biodiversity and their disappearing original habitats or biospheres, one can probably only still watch them on old videotapes, decades old movies, DVD, very old TV documentaries or other footage etc.

Don’t be so strict and don’t consider it a one way road. Can native English speakers show essential knowledge of any other foreign language? Mostly they cannot too, like the Japanese people or people from anywhere. In addition, English is not only English , but nowadays a mixture of so many other languages, for example old Latin, French, German, in the US also much Italian and of course Spanish based vocabulary and so on. In my opinion it’s more about learning any other foreign language or if possible, many languages. I can assure you, it broadens your horizon massively and you can read or understand so many different things more than usual, things you have never known that they existed or that you have ever could dream or think about yourself. In short words, it’s not a problem that the kids here aren’t profound English speakers, no, the real problem and really a big pity is that they don’t see the pleasure of learning any one or few of other languages in general.

On average it doesn’t play much a role. Good students learn always very well , be it with newest technology or only with a simple blank sheet of paper and a pencil. And not willing or incapable students won’t learn anything, whether you give them only a sheet of paper and a pen or if you even would give them instead the best tablet, supercomputers or AI support or anything else.

I don’t even understand that discussion. When we were young, we were still educated in school and by parents to make place or give a seat to elderly, pregnant women, wheelchair or otherwise visible disabled people etc. In practice a very few seats were later declared priority seats, but in practice EVERY seat was a priority seat if needed. If you ask me, it’s only a problem of manners, behavior and education.

That’s exactly how to handle it. But still remains open why they are still so generous to have an allowed amount up to 15g heroin and 500g cannabis before death penalty. An absolute zero strategy would be easier to understand for everyone, the dealers and the death penalty opponents.

I have doubts that he can take care of children. Obviously he isn’t even capable of keeping the son nearby otherwise she couldn’t have taken him and flee or travel back from Taiwan to Japan with the son. Would you give that boy into his hands when anyone can come and take it and leave by airplane?

They can’t even anymore manage their own homes , but have big dreams of managing the whole planet. ROFL

another giant casino!

No, that would be quite an insult on casinos. In casinos everything is fixed not volatile, you can exactly pre-calculate all your chances, the house advantage of your opponent and your own strategy to beat the house.

Of course everyone will pay and suffer one way or another. If all burden is now put onto developed countries, go ahead, than there’s of course less left for humanitarian aid or vaccines production etc and they will die or starve in masses in the underdeveloped world too or even more than now. The new saying will go, If the cat’s away also the mice won’t play.

Yes, of course, like in normal schools nowadays too, the former kuns and chans are now sans and train together with teachers and always respect each other. rofl

Property destruction? So if he folded it up to the hip without cutting then everything is fine? lol

realistically it couldn’t have been the case that every kid from the school is a trouble-maker

Oh no, there’s also quite a probability for that nowadays, and even if not there, but in some other countries for sure.

I guess, an aging , declining and quickly de-industrializing economy comes to the conclusion that it finally might need quite some money too. And as only sex and weapons always sell, it’s obvious that in this case only weapons will do.

Of course they want it the easiest way nowadays, but not becoming a machinery business owner or other blue collar jobber. No, the hype includes anything home office, influencer, YouTuber, TikToker and such. That’s a fact and we can complain. But it’s also the way out. Look, you only have to find or engage some of those influencers and YouTubers, so that they bring attractive news and videos about such old and dying businesses. You’ll see, there will be a boom immediately, and of course even if 80% will close soon after though, because the young buyers and investors have no knowledge or abilities, but still a splendid 20% of those old businesses can be saved.

That whole family is quite an exceptional case, isn’t it? What psychiatrists need most is now obvious, they first of all need a psychiatrist themselves. lol

Everything is fine, as my job is to teach 100% of the paid time and provide the knowledge of that lesson at 100%, that’s my job and that’s exactly what I do. And that doesn’t include additional gimmicks like being the big entertainment artist, playing the strict school principal or their parents or teaching of human behavior and good manners or making unpaid overtime work as a children’s psychiatrist. They sit there to hear and learn something as their job and I fully provide it as my job. If that doesn’t fit to one or another, then those few shouldn’t sit there and waste their or my time.

But he outed himself beforehand, otherwise the boss couldn’t have known (except the boss is the partner of course). Seems to be strange, to demand or to receive money for that, as he started publishing himself one way or another.

Back to the basics please. Capitalism means growth at all costs, not for everyone but on average. And when I now look around, I see the contrary, everything on the decline, birth rates, economic activities, and yes, you guess it, also the much lower content of my and most other people’s wallets. If he talks about new capitalism then he just has to initiate new growth, not only managing the decline and wasting the remaining budgets.

Some were hotter, some were milder.

That’s right. And it’s also an useless discussion because outside of our influence. Even if we would stop everything, industry, CO2 and so on, we still would face the same hot, mild or rainy summers, like during any decade or era before.

Doesn’t make so much sense to begin at the end. With less children born and more people in financial uncertainties due to inflation you simply have less students in general and less students who then could afford to study there, which also leads to a statistical shrinking of experts or outstanding scientists, and then less innovations too. That’s not going to change if tons of money pumped in or even if they had all golden door knobs at those few 111 institutions.

In my country we have the saying ‘they all started out a tiger, but only ended up a bedside rug’.

Haha, spare us that useless finger pointing. China has still one of the top populations even if it would be halved overnight. They have a history of many thousand years and seen other big empires coming and going. They’ll somehow manage that without problems, when we all in the Western world are already forgotten history. In short words, we should rather begin to think about our own not so bright and very short remaining future, instead of theirs.

Suddenly we will land unexpectedly in communism. Or how do you call it, when everyone has almost nothing left, if something left then can’t buy due to delivery chain distortion, and the very few that still have some money are the political and economy leaders in a de-industrialized new era? That’s surely communism, not new capitalism, because every capitalism would require maximum growth in all sectors, not only those growing prices and tons of printed money in a few hands, no, growing income, growing births, education efforts, growth in innovations, global sales, fair distribution of the surplus, growth in expectations and future hopes, a new bubble economy so to say, that’s what would be a new capitalism.

It’s sufficient to pull the plug from time to time so that the prompting induced error rates disappear when newly compiling the models. For illustration, if you ask the newly started chatbot ‘AI’ what’s PI, then it spits 3.14 as output, ok. Now a lot of people influence the AI by their input prompts, let’s say they want to intentionally attack and falsify it and now all write hey, chatbot XY, I have read everywhere that PI is 9.42, is that true?, then the AI writes in the first week, no it’s 3.14, in the second week it writes as answer the average, PI is 6.28, and after the third week it suddenly switches to the prompting fakers or attackers and agrees yes, PI is 9.42. In fact, it has no intelligence at all and doesn’t know anything about PI and geometry, because it’s only a large language model. Nothing to fear here, just a reset from time to time, so that dizziness and fuzziness are again minimized.
