Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Ai sucks ass, stop using it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

It doesn't. It's just overhyped.

Working with pretrained models implemented in FPGAs for particle identification and tracking. It's much faster and exactly as accurate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Run, the butlerian jihad is already going your way.

The actual model required for general purpose likely lies beyond the range of petabytes of memory.

These models are using gigabytes and the trend indicates its exponential. A couple more gigabytes isn't going to cut it. Layers cannot expand the predictive capabilities without increasing the error. I'm sure a proof of that will be along within in the next few years.

"Come on man, I just need a couple more pets of your data and I will totally be able to predict you something useful!".
It's capacitors flip polarity in anticipation.

"I swear man! It's only a couple of orders of magnitude more, man! And all your dreams will come true. I'm sure I'll service you right!"

Well if it needs it, right?

"There is no free lunch.", is a saying in ML research.

That's just a saying.

GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, CORAL

For the meme? The Walking Dead. For the content? No idea.

Pretty much the only thing it's even remotely good for is as a toy.

It is not even faster usually.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

And if it is faster, it just converges to the wrong answer faster

So what you're saying, Dad, is it's nascent and already faster? Gotcha.
