The key unresolved question is: why do LLMs follow instructions, especially system prompt?

And I don’t see a good answer which is not worrying if not spooky.

AI. We need AI, period.

At least as first line docs.

But what the author describes - fuck no, this is absolute unsustainable madness. Race to the bottom. I’d rather fix plumbing at my own pace.

Managers are needed to sustain the management.

An article complaining about adds serving me add for their own service scrolling a page down.

Are you fucking kidding me

I started my career with turbo pascal, then Delphi… great language, great tooling. Tbh everything since then felt like a huge step back, especially for UI.

We need to pivot math towards intuition and accessibility.

Math has built a gated, inaccessible institution which - by design or not - served as a moat.

I believe math has little to do with mathematical notation - intuition is much more important. One can have intuition but not be able to “read math” - much as many musicians don’t “read music”.

Reading math however does not guarantee ideas or intuition. And those are what math needs.

REST or specifically non-self-documenting rest has always been a bad idea.

SOAP does not need MCP, for example.

Why should i change my outside to accommodate you?

You are forcing a mould on a person whose brain works differently to accommodate the majority.

You have no clue at what costs it comes on the long term (I do, and it’s not pleasant).

I recommend asking decent ai to explain to you the harm of this lone of thought / demand on autistic population

Selective injustice reparations imo cause new injustice.

The mess of distribution of resources in the present is a consequence of thousands of years of injustice and power accumulation.

Ownership of land - which is normalized - is absurd, for starters.

Well how do you detect autism if it’s traits never show?

It’s a bit loke saying fish don’t develop aquism unless they are facing non-acquatic environment. Kinda crude comparison but you get then idea.

Resource competition.

Fighting robot drones for water, agriculture land (solar cells) is plausible

ai would not have incentive to go full terminator. But in a way literal starvation might be worse.

Not onset, that makes no sense.

Environment makes certain traits visible - eg noise and smell sensory issues, even social settings. Put me in a forest and i will be indistinguishable from a neuro-prevalent - no social pressure, no noise, no smells. Actually the neuro-prevalent might be suffering for the lack of those i suppose

I am pretty sure neuro prevalent type is the disruptive one

Async await is a glorious fucking event loop which obscures the primitive, crude simplicity to something unrecognizable which most developers think does something it absolutely doesn't.

it could be sth along the lines of:

on(x=foo()){ //land here when x is computed } catch{ //sth got wrong with foo }

Visual basic was superior to async/await crap. Not even joking.

i know at least one eu country which ruled processing PII this way is not permitted without consent.

bigstrat2003 can’t even figure out basic things. They can’t program well despite putting years of life into that effort. I'm not worried they will suddenly develop intelligence out of nowhere.

See, I, too, can write meaningless prose.

AI expert != Expert on impact of introduction of unprecedented non-biological intelligence in a biological ecosystem.

I think you meant the 2nd and yes, we are all about to get a dose of “expertise” in the field.

“Experts” on _what_ exactly? What fucking field of study makes you an “expert” in a never seen before scenario?

So what? it’s not like they can outcompete AI

People don’t want free speech. They want free speech as long as it’s aligned with their little echo chambers where they feel all safe and fluffy.

Whoever controls violence controls the world, as simple as that.

Gnome was pretty good until they did exactly the same.

Pretty soon there will be no need for recording and editing .

IIRC House MD was one of the first shows to use digital (5D mkII).

Soon there will be AI generated shows. Perhaps entirely personalized.

Youtube, generate me a TNG episode.

My intuition is you were among the crowd who cried “their company their rules” when same companies were taking down covid posts.

Open source let Redhat get away with basically close sourcing RHEL.

Big mistake.

this is silly.

first: "Trump alleges 'stunning' Chinese election interference, deep state coverup" FALSE

is of course incorrect, because Trump did in fact say that. So that statement is correct.

“China interfered with elections” is a different statement. Yes, it matters.

And your assessment follows simply from whom you chose to believe. There is no objective truth here, there are just two statements, one short by POTUS, one long, but without more substance, from NIC, which is not a bias free body.

Choose whom you believe and “truth” follows.

Useless.

The reason is more than apparent.

So long freedom, it’s been nice living in STASI free society for a while. Too bad power attracts the people who will make sure they keep it in their hands.

Well, the amendment is definitely ambiguous hence all these discussions. And everyone interprets it to their liking.

Do I think the government needs internal counterforce? Absolutely and there are plenty of countries today to see why.

Do I think it’s great that every nutjob has a gun? Well no, I don’t.

I am not saying that the amendment is great, but I don’t believe the absolute right to bear arms was intended. That said, it could very well be that the authors did not see it coming that _anyone_ could have a gun, because that was most probably not the case back then. And perhaps here today’s liberal thinking hits the historic context.

Last but not least, one interpretation of “regulated” is this. I am not saying it is what was intended, but lots of people argue that:

"Well-regulated in the 18th century tended to be something like well-organized, well-armed, well-disciplined," says Rakove. "It didn't mean 'regulation' in the sense that we use it now, in that it's not about the regulatory state. There's been nuance there. It means the militia was in an effective shape to fight."

Also, the absolute right is the _precursor_ anyway, it is given such that militia can be formed, and the way the militia is organized is not a condition to the right. But admittedly, it is not clear to contemporary reader what they meant.

No it’s not.

The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, _because_ a well regulated Militia is necessary to the security of a free State.

A single man is no threat to the state, so your example is wrong.

A militia could be.

To be able to form militia to resist the government, individuals have absolute right to be armed.

The mechanics is really pretty simple.

And yes, I believe that extends to all arms, as is written, otherwise the intent - to be able to form militia which can overpower the government - can not be fulfilled.

That is the constitution.

I am not saying I agree with it, but at the same time, without absolute right to bear arms, the government _will_ demilitarize the people.
