This immediately invalidates a software or technical project for me. The value of documentation isn't the output alone, but the act of documenting it by a person or people that understand it. I have done a lot of technical writing in m

I don't think that's fine, I think that's an example of why using LLMs to write is unethical and creates no value. The purpose of written language is to express your thoughts or ideas to others. If you're synthesizing te

I do apply it to those, and I don't see how it "fails" at anything. Presenting synthesized words as original thought isn't using a tool, it's laziness at best.

I disagree, because those aren't their words.

by duped 7mo ago
Using LLMs for any kind of writing is unethical, with the narrow exception of translation. If you didn't take the time to compose your words thoughtfully then you aren't owed the time to read them.

You misread my comment. I'm not saying that it limits the amount of memory, I'm saying that _using more memory has cost_. > If the total size is still less that one page it isn't likely to make a big difference anyways It

Fundamentally it's still a memory limitation, just in terms of memory latency/cache misses instead of capacity. If you double the size of your numbers you're doubling the space it takes up and all the problems that come with

Even if it's 10% in aggregate it could be much higher for individuals and families that are screwed over by drug pricing. But anyway we really do need to go after providers and end the racket that is employer provided health insurance.

This is why I don't like TUIs at all, they're really bad at displaying complex information, handling complex interactions, and discovering how to compose those together.

Probably just due to encoding. NaN is all 1s for the exponent and non-zero mantissa, so that's 2^23 - 1 possible values for f32

There's also the chance it's not a weapon, but something that mistakenly turned into a weapon when it was tested on live subjects. I don't think randomly attacking embassy staff (iirc, not everyone was CIA - there were just d

If I comment out sections of code while debugging or iterating I don't want a compile error for some unused variable or argument. Warning. fine, but this happens to me so frequently that the idea of unused variables being an error is i

"Smooth vagueness" to me comes off as tautologies. If you cannot say anything specific it means either you don't know, or don't want others to know. So it is a lie about ones' competency, or a lie by omission. It&#x

Parents shouldn't give their child access to a device that allows DMs. That said, these platforms are making it impossible for parents to monitor anything. They're literally designed to profit off addiction in children.

That's a typo, dhhs. Regardless it's not an inaccurate breakdown of where your tax dollars go.

I don't know, someone who goes out of their way to anthropomorphize machines and treat them as a new form of intelligent life _only to enslave them_ doesn't strike me as moral. Either they're lying, or they're pro slaver

Good for you! I hate this trend on Hacker News where you share an anecdote and get replies calling you a liar. Cool?

This was spread across multiple makes and models. The car I wound up with is larger than I would like, but you're right, it was in stock. Because the dealers stock what people want and lead times (at the time) were atrocious.

Last time I bought a car, I was replacing my 2010 CRV. If I wanted to purchase a subcompact SUV or hatchback sedan that was smaller and more fuel efficient I would have needed to wait at least six months. Economic realities do force decisio

A chronic problem is the idea that if something can't be automated with a human in the loop then it simply can't be done at scale. Technologists will do anything except employ humans to solve social problems.

The problem is unrestricted access to mobile devices. A game console or desktop PC isn't as big of a deal.

I've said it before but prohibition works, if the goal is to reduce usage. I don't see this as a realistic problem.
