Amazed about their obsession with autism while thinking how they will probably understand autism as something else…

Mostly for random song discovery considering my previously liked songs, I regularly download/obtain those songs I like for offline reproduction and preservation… online stuff has short lifes

Currently, for free users, only PC or tablet allows to control what you listen (caveat occasional ads) but mobile constraints to a shuffle reproduction of albums, and if you dare to do a short album they spice it with additional related tracks, so you are never in control of what is likely to play…

EDIT: well, apparently I can do that also on my mobile app, I remember in the past some glitched occasions bit it seems is real now…

I still let spotify to discover me things from time to time… but regularly I download/obtain those that I like, I never abandoned my offline library, I am old enough to know that nothing online perdures…

Well, on PC or tablet you always could, but on mobile it was always album random shuffle… and if you created an album of less than N songs, in mobile they added related tracks in the reproduction (radio-spotify like) so it remained not possible to control what you listen…

EDIT: I updated the verb tenses to the fact that now you can in the mobile app chose the song to play

This! How is it possible that one of the most successful countries in getting European Research Council grants is Israel? How is elegible in the first place? Is European public money, it should only fund European research… this is still blowing my mind

Every step towards the next generation of colliders needs to be deeply justified about the falsifiables it will check and their interest to the current knowledge before being able to see a cent for it, and the expected energies of the TOE are well known to not be reachable with current means and technology, that’s not what they are promising ever, but what they do they fulfill, often, beyond predictions, to not mention the huge return basic research has always had in the long term to humanity… nope, I am afraid that I do not find it a good analogy at all. EDIT: but, yes, such strategy of making it bigger does not work anymore, so collider proposals go usually in other directions…

Thanks for the insight! Still I have problems to identify “inteligence” in brutte force approaches, otherwise looks like a linear regression algorithm would lie also under the category of AI, and the original idea of AI, which the Wikipedia acknowledges included “reasoning” capabilities, I feel has not been yet incorporated/disentangled in current predictive algorithms. Whether it rises from things like that, I think we are not there yet and all seems to me not different from a linear regression algorithm, which I do not feel “intelligent” enough to place under AI. But I think everything is too vage also and there is a lot of overselling (including Deep Blue’s “inteligence”).

Nice catch!

Let me educate myself, beetles have them differentiated… though I think abdomen had hardened wings or alike to be a beetle… I am open for reeducation about these details

Isn’t it a queen ant with crapy image compression/enhancements? If I remember correctly beetles have the torax fusioned with the abdomen…

Been played? As if he wasn’t full in from the beginning?

Neolingua here we go!

IMHO that broad conception is part of the abuse of the concept up to the point that another adjective (general, 🤷🏼‍♂️) must be added to recover its original intention… I have problems to recognise “inteligence” in a boosted decision tree… machine learning techniques looks to me much more appropriate as a concept

The lesser thinking and reasoning capabilites of the masses the more thriving times for the most powerful ones, you are basically eliminating crucial defensive capacities of the population allowing a critical advantage in perpetuate the power monopoly of the few…

We call it AI but they are just pattern predictor tools in massive dimensions, one day a real AI will appear and will be ridiculous call these things from the AI era…

My home is so populated of symlinks of similar namings: capital leters, other languages,…

I am not meaning that an eufemististic neolingua substitution would improve the morality of those actions or alike, it does not change the intended purpose behind that phrase, execrable in any case.

My point goes in a different direction, highlighting their viciousness, their emotional engagement, rage and hate, not cold state machinery.

Imagine the phrase I quoted in the following context: there is an organised uprising of progrom attempts carried out by a racist centralised collective against a minority and the state wants to take actions to stop the possibility of such progrom. I cannot imagine their version being used but my example.

We must eliminate their appetite for another attempt

instead of “it is advisable to discourage future attempts” that could be a more professional strategic tone… their language sound to me more like a mob boss in a mafia film, I am probably biased, yes, but that’s the tone I would identify among fascists rather than among objective beings handling a problem, full of passionate words as if their strength would be based on that… anyway.
