Hypothesis: LLMs are actually text models. They cannot properly babble with a feel of a language because they don't model that, even less so than a Markov chain. What they do is post structural text analysis and synthesis.

On one hand yes, on the other hand, cut and run is a common startup strategy. Just not in the security space. Unfortunately nobody cares about further Linux security, everyone's idea of it is to throw docker and kubernetes at it.

This is why you can never trust any proprietary tech by a tech giant. It's unfortunately a relatively hard optics thing to make reasonably working projectors into glasses, or the tiny OLED ones.

Inevitabilism is defeated by showing someone we're still not having a moonbase, and we don't have and likely never will have faster than light travel. There are no inevitable things. There are predictable ones at best. It's a

Why bother? Put the charge station in the bus stop instead. They have a longer runtime to charge and the bus does not have to be slow. Potentially easier to maintain too.

Try using AI in a useful manner then, as a voice or shorthand input method.

The problem with this line of thinking is that you can then only really trust your own personal bubble. Or actual trial and error, which is costly. These models get ever better at producing plausible text. Once they permeate the academia co

Did they even attempt to scale it against housing prices?

Nah, just a whole JS framework compiled, a bunch of tracking and instrumentation. On the upside, thing does cache, and LocalCDN handles most of it.

Panopticons are overrated. After a while, people start ignoring them as we see with social media.

This is the case for formal proofs. You can even generate V code from them, much like SEL4 is written.

Yeah, right. Do not confuse accessibility with simplicity. So much accessibility that: You need to use gestures to access critical functions. Half of screen readers cannot be connected to their hardware. You cannot easily get someone to wri

Like what demographics? People who want to take the kernel, fork it and close it? Perople making low quality patch bombs behind closed doors? It already is allowing Rust... As far as the commenter, the GNU bit is still relevant. But you sho

Definitely not, the primer also needs to be somewhat stable. This is one reason that even azides are not used in this capacity anymore, and metallic nitrogen would be orders of magnitude less stable. Not to mention requiring special conditi

I mean... You could use it in space instead of nukes as a propellant. Probably would be safer to make there too. Not useful otherwise yet unless there's some special synthesis requiring it that cannot be done in any other way.

Well this afternoon bit... Advanced BASICs are too big for that, and in less advanced ones you get to POKE the hardware to do certain things. Which means you get to learn a bunch of hardware and machine code. That's not all bad though!

Yeah sure, most users do not sideload. It's mostly used to add extra stores too by power users, especially on Android, rather than loading random apps.

by AstralStorm 1y ago
Agreed. Android already has seriously big whitelisting requirement for installing applications from outside the Google Play store. The correct way to do it would be to whitelist other good stores, and allow developer mode installs with an

Really, we're talking Singapore, which is one of the most restrictive places in the world. Have the EU counterbalance this closing with extra fines for anticompetitive behavior.

Is it forking time? It feels like it's forking time. Seriously, just restrict it to signed applications unless debugging mode is active. With explicit permission from the user.

Also don't let bad be the enemy of good enough, if it brings shareholders?

Except your toy model or toy version of the model will barely work to talk to you, much less write code. I've done this experiment with a much beefier set of GPUs (3080 10 GB + 3060 12 GB) allowing me to run one step up bigger model. I

That's where you find out you need $100k in hardware to do so, and I'm lowballing here. And a person who can put it together, it's not quite a typical ops setup. More if you want to actually train it.

You do not control the tool either. You cannot manually train it for your case. You cannot tell it to not touch particular parts of your project either. It will stomp over all of the code. You cannot even easily detect this tool has been us

Doesn't the consistent versioning approach make for eventual consistency which might never arrive? Suppose you have a node where tombstones never work... The missing part is monitoring error conditions when it times out... Which also s

Incorrect, shipping a fix quickly is relatively irrelevant, being able to roll back a busted change to a working configuration is critical. The exception is security issues. But these usually require actual thinking to be fixed, so no, you&

Oh they're not even close in availability as cars, much harder to operate, much more expensive and tend to fall out of the sky. Thank you for providing an example that directly maps to usefulness of ANN in most research though.
