"Hell's Angels" isn't actually still a thing, is it? Like I just presumed they just melted into boomer Harley Davidson whatever clubs?

And the fact that this, the literal only solution that has any chance of succeeding, is this far buried down in the comments, says so much about this industry.

I'm Black. This is such an abstract incentive problem such that I can't much care, given the obvious real ones we already have.

Good. We should do more to tailor fines to income to the extent feasible. Otherwise it's just a hardship for the poor and an inconvenience fee for the rich.

"I didn't care about fooling the diners." See, that's the moment you've lost the plot. That's where, for me, I realized this article may have been dancing around a good idea, it ultimately fails. This is the

Yup. IMHO, I think "bullshitting" is a much better word than hallucinating and/or getting it right! Much like real life bullshitters, it is inclined to say something truthful-sounding, but doesn't actually have a stron

You're stuck on a problem. You grab a random comic book from the shelf and something that is written in the comic book sparks your solution in your head. How intelligent is the comic book? Is it hallucinating or being correct or what?

Not much different. Except that there's a dumb thing that humans are doing which is giving weight to the magic brainy computers.

There's really no "right or wrong" per se -- the question that's really being asked is "to what extent does it resonate with a person?"

You Google a restaurant that appears to be open. You go there, and you find that the restaurant is no longer there. Did Google "hallucinate" a restaurant? Because this is no different.

In your opinion, what is the text-editor equivalent of Openbox?

No mention yet of "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again?" by David Foster Wallace? Okay, so this. Read it if you haven't. Probably the best essay on a generally "unheavy" topic I've ever read, and so

I mean, given that I've literally done some version of it at home with RAG and it wasn't terrible, it's hard to think that it will be super difficult? As in, I may not be able to do "general knowledge," but who will

Nailed it. Personally, if I were to write something like this, it would be in the realm of "Against taking notes in books?" As in, if you wanna reread it, great, and if not, that's okay too. You might find one thing I enjoy

Interesting. I'm on my university's IT Governance council, and we were discussing who was using the most data storage. I presumed the film school, but, as you can guess, it's Dance, at about 70% compared to the entire rest of

Glad to see someone go deep on this in a way that I've felt while using it but was unable to fully articulate why it's so bad. Again, I'll keep saying it, I'm not the biggest Apple fan in the world, but however many Gnom

No, what I'm saying is -- it's kind of like Linux. Yes, it would cost kabillions to recreate Linux from scratch. But no one has to anymore because it's here and anyone can just grab it. Same with the models. What I can downlo

I am genuinely baffled at how someone could come up with this take? I suppose it's because I went ahead and copped a $500 card about a month ago, and I can already literally do more than the big paid models presently can. I lack s

Hard for me to not see efforts like this as further proof that Generative AI might be revolutionary and important technology, but that the decentralizable nature of all of it means that no big company is going to make piles of money off o

This all just feels downstream from "skin-in-the-game," which we still overwhelmingly do not have in software development. Through regulation or liability, when software harms people negligently, you have to punish the creator(s).

I think I agree that they shouldn't use "open source," but again, this confusion highlights that you have to put in work when it comes to this topic. Free Software has the GPL, and all its related, healthy controversy. It&#

The age of an opinion is not in ANY WAY an indicator of how important it is, nor does reducing it to being "political." Statements like this remind me that I really need to KEEP GOING with this.

I actually like your first definition a bit better; very in line with the way the term was academically in vogue a few years ago; the idea that you're expressing information intended to appear factual without regard for how factual i

Obligatory "Stallman Was Right." Once again: for those who are new here. There is Free Software, which has a usefully strict definition. And there is Open Source, the business-friendly -- but consequently looser -- other thing. Y

It's true that we don't need more distros. It's also true that we don't "more tiling." We can use more Window Managers maybe. We sure as hell don't need more Desktop Environments. What we've always

If Telegram helps Mother Russia more than it hurts it, which it likely does + it's something Snowden would reasonably say. Makes perfect sense to me.

Yeah, Snowden's kind of no longer the authority on any of this anymore: But more to the point; I find it kind of hilarious how the crypto bros* are UP IN ARMS over this; like weren't y'all supposed to make a blockchain versio

Except that there is a good bit of data suggesting that access to porn does reduce sexual assault.

At the risk of whatever, I believe we do have good data on this sort of thing when it comes to adults. It's often noted, if not utterly established, that "internet access" (aka porn access) strongly correlates with (and thus

Again, you're getting too abstract. It's US, the teachers first. Then perhaps the students as well.
