Also if you approach Coinbase/Kraken/$exchange and tell them you have X million to offload, they'll probably let you do it off-market, so no one (except for the ledger, obviously) would really notice.

They're pretty good at translation, to be honest. Transformers was initially invented/discovered in order to build something better for doing translations with Google Translate, so it's hardly a surprise they are pretty good

But you don't buy anything today expecting it to work by itself forever, do you? I don't think others do either, most of us are aware that when we buy something, we buy it as-is right now, and if something in the environment chang

I'm sorry, I'm very lost here, are you responding to the wrong comment or something? Because I don't see how any of that is connected to the conversation from here on up?

Wouldn't it be the same if they use the "Author Services" as with an LLM? Essentially "How do you evaluate something that might go above your head?" remains the same regardless of the tool/service used.

I rather include a WASM Component that uses $library and pass data within the program, than setting up an entire service doing the same thing, but now with web transport complexity.

I don't understand the argument, I haven't said humans act like that, what I said is how you have to treat LLMs if you want to use it for things like that. If you're somehow under the belief that LLMs will (or should) magical

As far as I understood the original meaning, it was about "not being too careful", and err on the side of breaking things, in the name of moving forward faster. It ended up meaning something else, but back then this is how I under

I mean, if you "program" (prompt) them to do those stuff, then yeah, they'll do that. But you have to consider the task just like if you handed it over to a person with absolutely zero previous context, and explain what you n

That seems one-sided. I'm guessing most users bought a product because they found it useful, or at least thought it was useful. Probably the ones who only bought it to support the company could be counted on one hand. So they still g

Some programs only run on Windows, this isn't a new problem. Personally, the only reason I have a Windows installation on my desktop is because Ableton doesn't run (well) via Wine, so not a lot of options really.
