You may well be right about LLMs but if they can be adapted to match you're expectations about gender says something about how LLM works and not necessarily about how humans work My point is that the two things and not strictly related

Constructs are constructed, in one way or another way and each construct is different from another construct constructed using different ruleset. It doesn't matter if you think that gender is innate, fixed, immutable, strictly binary,

This! One could argue that humans will say "I don't know" when they don't know, but that ultimately depends on training. We currently don't have LLMs trained to answer "I don't know" (I suspect that i

The comparison is not fair though. Modern music notation, despite all its faults, is the Fe facto standard. Many attempts have been made to improve it. Some of those attempts may have been objectively better but the cost to change the stand

I still use reverse polish calculator (on my phone) but I'm not used typing it left to right but executed right to left. For example in uiua: * + 1 2 5 Pushes 5 on the stack, then pushed 2, then pushes 1. Then pops 1 and 2 add

you may also enjoy uiua ( https://www.uiua.org/ ) which uses these alien glyphs but is even more alien because it's a concatenative language (stack oriented), like forth or postscript, but to make it even more alien it&#

My chance of dying because of a dinosaur-estinction-event-class asteroid hit is one in a 65 million years, thus every two and a half days on average a random person on earth dies being hit by an asteroid of that size.

The pdp-11 was also an "octal machine" and it was clear from all the documentation that it was. When did the switch to hex happen?

I think there is value in complaining and resisting a bit, but one has to be ready to let go when the point of no return is crossed.

The point is not that you should be able to ban humor in one place or another. The point is that you should be free to perform humor in another place and not have that bleed over in the place where it is banned and have repercussions there.

I think we all have to find a better way to distinguish the things that are being said from the message that you want to convey. As long as we keep reacting to the thing being said immediately giving for granted that the other person actual

The service level in Italy was unbelievably bad for a time, then got much better, with occasional dramatic drops in quality. The problem is that (like in many areas) our collective subjective memory of things lags behind reality, sometimes

That's true but with a twist. Christianity is actually a weird hybrid of Abrahamic religion and pre-existing graeco-roman traditions, and is so in a rather complex way, i.e it's not just absorbing a couple of rites here and there,

Is that a fair assessment though? I mean, the West has a great deal of failings and hypocrisy and books can be filled but it's also full of people who do value human rights and have effective political means to apply counter pressure.

Nice. But the beauty of GP's approach is that you don't need to issue another open syscall to open argv[0] in order to access (read or mmap) your code but instead just piggy back on what the kernel just did for your entry point an
