Alternative keyboard layouts really aren’t worth the effort of reprogramming my brain. I tried to play starcraft on one of those split keyboards ppl use for fps games and my brain almost fell out of my ears

It snows a lot in New Mexico and the winters are cold

Yeah Flagstaff is actually one of the colder cities in the continental us on average

New Mexico has mountains and cold winters. Also the summers are pretty mild. The hot places are the Arizona desert, nevada, etc. most of new mexico is “high desert” meaning it gets cold and it also snows.

There is a big terminology issue going on here.

A GA is fundamentally different from AI because a GA does a very specific thing: It evaluates a set of solutions (called a population) and uses some method to choose some of those to reproduce (selection) and then recombines some of them (crossover), and applies random changes (mutation) to generate the next population, and iterates hopefully increasing fitness over time. It is an algorithm for optimizing solutions, and is not specific to things like learning systems or neural nets.

GANs are neural networks trained in a specific process, where there are networks that are solving the problem and networks that are trying to generate difficult input, to put it simply.

Reinforcement learning is a broad learning approach that covers a ton of different learning algorithms all with their own secret sauce, and it can be applied to decision making agents of many kinds, including neural nets and AI systems, but also other things like simple robots with state machines.

It would be incredibly disingenuous to say GAs are AI/ML, equivalent to GANs or a kind of reinforcement learning because those things are all very different and specific in ways that they aren't compatible ideas.

For example, some GA researchers use GAs to generate patches to buggy code. This has nothing to do with learning, there is never a model of the program, the evolved solution is purely a patch description of code. It bears no resemblance to these other methods and has nothing to do with neural nets/ai/etc. It makes no sense to try to lump these things together when some are concepts, some are algorithms, some are specific neural network designs, all with different components, purposes, and applications.

Now they can be used in conjunction. Like if you have ever heard of NEAT, it is a GA for evolving neural networks, and the neural networks are AI/ML. Also you can evolve an agent for a reinforcement learning process, but they would be separate steps. Neither is a subset of the other.

IDK I work in a lab that does genetic algorithms work and I think most of the grad students/profs working on GAs would oppose that point of view

The NASA one is created by a genetic algorithm, not AI or machine learning

I’m with you, and so many people are saying “its just the makeup!” No its fucking not lol Im sure these guys in makeup is not a creepy sight. The creepy sight is the weird pixelation that happened to this image to make their eyes and mouths look like they are warped in evil ways lol.

No the makeup is fine its just that (probably the camera is bad and old) the eyes look like those fake eyes from AI images its so weird looking.

No like the eyeliner is fine, its like if u zoom in on the eyes it looks like that ai generated stuff where eyes come out wrong

Guys I’m freaking out. this picture is obviously demon shit and only a few ppl are commenting about it wtf

The idea for the sculpture is actually really cool but only if its like a small table piece so you can see what it is. The way it is you only see the weirdness and dont see what it actually is (two pairs of arms entwined)

Yeah the above poster you replied to is one of those people that are so wrong that even if they were right about the claim, they would still be wrong lol because the entire premise is false.

Like its not like queer ppl have it great in parts of the US now because gay marriage is legal, so how does their comment even make sense on any level lol.

Very well said!
