Unplug anything not in use - scary how much it saves on the power bill.
Keep ceiling fans on at all times if you have tp run the AC a lot - it helps and they use very little power.
Wash laundry and dishes at night - recently learned a lot of places charge less for power at night. It is an area thing, so this may not apply.
Buy your groceries in bulk when you can, and meal prep when possible - it allows you to buy items when they are on sale and have a meal frozen and ready to quick thaw and heat on days you would have to eat out.
Move money around in bank accounts - banks offer promotionals during holidays, when college starts, etc. Sometimes you can get better interest rates, a gift card, etc for moving money and you'll keep your account number (aka: no changing autopay).
Ask about different phone plans every other month - same as above, they do promotionals. Most phone companies pay them on commission. If they can somehow get you on that new customer plan and get you that discount, they'll do it and you get your same plan for less.
Fix all leaky faucets, especially ojtside ones - you don't realize just how much that increases your water bill until after you fix them.
You can put a container in the toilet tank to displace water - this results in less water used to flush and you save water.

Elephant trucks are large tubes connected to a fan that pull and push air from one room to another. They are just taking air from the hot shed into the room and out of the room into the shed(more a warehouse than a shed)

I had all the game boy versionโ€™s before d/p and platinum

Till gen 5

i only just managed to take revenge for child me when doing my ribbon master challenge. lv 100 ninetails + other pokemon i brought with me through the other 4 gens.

fighting her in gen 4 wasnt a problem though becuse i had more experence with pokemon at that point lol

have you played legend arceus? how was your reaction when fighting ||volo + giratina||

it was my first encounter with her in gen 4 and during the time that I was facing her, there really was not a lot of information on how to fight her yet, so I was basically going in blind

I see I havenโ€™t read much on the lore tbh

#

I should probably check it out

rustic basin
#

"After long years in the ever-snowcapped mountains of Alola, this Vulpix has gained power over ice."

#

basicly it needed to adapt since its hard to keep a fire going when its cold.

#

trying to find where i got the island guardian thing from

icy pecan
#

Ok but donโ€™t the ice exists before the original vulpix because true pokeballs wasnโ€™t even made in the hisuie region I donโ€™t think

icy pecan
#

OK so it doesnโ€™t the story take place back in time

rustic basin
#

talking about legends?

icy pecan
#

Yes

#

Isnโ€™t that where the ice vulpix is ?

rustic basin
#

someone from alola brought alolen vulpix to hissui and you are given it. normal vulpix can be found normally in hissui

#

alolen vulpix is from alola. they lived in the cold peaks of the tropical region

#

they exist at the same time

icy pecan
#

Oh ok

rustic basin
#

regional variants where introduced in gen 7

icy pecan
#

See, I thought that they just added one and then they made it to where the original came after the ice

rustic basin
#

hisuian zorark and zorua came into exsistence becuse they where forsed to hissui, then over time became exstramly rare compared to there original counter part. again they exsisted at the same time but the original came first

icy pecan

Well maybe you can explain a little more stuff tomorrow I gotta head to bed thank you for clearing some stuff up

Total war Warhammer is exactly how fantasy shouldn't be done

#

Like, I enjoy many aspects of the game but there's some things that are simply a slap in the face to the player

#

You're facing a faction, your two armies seem balanced, so you engage, to realise that faction has the most OP spells and 3/4's of your army is dead before the enemy even makes contact with your frontline

#

If it's not magic then it's some niche unit that counters you even if the unit type isn't your counter, you have to know a roster of dozens of units to fight remotely in a competent manner

#

This is exactly what you DON'T want on a fantasy game, you respect unit types and you don't have dozens of unit types even if you think it's cool, you don't make magic the most OP thing in the universe, cause nobody likes WMD's in their fantasy setting even if it's cool to have on a story

#

People wonder why cheesing is so prevalent in Warhammer 3, jeez, I can't imagine

#

the game isn't Asymetric, it's a fucken Picasso

And to be "fair" maybe we should be browsing in incognito mode doing these things as a rule of thumb, maybe sites could adapt and have something to realise if you're using it or not and show you a warning

I mean, it's something that will improve our lives in a way we're not fully capable of understanding and these changes are not stopping for anyone and governments are desperate for the GDP growth these industries and tiny increases in productivity will bring

If they did have Quantum encryption, they would absolutely not commercialize it, that's like working out nuclear fusion in your secret labs, it's an infathomable strategic advantage you would not just sell to the highest bidder, to then have it leaked to the enemy

Can we freaking teach an AI to understand its own logic and be able to synthesise it?

