Well, if each universe itself is infinite, then there are infinite planets, meaning the number of planets that are not earth is infinite. So, if there are infinite universes that are, themselves, infinite, then the infinity of universes that do not contain earth is infinitely larger than the infinity of universes that do.

I guess I'm wondering if there's some way to bake the contextual understanding into the model instead of keeping it all in vram. Like if you're talking to a person and you refer to something that happened a year ago, you might have to provide a little context and it might take them a minute, but eventually, they'll usually remember. Same with AI, you could say, "hey remember when we talked about [x]?" and then it would recontextualize by bringing that conversation back into vram.

Seems like more or less what people do with Stable Diffusion by training custom models, or LORAs, or embeddings. It would just be interesting if it was a more automatic process as part of interacting with the AI - the model is always being updated with information about your preferences instead of having to be told explicitly.

But mostly it was just a joke.

Yes, who knows? If only someone had transcribed the article into the lemmy post and mentioned armed security in the third sentence. But I guess since that didn't happen, we'll never know if the Governor's home is protected at all times by the Massachusetts State Police.

Yeah, beyond that I was mostly responding to the assertion that "Americans are stupid and easily manipulated."

No, they are responding to an imperfect system that punishes them for having strong morals. Far from stupid, it's actually quite rational. The best thing you can do if you care about not having to choose between genocide and even more genocide is get involved in pushing ranked choice voting through ballot measures, lobbying your state legislature, or hell, start with just municipal elections if you think you can get that done.

The real time agent simulation is easy for something like Banished, Foundation, Tropico, or Timberborn where your population isn't going to get out of the low thousands if you even play it long enough to get there, and there's no choice between walking/driving/any form of transit or any combination of them, and the network that path-finding is performed on is substantially simpler. There's a lot of simulation going on behind the scenes in Skylines (which IMO is worth the performance hit), and the graphics are technically superior to most games in the city building genre. The main thing, though is just that Skylines is doing things that basically no other game does, or doing them at a scale that no other game does.

The price of cars was relatively flat from about 1998 until covid, actually. In 2019 cars were a bargain compared to the 80s and 90s.

I agree, but the simple fact is Arafat and other Palestinian leaders were telling the people they were negotiating with one thing, and their own people another thing. The simple fact is neither side has ever wanted anything but "from the river to the sea". The Oslo process wasn't necessarily doomed, and it was the closest to peace we've been, but it would have been (if it had succeeded) far from the end of the peace process.

Keynesian economics

I didn't say the government didn't spend wildly during covid, I said that spending was not the root cause of our current inflation.

Looks like it was probably done digitally. Two photos in separate layers, set blend mode to "lighten", and then selectively mask areas you don't want the effect applied to.

Nah, classic late 90s metallic gray.

Organize society non-hierarchically, decolonize the world and so much more

China is already colonizing. The best you can hope for is the quick, relatively peaceful ascendancy of a new global hegemon.
