I got sucked into a finance rabbit hole and I have been reading about some "tricks" in market making and I don't see why these are problematic? Even if it is a problem, how would you even prove it? Is it wrong to place an ask

I have worked with C++ codebase that is very conservative. They are basically C with a sprinkle of templates but a fuckton of OOP. C++ actually makes it harder to reason about the program, not easier. I have worked with C code that is much

lol try using "modern" cpp without knowing all the little subtleties and you have undefined behaviors, leaky programs and unrecognizable monstrosity that you can't possibly debug because you'd have to stare at walls of t

Do you seriously think that cryptocurrency becomes a billion dollar industry because...people use it to do what? exactly? Pretty much 99% of the people that put money in crypto expected the price to go up and sell. I have not seen any menti

I think one of the biggest problem with this kind of tools is the inability to know that it doesn't know. It doesn't really know how to be humble besides things that it has been hardcoded to response as such (like giving financial

Do you think the world can sustain the lifestyle of the average American if the whole of Africa and China have it too? We need to change, and frankly those with privileges need to. Otherwise they would rightly claim that it is unfair.

Easy, managers will have to do what they usually told their useless subordinates to do. “Write a report on this thing that no one will ever read anyway”. Then even if the higher ups actually read it, they will ask for another LLM to provide

It is entirely possible to work in tech for a company that does not make any profit for years but still receive big pay checks. I used to work for a company that is at a loss, but we have the "potential" to turn around and i still

You are mistaking qualia and the experience of said qualia. Chalmers is asking why is there experience at all. I am not talking about memories, feelings, emotions or what have you. The question is why is there someone to observe those quali

Tell me how to falsify the claim that other people are also conscious?

by kajaktum 3y ago
You are mistaking consciousness with free will.

I am not convinced. Consider the color red. I can explain the physics of what the color red is, how it travels through space, how my eyes interact with the particular waves, sends signal to my brain and somehow generates what I think of as

> The fact that other humans are so similar to me (all humans are similar in virtue of being human organisms) allows for an analogical inference: You guys are similar to me, I am conscious, therefore you are probably also conscious. That

I am really curious to know why? And don't invoke "what about your kids, mothers, fathers?". "Solipsism" (first time I have heard of this, so thank you) does not make me feel any less worse when something happens to

Thinking does not matter. It only require "awareness" or the fact that "there is" is enough. Thoughts, emotions, feelings, sensations and all qualia are something that are seen. The seer is the consciousness. In fact, th

I feel appalled by this invention but I am not sure if I am just getting old and this is just my "ok boomer" moment. But I can foresee a future where this is complete normal, and people argue back and forth whether it is useful or

I think you are just hating on LLMs because its a new thing. You can similarly argue that internet will ruin our social life because we no longer have to go to the library and meet with strangers researching up similar topics. But I don’t s

Okay, I shouldn’t have used “want”. But helping others and collaboration is not something alien in the art world. Artist publish their work almost for the same reason programmers do:’ 1. To showcase their work 2. To get feedback Also, I don

by kajaktum 3y ago
People share arts because they want to help other humans grow too, not the AI. Also the code is the end product. Similarly, artists don't share their project file because it’s not the point. This is like saying programmers not sharing

I am not sure why anyone is surprised or this should even be news. I don’t have a speck of business education and I can see this is no way sustainable. “Free forever” is not a sound business strategy (shock emoji). If it is free, like Youtu

Any language that have exceptions are trash imo. It is clearly a relic of the old day. It works for CPUs but not people.

I mean…you can technically have a function that take void* and return void* be the interface. But you wouldn’t be able to represent things like iterator and chain them together without care. In C you would be tripping all over the slight de

I am simply countering back what GP said about other companies cheapening out on features by stating that Apple is also a company. Yes, the point is that no company cares about you. Making customer happy is a side effect of them making mone

What? You can both believe that “people don’t know what’s good for them” and that “liberty and freedom is necessary for a functioning society”. For example, insects is a pretty good source of nutrient and protein but is there anyone within

Unbiased news is an unsound business strategy. It actively is against human demand (despite needing it).