If youโ€™re referring to Craftopia Iโ€™m sure they have separate channels for those.

# small berry Can we freaking teach an AI to understand its own logic and be able to synthesis...

Oh, here's a comedy line from the MS blog. Emphasis mine

Entirely new, powerful AI experiences

Copilot+ PCs leverage powerful processors and multiple state-of-the-art AI models, including several of Microsoftโ€™s world-class SLMs, to unlock a new set of experiences you can run locally, directly on the device. This removes previous limitations on things like latency, cost and even privacy to help you be more productive, creative and communicate more effectively.

#

I'd also love for an AI to be able to "Explain" itself

small berry
#

just with what we've seen in gaming there's things that make you wonder if AI can expand basically every field of sciences with how it comprehends the reality it has access to

queen vale
#

It would be amazing, but we first absolutely have to fix the hallucination lying problems before we can start to trust it's output - though any output should be peer reviewed anyway as it's science, and unless it's replicable it's not a thing. ๐Ÿคฃ

small berry
#

I mean, sure we can't make it explain metaphysical things but more a step by step logic on why it moved a thing here or why it did this thing now, we should be able to back up the results with models, kinda like how we learn how to do things as babies

#

the more advanced the models used to predict the outcome with the AI steps the easier it will be to understand why it does the things it does

#

we don't need to know exactly why it does a thing to understand that it works and to some extent why it works

queen vale
#

I dunno, depending on the environment it's used in it would be very important to know why it does things - why did that robot arm identify that engineer's hand as a tool and try to pick it up is a pretty critical thing

small berry
#

obviously all of this would be applied in theoretical fields

#

or benign phyisical actions

queen vale
#

"Because we use our hands as a tool to open bottles" whilst a reasonable example of an output, is semantically broken in the environment it's in

small berry
#

rather than it's physical applications

#

stuff we can monitor

queen vale
#

That's the thing, what I've described is "logic", but not the logic we'd expect

#

It's a really cool thing, but also a good lens to look at how a learning model can end up well outside it's expected behaviour paths out of the blue

small berry
#

Are these bad things if it's done in a controlled environment that will only translate to the real world if humans have approved it

#

the AI breaking the physics, doing things outside its intended behaviour, are those bad things?

queen vale
queen vale
small berry
#

I'm not talking about giving the AI control over anything directly but rather an overseer relation

#

and in that relation the more we understand why it agrees or disagrees can be gamebreaking

queen vale
#

Even as an overseer, the AI could allow or encourage practices it sees as "logical" for the thing it's monitoring

small berry
#

thus we wouldn't see a sense to applying that so we wouldn't

#

eventually we might understand why

What if some of these things we don't understand actually make sense

queen vale
# small berry thus we wouldn't see a sense to applying that so we wouldn't

Warning labels are there for a reason, and if someone tells someone to do something, people can be quite easily tripped into it

Let's take an Amazon Warehouse package picker in a warehouse.
An AI tells it to go through an optimal path to pick the products
It routes a large group of people into one area as there are a lot of items that are needed from that area
That area then becomes crowded, but people are just following the instructions as if they don't they get penalised, and have to "Trust" in the AI
The crowding leads to one person bumping into another, causing a trip or fall accident, perhaps even a crushing accident if an object drops onto them.

Who's at fault here?

