People are arguing it's human level intelligence...

No he says in the actual talk which model it occurred on and it was an older model he was using that caused that to occur with Marseille. They have since corrected it from doing that anymore. It was only used to illustrate the prediction machine that it is...

I don't see the many weighted words as a weakness, I see it opening up what's under the hood of the prediction machine that it is.

LLMs are very cool tech, definitely not a model hater, the use case on when to use it makes a difference, it's not AGI.

LLMs are awesome awesome tech!

A lot of people seem to think it's human level intelligence.

fair reply to an hour video, Scott is just so good to hear his talk is better than I can explain it...

go to 24 minutes and 07 seconds.

it's statistically determining what the next word should be based on all the text it's been trained on. It's not intelligence and he shows what probability it puts on each word that it chooses, but also shows a lot of the other words it was thinking of using. In a later part he shows how it uses words that are not the highest probability (and you question why did it go this route, it's not more correct), but the user never sees this, they see what they think is the correct answer always...

he also shows how context you feed it has a lot to do with what it returns... to the point he can get it to return the capital of France is Marseille, just by typing Marseille a bunch of times before the question. Human intelligence doesn't get confused like that.

And it's not a "hallucination", it's just probability of the next token prediction based on the information it's been trained on and fed, it's not intelligence.

watch this and see if you think it has intelligence by the end

"been about control and their profit margins."

they have no profit margins haha, it's huge piles of cash on fire...

Yes I was referring to the scale of replacement these CEOs are talking about because of AI.

What you describe makes sense and has always been the case with new technology overall

You'd think we would see a large spike in unemployment if AI was reducing the number of employees needed for jobs the way these CEO talk about AI replacing people...

right click on the app and select the window you want...

If it's tied to web APIs, libraries, or OS version feature APIs that are deprecated it will suddenly stop working.

I did MP3s on my plex server for a while but with endless new music added to my playlists it became a hassle and Apple Music was just convenient and Shazam adding any song I hear and like is just too easy...it also plays perfectly on my Apple Watch over cellular when I go for a run, but everyone has their own use case and where they want to spend their time...

If it lost it 10 years ago... where's website that still has the hacker ethos?

We already had Developers and the system in place this was a tiny feature in the scheme of things.

Internally it gives us a competitive advantage of the data being in our system from the beginning of the pipeline through the rest of the system where the data would be needed anyway.

What did the 3 apps do?

I did the same for one app to give me my speed in MPH as huge text as a HUD in a car

We were paying for Salesforce, then built the features we needed to do the same tracking into our interal tool and got rid of Salesforce to save money and simplify the data internally across departments

We are a C# .NET Core shop

Yup, better to die on that hill and have a code base that's manageable vs a mess that gets out of your control that you still die on!

I'm in a unique situation where I started the company so there's nobody above me.

I reject commits like this, make them re-write it and explain why such and such coding will never be allowed in our code base.

Forces the change in coding practice.

I love azure app service because I can focus on our code and code security and leave server management, OS security and physical security to Microsoft.

No servers, no VMs, no containers, just our code to focus on.

ah, thanks for the tip

What is a good alternative that allows me out of the box with no extra hardware to install a plex server, connect to Mullvad VPN and start / monitor downloads directly from the NAS device web interface or mobile App?

I had someone do this in my C# / .NET Core / SQL coding test interview as well, I didn't just end it right there as I wanted to see if they could solve the coding test in the time frame allowed.

They did not, I now state you can search anything online but can't copy and paste from an LLM so as not to waste my time.

I have daughters that love nancy drew novels, read to them before bed, currently on book 28.

for a boy the Hardy boys is the equivalent..

Also depends on the age but other good ones are:

Artemis Fowl Alex Rider Berenstain Bears

I just remote desktop into a full Windows computer in the cloud to do my C# development in Visual Studio Code.

Works from my iPhone, iPad with Magic Keyboard or Huawei Mate XT depending on what I'm out and about with for the day.

Folding bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse

Microsoft Bluetooth folding keyboard is great, fits in my back pocket.

which UMPC do you use for this?

Which AR glasses are good enough in screen quality for coding?

Do you wear the AR glasses when you're out and about like a coffee shop?

This is my dream coding machine with a 10" tri-fold screen and Bluetooth keyboard when on the go and connected to a monitor / real keyboard when home.

I have the huwai xt fold, folds out to a 10.3 inch screen. I remote to a windows 11 computer and can do full development on it with a folding keyboard with builtin trackpad

Didn't OpenAI steal everyone's data they could consume from the internet? Actively being sued by the NY Times and others for this...
