Yes, but then if you have the kind of systemic issues that need mental health care an extra six months isn't going to break the bank. It's unpleasant and a long time, but it's a pretty far cry from the US nightmare scenario

For the average programmer the infinite layers of abstraction, libraries and middleware isn't deterministic either. The LLMs actually honest to god being probabilistic estimators doesn't change anything about what they produce or how they see their own stuff.

You can reopen the window you're missing with ctrl+shift+n, the same way you open a formerly closed tab (only that's not n, that's t). I do agree it's irritating this isn't made more plain.

They're treated the same because they are the same, which people with domain knowledge (i.e. power users) are aware of.

A terrible way to get them to stop doing something you don't personally agree with is by starting your post with a bad idea, support it with a lie and close it with a personal attack.

If you won't remember important conversations correctly (which you will not, given that your memory is garbage), or you can't distinguish words very well it is very useless to have a fallback recording and a transcript. For people who are generally hard of hearing it's also very useful.

I guess if you're very good at remembering things and have no disabilities, the use-cases are only bad. That said, we shouldn't let assholes fuck things up.

If you don't understand the examples, that's perfectly okay. But I think it's not my responsibility to tell you in even more exhaustive detail about things in your own country that have been extensively covered everywhere.

I misunderstood, I apologise

Respectfully, you are wrong. Nothing I've said is untrue.

I gave you examples, where you reciprocated with a personal attack. This is one of the ways in which US internal politics has become infantile and tedious. I would appreciate it if you left it there.

There has never been a US president that had anything close to ethical behaviour (to wit: the ones that existed after drone strikes became a thing all signed off on drone strikes. Those hit a lot of innocent people. The US has never stopped having slavery. I could go on). It is really the height of fanciful thinking to believe that the flavour of the month US leader will be any different.

The content produced adhered to the requirements and is amusing. It allowed the creativity of a single person to be applied in a larger way to more things. This is exactly an example of how AI wouldn't enshittify the internet.

Cloudflare is an evil company that at this point exists to a significant degree to hoover data for the US government and shelter sexual predators. Nobody should condone them or by using their technology promote their existence.

It's preferring something that doesn't come from a diseased and unhinged ecosystem that not only involves a consistent tragedy of the commons, but also has tooling that is quite honestly just horrific.

Is it dehumanising to give a dog a name that a person could have?

I've heard variations on this argument for the past two decades, and it's amusing every time.

Managers make most of those decisions and they have no idea what is achievable, reasonable or even particularly likely.

You don't know where it will go, just as people didn't know the development of LLMs at all would happen. There are no real oracles to this level of detail (more vaguely in broad lines and over decades some Sci-Fi authors do a reasonable job, and they get a lot wrong).

There have been a lot of people making these sorts of claims for years, and they nearly never end up accurately predicting what will actually happen. That's what makes observing what happens exciting.

I actually know what I'm talking about. You're free to disagree and "just ask questions", but I don't want to engage with tedium.

It is not true, source: I work for an institution that would be impacted by such a ruling. There are requirements for sovereignty, but as usual people play fast and loose with the concept. Governments are not more competent than anyone else.

I'm going to be transparent, when I read your post I assumed it was a dismissal that's a bit too shallow. Having read the article and taken the test, both sound uncomfortably like the writer has some sort of disordered thinking (e.g. has been really hitting the amphetamines). It's a little unhinged.

But as with all personality tests, it's fun to take. As with all such tests, the things they say are general enough that they apply to most people relatively well. It's like reading a horoscope - meant to entertain. The meaning ascribed to it in the article this post references is not something I could find.

Given that they found it in the soil, I would say there is water in the ground.

It's escalated humanity's incapability to look toward the future or do long-term planning in any reliable kind of way very problematic. It's also made the tendency for humans to go to war significantly more problematic for everyone that isn't already a murdering loon.

While there's plenty of positive effects of the march of technological progress, let's not pretend it's done us an unequivocally good turn. The state of the environment is enough to explain that.

No. This is not a good rationalisation, and you should not normalise it by using it. You're participating in the erosion of your own rights. Why would you do this?

Literally zero of the hundreds of devs I know that do software development on windows have make installed. Why would they? It's not usual in the space at all, that's msbuild

LaTeX is a nightmare to use, so you shouldn't inflict it on people. While I've used it and there's a lot to like, there's very little there that you'd want or need to make a resume. And without those things (most notably good formula support), it just doesn't add enough to justify the pain of having it in your life.

I believe I experimented with this 6 years or so ago, then I found out other people did it way better than me. If you're talking about passive radar, it's really old. I don't know. Decades.

I think most people are a little bit tired of hearing that things that are manifestly possible, are instead impossible. If we'd take the time to recognise that the truth is somewhere in the middle (lots of tasks can be done, lots of them cannot), the conversation could at the very least be interesting.

As it stands every publication on this subject is filled with a lot of people that feel they need a polarised stance or they'll immediately be shot: Either they say LLMs are fundamentally broken and can't do shit (this is ridiculous) or they say that LLMs are self-aware and we should give them every single task ever (also ridiculous). It is really tedious to read the same dumb shit every single time.

This technology is incredibly old, and definitely has already been abused. This just puts it into your hands. There's no sense complaining - anyone motivated or evil enough was already in possession of this.

A small db user costs almost nothing to the host. It'd be like a shared webhost, except there's none of the overhead of running the programming language (e.g. php). That is by far the most expensive part of the machine. Offering this for around that price is a proposition that will have significant RoI in terms of hardware used.

Amazon has always been chock-full of ghostwritten amazon turked books, which were hot garbage easily on the level of chatgpt 3.5. The advent of AI won't change the cesspit of useless despair, because it's already so full you can't wade through all of it. Having more shit in a pit full of shit doesn't make it more shitty, especially if you had to wade through it to find a single pebble.
