Then why do you keep engaging with me after I’ve said my piece?
If you’re talking about the link guy, that’s not helping. Usually, people do that just to be a smart ass, especially on tech forums with their “go read the manual.” Yikes to those guys. Besides, they weren’t “blown off” as you said, there was also proper response if you read the comment once more.
The other people who were responding to me were actually quite reasonable, it’s mainly you I have had issues with.
Decided to check your comment history. You DO just want to bitch about stuff. It seems you have a problem with everybody’s opinion.
And instead of actually explaining yourself, what do you do? “It’s not me, it’s you”. Every. Single. Time.
Dude, that’s miserable.
Have a nice day. Like, genuinely, go have a day off with your loved ones or smth.
So, instead of helping me out when I ask, you choose shaming?
If you just wanted to bitch about AI instead of having a proper conversation, you could’ve just said so.
Touché
Finally, someone gets it!
Instead of going away, the AI will transform. It’s sort of in a bubble state rn. Once it pops, the fields where it’s useful will keep on using it, whilst those applications that have no real grounds for existing will either have their plugs pulled or resources cut.
Not compared to models from 00s or 10s…
What’s with the reading comprehension, people? I was talking about pre-AI boom vs. now, not now vs. 1-2 years ago, c’mon.
Pointing to a wiki page instead of actually explaining stuff isn’t going to change my mind.
Now, if you’re talking specifically about LLMs, however (which you could’ve just said so, ffs). I think their scope of application and resources wasted on them will be significantly reduced. Look at what happened to blockchains and NFT. Basically, I expect the same to happen here.
Apparently, not to me. Explain.
Edit: Downvoting a person for asking clarification? Shame on you lot.
It’s not going anywhere because it’s already been here for a very long time, you just didn’t know about it
What people call “AI” is just Machine Learning.
Chatbots, OCR, Text-to-Speech, Speech-to-Text, Computer Vision, Web Search, Spam filtering or Fraud detection, Personalized ADs, even your phone’s camera processing algorithm.
It’s all Machine Learning, but now under new and fancy “AI” name. And it’s been here for decades.
The reason it blew up this much only now is because people realized that the more data you feed into it, the better the output becomes. And so they started exploring it more, to the extent of causing valid ethical concerns.
And they don’t pay for you skipping them, which is a win for advertisers, but a loss for Google.
What I myself don’t understand about the whole “I have to go into the settings” spiel is that… How is it a disadvantage?
Modern games pick predetermined settings based on your PC hardware anyway. Don’t want to tinker? Don’t. You have that option, and it works well.
What you also have is an option to change those settings to YOUR preference. This isn’t available on consoles, is it?
My only complaint was that you have to really try to make a similarly-priced build cost $3k, I don’t know what you would even put there to bring the price that high up.
Other than that, yeah, Steam Machine costs about what a regular PC would cost.
if I walk into my local Micro Center and try to build a comparable machine, I’m getting dangerously close to $3,000.
I have a massive issue with this claim. Just what kind of parts (comparable in performance) do you choose to bring it up to that point?
This claim sounds bogus. Send the pcpartpicker list.
At most, you should end up at like 1500$, but only if you spend on looks or are clueless of what you’re doing.
It’s really not difficult to make a PC with similar or possibly better performance at that price.
I’m saying it’s not needed at all.
It’s good for teaching kids quickly, but it’s not a real rule you have to follow.
Well, in my case, the order of operation in uni wasn’t brought up even once. But it was also a prestigious one with notoriously challenging math courses, so I may be a little out of touch in that regard. (Let me brag, ok?)
No, I do not think those conventions are needed. Because they aren’t fundamental. You don’t really know math until you understand how PEMDAS or w/e came to be and why it is the way that it is.
Not following those conventions doesn’t automatically make your solution incorrect. That’s the most important thing.
It shouldn’t matter how you solve as long as it is a correct solution.
There may, indeed, be inconsistencies in how things are written out. Whether 2x is the same as 2×x, for example. It’s common practice that it isn’t, but it’s also often not important.
If you write out the solution, people will understand what you mean by simply following it.
Compare:
6÷(2+4) = 6÷2(1+2) = 6÷2÷3 = 1
And
6÷(6÷3×(1+2)) = 6÷2(1+2) = 6÷2×3 = 9
They are written in the same manner, but those are 2 different equations to begin with, with their respective correct solution. For the same reason why 2x and 2×x may be the same or not. (Replace 1+2 with x, you’ll get 6/2x vs. 6x/2)
It’s not a matter of order of operations, but a matter of context. Whether juxtaposition took place or not. In real research, 2x always has a context.
Besides, the equations aren’t usually written out that way, aren’t they? You would do this (except for the dot in multiplication, unless it’s needed)
Not really.
Math, at it’s basis, doesn’t have an order of operation, as I’ve illustrated in my previous comment by breaking the left-to-right rule, doing addition before multiplication and ignoring brackets until the very end.
It only exists as a method of teaching students because it works. It’s simple and easy to remember.
The rest is me explaining how basic properties work:
Instead, mathematicians have long derived the basic properties that are supposed to be taught to students later on and is pretty much the first thing you learn in mathematical analysis in uni.
Those are:
This is what math is. Every equation is solved using those properties. Every theorem can be broken down into those actions. (Technically speaking, you can break it down even more - into addition only)
This is why in GEMA, BODMAS, etc, you have multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. Because (a×b)+c=a×(b+c) isn’t a property that exists. Try it. The sides won’t always be equal.
And those properties are also the reason why you don’t have to abide by an order of operations. Commutative and associative properties directly contradict them without making the solutions incorrect.
In addition to Vampire Survivors:
Holocure
Fun fact, The Forgotten City was originally a Skyrim mod.
And I gotta say, the story in that one was impeccable.
Let me just, ahem
1-2+3/(3+3)×2+3×6/3 = 1-2+3/(3+3)×2+1×6 = 1-2+3/(3+3)×2+6 = 7-2+3/(3+3)×2 = 7-2+3/(6+6) = 7-2+(1/2+1/2) = 5+(1/2+1/2) = 5+1=6
Ahh, yes, DMAMDSBA :P
Let’s just say BODMAS/PEMDAS isn’t all end-all be-all. They’re good, but there’s also better

I told you that you could stop responding a while ago. And you’re calling me clueless, smh
