In the ex-USSR internet segment there was a saying on nerd forums - "Don't know matan(1), will convert you to methane". Just saying :) . It's not like billionaire sociopaths had ever any issues with "useless" h

I often wonder myself about this supposedly amazing ability. Like what kind of documents people have which can be summarized in a useful way? A work email? Absolutely out of the question, since LLM can and will miss important parts or conte

DDG is good enough that I've switched many year ago and never went back. Any time I use Google (!g) to repeat query (recently it's maybe a few times per year) it fails to show anything useful too, so I don't see any benefit t

The power imbalance between an individual human and a soulless megacorps, who claim to make us homeless in about 1 to 5 years, is astonishing. Which is why it is fun to at least poke those same megacorps for their hypocrisy. It's a var

That's assuming all existing LLM investments divided by the all existing LLM usage is net valuable as baseline. But if that is not yet like that, then software improvements may or may not bring those investments over the valuable thres

Asking LLM programs to "not do the thing" often results in them tripping and generating output including that "thing", since those are simply the tokens which will enter the input. I always try to rephrase query the way

A very bad idea, leading to the authocracies and despotias like clockwork. A small relief is to see the authors of the initial segregation getting banned too eventually, but it is too late to fix anything. "Tovarisch Stalin, a terrible

Nuclear war is overrated. Too focused to really damage distributed systems, too hard to start, too few working nukes. Many of the old rockets on all sides likely won't even fly correctly. Now drop world shipping via blockades and activ

Famine, the perennial classic. And after famine, the war to clean up the stragglers. Fun :)

Do you tip your local cashier in the groceries store? Do you tip the bus driver who took you to work? Do you tip a bank clerk who processed your application? If no, then this is a living wage. Also not having "tips" prevents freel

Service in restaurants in Europe is way better than in USA. I don't want waiter to ask me anything except taking the order. I don't want to be ushered away as soon as I finished eating. I usually do that anyway, but I want to choo

In my limited text generation experience, LLMs use em-dashes precisely like that, only without spaces on the sides and always in pairs in a single sentence. Here some examples from my Gemini history: "The colors we see—like blue, green

Then they will fall back on the selling their other real competitive products - hardware accelerators, phones and PCs, cloud storage and cloud compute, enterprise software, databases, operating systems, office and media suits... Oh wait...

Google is evil in passive way, like sprawling bureaucracy making you life slowly worse and worse but also doing some stuff to at least some fraction of population. OpenAI and Sam are determined and energetic evil, laser focused on making wh

Depend on the definition of the "product". For example some banal cloud storage in which everyone competes. And it's an "old" product, despite being invisibly improved behind the scenes, just like at any other provi

"Post-money" is the euphemism for the glorious end of capitalism, when we will be paying in corporate scrip, Arasaka-style? :)

Not everyone is rich enough to live in a private house, where one could plug EVs daily.

To expand on this point - individualistic culture doesn't necessarily mean that individual wants to harm others or himself. It's just that's not a highest priority. So yes, in the chaotic driving people manage to not kill eac

Of course, over the past few centuries. Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, Polish-Lithuanian Constitution and many other central documents limiting powers of the highest ruler. As an example more familiar to me - Kievan Rus and its region (modern

Not quite. You are describing "kinds of ethics" after ethics is an already established concept. I.e. actual examples of human ethics. Now the question is who defines ethics as concept in general. Humans can have ethics, but is it

by Yizahi 9mo ago
What ethical constraints? Like "Don't steal"? I suspect 100% of LLM programs would violate that one.

So you are saying that world borders should be redrawn according to a state some few hundred years ago? Please tell be, which exact year do you think we should use for that?

I'm not sure what do you mean by liberalism or electoralism or even a will of a people. Especially in this context. Democracy is a power of citizens to decide on the governing of a country they live in. This doesn't happen anywher

That's true. But the point still stands. People are outraged even for a small number of cartel criminals shot. Imagine what would happen if someone would try to liberate oppressed people in China. The count would be in millions.

Who "they"? If you want to say that this operation was completely botched and there was no quality improvement for the regular Venezuela citizens, then yes, i would agree completely. and international law also suffered as a result
