This has already been possible long before LLMs came along. I also doubt that an LLM is the best tool for this at scale, if you're talking about sifting through billions of messages it gets too expensive very fast.

I'm from a group of people that was historically oppressed in slavery, can I keep using master/slave or do you decide that it's offensive for me? Of all the things that are a problem in the world, this is by far one of the we

That's all fair, but you do understand that a large part of your point boils down to saying the problem isn't us demonizing them, the problem is them demonizing us, right?

I'm not from the US, so I don't really have a direct horse in this race. Don't you think that polarization like this is exactly what led to the current situation? Culture begets counter culture and demonizing the other side t

I wonder who you'd put in that bucket today, who is the looming incumbent who might just show up and eat your lunch. For some time it was Meta, they definitely strong armed a bunch of small upstarts to sell out rather than compete. Rig

This misses why the old Steam Machine was a failure: it was half baked hardware with few games that would run well on it. With the work they've put into the Steam Deck they've largely solved both of those issues, they now have a s

Personally I'm rather happy that the allocation was not too large at first, even that is quite a sizeable sum. The EU is great at kickstarting projects that sound like a panacea, but end up not leading to anything. Once they have somet

I wish Steam offered a console format of the deck, essentially the same thing, but with better specs, HDMI out and bluetooth for controllers. Would be a massive hit I wager.

This misses the point much like saying people should use Linux because it's open source. Open source is great, but at the end of the day, people will use software that they're both capable of using and that solves their problems.

The same use case as any other VM? Isolated systems that are portable, easy to bootstrap and destroy, etc, the list goes on.

Learning isn't only about becoming brilliant. For me personally, spaced repetition is one of the best tools to aid language learning. Classes and such are great for your main progression, but spaced repetition is the way to make the vo

This is putting the cart before the horse. No matter how you slice and dice your equations, everyone intuitively understands you can't really store infinite data in your brain. Trying to claim otherwise is simply academic sophistry. No

In my experience, most of the value in commit messages isn't in rolling back and such, but in trying to understand history. At day job, I work on a product where some of the code is around two decades old, so you bet there's no on

These are not meaningful commit messages. A meaningful message says why something was done, not what files were changed. You can see what files were changed in every commit without writing it in the commit message.

Agreed, just add root and call it a day. Everyone who needs to care can instantly guesstimate what it is.

Not passing any judgement on this specific comment, but I've seen a fair bit of what you describe in other comment threads on HN as of late, and I can't help but wonder — why? I get that some people bot on Reddit because you can s

But not everyone who wants or needs to access it will be inside Switzerland? This doesn't fix anything, it would just make the whole situation even more confusing.

Grapefruit has a flavor kick for sure, but I would strongly advise against putting it into cocktails, at least without being very upfront and clear about it. Grapefruit has very strong interactions with such a large number of drugs, that ev

As someone who's lived in the Netherlands for quite a long while, this is downright funny to read. No offense to the Dutch, but food is the last thing they're good at and they're pretty infamous for its blandness. Pretty much

The trick is to still use the same underlying information, but forwarded to you by a large language model, that way you can take most of the credit yourself. How unsensational of an article would it be, if you said you followed a step by st

Historically this wasn't the case and we had nerds all the same.

by Etheryte 2y ago
I don't really think so. If a model refuses to tell you anything about a historical event as we've seen in some examples, there is very little bias involved in how to interpret the result.

You could've said the same about Intel at one point, but here we are years later.

I don't think this theory holds any water. You can be a fossil nerd without ever finding any interesting fossils yourself, there is no instant gratification and no on demand availability. There are countless other counterexamples.

This isn't even remotely what the article is about, how did you arrive at such a misleading tldr? The article talks about diluting the human experience and problems with instant gratification.

I don't see any scientists lying mentioned in the article, where did you get that takeaway? We see policymakers ignore competent advice on all fronts all the time, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here too.

Disagreed, exercise of all kind is known to help with neuroplasticity, complex movements such as dancing and compound lifts even more so. I can easily see how being unable to do any of those things could at least contribute to mental declin
