Huh, they really do solve that now! Well, I'm not one to back-pedal whenever something unexpected reveals itself, so I guess I have no choice but to declare current generation LLM's to be sentient! That came a lot sooner than I ha

What? They use Easy Anti Cheat, which is one of those nasty kernel level anti cheats. Even ignoring my personal experience with the issue, a kernel level anti cheat built for windows seems quite unlikely to not have any issues whatsoever on

I too recall having issues with the anti-cheat last I tried (years ago at this point). How did those issues get fixed? Did they abandon the anti cheat, or does the anti cheat now work under proton?

>3) LLMs do not have a mechanism for sampling from given probability distributions. E.g. if you ask LLM to sample a random number from 1 to 10, it will likely give you 3 or 7, as those are overrepresented in the training data. I went and

I find it interesting that Norwegian isn't on the list. I have often joked that Norwegian is just a dialect of Swedish, but I never expected to get official validation like this!

They're also effective against incompetent thieves. Anecdotally that's a pretty high percentage of thieves you'll ward off that way.

The counter point to this is the well-meaning idiot who causes destruction by doing things they, quite naively, believe will have positive outcomes. When the outcome predictably is terrible, do we let them off the hook for meaning well?

I profoundly disagree with the dismissive people on this thread in all but a few very extreme edge cases. There are heatpumps rated for down to -30°C. If you live somewhere where it gets colder than that, then yes, you'll need a backup

Hold them accountable for the computers mistakes? The computer is a tool, and if a carpenter makes a mess we're not likely to blame the hammer. This isn't different in any way.

This is such a weird tale to hear. I heat my 2 story 147m2 house in Sweden with a single heat pump and it's downright cosy down to -10C. I have noticed that my office, which is located at the furthest possible place from the heatpump,

I think GP was basically talking about doing it on a doll. As in, a robot in 1-3 years might be able to change diapers with occasional success, but half the tries will result in a dismembered diaper user: we'd use dolls in this scenari

I actually was thinking specifically about the office politics at one of my previous employers when I wrote that comment. Yes it's also applicable to the other kind of politics. The two are entirely too similar imo. All the more reason

Tribeless suits me just fine. The whole reason I avoid politics is because it's not solution oriented. I don't get the feeling people discussing politics are trying to solve any problems, they're just fighting a tribal war, t

There are different settings for interface language and story language. Might it be that your story language is "default" (this appears to mean untranslated) and your interface language is set to English?
