That's completely orthogonal to the choice of license, but rather to the architecture of both projects.

Well yeah it's the exact same thing except... given to people when they're 67, i.e. after a lifetime of working and about 10 years from the mean age of death. Gee why would they stop working, you think? > And if people don&#x27

It's gonna deny your mortgage in 5 years and sentence you to jail in 10, if these techbros get their way. So I'd start learning about it asap

It's really not even remotely the same. C++ has literally >50 pages of specification on the topic of initialising values . All of these are inconsistent, not subject to any overarching or unifying rule, and you have to keep it al

Lmao, this is the "swimming through molasses"? We're done for. I know it's a cliche but algorithmic social media has destroyed our attention spans and our ability to think; LLMs are on their way to destroy what's le

It's really simple x) either the "observation" is just vibes, and then it's fundamentally the same as when Gran's knees get better after she asks Saint Euphemia, or it's actually a scientific observation, in wh

My grandma also uses saints for actual tasks (e.g. St Anthony for finding lost items), and they exibith those properties in observable ways (e.g. he found her sewing needles just last month). Perhaps the comparison is more appropriate than

I've heard my grandma talk about Catholic saints and their powers with a not dissimilar kind of discourse.

>current capabilities The capabilities of LLMs have been qualitatively the same since the first ChatGPT. This is _precisely_ a hype post claiming that a future where LLMs have superhuman capabilities is inevitable.

Okay. And the fact that LLMs routinely make up crap that doesn't exist but sounds plausible, and the fact that this appears to be a fundamental problem with LLMs, this doesn't give you any pause on your hype train? Genuine questio

Literally astrology at this point. We don't understand the black box bs generating machine, but actually if you prod it this and that way according to some vague vibe, then it yields results that even if wrong are enough to fool you. A

Yes! And still, gravity is so weak that that immense amount of energy translates to just a relative contraction of less than 10^-20, or about a hair's width in the distance from the Earth to the Moon.

What has physics ever done for us? Apart from computers, satellites, planes, communications, sensors, and health... What has physics ever done for us ? The roads? Well obviously the roads go without saying!

What do you mean? It's not "out of date", as Kepler's laws or the ideal gas law or whatever is not out of date. It's just incomplete. Also, "modern physics" is a term of art, vs "classical physics&quo

It's not easy when the purchasing power of the working class has been falling steadily for the last 45 years. We have now blown past Gilded Age-levels of economic inequality and there's no signs of stopping.

What's the difference between a state agency issuing a document, and sending that document to 100 random websites. This is your question, correct?

Lmao, if there's anything that powers up the far-right is precisely algorithmic social media, not uncensored old-school message boards.

Eh. So now I'm forced to have all my IDs stored at an advertising behemoth. Not really a great situation either. You're practically forced to have a Google/Apple account and a google/apple smartphone to even exist in tod

As I pointed out in a different comment, the Internet at least was (and is) a promise of many wondrous things: video call your loved ones, talk in message boards, read an encyclopedia, download any book, watch any concert, find any scientif
