Btw, I believe that #AI has hit a philosophical wall that technology alone cannot move.

When I started working on AI in the mid 2000s, it was still all about expert systems, decision trees that modeled first-order logic, onthologies, and graph exploration to come up with a best strategy to solve a problem.

That generation of AI could already solve impressive problems, but it was limited by the amount of knowledge that humans could put into it to describe all the possible combinations of a complex problem, or all the possible logically valid propositions, or all the grammar rules of a language.

It was a purely reasoning-based AI. Deterministic, reliable, but its utility was constrained by the amount of logical and algorithmic rules that humans could put into it.

Then computing became cheaper and more scalable, data for big corporations became cheaper and scalable as well, and neural networks, largely forgotten for nearly 25 years, got their moment. We suddenly got statistical systems that could figure out patterns and rules from labeled data, without a human explicitly encoding them into a graph. And we really thought that we had solved the problem of AI. But then you get systems that can recognize a human and a stop sign individually, but don't know what to do when they are together - because it was never trained to deal with such an unusual combination, or even told what the real meaning of a stop sign is.

Deep learning trashed away decades of reasoning-based expert systems to focus on empirical models trained through statistical pattern matching, but in doing so it created parrots that can talk about anything without even understanding what they're talking about.

It's again the long-lived clash between rationalism and empirism. In spite of the technology, these problems have been around at least since the times of Plato. Do we through deduction (we learn the basic building blocks of reality, and then we learn how to logically connect them together in increasingly complex structures), or do we learn through experience (by observing and replicating things again and again, measuring the feedback, and gradually converging towards a local optimum that statistically minimizes the odds of error)?

Well, it turns out that we may need both, but we can't make such a big theoretical leap in understanding how machines (and even humans) learn while the whole field is in the hands of a handful of companies mostly interested in doing small iterative improvements over their existing imperfect models, with little to no incentives to take big risks required to really push the industry forward.

Harsh.. Also using . instead of , or even _ is kinda bold

@Aldo2
We... Dont. We dont direct these mobs, heck I didnt even know there are mobs like that. For the entire of history jews always had that "jew" stamp on them, and sadly we still do, and its f-ed up. Anti semitism is a problem, just like racism, and its a rather thin line, and we will have those problems until we as a society can finally drop all those labels(this also stands with people claiming some are rasict because they criticezed a minority or something)

Apart from it being a club(not a group) sounds like an okay-ish name i guess? You wouldn't refer to a group of people as a club in hebrew, rather you would call them a group/team or you might say something like
אנשי הרימון
Anshey haRimon
Which sort of translates to
The Pomegranate people
Although have more of a group refering to it

@bacon
Have you relaced fans? If you have your printer for a while now your fans might be meh, or if you want to upgrade in general you can quiet it or better the cooling

Also, fedora didnt want to power off for some reason, now i have artix(base install) with gnome, but gnome doesnt allow me to login for some reason

Doing some distro hopping on my laptop while at my parents, and so I installed fedora but I dont think i like it, so i wanted to try pop os, but after burning the iso using dd multiple times, and downloading twoce the img, i gave up and swotched to artix again, but it seems to also be broken, so i guess dd on fedora is just broken

@ar
It looks really good, sadly im not hone so i cant check the cad files, but how did you embed the magnets(I wanna say leave a hole and tell the printer to stop for a "color change" at the right height)?

@murks
If you are tryong to de-google your life i would suggest just insralling /e/os(or alternative degoogled roms) directly

@codingquark
I would suggest going to the ender3 subreddit(it has a really good getting started, tho i just built my printer straight away) and there are useful resources there, and also maker's muse youtube channel, as he got some interesting vids(tho you might need to dig sometimes)

CUTE CATS!!! Look at your own risk 

Louise was lying on her back in their box, and omg im so happy my phone was within reach

@codingquark
I had some experience before(both autodesk inventor from school and learning blender for gamedev), so not at all, but you can always use thingiverse models until you get comfy with modeling yourself
