It's literally generalized intelligence. Yeah, I had a shitty chessboard back in the 90's that was specifically programmed to play chess. That same board couldn't tell me the best medication to use to treat a certain condit

The fact that they can play chess at all despite having no specific training for it blows my mind, and the fact it doesn’t do the same for many others shows just how far they’ve come and how fast.

I mean, it would probably be better than many tattoo artist’s art. At the very least it’s not a bad way to see how something would look on you before you permanently do it.

I just saw a Twitter thread of someone calling out realtors with absolutely egregious editing examples. Think pools and landscaping being added to backyards, a background being changed to a mountainous region, and furniture being “staged” i

I don't know why people seem to think the US has "no societal safety nets." We have medicaid, unemployment benefits, how expensive our housing is completely depends on location just like other places (rural-ish areas are prob

The vast majority of the homeless you see on the streets in the US are there no because of money trouble, but because of mental health or drug issues (or both). People with money issues can almost always lean on friends or family. It’s the

I think the reason why it shouldn't be claimed as a moral good is pretty obvious - authors deserve to get paid for their work. I certainly can't claim I stand on a bedrock of morality as I've used it from time to time, but e

I’m sorry, but if I’m giving someone who is - at best - an acquaintance of mine $50 a month out of the goodness of my heart and then one day decide to stop, that’s not a broken promise. If that acquaintance got angry at me about stopping I’

In my locale urgent care is only open from like 9am-4pm on weekdays, reduced hours on Saturdays, and closed on Sundays. I could make observations about who tends to be there at either but that might rustle some jimmies.

For those that have never looked it up, the median RN salary in the US is about $100k a year. Germany and the UK are more like $60k. It’s funny, because it’s a career that feels both overpaid and underpaid to me. I went to a college where a

Sure, but shouldn’t the programs to run the LLMs go “the user has this much vram and the model is this size, so I’ll start with sensible defaults based on that”? You could override, obviously.

That’s funny, at least in my neck of the woods a lot of teachers prefer the rural jobs. I’m not sure if the pay increase of moving the city balances out anyways with the increase in housing costs.

There are plenty of places without zoning issues that have that same housing problems. More people. Same amount of land, and features people want to live by - cities (which in the past often meant rivers but always meant jobs)/in my ar

Could it be built using medieval (or earlier) technology? One wouldn’t be worth anything on a battlefield but a few hundred of them would be interesting. I don’t know if steel that a blacksmith makes would be uniform or strong enough for th

I believe there’s a laser surgery to break up the big ones that’s would have far less adverse side effects (though, I suppose maybe the chance of something even worse).

I’m not saying it’s not a factor but we’ve had plenty of food recalls in the past: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/recalls-public-health-...

Not who you responded to but I haven’t really found many games I actually enjoy.

Sure, but I wasn’t talking about car sales. I brought Ford up because of the first mass-affordable car and the production line stuff, not to compare sales measures. Musk doesn’t just have Tesla. SpaceX is probably a bigger deal for humanit

It matches our circadian rhythms better. That leads to absolutely massive better health outcomes, society-wide. People wanting to drive home with a bit of light doesn’t really offset everyone’s sleep getting screwed up, especially those wit

In the northern states, sure. But now you’re expanding it to southern states and places on the edge of the transition zones. Also, 2 hour late starts for cold are a fairly common thing to happen due to cold in northern states. Now you’re t

For night owls and teenagers, who already have a hard time in society, Daylight Saving Time makes things far worse. It’s been tried and failed, already, primarily due to school/kids issues. The sun will rise really, really late in the

I’m not who you replied to but that’s honestly an interesting question. Genghis Khan? Jesus, I suppose? Elon Musk is probably up there, though. You could say people like Henry Ford are on his level, but Elon is certainly more broad in his

To you, that's expanding the scope. To many, many people that's just the way we live, the way our parents lived, etc. We eat food from a restaurant maybe...twice a month? Usually fast food because we're out and about. If y

Well, you also don't have to freeze anything. When you cook almost every meal, you end up using most ingredients before they go bad. The ingredients for a burrito are pretty basic and can be used to make all sorts of things.

> And most of these supplies and prep are going to last what, ~4 days before they spoil? Rice lasts a very long time. Tortillas last a long time in the fridge (you can probably freeze them?). Freeze the meat. Beans last forever. Sour

Right, I suppose I should have mentioned the caveat of desperate men hoping to get a glimpse of attention from a woman.

To me, the level scaling just completely annihilates the game. Why even have a leveling system if practically everything just stays leveled with you?

The rich already pay most of the income tax in our country. We probably have the most progressive tax system in the world.

Voluntary donations are practically impossible. Sure, you get the odd straggler, but it’s so, so rare. I have the most popular NSFW LoRA (actually a LoKR but whatever) for at least one major text to image model on CivitAI. Once it blew up I