#

The crowding incident is say 6 people in a space around the size of your average corridor

small berry
queen vale
#

The problem here is the workers know they will suffer consequences for not following the instructions (See Amazon drivers having to piss in bottles to meet timelines as an example)

small berry
#

that has nothing to do with an AI but with companies and their practices

#

they might love to do things, they not always can

queen vale
#

The AI is the one routing people, and providing the data to time things.
We, as the humans, are blindly following the outputs instead of adjusting the AI to accomadate our human needs

small berry
queen vale
#

The Legal responsibility yes, is on the business, but the decisions being made are driven by AI provided data on "optimal" outcomes and process, and the humans are just accepting the output as "Well it must know"

small berry
#

the AI might give a full mapping of how something can be done but if the result isn't what we want then we shouldn't blindly follow it

#

that's basic practicality

queen vale
small berry
#

thinking an AI process will drive us into insanity cause it's doing things we don't understand with unexpected outcomes is obviously what would happen so obviously it will never happen

#

the role it would have would be as an assistant ALWAYS and never in any way shape or form legally pressure an user to accept it

#

obviously 20% of the things it tells us makes no sense to us cause we know what we're doing so we're going to omit it as AI doing AI things

queen vale
#

I'm not saying it'd drive us into insanity, just that it will have consequences we can't plan for, and the other concern regarding the assistant is you are meant to trust anyone who acts as an assistant to be acting in your best interests and know your limitations, I cannot see any model, even well trained, being that trustworthy as it stands

small berry
#

Do we think Google is the know all be all in the universe? No, do we trust it as such and pay for the consequences? Yes

queen vale
#

If I had an assistant who gave me useless info, advice or tried to set me up in impractical situations 1/5 of the time they are working I'd be concerned about their competence

small berry
#

So it wouldn't happen

#

So it would be limited to Practical stuff

#

stuff we can predict, but can't be bothered to think off the top of our heads or check

queen vale
#

(For the record I enjoy these conversations and I'm not being combatative and appreciate you are not being either!)

small berry
#

I know how to cook an omelet, but I might need an AI to remind me and maybe give me tricks to improve it

#

I know how to drive to work, an AI might be aware of traffic and recommend an alternative

queen vale
#

I can easily see models routing you in a more "Optimal" way for the driving, but this "just happens" to pass by a bunch of billboards that "recently" were set up, say for McDonalds and such, and then "happen" to route you by a Drive thru

#

Because Capitalism

small berry
#

if we can't understand the thought process behind an AI advice, then we won't use it

#

that's the simple explanation I can give you I think

small berry
#

people won't trust an AI with things that don't make sense to them

queen vale
small berry
#

But to be fair that mostly happens to dumb people making the wrong use of the tool

#

which is inevitable

queen vale
#

Yep, and working in IT I encounter a .. lot .. of dumb people misusing the tools but happen to get the outcome they want (Using Excel as a fucking database STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP THE VOICES)

small berry
#

roads are maintained and changed "constantly" so a marginal instance of bad experiences is normal

#

the best thing one can internalize when analyzing products, or at least something that I think will serve me good is just that, thinking about how practical a thing has to be to be adopted and as someone that is in crypto I can tell you you have to blend it and scoop it inside peoples stomachs for them to care

queen vale
#

Yep, unfortunately very true

small berry

Anyway, even the tiniest implementation of AI into our lives will change it forever, even more than the internet did

Example 1: my computer would not turn on. We are not allowed to force start it. I phone IT, leave a message explaining I cannot turn on my computer, ask for instruction. I wait 2 hours and do not get a reply. Finally say f it bc I can't sit around doing nothing and fix it myself.
5 minutes after I called, IT emailed me the instructions >.>
I emailed back asking how I was supposed to read these instructions without a computer?

Example 2: tried work from home. Have a laptop and second monitor hooked up. Was using second monitor for discord. I couldn't get the work interface to detect the second monitor even though I followed all the instructions. I explained to IT that I can move the interface between the two minotors, but it will not open on both. IT, "are you sure you have a second monitor hooked up?"

Stocks and forex have a real value as they grow based on economic activities. Crypto only grows based on buying the coins and adoption of finding uses for them. They have much longer verification times and it takes absurdly more power to verify a single transaction.

"Oh mahn my retirement is in a pyramid scheme ๐Ÿ˜ฅ "

#

What is driving the economy is not based on economic principles that we have studied for the last hundred years

#

if liquidity deems crypto a reliable enough asset and it's making the biggest returns of any asset in history, then it will pump cause of it being limited structurally

#

If from that we get a good enough technology that can work as a transaction currency, then that's a plus and we'll get there, we're there.

for now it will be a speculatory and investment store of value

and that's okay cause that gets us adoption
