He is great. The way he gets inside the head of his narrators, really makes their voice come to life. Brilliantly realised characters.

Come to think of it, this is not the worst place to start looking for good books – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_in_Literature

Biggest English-speaking countries in the world are India and Pakistan.

Nigeria has a population over 200 million.

Darkness at Noon/Sonnenfinsternis is borderline.

then we can start apologising for no reason

It’s way easier to bake in ounces, IME

Metric is designed more for calculating on paper. For things using your hands like baking and carpentry, customary units are better. They’re designed for that.

Why is the USA the only country that doesn’t use the metric system?

Ignorant question.

This thing is like the Harry Potter of countries. Yknow the way people say “Harry Potter is the only book that xyz” when it’s really the only book they have read

See the world, it’s more interesting than you’ve been told.

I’m bringing t-shirts, work clothes, and a suit.

What packs best? What packs into my bag with the most/least difficulty?

I wear the thing that tolerates bags the least, and I pack the rest.

There is a simple reason you haven’t considered.

I want to bring my suit on the trip, and I don’t want to crush it into a bag, because it’ll wrinkle.

thanks for the comment, nice to see people engaging with ideas on here

This is insanely exciting.

• I posted this a few days ago asking for exactly this: https://lemmy.ml/post/50521202

• The use of knowledge-graphs in conjunction with neural nets is just what is needed. Knowledge-graphs do not hallucinate and provide a traceable chain of facts/knowledge that the neural net can then dress up in natural language.

Lot of good decisions here. On top of a good idea.

worry about the hallucinations of a knowledge-graph is like worrying about the tailpipe emissions of an electric car

AI ≠ neural net architecture

The ‘hallucinations’ you are talking about are peculiar to neural net architecture.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy this is very exciting…

Days after I posted this I hear about a serious plan to do exactly what I said: https://lemmy.ml/post/51088047

and I said ““no hallucinations” isn’t a thing within the LLM paradigm” – and they’re using knowledge-graphs (a different paradigm) so it can fulfill your “no hallucinations” requirement

Grand new day, so it is

This is called a ruined orgasm, it’s a thing

Not Brick Lane!

☹️

It’s true. Message board are known to hallucinate content.

I use duckduckgo for convenience, maybe I shouldn’t.

I use yandex for image-search.

eVTOLs are becoming accessible

It’s weird how many people mix up the clearnet with platforms.
