I agree it's obnoxious, but if it helps with funding: "ok, cool"

I've been on many planes where it was done like this - A320s I believe. Probably WestJet.

MDM does not imply surveillance. I wouldn't use it if it did. It does mean I can enforce full disk encryption and remotely wipe a machine if it is stolen, though.

I would qualify that "tech companies that don't know what they're doing wrt IT". Apple does have some features to allow a bit of flexibility, but unless you do all of your work via VDI or similar, I'd consider non-MDM devices to be a huge red flag,

"Directly from Apple" does not preclude monitoring and control, but it would've notified you on first boot if it were MDM enrolled.

Wow!

Your comment is perfectly fine - obviously. You even used 'seems'. You even even saved me from wasting my time reading another bullshit article about LLMs from someone who can't be bothered to learn anything about them. Thanks!

Are you being serious?

4o did a great job at this, both in terms of actually understanding it and explaining in a way that is very easy to follow. I suspect Claude would as well.

I pasted it here but the formatting got fucked.

Have you ever used an LLM?

I always specify the libraries I want it to use. If I'm not sure, or it introduces something I'm not familiar with, I spend a few minutes comparing similar libraries so I can.

I feel like I (probably?) agree with what you are saying, but this is a very confusing comment. You started out with an epistemological argument, and then jumped into an analogy that's so close to what is being discussed that on first read I thought you were just confused. I'm not sure anyone can continue the discussion in a meaningful way from what you've written because so many aspects of your comment are ambiguous or contradictory.

This argument is specious and boring: everything an LLM outputs is "hallucinated" - just like with us. I'm not about to throw you out or even think less of you for making this mistake, though; it's just a mistake.

That's most of it, though. Also, who cares about being charitable towards folks who would deny others compassionate care?

What audience was this written for?

> Again "killing oneself" is never the answer.

While well-intentioned, such blanket statements oversimplify a complex issue and are ultimately counterproductive. This topic deserves more nuanced discussion, especially on a platform known for thoughtful discourse.

Who said anything about that, though?

I hope you are joking.

It got me too - rotating to landscape helped.

What if, as human consciousness is an emergent property of complexity, so too are humans and DNA itself? Could it be that, just as consciousness arises from the intricate networks within the brain, life and its fundamental components—like DNA—emerge from an even deeper layer of complexity in the universe, suggesting that our very existence is a product of systems far beyond our current understanding?

You seem surprised, but any sort of live production requires this. Check out SonoBus, it achieves adequately low end-to-end latency even with network delays in the mix.

Perhaps I'm confused, but your question seems contradictory and ambiguous. You first imply (I think?) that ChatGPT is limited to web-sourced information, but then acknowledge the training set includes more than just the public web. Can you please clarify what you are asking?

Does this post actually seem LLM generated to you?

It's one thing to be an asshole, but you're also hilariously clueless.

Are you familiar with the change Apple made to app stack ordering where cmd+h no longer deprioritizes the window resulting in the wonderful cmd+h cmd+tab agghhhhhh cmd+h cmd+tab cmd+tab rage fest I haven't been able to stop inflicting upon myself every three seconds for years? I have yet to find a third-party app that fixes this. :)

Are you /8?

Especially when 'special treatment' is little more than basic consideration for you as a person.

Sex and breathing are similar, you know?

I think a lack of understanding can sometimes masquerade as disagreement. I appreciate your efforts here.

This is condescending, obnoxious, and disingenuous; "learn AI with me" for $19/month. He says "watch the first ten minutes", but good luck tolerating him for five.
