Rendered in EEVEE? Really? Wow! Considering you get so much more optical fidelity with Cycles it’s really astonishing they’ve used EEVEE.

So that Google is the default search engine in Firefox. … Which you can easily change.

Oh no… they’re such an evil big tech company!!1!! /s smh

No, they’re not.

Don’t equate those two tiny organisations to the ridiculously wealthy and powerful companies like Alphabet, Apple and so on.

We believe delivering Nokia’s 4G/LTE system to the lunar surface is a transformative moment in the commercialization of space and the maturity of the lunar economy.

… I fucking hate capitalism.

Remember that time, when it was possible for about 6 years to hack into any Linux system (without drive encryption) which had GRUB by pressing backspace exactly 28 times? Yeah, good old times.

Well at least they communicate such findings openly and don’t try to hide them. Other than ExxonMobil who saw global warming coming due to internal studies since the 1970s and tried to hide or dispute it, because it was bad for business.

Anything CUDA is first class on Linux with Windows as an afterthought

Not in my experience.

It’s really ironic and embarassing. The most valuable chip manufacturer in the world, thanks to advances in AI and AI research, which is usually done using Linux systems. And yet Nvidia still sucks hard when it comes to Linux support.

A lot of people own a gram of sugar and make up a lot of sugar cubes. Informing them and motivating boycotts can have an accumulating effect.

But I’d say vote with both anyway. Your democratic vote and your money.

If the “win for everyone” includes shipping a game as microtransaction-based instead of ad-based, I doubt it’s really a win. Microtransactions usually come with dark patterns and rely on techniques from the gambling industry.

Some options you could consider include […] making your game free to play with optional upgrades sold via Microtransactions or Downloadable Content (DLC).

I am not sure this is better. I hate microtransactions usually more than ads.

Ads don’t cost you money, just time, and sometimes some screen space. They are annyoing and that sucks. But leveraging dark patterns as stuff like FOMO and other psychological tricks to nudge people towards microtransactions can cost you a lot. A business model, which relies on techniques from the gambling industry – also by catching some whales – is imo way worse than ads.
Such games aren’t made for all players, just for some who don’t have control over their expenses (or can really afford it).

I can live with DLCs as long as there aren’t so many that it becomes increasingly indistinguishable to microtransactions. But in the end I don’t want to buy a fucking lego set, where I have to constantly buy new stuff.

That’s why I prefer single purchase games. I am also ok with paying more for them if that means the devs get the proftis to keep the development of games I like going. Buy once – have it all. Keeping games at a comparably equal price over decades is imo not meaningful anyways due to factors like inflation. But the gaming community can be really unforgiving in this regard. That’s why ad-based or microtransaction-based games are taking off. A majority of gamers are uncritical enough that this works. And then they are surprised when it bites them in the ass…

Trapped on Wikipedia

I am using Linux for work anyway and used Windoof just for gaming. I have heard good things about gaming on Linux recently, so that’s a good incentive to make the full switch.

Ah I see. This is getting ridiculous.

I wonder where you draw the line of when the use of resources for technology is okay and when it isn’t.

Did it make a mistake?

its not, though. Its best described as inspired by a big pachinko machine, with weighted pegs.It is almost in no way inspired by. Thats just propaganda being put out to make AI more palatable, and personable.

Get your facts straight.
The multi layer perceptron was first proposed in 1943 and was indeed inspired by biological networks: https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02478259

You can be sure this wasn’t to make it “more palatable”, wtf.

Regarding the rest of your reply:

You seem to be expecting a fully functioning digital brain as replica of the human brain. That’s not what current ANNs in modern AI methods do.

Although they are in their core inspired by nature (which is why I originally said that advancements in brain research can aid the development of more advanced AI models), they work structurally different. And ANNs for example are just simplified mathematical models of biological neural nets. I’ve described basic properties before. Further characteristics, like neurogenesis, transmission speeds influenced by myelinated or unmyelinated axons, different types and subnets of neurons, like inhibitors, etc., are not included.

There is quite a large difference between simplfied models which are “inspired by” nature and exact digital replicas. It seems you are not accepting this.

The reasons (summarized using Copilot):

• The platform no longer aligns with Debian’s values, social contract, code of conduct, and diversity statement.
• Concerns over X becoming a place where people they care about don’t feel safe.
• Abuse on the platform happening without consequences.
• Issues with misinformation and lack of moderation.

I said “inspired by” and not “exact digital replicas”.

In classical MLP networks a neuron is modeled as an activation function depending on its inputs. Connections between those are “learned”, basically weights which determine the influence of one neuron’s output on the next neuron’s input. This is indeed Inspired by biological neural networks.

Interestingly, in some computer vision deep learning architectures, we have found structures after the training procedure which are even similar to how human vision works.

There are a bunch of different artificial neural network types, most – if not all – inspired by biology. I wouldn’t be so bold to reduce them in that absurd manner you did.

As neural networks in AI are inspired by nature, new techniques will surely follow the insights gained by such brain mapping research.
