No. I already said I wasn’t interested in that debate.

It is very amusing to me that the outrage is with the car manufacturer, not the ad economy.

I understand being mad, I also get mad. This is a bit unhinged.

There is value in learning how to launch a model and develop an environment with which to interact with it. This understanding is basically a pillar of a “hacker” ethos. But if you just wanna outsource understanding for 3 bucks in tokens, t

Objectively, the left has this very strong ideology of “education will fix everything, and until then we know what’s best for the masses” This went too far with the whole woke thing, and resulted in 2 non-consecutive terms of trump, handing

Medical care is what you’re talking about. Insurance is just a construct around it.

Super intelligence is reasoning quickly? That’s what we’ve reduced it to? Don’t tell Mozart.

Coin machines are really solid at accepting money. I feel like it’s a solved problem. Edit: I’m dumb, the order of operations is backwards. You’re right, it’ll never be solved.

Upvote to you if you understand the obsolete rationale why it’s 80.

It seems a little bit cherry-picked that you selected an article about people on food stamps and federal aid during a global pandemic, which saw absolutely massive amounts of people lose their jobs. Doesn’t feel objective.

“Threatens earths stability” So do nukes. Or a series of earthquakes. Or a really bad set of solar flares. Or a world war. This just in, death threatens life. The internet sucks.

I am curious if you’ve ever met a judge. Every single one I’ve known was a giant, arrogant, jackass. They aren’t actually (generally) interested in being good at their job, they just like the idea.

You can run a small model on almost any hardware, for free, and just play around. It doesn’t need to be some “frontier” (whatever the hell that means) model by any means. Grab some new tech and slap it on whatever hardware you have laying a

It surprises me that this concept took as long as it did to gain traction in… hacker news. 15 years ago folks here were compiling kernels and gentoo distros. Lately it’s been “you should just pay the man, it’s cheaper than running these thi

The whole mentality of thinking one knows better than another about what they need causes infinitely more problems than it solves.

So "unidiomatic" rust means, 'don't use these parts of the language even though they're first-class citizens?' How odd. Lot of mental gymnastics going on there.

So you agree then. People have been saying from inception that git isn’t intuitive.

Have you never seen a toddler touch a non-touch screen and be like “wtf?” Or watch a child holding mom’s phone swipe away a text message alert? Yes, good software is absolutely intuitive. Git is garbage.

“The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” Sure, be wary of LLMs. It’s the gun control argument all over again, the people driving the models are the perpetrators. An LLM needs to be “stimulated”’ to ope

India and China are the only reasons Russia hasn’t collapsed on itself yet. Much to the detriment of a country that had no interest in being invaded.

No, all 3 points are incorrect. I’m not even pro-LLM and I’ll tell you this. You should do a bit of reading on what a token is. The short answer is that it’s a series of 2-4 bytes of information turned into an integer. Your comparisons are

I am gainfully employed because I’m decent at those 3 things. I’m not sure why you assume I’m not. Fair point though.

Really? How familiar are you with how inodes work on a spinning platter vs an eMMC? Can you speak intelligently about how virtual machines segregate their ram boundaries whilst still maintaining decent performance? What is your familiarity
