Technology@lemmy.zip•Researchers isolate memorization from reasoning in AI neural networksEnglish
1·1 day agoSo they’re saying that chat bots are really just glorified search auto-complete and don’t actually have any ability to think or calculate?..
I’m shocked!
Shocked!
I thought the thumbnail was tiny turtles shells…

Virtual Reality@lemmy.world•Cambridge & Meta Study Raises the Bar for 'Retinal Resolution' in XREnglish
2·6 days agoPretty cool stuff actually
According to the researchers, foveal vision can actually perceive much more than 60 PPD—more like up to 94 PPD for black-and-white patterns, 89 PPD for red-green, and 53 PPD for yellow-violet. Notably, the study had a few outliers in the participant group, with some individuals capable of perceiving as high as 120 PPD—double the upper bound for the previously assumed retinal resolution limit.
Hard to figure out much since I know very little about the inner working of decoders, but it seems to be a decoder error with ExoPlayer on Android
I’m getting an error too. Summit on Android

I actually found this article surprisingly interesting. I’m fairly novice at Python, but I understood the majority of what was being talked about. They do a good job at simplifying things for both new and experienced programmers to understand.

Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator@lemmy.world•[Help] Is there any way to convert a wiki synopsis page into a lorebook? (by pasting the URL or something)English
1·12 days agoI’m currently in the process of making a script that gets every available URL from a website. It’s been done a hundred times before, but I’m doing it for learning.
OP, you should look into BeautifulSoup for Python. It would be a starting point for you. That will give you the full HTML of the webpage.
The actual car in question:

Python@programming.dev•The PSF has withdrawn a $1.5 million proposal to US government grant program
11·16 days agoMassive W in my mind. I’ve always loved Python even though I’m quite amateur at it. After hearing about this, I will be a long time fan for sure.
Yeah, LLMs aren’t going anywhere even if the bubble pops. Many of the companies will die, and self hosted models will stick around. The core technology of machine learning has many great uses, so LLMs will always be there in some capacity
1000°c seems accurate:

Fun little science fact: Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of. It’s called Black Body Radiation. The color chart shows what temperatures correspond with various “colors” of glow.
The TL;DR is that they often do these “awake surgeries” when they have to operate near critical parts of the brain. They keep the patient talking so they know they have not damaged something critical.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Engineers Discovered the Spectacular Secret to Making 17x Stronger CementEnglish
10·22 days agoIn a new study from Princeton University, scientists turned toward the humble oyster and its iridescent composite material nacre for design inspiration.
Matching the characteristics of nacre at the microscopic level, the researchers were able to increase the toughness of cement some 17 times, as compared to a cement block on its own.
I think the image might have just been ai upscaled. Looks like it to me.
