LLMs lack real-life experience in the same way that humans lack real-quark experience. Does only direct sensory input count, or does experience mediated through tools count? How much do you or I really know about the Oort Cloud?

What is truth, but defined by our sensory input? LLMs care about truth insofar as truth exists in their sensory input. They also can be massaged for financial incentives when controlled by private corporations, which can result in prioritiz

Can you prove those aren't true?

> you asked a question into a black box, received a symbolic-seeming response, evaluated its truth post hoc, and interpreted its relevance So any and all human communication is divination in your book? I think your point is pretty silly.

There isn't anything objectively wrong with those. You can still derive a functioning society from selfish principles. I don't want to live in a society where I can just get murdered, so I am fine with outlawing murder. This is

Nix has been around since 2003, NixOS just takes that to its logical conclusion. cloud-init may have been inspired by it (I don't know), but certainly not the other way around. By snarled mess of state, I don't just mean the way i

Their answer to Nix is snaps, which will never be the right answer to anything. They're stuck in an old mode of thinking and missed the boat. NixOS or something very much like it is the future. I personally won't go back to the sn

What a stupid take. Sorry to be blunt, but you need to be told that, because you should feel bad. There's a reason for the quote "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual i

How can you possibly like someone throwing around literal Nazi salutes? Are you unaware of that?

Genital configurations are a distraction. You can get incomplete/malformed genitals in individuals with disorders of sex development, but that doesn't change their sex. > Trans people are not beating up [cis] women in sports. T

by gaganyaan 2y ago
Sorry, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. Trans women are a subset of men. Taking cross-sex hormones and getting surgery won't actually change your sex. It's the best we can do for now until we figure out how to fix

Trans women are men that suffer from an unfortunate condition. We need to accept this. Trying to gaslight people into denying basic reality created a backlash that was partially responsible for giving us Trump.

That's plainly false. Incarcerated women have already been raped, beaten, and impregnated by men in women's prisons. Men, including transgender women, are bigger and stronger than women and will use that to their advantage.

by gaganyaan 2y ago
Can we first agree that this case is a terrible one, in which a man intentionally identified as a woman in order to get the chance to rape women? There's more cases, but if we can't agree on ground truth in such an obvious case th

A heterosexual transgender woman intends to deploy those genitals on women. That makes it a problem for uninvolved women that shouldn't have to worry about men in women's spaces. If you want to argue for not segregating prisons by

by gaganyaan 2y ago
That should be fixed, but don't shunt he problem off onto women. Men belong in sex-appropriate prisons.

by gaganyaan 2y ago
Men don't belong in women's prisons. Find a way to keep them safe in the sex-appropriate prisons, but don't make it women's problem. Tremaine Carroll is a good example of why we need to stop coddling people's feelin

What does 14 88 refer to in your username?

by gaganyaan 2y ago
That site is also calling out Musk for being a Nazi-saluting fascist, which is a good thing. It's not anti-Musk to believe what he says about himself. You should re-examine why you feel the need to push your own slant.

"Economics" in the sense of "blathering on about nonsense opinions", yes. "Economics" in the sense of "any sort of understanding of how the world works", not so much. Drain the rot from your brain. Ew

This is braindead capitalist propaganda. Stop filling your head with garbage. At the very least, keep it to yourself so other people don't have to smell it. Gross.
