I genuinely don’t know the answer but I can see it being more complicated than “OpenAI purposefully acquired and trained on NYT articles”. If Stack Overflow collects a bunch of questions and comments and expose them as a big dataset license

Same for Kia and Hyundai being able to sell cars with compromised security. Something other countries regulate.

RAG and large context sizes mitigate this well enough for me. Ingest the library's docs (and maybe a sizable chunk of your codebase) and use that to get better LLM output that isn't out of date or hallucinated.

I think it's still a large degree of fashion. In 2024 we spot the lone ornamented streetlamp that survived and think it looks nice or appreciate that its still standing, or walk past the an old decorated building that was maintained al

Ruby was released in 1995 and didn't really have its heyday of developer hype until Rails came along a decade later. Python didn't start gaining serious traction for about a decade after its 0.9.0 release either. Go's immedia

A track record of completely avoidable near misses should still be penalized I think. Reckless wreckless driving is still a crime, even if it's hard or rare to have enforcement. I'm not a fan of the surveillance without consent, b

True, all are existing risks with some known likelihood factor. But the coffepocolypse argument and the article's contents aren't discussing the current breeds of AI, they're hypothesizing about a future super intelligent sen

Societal disruption. Shutting down transportation, power grids, fucking with the financial systems, backflowing sewage into clean water distribution, etc. Basically anything we could previously envision a state-actor doing with a Stuxnet-li

Running your larger-than-your-GPU-VRAM LLM model on regular DDR ram will completely slaughter your token/s speed to the point that the Mac comes out ahead again.

That completely depends on your expectations and uses. I have a gaming rig with a 4080 with 16GB of RAM and it can't even run Mixtral (kind of the minimum bar of a useful generic LLM in my opinion) without being heavily quantized. Yeah

I think it's fairly common. I was reviewing an implementation of a phone number input component last month. It looked great, changing the country code automatically showed the correct country's flag or vice versa select your flag

It's also because the big reputable third party CDNs are more reliable hosts with better uptime and SLAs than many of the sites that use them.

Brandolini's Law also comes to mind. Countering bullshit takes more effort than creating it. It's an understandable self-defense mechanism for an individual or even a community to just isolate and quarantine the source of a proble

Another cynical take would be that SawStop has secretly invested heavily in a saw blade manufacturers to profit from more blades being destroyed when the stop event occurs.

Continue.dev allows for this. You can even mix hosted Chat options like GPT-4 (via API) with local completion. I typically use a smaller model for faster text completion and a larger model (with a bigger context) for chat. https:/&#x2

"At my job" is annoying and awkward too if you're not going to specify where when making grand claims. It's not quite as annoying as "In my country we..." without specifying where, but it's close.

Yes, those are incredibly trivial. Front end development jobs do those tasks every day non-stop, and I'd confidently hand any of those to a junior developer to accomplish in pretty much any front end framework/library/toolset

Instead you write hyperscript to accomplish anything nontrivial. Potato, potato.

In the US attending your graduation ceremony has zero bearing on whether the university recognizes if you achieved a degree or not. Is the UK or Oxford different in this regard? Who cares if someone attended a ceremony. This sounds fraudule

The complaint was that a Spotify subscription is more expensive due to Apple taking a 30% cut. Which they don’t do, because Spotify elected to not use IAP at all. I don’t understand this complaint either, since it’s fictional.

by evilduck 3y ago
So we’re just going to collectively agree to pretend that Spotify is more expensive due to a made up 30% cut they don’t actually pay?

by evilduck 3y ago
Spotify doesn’t even let you buy Premium in the App on iOS anymore, it’s the same price for everyone. So no, it isn’t increasing prices since Spotify isn’t giving a 30% cut to Apple in the first place. As a consumer there’s literally no way
