Exactly. People say "we have invented X (the LLMs), now if we just invent Y (reasoning AGI) all of X's problems will be solved". Problem is, there's no indication Y is close or even remotely related to X!

The internet predates the Web; people were playing Muds and chatting on message boards before the first browser was made at CERN.

The internet was at least (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 scientific paper, etc etc; even though it has bee

It does, absolutely everywhere? Down to fully CGI characters like Gollum.

But false is the correct result for those cases. Addition is addition and overflow is undefined (= can assume that doesn't happen), it's not addition modulo 2^n.

Dyson is expensive as fuck, not really a comparison with IKEA which is truly about insane mass market scale and saving costs everywhere you can.

That's not really how it works, the market making firms would essentially have to update their vol curves in response to that signal (BS being essentially just a coordinate change from price to volatility).

Even worse, the slightly rounded rectangle looks much better than the squircle.

by andrepd 1y ago
Came here to comment this. Why the obsession with the ubiquitous universal rounded rectangle? There must be some reason these corporations figured out because they're all doing the same.

Yeah. Not gonna lie it's a bit obscene watching people in this thread revelling that their absurdly highly paid jobs will become even more highly paid, given what's at stake.

It's legitimately insane that perhaps the best MMO, or at least the one which came closer to fulfill the MMO's promise of a shared, persistent, virtual world , was also the first. How come in three decades of technological and cr

Hit the nail on the head (note: you can even look at long-running MMOs like WoW or Runescape and compare how they were played in 2004 and how they are played now, to see this in action). The data-mining and hyperoptimisation and looking eve

Openstreetmaps is notorious for having ultra-granular information, down to flags for whether a post in the street is metal or floppy, retractable or fixed. For bus lanes, I just checked and they're all correctly marked in my city. Seem

Masked agents. You have masked unidentified agents snatching people from the street, some of them targeted specifically for their wrongthink. Note this is even orthogonal to the actual issue of immigration policy.

The point is LLMs are fundamentally unreliable algorithms for generating plausible text, and as such entirely unsuitable for this task. "But the recipe is probably delicious anyway" is beside the point, when it completely corrup

LLMs to generate SEO slop of the most utterly piss-poor quality, then another LLM to lossilly "summarise" it back. Brave new world?

Which it apparently does by completely changing the recipe in random places including ingredients and amounts thereof. It is _indeed_ a very good microcosm of what LLMs are, just not in the way these comments think.

That's an excellent point. I use Android LineageOS with no google apps. The amount of bullshit that I, a literal computer science PhD, have to put up with to somewhat avoid the more pernicious parts of the monopoly, is insane. Crit

Yet people in this very website are 200% hyped about GenAI because it makes it easier to generate slop frontend code or whatever.
