Greetings comrades in dystopia,

Thank you again for keeping me alive.

I come with my monthly plea that you help me pay for my infusion of baby unicorn tears at chemo.

If you can, please help me continue to afford baby unicorn tears infusions.

This is the 5th attempt to stop this cancer.

Please help because I tried everything else before deciding to crowdfund.

Cw: covered needle visible in my arm in video.

I need help again with very expensive meds, copays & bills while I can't work.

currently $2100 left to raise of $14k.

What I need is time to rest but I do not have that luxury. Keeping myself alive is a full time job.

AMAZING NEWS

The dept of defense has finally ordered a review of the medals of honor awarded for the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre.

A panel will determine whether or not to rescind the medals on an individual basis. The report is due mid October.

The Wounded Knee Massacre killed approximately 300 Lakota men, women, and children who were then dumped and buried in a mass grave. Some women and children had been chased down almost 2 miles before being slaughtered.

Model collapse is a real phenomenon where blindly recycling machine generated content for training new models degrades the model quality.

Why isn't this a problem in practice? Because we shouldn't use raw data from the net anyhow for training LLMs or other generalist models.

They should be trained with instruction following patterns anyhow, so the data will need transformation in any case. In this transformation step you can also add quality improvement and refinement as well, as you're doing LLM transformation anyway.

Quality improvement and refinement involves ranking, filtering, combining and mutating the raw data to make it of higher quality than the data that comes in.

In principle you're adding compute and intelligence to raw data, which allows analysing trustworthiness, implications, and all meta-level aspects of this raw data, in synthesis with everything already known.

Having machine generated content in the raw data won't have a degrading effect if you're using your existing models to bootstrap this data refinement, so that you are only extracting the value out of this data, and not the noise which degrades performance.

It's not like we have some golden human sourced data polluted by bad machine generated data. Both human sourced data and machine generated data have both valuable aspects and degrading noise baked in. Luckily we have tools to extract the value out of both.

Green-headed coneflower with some Joe Pye weed behind it just in bud. I used to know a spot where these grew together by a pond along with cardinal flower and tall meadow rue, a beautiful spot. But these are in my #garden (bought from a good source, not dug from the wild!) #flowers #BloomScrolling #NativePlants
In the background a garage of concrete block shading in places from tan to black as if from weathering with a small window and on the side a white door. In the foreground are some yellow buds and six yellow flowers with raised green centers. The yellow petals droop gracefully down from the centers. There are green leaves on their stems. Just behind them can be seen another stem but of small rose-lavender buds.

Science has officially identified the world's most beautiful woman. And the winner is... math:

Dr De Silva, who runs the Centre For Advanced Facial Cosmetic And Plastic Surgery in London, explained: "Anya Taylor-Joy was the clear winner when all elements of the face were measured for physical perfection.

"She had the highest overall reading for the positioning of her eyes, with a score of 98.9%, which is only 1.1% away from being the perfect shape."

Laut dem Spiegel hat das Verkehrsministerium des Bundes nun bestätigt, dass Fahrradanhänger ohne eigenes Bremssystem zukünftig nur noch eine maximale Gesamtmasse von 50 kg haben dürfen.

Hierzu verweist das Ministerium auf eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung. Da wurde wohl nicht nur ich hellhörig. Danke an die Person, die den Staat fragt! 👍

Sicher daß es eine gute Entscheidung ist? Warum? Was steht in der Studie um sich eine Meinung zu bilden ob es eine sinnvolle Entscheidung ist? Warum 50kg und nicht 60, 70, 75kg?

Schon mal mit 2 Kisten Cola hinten drin 15% Gefälle herunter gefahren?

Ich nur einmal, denn es ist einfach nur unangenehm, wenn es beim Bremsen von hinten einfach weiter schiebt.

@bratarat
Ich sehe das kritisch, weil #Fahrradanhänger aktuell einfach zu konstruieren sind und bei Platzmangel auch sehr schnell zerlegbar sind.

Für viele ist ein Anhänger eine simple und günstige Alternative zum #Lastenrad. Mit Auflaufbremse wird alles komplexer und teurer.

Ja, bei 10km Abfahrt mit 15% werden können die Radbremsen überlastet werden. Aber wie realitätsnah ist das?

@Dadmin @bratarat @Hufnagel @lerk @bmdv Wenn ich mir angucke wie viele Menschen hier mit 2 Kindern im Anhänger rumfahren, ist das nicht so weit her geholt
Dadmin mastodon (AP)
@strigga_ @bratarat Dass Anhänger unterwegs sind sicher nicht, aber wie viele fahren ständig Bergetappen damit?

Klar bleibt ein gewisses Restrisiko, aber in der Praxis passiert trotzdem fast nie was.

Rein physikalisch ist mit Auflaufbremse wohl sicherer als ohne. Aber rein physikalisch ist Tempo 130 auch sicherer und ökonomischer als 200. Trotzdem haben wir immer noch kein Tempolimit 🤷‍♂️

@Brat-A-Rat @Lieber ein richtiges Klapprad @BMDV @hollma @hufnagel @Andre

Wusstest du, dass die max. Beschleunigung in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln 1m/s² beträgt. Sowohl beim Beschlrunigen als auch bei der Notbremsung.
Das darf nicht überschritten werden.

Wenn nun im Fahrzeuginneren eine Rampe mit 10% Neigung vorhanden ist, und du stehst drauf, hat allein die horizontale Komponente deiner Gewichtskraft eine Beschleunigung durch die Schiefe Ebene 0.98m/s² also ~1m/s² wenn du einfach nur drauf ruhig stehst...und trotzdem gibts diese Rampen, obwohl die zulässige Längsbeschleunigung schon im Ruhezustand knapp erreicht wird...

I think we must be getting a cat 😉
