Ah, so that's why all my code has become more concise and efficient and I've learned countless new tricks that I did not know before and probably would have never found without LLM's. Too bad I'm "engaging with them

Obviously feeding more data won't do anything besides increase the knowledge available. Next steps would be in totally different fields, like implementing actual reasoning, global outline planning and the capacity to evolve after train

Strong disagree. I have learned so many new things since I started using LLM's. Some of them I'm actually embarrassed to admit, because I should have known about them a decade ago. If you work in a small company and you are the mo

They probably do not mean people form entire sentences before expressing them, I am not aware of anybody doing that. I assume it refers to people first coming up with a global outline of what they want to say before they start speaking.

I'd still prefer drone pilots for this, so there's a human element as well. But I've been waiting for proper remote control in this space, so we can finally have races where the cars can be smashed to bits by whatever crazy o

Did you consider what will happen once we have this working and we add nitro boost, random wrecking balls, surprise ice segments, collapsable terrain and guns?

Literally all I still (partially) use from the jQuery ecosystem, because none of the competing drag libraries had the exact functionality I needed for a project.

This was a headache I could have done without. Parts of Expo are affected by this as well. ESET was actually the first thing I suspected, but the feature was hidden so far back that I missed it in earlier disable-all tests.

Yep. ANI is what we have now (narrow), AGI is what is next (general, humanlike) and there are theories that when we have that, ASI (super) is just around the corner. At that point we will either blip out of existence or transcend to a highe

Many of the work I do involves things I have done before in some form. But all that knowledge is spread out over multiple languages and libraries and the details are often hazy. LLM's are excellent at stuff that has been done before an

Well, it's a very tentative, but moderately sized step on the loooong ladder towards ASI. The thing is, there is an unknown point on the ladder where the end goal could start taking the steps itself.

By far their most useful and reliable feature is asking them for stuff I already know, but can't be bothered to look up the details for or write out myself. It saves me from dealing with thick layers of SEO crap, cookie banners and man

I tried all I can run on an RTX 3080 Ti, but none got close for the kind of basic tasks I like to outsource to an LLM. Which would you recommend for mostly node/react/python/php work? I do have a 4090 available at work, if th

GPT-3.5 performance for basic programming tasks used to be just fine, but over the past few weeks the output quality has dropped dramatically. All of this tweaking definitely has it's downsides.

ACDsee just kept getting worse until it just became unbearable. I did miss the image sorting abilities until I found PhotoSift.

It's a country where everything is very well organized. There are rules for everything and corruption is low. One of the consequences is that it takes a long time and serious investments to get new construction projects going. Another

Smaller farmers generally work hard for small margins. They are easily mobilized by the big agricultural companies that hide behind them. Whatever measures are taken should, in my opinion at least, focus on the highly automated mass polluti

Anekdotal outlier. In 2022 there were 42,600 registered Tesla owners in the Netherlands. It's a luxury expense, no matter how you turn it. Besides, it was just an illustrative way of saying "plenty of farmers are pretty well off&q

Calling it just "a car" seems disingenuous. My post mentioned a Tesla, which is a luxury expense the average Dutch person is not able to afford. The whole point was to make a clear distinction between the working-class farmer and

by DrSiemer 3y ago
Affected, yes. That's not the same as "no food". Having farmers in the Netherlands is not a binary choice.
143.
by DrSiemer 3y ago
No it does not. You could phase out more than 60% of the Dutch farmers, which would reclaim 40% of the land (from the 66% they currently use), losing less than 1% of the BDP, and the country would STILL have plenty of food.

A uniform color and consistent geometric shape is all that matters. Taste is redundant. Carrots are orange because the Dutch bred them that way.

One of the four forming parties IS the farmers... They keep holding up these signs that say "no farmers no food", while we all know a huge part of it is for export. Practically nobody is against the small farmers, which is the sad
