We may not need more users in terms of raw numbers, but it sure would be nice to have more diversity.
In an idealized scenario where everyone is arguing in an attempt to seek the truth rather than to win an argument, I would agree with you. But so often, you have people linking you to whole novels that they themselves haven't even read. Does it actually contain the information they're trying to convey? They may tell you that it does, but I'm not convinced that they know it does, and all it'll do is exhaust you before you get the chance to actually address their point. The few times I've tried following through and reading these linked texts, my responses just get met with silence. The rare response you do get is not worth the extra effort required to engage with this kind of comment. At the very least, if you have someone who writes out a response in their own words, you know they're willing to take the time to actually discuss, and so you return the courtesy.
Thanks! Just the motivation I needed to give this topic a more earnest shot. I've heard of classical counterpoint before but never looked to deep into it because it didn't seem to be what I was after with a cursory glance.
I don't understand what you mean by "The Chinese Room has already been surpassed by LLMs". It's not a test that can be surpassed. It's just a thought experiment.
In any case, you do bring up a good point. Perhaps this understanding is in the organization of the information. So if you have a Chinese room where all the query-response pairs are in arbitrary orders, then maybe you wouldn't consider that to be understanding. But if you have the data organized such that similar queries/responses are close to each other and this person in the room doing the answering can make mistakes such as accidentally copying out the response next to the correct response and still make sense, then maybe we can consider this system to have better understanding.
Do you know of any good resources for learning how this works? Things like the role a certain chord plays within a piece.
I know you said you couldn't find what you were looking for in the docs, but just in case you were looking in the wrong place:
- Conv2d gives you the exact mathematical formula that's implemented along with some examples.
- ReLU does the same and is even simpler.
Besides the convolution operator, I believe all the math should have been covered in high school (summation, max, and basic arithmetics). And convolution is also just defined in terms of these same operations, so you should be able to understand the definition (See the discrete definition in the wiki page under the "cross corrosion of deterministic signals" section).
The math does look daunting if it's your first time encountering them (I've been there), and sometimes all you really need to confirmation that you already have all the requisite knowledge.
Yes, that information, but without having to long press. If it's displayed along with the post title, I can quickly see where it goes and skip to the next post if it's clearly a video. Otherwise, I have to read the title, decide if I'm interested in it, then do a long press, possibly to be disappointed by what I see.
It's not called UBI if it's not for everyone.
I keep seeing this brought up but I can't find information on how they work. How do you actually get new wire through a conduit? Do they not get stuck in corners? Or on the ridges of the tubes? What if you need to send wires upwards?
I've probably spent more time looking up how to access specific functions in a GUI than for CLI.
It's very possibly a serious comment. I know some people remap ESC to something on/near the home row because of how much use it gets in vim.
If that were your goal, wouldn't it be better to get more people into Lemmy? Make the free alternatives a better experience so they stay and bring their friends over. If the average user encounters gatekeeping, they'll be more likely to just go back to Reddit or Facebook or whatever and get the help they need there, and you'll have given those corporations a bit more power.
