Yes, this maximal decentralized usage where everybody has their own copy but can collaborate and pick and choose from other copies was a central idea in the creation of git. Ultimately it was made for Linux Kernel development and that is how that works over there.

You do not even need to use git specific protocols. One can simply import patch sets and mail them to each other.

Git was made to work decentralized and repositories are trivial to mirror.

Can humans think under that definition? I think it’s highly likely we can’t.

Are humans always able to come up with anything new? If so where does this ability originate. How would someone identify that?

I think this definition of thought is too limited and not how we use the word intuitively.

Btw I didn’t down vote you.

Your reply begs the question which definition of AI you are using.

The above is from Russells and Norvigs “Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach” 3rd edition.

I would argue that from these 8 definitions 6 apply to modern deep learning stuff. Only the category titled “Thinking Humanly” would agree with you but I personally think that these seem to be self defeating, i.e. defining AI in a way that is so dependent on humans that a machine never could have AI, which would make the word meaningless.

What algorithm are you referring to?

The fundamental idea to use matrix multiplication plus a non linear function, the idea of deep learning i.e. back propagating derivatives and the idea of gradient descent in general, may not have changed but the actual algorithms sure have.

For example, the transformer architecture (that is utilized by most modern models) based on multi headed self attention, optimizers like adamw, the whole idea of diffusion for image generation are I would say quite disruptive.

Another point is that generative ai was always belittled in the research community, until like 2015 (subjective feeling would need meta study to confirm). The focus was mostly on classification something not much talked about today in comparison.

That was such a culture shock when I went to the us for the first time.

In Germany and many places in Europe do not think of burgers as sandwiches. I was so confused when I ordered a sandwich and got something like a burger.

I expected something like this. My confusion must’ve been quite the sight, the waitress even seemed concerned. Tasted great though.

Nope. Almost every day I learn something new.

It was the app most like reddit if fun (rif). I liked it. To me it was the most intuitive layout.

Hasn’t development slowed to a crawl?

I am using eternity to post this btw. Was using liftoff before until it broke and will continue with eternity.

Why are Americans so riled up about this?

Do you guys not realize that this reaction is literally one of the reasons they do this? To be a distraction and to show their base that they made the bad people™ cry about it.

That’s a common misconception. You can measure a lot of ambient noise and extract entropy. Like time between inputs or how long it took an HDD to seek.

Most modern PC CPUs even have dedicated hardware for generating random numbers from electrical ambient noise. I don’t trust them however.

This will break if the filename has spaces in it iirc.

I’ll bite: What is democracy to you?

Extremely limited password length. I think it was around 6 or 8 characters. Exactly! So every password was the same length.

No other requirements. The best part? It was a bank. But not a customer facing service.

Vote in what?

The keyword is digital signage display/television.

If baveria wasn’t one of the worst NIMBY hell holes in the (known by me) world.

Ehh no. Germany never had that much nuclear in its energy mix. At most it was 10-15%. Compare that to France with their around 30-40% nuclear energy in the mix.

If you don’t find resource planning on an enterprise level erotic then I don’t know what’s wrong with me
