On average. LOLN should down-weight outliers pretty well. As long as the weight matrices are known / verifiable. The weight matrices are known right? (princess leia meme)
tbh i’ve never tried to look up the actual details of the models, maybe it is available ? (genuinely interested now, . . . nah actually on second thought idgaf, i’m still not using it until , at least, i can remap that key on my work-laptop to “right click”)
Demagoguery existed in writing since at least ‘The Epic of Gilgamesh’. ‘AI’ is just a fancy pen for more of the same.
Real scientific writing, (given gravitas only in as far as it is directly linked to experiment/ test / verifiable / repeatable observation) is a depressingly small part of language.
Like all propaganda, what matters is who (living entities) are accepting it without question.
TBF though many scientific papers are also accepted or misinterpreted with limited inquisition so, ‘meh’.
Online is worthless, I agree. but people spending their time, is legit.
I think Fran explains it quite well towards the end of this one, c 7 minutes in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUhNsZU5-rM
tldw: People can protest and still be people and do other ‘people stuff’ whilst they’re protesting.
I mean you slightly have to ignore the “we invented protest in philadelphia crap” in there. pretty sure even like some stuff like Jesus, is probably based on some limited violence protest movement. (i’ve seen the documentary ‘the life of Brian’)
I think it means: “1.a person who agrees with the speaker or author. 2. a person who agree with the speaker or author, and talks shit on youtube.”
We’re just waiting for the dictionaries to catch up with common usage. OED and MW are usually pretty quick though, so it should be soon.
Very few laws govern language. Say whatevs.
In England, at least, it’s not that likely that you’d end up in prison for what you say, unless you use a specific word beginning with ‘P’.
There are lots of phrases like “the fuck?” that can be used by the listener, to ask for clarification; That is, if they actually give an actual fuck. Nine times out of ten, they don’t.
(/joke - please do not learn English from me. But please be aware that it is spoken by a lot of twats like me.)
Not much, just Ras Tafari fighting the babylon system (by allying with it).
Not even when they’re used in pointless work meetings by cluless fuck-wits to trying to innovate new and exciting ways to break (sorry “disrupt”) established workflows?
Yes, I reckon that mutual sensitivity between parties is more important than any rules.
Misunderstanding is where I’d put the dividing line between style and grammar, or at least useful grammar.
I didn’t know anyone cares how I pluralise emails though; I’ll be making sure to include the ‘s’ from now on though, maybe I can use it to literally get some nob-heads to reveal their true nature.
Do you notice people misunderstanding you? That’s how you’d know.
If you are not getting feedback from your readers, then fair enough, you’ll never know; but in that case, how do you even know anyone is reading your writing?
I tend to think my grammar its like a tree falling in the woods, the few squirrels that notice it can probably find another tree to harass.
Yes, probably just style then. Thinking about the context it has to be angled one way or another in sheet music just for clarity against the lines of the staff.
It’d be interesting to know whether it was used first in sheet music, or otherwise.
I don’t know if this is a new development to differentiate or just a style thing. But I think sharp in music is usually slanted up ♯. Rather than horizontal #.
C# in computers is just perverse.
“#!” was also used as shorthand for “crunchbang linux”.
Get the biggest one for emergency toilet paper.
Barter or non-monetary terms of trade would emerge. Probably, if your economy was large enough to involve lots of one off interactions with strangers then some commodity would become de-facto money.
You don’t really have to exist though. Any rw demagogue worth their salt can whip up a decent amount of fear of and anger towards imaginary freeloaders without any in reality.
Internet says in French they just generalise to say ‘bird’.
‘Straight as an arrow’ , or ‘as the arrow flies’, might be better though; pretty straight if there’s no wind.
I used to have a friend who pronounced “arrow” like “owl” so maybe go with that.
This also has me thinking about making a bee-line for something.
It’s shite being English. We’re the lowest of the low, The scum of the fucking Earth. The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash, that was shat into civilisation!
Read at least 100 real book words for every 1 lemmy or social media, or mass media words you read.
Even if you accidentally see them, you just have to stop and read a real book after you hit the limit.
Dilute the drivel to a low concentration and your kidneys and liver should be able to flush out the toxins. If you read this message you should go read about 8000 words of a real book, with food.
