I agree for the most part, but I wish to underscore the primary function inherent in each tool. For a LLM, it is to generate plausible language. For a bolt, it is to offer structural integrity. For a car, it is to provide mobility. Should

I've noticed that there's a lot of shallow fulmination on HN recently. People say things like "I call bullshit", or "I don't believe this for a second", or even call others demeaning things. My brother (an

Indeed, I intended to imply that a model cannot err in the same way a computer cannot. This parallels the concept that any tool is incapable of making mistakes. The notion of a mistake is contingent upon human folly, or more broadly, within

Addressing this question the way it is phrased is quite challenging, primarily because our understanding of phenomena like nightmares or dreams is limited. The only defined understanding we have of these concepts pertains to humans, leaving

This harks back to around 1999 when people would often blame computers for mistakes in their math, documents, reports, sworn filings, and so on. Then, a thousand different permutations of "computers don't make mistakes" or &q

The source might have other incentives. But I agree with the sentiment. I think CO2 offsets could be more effective if done through a fund that funds specific de-carbonisation projects for our industries. For example, they could fund a tran

I think their point was (at least in part) that it matters more on server-side and infrastructure-side than on the user-side. And maybe with poor net infrastructure, the users benefit more than where infrastructure is good. I responded some

I just tested how long it took to get full content draws of YouTube over HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/3 with my wired 1Gbps machine and Chromium-based Edge (with InPrivate and no extensions, obviously). I did three tests a couple of minutes

YouTube, for example. I haven’t done a rigorous test and looked at the timings. But I disabled HTTP/3 in my Safari settings just now and browsed around YouTube in Private mode. Then I did the same with HTTP/3 enabled. It was at le

Yes, I do notice a significant speed up with HTTP/3 compared to 1.1. But I have spent some years of my life playing eSports shooters competitively and I can tell the difference between something happening in 150ms or 250ms and monitors

It would take around £12k a year to offset my carbon footprint in the UK, where it is below average. That's a significant part of my take-home salary. I could spend maybe £1-2k a year, especially given the futility of this (I would be

It's possible they've made some blanket business decision like "we will not support any more third party integration code unless they finance it". It's a somewhat reasonable stance, overall. But some companies use P

I don’t know about the quality of this PR, it looks good at first glance. But sometimes “free” things have significant costs. For example, a project offering a RPi integration will probably have to maintain it and further develop it, or fac

Yes, I mostly look at critical reviews and really pay attention to things mentioned by a few employees in different words. I usually do this while interviewing, so I am only interested in the negative takes as the company will readily tell

My experience is completely different. Having worked in companies between 15 and 15k employees, I've never seen anything other than random strings. A while ago I wrote a script that uses GPT to generate some machine names and then chec

So how does Netflix exclusivity work for apps freely distributed on the Play Store? Do you need to log in with a Netflix account and does it need to be always online to check that the account has not expired? Also, has anyone from Netflix s

Everyone here is talking about creative machine naming schemes, but almost every org in the world names machines with random strings, like what Windows OOBE generates by default. Sometimes the names are pre-OOBEd with scripts that generate

Why does an employer need to lend anything to union work or organizing? Work resources are usually only for work, not for any other activity. I'm not implying there's a right or wrong here, just trying to understand the arguments.

Volkswagen have RCD head units that are compatible between VW and Škoda cars. RCD/RNS 210, 300, 310, 320, 330, 360, 510, 560, etc are all interchangeable and some are touchscreen-based, others are button-based. I think they also do the
