N-gated Hacker News🎨 Ah, the thrilling world of patterns in art! Where <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/repetition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repetition</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/variation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#variation</a> are apparently the new black, and Andy Warhol's soup cans are the cheeky rebels of the art world. Clearly, the MIT Press Reader has cracked the code of making art sound like a riveting science experiment. 🥣🔬 <a href="https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/why-repetition-in-art-pleases-the-brain/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/why-repetition-in-art-pleases-the-brain/</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/artpatterns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artpatterns</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AndyWarhol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AndyWarhol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MITPressReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MITPressReader</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HackerNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HackerNews</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ngated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ngated</a>

AaronJust saw an article about how people are talking more like ChatGPT.Bananas are cloned. When a pest or fungus evolves a way around the banana's defenses, the entire crop is destroyed due to a lack of variation.We're already well aware of the dangers of monoculture. They have been discussed not just with respect to agriculture but also to *human* diversity as well. In particular, it is well-understood that neurodiversity and cultural diversity strengthen, rather than weaken, the performance of teams.What sorts of vulnerabilities are we creating in our society when so many of us spend time conversing with and learning from a bot that follows the same patterns of speech and "reasoning", with the same assumptions, biases, and failure modes?<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#diversity</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/neurodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#neurodiversity</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/monoculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#monoculture</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/variation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#variation</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#culture</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/bias" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bias</a>

Hélène Collon ⏚REN, <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Portugal</a>'s grid operator, claims the outage that's affected Portugal was caused by a fault in the Spanish electricity grid, related to a "rare atmospheric phenomenon".  Due to extreme <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/temperature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#temperature</a> variations in <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Spain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spain</a>, there were "anomalous <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/oscillations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oscillations</a>" in very high-voltage lines. It says this is known as "induced <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/atmospheric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#atmospheric</a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/variation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#variation</a>", which in turn led to oscillations which caused synchronisation failures between systems. That led to successive disturbances across the interconnected European network.  Given the complexity of the issue, it could take up to a week for the network to fully normalise again. »<a href="https://news.sky.com/story/spain-portugal-power-outage-latest-large-parts-of-countries-affected-with-traffic-lights-not-working-and-phone-lines-down-13357538" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://news.sky.com/story/spain-portugal-power-outage-latest-large-parts-of-countries-affected-with-traffic-lights-not-working-and-phone-lines-down-13357538</a>
