That would indicate that the original comment failed then, didn't it?

If we're talking about the extremely elderly, it seems better for them to be taking public transport than driving.

The thing with a messaging "hello" is it doesn't provide much of that information. You're only able to evaluate the time commitment and urgency by having the content of the request - a "Hello" ping on instant

Not just losing support, but his poor leadership managed to hand the liberals a majority months after the election.

And the malware won't be subject to the kill switch.

If someone has a fat client powerful enough to do all that, is a kill switch going to work? If we assume there's bad actors using the tech, why wouldn't there be bad actors building it? But if we don't think about any of thi

I'm simply saying if we want to shut LLMs down we can do so without high tech kill switch - just shut down the facilities. But if a private user has an open model that is powerful enough to wreak havoc and run privately, then the whol

This feels like doom hype. These LLMs aren't Ultron, they aren't going to disseminate onto the net and hide in a smart toaster. We know where they are, in the giant facilities that draw more power than a small city and whose wate

Sure. We're all going to die some day, but I'll bet you still look before you cross the street.

I think you're missing my point though - no matter what we're walking towards extinction. You yourself are suggesting we delay matters by fleeing the planet, but it isn't stopping heat death. I'm also aware that one day

Even if we leave the planet we're going to go extinct anyways, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to slow it down.

How long until he names a company "E" just so he can giggle about the name?

> I still learn new stuff, but I’m afraid it won’t have any value in a year or so. This is silly. This would be like arguing that encyclopedias made knowing things pointless. I learn new stuff for me. Professionally, it's importan

Good luck to future models figuring out which weird section of code are bugs and which are features.

Isn't it also not the direct customer purchasing the insurance, but their employer, who also has to pay into the pot and so is incentivized to find cheap options? (I'm not 100% on this - I'm not American.)

> Do you think that there is some health care system in which all requests for care can be approved without limit? I'm not going to wade into the murder tag, but is this the actual incentive? The health care execs don't have e

There's nothing stopping the use of decimal points for Celsius. Though there's also nothing stopping decimal points in Fahrenheit, the rare instance where an imperial sub-unit doesn't make things go fucky.

I understand that entirely. I'm saying that the way that GP is presenting their information it sounds like a "one neat trick", which of course it isn't because nothing ever is, which you and I are in agreement upon.

Wireless would be ideal, assuming there's still some way to connect to my PC.

That would imply that red meat eaters would be less likely to get cancer which doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not saying that zinc isn't a factor, but I think that saying a blanket "Zinc is needed to prevent cancer&qu

Is it hard to get waterpoof, considering that every modern smart phone is both usb-c and waterproof? Important to note that this watch doesn't claim to be waterproof.

I do like the idea of USB-C, the garmin's power plug is nothing but annoying. It's really just a matter of battery life and what sort of software integration it has. Although, it's hard to beat the Garmin ecosystem.

I don't know about Claude, but I know that $20 of Copilot doesn't get you very far these days even when you know enough to tell it what to do.

There should be a sign somewhere: 934 days since people first started threatening that devs would be replaced by AI in 365 days. 0 day(s) since Anthropic posted a developer job posting. Only one of those numbers would need to be dynamic.

by SketchySeaBeast 2mo ago
Let's be honest - they're also still hiring software devs. AI still requires skilled humans in the loop and that's not going away.

Great programmers write code that makes you wonder why everyone doesn't do it like that.

I feel like you keep missing the point and are more interested in gotcha's.
