Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater: How and why deep learning for ARC
The Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC-AGI) presents a formidable challenge for AI systems. Despite the typically low performance on ARC, the deep learning paradigm remains the most effective known strategy for generating skillful (state-of-the-art) neural networks (NN) across varied modalities and tasks in vision, language etc. The deep learning paradigm has proven to be able to train these skillful neural networks and learn the abstractions needed in these diverse domains. Our work doubles…

@… “I wonder how many stones I can throw??”

The best microcontroller thing I did last year was build this little kit that fits in a 3D printed rugged box and covers close to 90% of things I need to deal with for the products I sell & support.
I can easily throw it in my bag when I'm on the road, otherwise it sits on my desk where I can quickly grab it to test something.

I think the term "post-AI" has so much power, are people using it much yet?
Just like postmodernism didn't reject everything about modernism, post-AI needn't throw out all AI.. But look beyond its dodgy ideals and hype to focus on other stuff.
We don't need AI institutes, AI art funding calls, AI panels etc, when AI is an over-hyped, all-encompassing, meaningless marketing term. We don't need to give airtime to nihilistic accelerationist weirdos behind AI…

@… This is so cool. 😊
We live close to Lake Zürich and often, when it’s raining, the mallards will come to visit us, because they know we’ll throw bird food over the balcony.
At this time of year, because they’re nesting, a male will fly up, stake out the area, and wait for their mate. When their mate comes too, the male will start hollering until we no…

Related to understanding firearms, "rifles" and hand guns tend to be rifled. Rifling is grooving that runs in a helical pattern down the barrel. When purchasing a firearm, it's important to check the rifling.
First check that the firearm is unloaded. Empty or remove the magazine, cycle the weapon. Next, check again that it's unloaded by looking both down the barrel and into the magazine. Now, shine a light down the barrel and look down it. In the absence of a light, you may be able to reflect light off your thumbnail.
Rifling should look as though it's drawn on with a sharp pencil, and the barrel should look otherwise completely smooth and clean. If the rifling looks like bumpy mountains, then the owner probably used corrosive ammo and didn't clean it enough. It will probably still shoot, but not at all accurately.
Both the rifling and the pin can be used in forensic analysis to match a bullet to a gun. I don't honestly know how accurate this is because a lot of forensic "science" is just made up stuff that relies on the CSI effect and doesn't actually work as advertised.
However, not all firearms are not all rifled. Shotguns are "smoothbore" firearms, meaning they lack rifling. It is not possible to perform forensic analysis of a smoothbore firearm. It *is* possible to check for powder on the hands of someone who has used a firearm within the last few days, but it's not possible to distinguish between firing inside and outside a range.
I've been gathering all kinds of tidbits like this, partially just out of curiosity and partially because I've been wanting to write a story about a revolutionary group fighting a modern authoritarian society. I'm always happy to learn other bits, if anyone has anything else I could throw in my narrative (whenever I finally get back to writing it).

Guess 5 was a throw away and guess 6 is correct (?). I have no idea what that word is. #Wordle

After all that bling of the last years I gladly spent my day today in Mate on Gentoo, dark theme, music et al and all just worked. The bulk of my applications are flatpaks, pipewire works like a charm and we're on kernel 6.15.5. If I could get this Waylandized we're done. Soothing. I'll throw in dwm over the weekend and retreat in my cave.

The new #bergwelten magazine arrived!
I'm looking forward to seeing some good photos and reading some nice articles.
Btw, what do you do with read magazines? I don't want to throw them away but I don't look at them either when I put them into the bookshelf 🤔

what a throw, what a catch, what a celly 🔥| 📺: #ATLvsDAL on CBS11 | #DallasCowboys #NFL #shorts

Today I made an account on Liberapay to throw some bucks at all the #Openstreetmap editing apps I use on my phone almost daily. Given how good this makes me feel, it's money well spent!

I decided to stack all the books that I'd never give up or throw away. It's a 2x3m wall floor to ceiling, full of silly books that I loved as a kid, tattered dictionaries, science, literature, history, curiosities, and even boring stuff that I've been translating through the years. It's a book cave!

I tried some of the scarier prompts from reddit on the new model and it shut them down straight away. It didn't agree with me or encourage me to keep going.
I don't trust OpenAI as far as I can throw them on ethics but this will probably turn out to be one of their more socially-responsible moves.

Anyway thanks to my Qubes OS disposable VM being set up again I can now open any link you throw at me...well not any link but you get the idea...
I'm talking to you fediverse with so many links belonging to this person, that other person etc. etc.
