> Training a large language model and privacy law as it's written today cannot coexist If they aren't compatible, then the conclusion is abundantly obvious; the LLM has to go, not privacy. Small and questionable economic utilit

Considering how much of modern software is written in JavaScript and python, I have a hard time seeing how lisp overhead would pose much of a problem. Erlang is good enough for telecom equipment for 30 years ago, so that also gives us a dat

One AI workflow I rather like seems to have largely vanished from many modern tools. Use a very dumb simple model with syntax knowledge to autocomplete. It fills out what I'm about to type, and takes local variables and pass them to fu

If web-pages don't contain the answer, the AI likely won't either. But the AI will confidently tell me "the answer" anyway. I've had atrocious issues with wrong or straight up invented information that I must search

Computers beat us in maths decades ago, yet LLMs are not able to beat a calculator half of the time. The maths benchmarks that companies so proudly show off are still the realm of a traditional symbolic solvers. You claiming much success in

I wouldn't underestimate Eclipse user statistics. That may sound insane in 2025, but I've seen a lot of heavily customized eclipse editors still kicking around for vendor specific systems, setting aside that Java is still a pretty

If we cannot tax the money before it accumulates too high, there is little hope getting it afterwards. But taxing it too early penalise entrepreneurship. Tax large properties and excessive luxury seems like one of the few methods could work

Sweden cut the wealth tax, and got a very high startup to capital ratio; but a rapidly rising wealth gap as a consequence. That wealth came from the local economy so it's reasonable to think it should return. But in practice there does

I think stores will adjust their prices pretty quick if they cannot even aquire pennies to give as change. So no law should be needed. you may need to stipulate a grace period during which stores are still obligated to take pennies, to slow

you can make a signed readonly linux installation, and restrict your games to it. this would be like "support steamos but not linux". Or deliver the game as a container format, like snap or appimage to bypass most of the system. O

They're very valuable data, and it's convenient to log in to see a previous chat. If you have ever played with the api, its clear as day that the protocol itself is stateless.

This is a issue of critical mass. With the continued growth of steamos, steamdeck, and linux as a game platform, eventually it will pull over support.

Really? How large is your project? There is a very clear point in codebase size where LLMs tend to falter without very clear written down overview descriptions of the system structure. I have a hard time seeing that this system would be imm

This is a nice idea in theory. But you need excellent docs in the firstplace for it to work. And if a human spent painstaking effort writing excellent docs, the least bit of respect i can give them is read it.

Neither copilot nor flow can natively handle audio to my understanding, so there is already a transcription model converting it to text that then GPT tries to summarise. It could be they simply use a mediocre transcription model. Wispr is a
