Hi, I’m also Terencio on mastodon.social and Sergio on lemmy.world.
When I was a kid and I was trying to get to sleep, I’d close my eyes and remember all the different bedroom layouts I’d lived in. Like in one place the wall was to the left and top and the door was down by the foot of the bed. In another place the wall was just to the top and the window was to the left and down. In another place the wall was just to the top and the door was to the top and left. etc.
When he asks to see their code, they send him a single file.
Sounds interesting. Glad those topics are still being investigated. So important to remember that even those neural methods labored for decades in the shadows before they finally found the answers they needed.
I personally agree. But if I pay for the cheapest option ahead of time, it hits different than a loved one deciding on the cheapest option for me, especially if they are grieving and a salesperson is offering them a range of options. Also, some people just want a big funeral for their own emotional reasons I dunno.
“discrete AI” (probably has a few other names)
Kinda sounds like you’re talking about Explainable AI too. Very interesting set of fields, but I’m pretty sure they’re all having funding problems too.
I frequently wish that the movie Apocalypto had inspired a whole genre of movies. Kind of like Westerns, but taking place in pre-Columbian times. That’s the sort of thing that creates new history nerds in a genre. Do you happen to know if Mexico has produced many/any good movies that take place in pre-Columbian times?
This person Aztecs!
Interesting article. I wonder if just deleting this was the right move tho. Maybe they could have stored it away somewhere and ignored it indefinitely.
PKM systems promise coherence, but they often deliver a kind of abstracted confusion. The more I wrote into my vault, the less I felt. A quote would spark an insight, I’d clip it, tag it, link it - and move on. But the insight was never lived. It was stored. Like food vacuum-sealed and never eaten, while any nutritional value slips away.
I’m not really familiar with these tools, but it seems like they’re not being used as the type of constraint that enables exploration and creative expression. Dunno if that’s a fundamental characteristic of the tool.
In trying to remember everything, I outsourced the act of reflection. I didn’t revisit ideas. I didn’t interrogate them
One of the most useful insights I came across in the digital humanities was that meaningful language use was performative, as well as subjective and situated.
The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold.
Reminds me a bit of Casaubon in Middlemarch.
Nietzsche burned early drafts. Michelangelo destroyed sketches. Leonardo left thousands of pages unfinished. The act of deletion is not a failure of recordkeeping. It is a reassertion of agency.
There’s this approach to creativity where you force yourself to do a first draft (even if it sucks), to make sure your brain knows what you want it to produce. Then you get rid of the first draft, take a little bit of time off so your brain can work on the problem “in the background”, and then start working on the real draft.
great (and brief) article.
there is “no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do”
lel we have a lot to learn from those early systems theorists / cyberneticians.
The idea is that you figure all that stuff out for yourself beforehand, so your grieving family doesn’t have to make a lot of quick decisions.
A day that will live in infamy! But in a good way. A day that will live in famy!
Have you ever tried to interpret those shapes for clues about the future?
Perpetual motion machine discovered.
kinda like an… opium? …of the masses?
I’ve seen emo-themed nights advertised at clubs, for nostalgia. So they might just be called emo. Tho to bring in larger crowds they might use different terms, yeah.
If you’re in Europe, Castle Party is next week, Amphi Festival is the week after that, and then M’era Luna is in August!
If you’re in the US… uh… the Gathering is in August? I dunno, I’ve been posting tour info on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world as I come across it… (edit: see here for a collection of tour/festival dates)
This.
