I think I made all of that pretty clear in my comment. I was just explaining the “bad drummer” meme.

Probably because he doesn’t dedicate himself to the craft. Musicians tend to get better with age, not worse.

It’s just that he’s technically not good, that’s all. Like he drifts with time and isn’t very precise. I think the band would sound better if he were more competent. The same could be said of Kirk’s solos; even though he’s performed some cl

What would it mean to “normalise” forking? The costs of maintaining a fork are significant, and if one group of programmers are being funded to work on the project then it can be very difficult to fork a project in any meaningful way withou

RIP Bram. I enjoyed meeting him in Zurich one time. He was good company. A really humble, sweet guy.

I think it’s more that the studios used to all be small, and the foundational games of the previous generations were made by newly-formed companies comprised of mostly young people. Today we have established AAA studios with huge bankroll t

It has happened before. But it doesn’t really matter whether that’s what’s happening here, as it doesn’t affect how you need to deal with it.

You should be more reluctant to label someone as “not trustworthy”! FWIW today is the first I’ve heard of Leah and I spent some time reading their website (vimuser.org) and they seem to be quite conscientious and thorough in explaining thei

They actually did a port of SMB3 and presented that to Nintendo. When Nintendo didn’t bite, they made new assets to make what became Keen. Here’s a video of the port: https://youtu.be/1YWD6Y9FUuw

The implementation of Pull may be a bit mysterious to the casual reader, but its usage seems clear enough to me from the function signature. Even without reading the docs I think it’s easy to guess what yield, pull, and stop should do (and

What language change are you talking about? This is just a proposed construct to regularise and make efficient something people already do (as you says with “state”). I’ve used iterators similar to what’s described in this article to avoid

Your comment doesn’t seem to relate to what I’m saying. I don’t make a value judgment about lying. I’m just saying lying implies deceit. In your hypothetical scenario there is deceit, so there is the lie. I don’t think most actors or magici

Now you’re just being condescending. I did read your comments and I know what an analogy is. Consider that there is a different perspective to yours that can validly view your analogy as absurd. Yes I have studied neural nets and have a goo

“They” in this case includes Damon himself. It’s not some separate group of people protecting the audience from Damon’s deceit. If I say to you “I am acting as a character” and then proceed to do so, where is the lie? Similarly, if I say to

I think you’re kinda robbing the word “lie” of some of its subtlety. It implies disingenuousness. But the actor or magician doesn’t want nor need you to believe they are actually the character, or that they are actually performing magic. Th

This is an interesting tangent. I agree that advertisers lie, and that some actors that appear in advertisements speak lies. But I don’t think Matt Damon was lying when he portrayed Jason Bourne; nobody was under the impression that Bourne

The differences between a a human being and a computer are too numerous to list. I don’t even know why you need to ask the question. Let me ask another question to point out the absurdity of yours: Human beings have more in common with a ba

Because LLMs are not people. They are nothing like people; not in construction nor behaviour.

Is that so? Most magicians do not pretend their illusions are actual magic. How do other performers lie? Do you think an actor is lying while they act?

Computers aren’t people.

Making an analogy where you substitute a human being for the LLM is disingenuous to the extreme.

I use ZFS on Debian for my home file server. The setup is just a tiny NUC with a couple of large USB hard drives, mirrored with ZFS. I’ve had drives fail and painlessly replaced and resilvered them. This is easily the most hassle free file

My original point was that the warning from the experts sounds pretty hollow and pointless. I don’t know why they even bothered to print such an empty statement.

> Experts say there is still the risk of a "bad trip", which is when the user has an unpleasant experience while under the influence of drugs. All psychiatric treatments have a risk of a bad experience, including talk therapy.

If you found this interesting then check out Davis’ autobiography. It is absolutely fascinating and with a music streaming service you can listen to all the music he talks about as you read. One of my favourite books.

It’s not so bad for most people but if you’re one of the unfortunate few who suffer chronic symptoms it can be truly awful. Not worth playing that lottery if you can avoid it.
