All AI and all humanity hallucinates, and AI that doesn't hallucinate will functionally obsolete human intelligence. Be careful what you wish for, as humans are biologically incapable of not "hallucinating".

Oh, my bad, you actually included all of California in your quote. I corrected it to SF because most people understand that California is absolutely massive. The median household income in California is $80k and of the 40 million in Califor

I used "net average tax rate" from the OECD as an apples to apples comparison. Your reply is "what about the 1%ers who live in two of the most expensive cities in the world? What about THEM?" What about the 99.9% of Amer

The tax man gets his one way or another. Imagine the shock of an American living without sales tax when they go to Germany and everything has a 20% government markup... In Germany, the net average tax rate on a worker is 37.4%, in America i

Algorithms are NOT good at detecting AI, and every attempt so far has been laughably terrible. For example the internet is already filling up with students complaining about teachers failing their school work for false positives on AI text

Is that actually challenging? My MC launcher can pull in 1.7.10, add a mod loader, and load mods into it just fine. Do you mean if you try to run a 1.7.10 mod in a modern MC version? That's not a realistic goal because of dramatic API

For the record, the point of NaNoWriMo is pure word count, and folks consider December to be "National Novel Editing Month" where you refine the word vomit. Obviously this is not the only approach to writing, and some folks are in

I'll be that person. There are no top-tier bluetooth headphones, only mid-tier at best, and they're grossly inferior to wired mid-tier headphones in terms of acoustics. (Which is obvious, when you spend 80% of the budget on proces

Two comments here 1: my understanding is that blind folks DRAMATICALLY prefer JAWS to the built-in OSX tools by an overwhelming margin, something like 9 to 10. That suggests that the OSX tools are extremely inferior if nearly everyone feels

Yes, businesses will return value to shareholders by default. But here's the thing about competition: If there is one monopoly, it can simply return all profit to shareholders and ignore the customer If that is split into 5 businesses,

I'm surprised to hear that "Apple has committed to accessibility in a way that no other company comes close to for decades" because Microsoft has already been doing that for over a decade, and is by far the most used OS for a

I spent about that on a mirrorless and my photos blow smartphones out of the water. It takes 10x longer to setup, take, and post-process and is a hassle for many reasons, but the photo quality is extremely noticeably better.

Great example of the primary difference here. I've said that the photos out of my mirrorless (also Z50, great camera) are true photographs in the sense that they capture light and show it to me. My smartphone however does not create ph

>That's a problem with all LLMs. They will average what they are trained on, without any reflection what is good and what is not. They shouldn't be called intelligent (AI), they're information meatgrinders. This is an issu

Here's my radical take: humans hallucinate as much or more than the top LLMs. Heck, depending on the human, nearly everything they think and say is functionally a hallucination according to the metrics in use here. When it comes to wha

I get where you're coming from, but the idea that we should all rush to giant globo-monopolies to save us from the complexities of small businesses is just wild and disgusting. This is very much the "Microsoft/Apple, save me

The cold hard math that engineers never want to do is the one involving their own salary. On levels.fyi devops is median $150k in the US, and at that price it means they cost the company a lot more including benefits, taxes, etc. If a &quot

I mean, just add "...except it's profitable" to the end of all of your simple-ideas and you'll probably end up in the same place they did. There's not a lot of profit in simple ideas executed cleanly.

I hate to be that person, but this is the future. Because of climate change, more of our country is barreling towards "uninhabitable". It's not Farmers fault that we released too much CO2 and now wildfires and hurricanes are

There can never be a 100% accurate lie detector, only a 100% "thinks they're telling the truth detector". Ultimately human memory is deeply flawed and we're capable of having entirely false memories and swearing on our l

Okay, so the entire point of the comment is "A current model which does well used to be bad!" With all due respect, is that a valuable thing to say? Isn't it true of them all?

You can say this about every major invention. The loom destroyed jobs! The engine destroyed jobs! So on and so forth. This view is critically flawed in two major ways: 1) AI is not anywhere near being able to replace the majority of what de
