people call buying a house to live in an investment but that's because they don't know the technical term is a "hedge" so you know: most localities do treat the house you live in very differently from a tax perspective t

psychopathy and sociopathy are the same pathology.. they cannot have different occurrence rates. You have obviously no idea what you're talking about. I didn't read the rest of your comment (because why would I?)

By Karpathy's definition it still isn't possible. But I've definitely been hearing about AI generated code being just as good as my code since 2022. Don't gaslight us about timelines. The boosters have been telling us am

No, they're more likely to predict the correct next token the closer the code is to identical to the training set, so if you're doing something generic short names will get the right predictions and if you're doing something

It is nice to use LLMs to generate ffmpeg commands, because those can be pretty tricky, but really, you wouldn't have just used the man page before? That explains a lot about Django that the author is allergic to man pages lol

I agree, to the point where I think this site should outright ban pro AI posts that don't show the code. That would END all this spam because they NEVER show the code, and we all know why.

Speaking as someone who usually has newspaper subscriptions: Why do you think those publishers are going to avoid using AI?

Even normal HTTP URLs aren't great. If there was ever a case for content-addressable networks like IPFS it's this. Universities should be able to host this data in a decentralized way.

This still works if X11 is installed on the remote. I have a remote that runs Wayland locally, and I run Wayland in the client machine as well, but I have X11 installed on the remote and X11 forwarding still works, it just opens the remote

My understanding is that every other form of energy production has similar or worse concerns, including renewables due to the materials used to build and operate and decommission solar panels and windmills. The argument you're making a

In my experience, having used several paid weather APIs for hobby crap, the NWS ones are generally the worst in every way. They're slower, harder to query, the documentation is worse, and they have less data available because the other

this is just ridiculous. you can get up to speed with SOTA tooling in a few hours. A system prompt is just a prompt that runs every time. Tool calls are just patterns that are fine tuned into place so that we can parse specific types of LLM
