@wendinoakland @pixelfed A more accurate term for biased/manipulative algorithms is probably "biased/manipulative algorithms". While knowing that "algorithms" _can_ have less obvious side effects, it is important to "colloquially" point out that those are a subset of algorithms. I've yet to find a better term myself.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Given that algorithms are usually man-made "rule sets" which are designed for a certain program flow, I'd argue that there are no "independent" or "neutral" algorithms.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Chronology is biased as well. What if a random user does NOT want a chronological timeline and would prefer a "for you" feed, filled with whoever pays best?

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Precisely. TikTok would not be anywhere close to its current popularity if they would just have a chronological timeline. There are no "objectively good" algorithms.

@wendinoakland @pixelfed Yes I have set it to black, but that is not default. Try to log out and delete cookies or use an other device where you are not loged in, then you can see that whit is default.

Thanks to everyone who replied! I am a "yes, but...".
Yes, but you should clearly identify it as remote content or a remote profile.
People on here freak out sometimes when they see remote profiles or remote content on a Fediverse-enabled server. They say it has "shadow profiles" or "scraped content."
Clearly identifying that it comes from the Fediverse can help with this a lot.

@adamshostack agreed.

@Aoi_X_Kaizaki L is gonna get so many people killed trying to figure this out

@penryu did you give him food? This is, like, if a door dash commercial played in reverse.

@aeva the specific aspect I'm thinking about is that for "thrive", you start with the tongue in a "lisping" position, then for the "ai" sound you pull it back quite violently and then go into the voiced labiodental fricative to propel the spit you just scraped off your tongue with your teeth forward

Per capire meglio il problema geopolitico generale della massomafia in Italia, è necessario fare un saltino indietro nel tempo, tornando alle elezioni parlamentari del 4 marzo 2018, quando sono stati messi al potere parlamentare la Lega e il Movimento 5...

Bruteforcing Accidental Antenna Designs
Antenna design is often referred to as a black art or witchcraft, even by those experienced in the space. To that end, [Janne] wondered—could years of honed skill be replaced by bruteforcing the problem with the aid of some GPUs? Iterative experiments ensued.
[Janne]’s experience in antenna design was virtually non-existent prior to starting, having a VNA on hand but no other knowledge of the craft. Formerly, this was worked around by simply copying vendor reference designs when putting antennas on PCBs. However, knowing that sometimes a need for something specific arises, they wanted a tool that could help in these regards.
The root of the project came from a research paper using an FDTD tool running on GPUs to inversely design photonic nanostructures. Since light is just another form of radio frequency energy, [Janne] realized this could be tweaked into service as an RF antenna design tool. The core simulation engine of the FDTD tool, along with its gradient solver, were hammered into working as an antenna simulator, with [Janne] using LLMs to also tack on a validation system using openEMS, an open-source electromagnetic field solver. The aim was to ensure the results had some validity to real-world physics, particularly important given [Janne] left most of the coding up to large language models. A reward function development system was then implemented to create antenna designs, rank them on fitness, and then iterate further.
The designs produced by this arcane system are… a little odd, and perhaps not what a human might have created. They also didn’t particularly impress in the performance stakes when [Janne] produced a few on real PCBs. However, they do more-or-less line up with their predicted modelled performance, which was promising. Code is on Github if you want to dive into experimenting yourself. Experienced hands may like to explore the nitty gritty details to see if the LLMs got the basics right.
We’ve featured similar “evolutionary” techniques before, including one project that aimed to develop a radio. If you’ve found ways to creatively generate functional hardware from boatloads of mathematics, be sure to let us know on the tipsline!

@ami_angelwings There's no motive but my own. I cut my wrist. That's why.
