Similarly, a lot of people believe in what we could call "ghosts" based on firsthand experience, yet the expert consensus is that there is no such thing.

I remember working on a Jasper report once where I had a bunch of column subtotals and a total of all of them. Total, total, total total... Suddenly I locked up and was like "WTF is a total? " The word still sounds strange to me

Not the prior commentator, but personally it distanced me somewhat from the bullshit of the rat race. For better or worse, I'm less of likely to chase targets that don't matter or that I don't actually give a shit about. A ca

It definitely helped me fix my road rage. E.g. getting cut off in traffic would usually cause me to inhale and brace my core, it's not hard to get angry from there, but by recognizing it as primarily a physical reaction, I was able to

This is how it'll get us all. You'll decide to double-check with other sources to see if the advice from the LLM is actually safe, only to find all those sources will be written by LLMs too.

It's the same all over. Never speak up. Especially not internally. If you have to, find a regulatory agency that has the legal clout to protect you from retaliation, or go to the press anonymously. Know the names of the people who reta

What I've heard is: If you're running from a bear, you only have to be faster than the other guy.

Well yeah. Left to their own devices, people want to build good stuff. It's when some dumb turd with his metrics and clueless plan shows up that things get screwy.

You must be replying in the wrong place. I didn't say anything about buying mufflers or flowers, or "all the weird -isms of each individual proprietor". I'm not talking about broad principles and generalities here. The c

You must be replying in the wrong place. I didn't say it was okay. I said knowingly forcing someone to do this is a good way to get a shitty cake.

Rouge in a library is a bad idea anyway. It could stain the books.

Not necessarily so when you're trying to sell stuff...

I still think the cake thing was weird. I mean, why would you want someone who doesn't like you or hates your lifestyle to make you a cake? You really think they're going to do their best work? Hey, Person-Who-Doesn't-Like-Me

It's supposed to be a mess. We have very little job security anymore.

Love the side and base art. It's got such a cabaret vibe. Like the ghosts were supposed to be carrying her but at the last minute they decided to switch the arms to be neutral.

Ha! Is that on his wiki entry? So much for neutrality!

This is an effect you see on Reddit a lot. The fitness sub used to have some pretty knowledgeable people in it, but over time it got clogged up with imitators who would just parrot answers from more credible accounts. It's one of the w

I'd still rather not introduce non-determinism into the mix. A toaster should be consistent in executing its expected function[1] and also not prone to hallucinations. 1: even if this means the operator needs experience and expertise f

Both those things are stupid. Or scary. Whichever you prefer. This isn't dev. This isn't hacking in the classic sense of the word. This is asking a genie to do it, trusting he's not malign or incompetent, and then saying &quo

I'm generally curious about what these ancient megafauna tasted like. Especially this one now, seeing as humans apparently ate them to extinction. Someone start cloning monster geese!

Yeah, let's hear about a mother of four that this happened to, not the jet-setting single defense contractor.

> Have you heard of the most expensive toaster? It’s a Mitsubishi toaster that can cook your toast just right. That's my point. It does that without a language model . Not only is perfect toast a solved problem, but slathering on a

LLMs aren't in the direction of AGI. Are you talking about some other branch of AI?

Why the hell does a toaster need a language model to do that?

We had a remote workshop with GitHub for Copilot. The example was to have it create various functions for a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. The extra exercise for afterward was to have it add the "Lizard and Spock" options. When I
