This flew under my radar because obviously there's so much weird news coming out of the other side of the Pacific. I want to know how you evaluate the accuracy of public consultation insights given by AI

Would you call simple linear regression a neural network architecture?

I COULD believe everyone is rotten to the core and humanity has nothing worth saving OR I could believe that's what the Russians want me to think OR I could believe we were made by a drunk guy and simply doing our best

I don't love action films but every now and then I do need to see Dev Patel and an army of enlightened trans women violently overthrow the corrupt elite of their city

This is really cool, I think I could learn a lot about mesh networks through cyberpunk fiction

loved the latest Download This Show when @raejohnston.bsky.social asked if NVIDIA and OpenAI are just passing money back and forth to raise the stock price 💸 this is why @meredithmeredith.bsky.social called it a Potemkin village I guess

Switzerland just voted to create a new electronic ID card (the Swiss introduced physical ones in 1955). It's stored locally on your device, you personally approve requests for your data, and is designed to prevent profiling. Contrast to, for example, Britain's centralized proposal.

Whether US news interests you or not, any non-American must admit that none of us can compete with the level of spectacle generated since the greatest commercial entertainment culture the world has ever known decided to apply the aesthetics of B-movies to politics.
