Well I tested the first prompt on ChatGPT and Llama and Claude and not one of them suggested Lyme disease. Goes to show how much these piece of shit clankers are good for. Llama said "syphilis" with 100% confidence, ChatGPT sugg

I swear on all that is holy, I cannot tell if this is sophisticated satire or you are actually for real. 100% not being facetious.

It's not even halfway up the list of inane things of the AI hype cycle.

Yes, and "buying subversive literature" is a crime too. That was the original point.

The Parliament can approve the Comissioners that are put before it, not elect them. And you're correct about the council, except the President is also not elected. Things are not black and white and "democracy" is not a bin

And there's nothing you can do about it. The EU is not a democratic institution, I hope you're comfortable with an executive led by people who have not seen a single election in their lives.

Unfortunatwly "keeping kids and teenagers off of algorithmic social media" is one of the most worthy goals one can pursue right now; so is keeping them off infinite porn. But this is not the way to go about it.

Your mention of "social conditioning" a propos of nothing gives you away like the "three fingers" in Inglorious Basterds. I would highly suggest not basing your entire personality and opinions on a slack-jawed streamer&#

But to be honest, isn't this also true of the basic Hollywood or Netflix fare?. I've been watching season 5 of Stranger Things. It has a budget of approximately 1 gazillion dollars. The writing is utterly basic predictable, boring

Well I have benchmarks where my hand-written asm (on a fundamental inner function) beat the compiler-generated code by 3× :) Without SIMD (not applicable to what I was trying to solve). And that was already after copious `assert_unchecked`s

Well in my case I had to file an issue with the compiler (llvm) to fix the bad codegen. Credit to them, it was lightning fast and they merged a fix within days. gcc optimised it correctly though.

https://github.com/andrepd/posit-rust LLVM codegen has been almost always sufficient, but for a routine that essentially amounts to adding two fixed-size bigints (e.g. 1024-bit ints represented as `[u64; 16]`), codegen

Yes, I too have dabbled in that strongest of drugs called hopium.

Would this matter for performance? You already have so many execution units that are actually difficult to keep fully fed even when decoding instructions and data at the speed of cache.

Funny to see a comment on HN raising this exact point, when just ~2 hours ago I was writing inline asm that used `lea` precisely to preserve the carry flag before a jump table! :)

Yeah, so the shareholder-value-maximisers will bury the studies that link smoking to cancer for decades, using whatever dirty tactics they can. What a way to look at the world...

If OpenAI saw an imminent path to AGI in 6 months (or in 5 years for that matter) they would not be pivoting to become a banal big tech ad company. Short AI and tech, and just hope you get the timing right.

That is an extremely shallow phrase, usually quoted by people who have nothing to add except an appeal to "the good old times" when "men were men". So is the idea that "history is cyclical". It's literally

> Because it doesn't, people are just embarrassingly ignorant of how the EU legislative process works Hmm, now whose fault is it that the EU institutions are so complicated and opaque? The citizens? The journalists? Or maybe...?

More lazy analogies... Yes a hammer is a tool, so is a machine gun, a nuke, or the guy with his killdozer. So what are you gonna do? Nothing to see here, discussion closed. This is not an interesting conversation.

Ineffective at what? Writing good code, or producing any sort of valuable insight? Yes, it's ineffective. Writing unmaintainable slop at line rate? Or writing internet-filling spam, or propagating their owners' points of view? Ver
