It seems like it used to be 35° but now it’s ~34°.

I don’t have access to the actually study but I would hypothesize that it’s likely because we are seeing more studies about things like this and as we collect more data that’s changing these values to be closer to what we see in the real world.

It’s also at 100% humidity in case that wasn’t clear.

Edit: ok so what he posted wasn’t wrong but the study said that it could be as low as that for some groups of people. For the average person it’s almost 10 degrees C higher which is lower than it used to be.

However for heat sensitive people (not sure what that means) it can be disturbingly low

100% but it might change enough

During COVID, I had multiple people shrug off how hard everything was with kids and disregard parents struggles. That's a cultural thing which is what studies like this are addressing and trying to help build momentum to change.

It's easier to build that momentum with data instead of just vibes because even though this is self-evident to both of us, we're not the hearts and minds that require changing.

It's similar to how young and single people will be expected to work longer hours because "they don't have to go home" as if that means that they don't need time off as well.

Totally. I was just being silly.

So true. We've been on a tax-cut & deregulate spiral for 40+ years and it feels like we're left with a government that can't accomplish anything anymore.

I'm hopeful with Harris but my god do we have to hold her feet to the fire.

His ass. This is a conspiracy theory that’s been going around for ages with dubious sources at best.

Uhhh I’m not trusting nobody named vault dweller about this particular topic

My only regret is that I have but 1 upvote to give you. This is a fantastic summary!

[–] admin@lemmy.haley.io 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right??? AP is left center?!? They report the literal facts so I guess facts are left center?

Wait that actually checks out…

This is a threat to any neural network that is being constantly trained. Hell it's even a problem with our brain's NN. We just call it "believing your own bullshit" or "getting high on your own supply".

The issue with NNs looking for cures or diseases (or anything that isn't trained off of the internet) is that they are basically out of training data. They'll need orders of magnitude more to get better and we just don't have that. We haven't figured out a way to get better off of less data and there's no real movement on that front either.

What we have right now is essentially a culmination of research that has been going on since the 1960's that was finally able to be realized with us figuring out:

  • We can map our NN variables to a matrix
  • We can use linear algebra to optimize the loss on that matrix
  • We can leverage video cards to crunch the linear algebra
  • We have the largest data set ever created in order to get our loss lower than ever before

With the next generation of AI photo editing tools built into the Google’s flagship Pixel 9 family, our basic assumptions about photographs capturing a reality we can believe in are about to be seriously tested — and @theverge shows us why.

“An explosion from the side of an old brick building. A crashed bicycle in a city intersection. A cockroach in a box of takeout. It took less than 10 seconds to create each of these images with the Reimagine tool in the Pixel 9’s Magic Editor. They are crisp. They are in full color. They are high-fidelity. There is no suspicious background blur, no tell-tale sixth finger. These photographs are extraordinarily convincing, and they are all extremely f---ing fake.” Take a look at the pictures for yourself as The Verge ponders the implications of these new capabilities.
