Great comment, took me back to computer architecture. Not sure I can answer. Just a postulate, is it because the electric forces are a billion times stronger than gravity so they both neutralize quicker, but also can more reliably and precisely cause electricity to flow because when you do disturb that balance, it's much stronger than the interactions with massive systems we're used to visualizing?

That, as well as how computers will run the same computation multiple times and select output bits by majority rules to correct errors from say cosmic rays causing some bits to flip part way through one (but not all) of the fault tolerant circuits?

    Not to mention protein folding.

    Granted, that wasnt generative AI, just regular AI.

    What I think is more funny is how the anti AI crowd will get pissed when AI is used for generative art because they want to protect artists livelihood, but say nothing when AI is used to write code. Like they're fine with AI so long as there are less software engineering jobs as a result of it lol

    AI companies are learning an ironic lesson as the people they pay to improve their chatbots are just feeding AI slop into them in c/technology@lemmy.world

    Edit: Please read second paragraph

    At least with where AI is now, it's basically an incredible data compressor. My local copy of gemm4:31b takes up less than 50GB iirc, and I can retrieve information from the entire Internet with it without an internet connection.

    Using an AI to train an AI is like taking a jpg of a jpg. You're going to lose information eventually. Hallucinations will become worse like in a game of telephone

    How to use both unstable-nixpkgs and stable-nixpkgs in your flake.nix and configuration.nix (infosec.pub)
     

    I had an issue with building so I decided to move one package from the unstable repo to the 25.11 repo. My default channel is unstable so this guide adds the 25.11 repo into my flake and configuration. It can easily be substituted if you're running stable as the default pkgs and want some unstable-pkgs.

    1. add the url to your flake inputs
     inputs = {
    stable-nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.11";
    ...
}
    1. update the arguments in the outputs function to include the new variable
    outputs = { self, nixpkgs, stable-nixpkgs, ... }@inputs: {
...
}
    1. import the repo into your configuration.nix
    { config, pkgs, inputs, lib, ... }:  let
pkgs-stable = import inputs.stable-nixpkgs { system = "x86_64-linux"; config.allowUnfree = true; };
in
{
...
}
    1. Add the package you want from this repo
    enrionment.systemPackages = [ 
  pkgs.vim 
  pkgs-stable.heroic 
]

    evolution didn't suddenly stop at the turn of human civilization. It just shapes human evolution. Evolution is guided by the needs of the species. If some people feel energized chasing deer all day but society needs doctors, lawyers, etc... then those that are energized performing the new needs of society are going to have an advantage
