The classifier does not seem so big, I wonder if something like it for English could be used in a browser extension to run against every single paragraph being displayed ? If the internet is going to drown in LLM text it would be nice to ha

According to 3 out of 11 tested detectors, the other 8 giving a human rating. The only reasonable conclusion is that those 3 tools are broken, cannot conclude for others. I'll keep trusting Pangram. It's good to have this kind of

Yes, I dislike this kind of take so much. It keeps being repeated as a truthism and a way of putting down people that don't do what the speaker wants. It's fine to disagree, but there's no need to get such a threatening tone.

If people develop long COVID after catching COVID (even before the vaccine existed), but not after taking the vaccine, then the cause is the virus not the vaccine. Those weird comments coming back again and again is just insane. I wonder wh

Oh, it did not feel AI but Pangram does say AI, high confidence. Good catch. (I'd trust an ML algorithm that only has to classify in two boxes, thus easy to evaluate, over my own gut feeling).

As much as I disagree with the general consensus that the article follows of "delegating non-automatable work that requires thinking and understanding to the machine because it is boring, even though the machine is unreliable", ac

Vaccines were very effective against the first variant, and got less effective with later ones. People forget about the timeline. Article mentions the delta variant at which time vaccines were still very effective IIRC. There were some brea

If Chat Control gets through, it means the Parliament approved it, which means the EU people voted for politicians that supported the idea. If the EU got dismantled, the same politicians would be elected (they won once why not twice) and do

Doesn't wine have various rules to remain a white-room implementation? Not sure using LLMs which have possibly been trained on leaked Windows sources would be compatible with that. But that's just speculation, I wonder if LLMs pos

Being sick ~20 days per year was the norm for me before remote work (and using N95 masks after it ended). Some people are lucky, others are not. (well, "luck" actually encompasses many factors such as population density, presence&

I'd be curious to see how much the decision to not recommend it in older people is "cost / benefit" ratio (the vaccine is expensive and if you say it may be slightly useful you might be putting pressure on yourself (as a

The alternative before is that you knew where you were reading the information from. So you knew what level of trust to give each information. AI summaries removes that ability from you, and even when it gives the source it may paraphrase i

There's much more air outside than inside, so 15C colder inside does not mean that the entire city gets 15C hotter outside. And in a heat event, most people are inside, not outside. 1C hotter outside to make it livable for 99% of human

The cursor animation is actually a great one because it does not add any latency. By comparison, when animations are not disabled on my Pixel 6 it takes almost one second to switch application instead of maybe 100ms (double tapping the app

Games are for fun. Wasting time in a game is fine, that's what it is for. (edit: not saying that pejoratively) Other applications are to do things. They should do the thing and get out of the way as fast as possible. Animation-induced

More than non deterministic : LLMs don't have a specification to obey to in the first place, while compilers (rather, programming languages) do.

Fully agree with the article (as my comment history would attest). I wonder why people worry so much more about "determinism" over conformance to a spec. (a compiler can be nondeterministic and correct which is not particularly go

There will still be jobs. Manual jobs, the kind that break our backs and have us breath various stuff we shouldn't (dust, fumes). Robots are difficult and maybe not so economically viable when everyone is desperate for any job at any c

You don't choose to use Windows. You have to. Because it's the only OS that supports whatever tool you need for your work. Windows is mandatory in many situations, which is why it can afford being obnoxious.

This was probably a joke about a lot of developers delegating coding to LLMs which are usually non-deterministic (which I personally think is less of an issue than LLMs not having specified behavior like programming languages do).
58.
by Krssst 5mo ago
Non-determinism is not as much of a problem as the lack of spec. C++ has the C++ norm, Python has its manual. One can refer to it to predict reliably how the program will behave without thinking of the generated assembly. LLMs have no spec.

by Krssst 6mo ago
Determinism is a smaller point than existence of a spec IMHO. A library has a specification one can rely on to understand what it does and how it will behave. An LLM does not.

Robots require material resources and are quite difficult to produce. I wouldn't be surprised if we go through a period of time were intellectual work is outdated and most people are back to exhausting manual work. Basically, no middle
