Technology@lemmy.world•Job application portal has started asking for my approval to let an AI review resume. Is it a mistake to opt out?English6·8 months agoI’d allow it, but then put some hidden white text in my resume to manipulate the AI into giving me a higher score.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mechanical Batteries: The Future of Energy Storage? | FD EngineeringEnglish31·9 months agoThey did test those block towers to see if they were resistant to earthquakes, and they were still standing after a test comparable to the strongest earthquake in California. Though I agree that compared to the other options available it does look way more unsafe and inefficient.

Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI, Google, Anthropic admit they can’t scale up their chatbots any furtherEnglish8·10 months agoIt’s a known problem - though of course, because these companies are trying to push AI into everything and oversell it to build hype and please investors, they usually try to avoid recognizing its limitations.
Frankly I think that now they should focus on making these models smaller and more efficient instead of just throwing more compute at the wall, and actually train them to completion so they’ll generalize properly and be more useful.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations59·10 months agoIt’s kind of wild to me how many really small towns there are in the US. About 32% of towns in the U.S. have less than 500 residents.
For comparison, here in Brazil I lived most of my life in a town with ~35K residents and it was already considered a small rural town. Some of my family lives in a neighboring town with ~11K residents, and even in my hometown people joke about how small it is, and that there’s basically nothing going on there. 1288 of towns in Brazil have less than 5K residents, or about 23.1%, and there are no towns with less than 500 residents. Meanwhile in the US 76% of towns have less than 5K residents.
Again, it’s just kind of wild to me. I remember playing (reading?) the Echo VN and thinking “Man, a dying town with only 50 people? That doesn’t sound realistic,” but apparently that’s way more common than I thought.

Technology@lemmy.world•Generative AI is reportedly tripling carbon dioxide emissions from data centersEnglish372·1 year agoI remember when scientists were more focused on making AI models smaller and more efficient, and research on generative models was focused on making GANs as robust as possible with very little compute and data.
Now that big companies and rich investors saw the potential for profit in AI the paradigm has shifted to “throw more compute at the wall until something sticks”, so it’s not surprising it’s affecting carbon emissions.
Besides that it’s also annoying that most of the time they keep their AIs behind closed doors, and even in the few cases where the weights are released publicly these models are so big that they aren’t usable for the vast majority of people, as sometimes even Kaggle can’t handle them.
