hey shut up

I have never been into conspiracy theories and haven't read shit about what they say about moon landings.
I am however beginning to think that it's more likely that the moon landings were faked, rather than that we were there but haven't done manned moon landings in more than half a century even though or technology has progressed immensely - despite the lack of "cold war motivation".
Are there any way we can confirm it from a distance, that it actually happened?

can someone explain or link article/tutorial about how generation functions work with transformers (NLP)?
i understand the architecture, how it works etc but i have no fucking clue what the parameters to the generation functions are, what beam search is, why for the same input different outputs can be generate etc and it's completely ommited in everything i come across
if i had to guess then since logits go into the classifier head that outputs basically probabilities of every word occuring next, then beam search/etc are ways to choose words from that probability vector?

I mean, how else are we supposed to act on issues involving complicated scientific matters? Most subjects regarding science require extreme specialization, while the general public is simply unable to understand scientific methodology, let alone identify and understand important papers for knowing a subject in depth. Not to mention that most people simply don't have the time. Yeah, the experts may be wrong, but their chances of being wrong are a lot lower than someone with no background in it. This is not an authority appeal fallacy, this is just how things are.

We only need science to understand the world. Philosophy is meaningless garbage.
