So it's OK now? Or it wasn't OK then or now?

You claim about fallacies later, but this is a also a fallacy.

I imagine the entire Joe Rogan sphere with being anti vax (or vax skeptical)... While promoting a billion supplements.

If your HSM vendor isn't actively working on/have a release date for GA PQ, you should probably get a new vendor.

It's much easier to talk about how something is deficient/untested than to do the testing yourself.

The same site that complains so much about replication crises in science too...

It's not a cost for me to scrape LLM.

It is a cost for me for LLM to scrape me.

Why should I care about costs that have when they don't care about the costs I have?

Memory safety doesn't mean it's safe. And C++ doesn't mean it's unsafe.

Browsers are in C++, do you not use them? Curl is in C, do you not use it? Kernel is C...

I think android is a big difference here. What about excel or Google sheets? Word?

If you're building win32 you're not targeting android.

When would you want that when it wouldn't be covered by more domain-specific use cases?

Oh good. So you'll still be dead, and they might get a reprimand. If you're lucky they'll lose their job.

You want to know why so many people either jump straight to comments or use alternate sources (archive, llms)? Because if you load the actual site, it freaking blows to use the damn thing.

So much hostile user design.

Edit: NPR gets a little shout out for being able to close their annoying pop-ups by clicking anywhere that's not the notification. So it's still crappy that it hijacks the screen, but not awful I guess?

Who are the bagholders in these scenarios?

If it's a completely binary choice of "election was valid" and "election was invalid" without any partial verifications of results, I think it's still a massive step back.

By which I mean: paper ballots have problems. But a fault in a handful of ballots doesn't mean the rest of the ballots need to get tossed out.

I do not believe that a system managed by humans can be faultless.

Having reviewed a lot of Ai-written python code, I think it's absolute nonsense.

It never picks a style, it'll alternate between exceptions and then return codes.

It'll massively overcomplicate things. It'll reference things that straight up don't exist.

But boy is it brilliant at a fuzzy find and replace.

It's a reputation economy. Like review sites. They start off truthful, and then as time goes on incentives shift to bad actors to subvert it. Or they just sell out their reputation.

Yelp, TripAdvisor, wire cutter, hell even Google results themselves.

Once you start poisoning that well, it's difficult if not impossible to claw it back.

There's a consistent Microsoft design?

Maybe they should stop insulting their users with the slop they put out and charge for then.

It was a happy guillotine. The French are also off the hook because they were so damn happy to be guillotining people.

I see this response as the exact same one about tax cheating and how the rich will just move away or be better at cheating taxes.

Did we forget how to discover and punish bad actors? Do you think we should just do nothing and let casual bad behavior go because some people are gonna be abusive? No. I refuse to accept that. It is not your false dichotomy.

If people abuse the system, fine and punish them. More than they profit off of the bad actions.

To me, the "patching" that is happening anytime some finds an absolutely glaring hole in how AIs work is so intellectually dishonest. It's the digital equivalent of house flippers slapping millennial gray paint on structural issues.

It can't math correctly, so they force it to use a completely different calculator. It can't count correctly, unless you route it to a different reasoning. It feels like every other week someone comes up with another basic human question that results in complete fucking nonsense.

I feel like this specific patching they do is basically lying to users and investors about capabilities. Why is this OK?

In some German dialects, "potato" is translated as "earth apple".

So yeah, I am comparing apples and potatoes.

We are living under a fascist regime.

It's why Hugo Boss is only a footnote in history for being a huge part of the Nazi regime right? Right?

Nope. Other way around. Their Nazi support is a footnote in their Wikipedia page.

Nah. You really think they are powerless?

As ever xkcd holds true - https://xkcd.com/538/

Sometimes rebuilding a tool makes it better. You hopefully learn from the past.

Any good alternatives people are using? I've used Nova for absolutely ages

Why do you immediately jump to saying DEI?

You say DEI then describe brown nosing. That's a thing that happens in any org.

Sounds like a nondeterministic nightmare

If you can produce something that works 80% of the time for 5% of the cost? People take that all the time when they buy cheap shit off Temu or Amazon.

They almost completely just give money back if it fails/sucks, and they are still coming out ahead.

I don't understand why we don't have a law that specifies an operating-system level input that will always close an ad.

No hunting for tiny X's. No shifting DOM to dodge clicks. Hit Esc and it stops. For iOS and Android force it as part of the UI, like the volume buttons, back/home buttons.

That's only because of LLMs consuming pre-existing discussions on SO. They aren't creating novel solutions.
