Thats why I put hallucinations in quotes.

While we are at unconventional tetris implementations: I wrote a cosmopolitan libc based tetris clone for Braille display users. IOW, pieces "fall" horizontally, and blocks are rendered with (unicode) braille. https://

LLMs slurp up a lot of trolling and typical tech sarcasm through its training data. IMO a reason for "hallucinations".

Well, that fizlle implementation is not a good example of a great answer. It checks for the two conditions twice. At least I would use a where clause to define fizz and buzz.

Believe me, the common man doesn't need the ultrawealthy to dislike arbitrary cost increases. Carbon taxes are incredibly unpopular. As is common sense and/or planning for a future 20 years ahead. Humans are, on average, self

Modern society? I am not sure. Genesis 1,28 "... Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Christianity is responsible for a huge part of the human superiori

The Carbon people are also considering a novel parsing approach to get more speed by design.

I would have enjoyed that book so much more if he had left out vampires. To me, that part unnecessarily ruined the "seriousness" of that book for me. Apart from that, the underlying premise of the book is quite chilling and refr

I am reluctant to believe compiler optimisations can do everything. Kind of reminds me of the time when people thought auto parallelisation would be a plausible thing. It never really happened, at least not in a predictably efficient way.

Well, the DOD people keep finding that caring about the cache is more helpful regaring performance then the casual programmer might think. Even compiler people are thinking about ditching the classical AST for something DOD-based. I admin

I wonder, can I convert/run this with llama.cpp? It being LLaVA based seems promising.

I grew up in the 80s as a 100% blind child. Technology was by far not as advanced as today. Computers were just coming up when I was around 12. I learnt to type on a oldschool typewriter, and I also learnt to write braille with a pretty h

Ahh, I wanted to list translation as another "byproduct". That totally feels like solved now. However, while OCR done by vision models feels neat, I personally dont feel like it changed anything for me. I have been using KNFB Re

I have a similar feeling. While LLMs have given me a new way to do search/questions, it is the byproducts that feel like the actual game changers. For me, it is vision models and pretty impressive STT and TTS. I am blind, so I have

Extremism is bad, no matter if it left or right-sided. I have turned away from the left with a huge amount of disgust since I started to realize how hatred is rampant on both sides. Wanting someone dead, and saying so, it a warning sign.

Reads like a good decision on the side of Reddit. If you can't see how this type of statement is not OK, even after the fact, shows banning you was the right decision.

I suspect not reacting to that kind of problem is intentional. Just like YouTube didn't do anything against the pirated music uploads in the 2010 years, simply because being able to play your favourite pop song via YouTube was attract

> don't have the time or energy to pay attention to their children Oh, thats such a valid excuse. Maybe these people shouldn't have any children then?

by lynx97 1y ago
Wha? Whats difficult about not giving your child unsupervised access to your credit card? Thats pretty plain negligence. I need to keep saying this, apparently: What about modern parents actually get their shit together and do some actua

Me neither. I only ordered Pesto once, and it arrived in two broken glasses. As a personal anecdote, that was sufficient for me to never try ordering food items from Amazon again.

Well, in Ecuador and Peru, where I used to travel for 2 months, a lot of people were making a point of saying "América del Sur" to differentiate their place from the USA.

Nitpick: Almost all Hello World C examples are wrong. printf is for when you need to use a format string. Hello World doesn't. Besides: > puts() writes the string s and a trailing newline to stdout. int main() { puts("Hello

Just took a very quick look... Am I right that this plaintext system requires a GUI editor to be used at all? No Emacs/VIM support?

Yeah, I am also rather old, so old that I started with FidoNet before I got Internet. However, I have to admit that I grew used to the fact that it is easy to contact a node in my social graph, without having to go hunt for their email, or

I don't know about bandwidth from device to brain. Maybe Neuralink or something similar? It has been tried a lot. I saw the first sonar-alike navigation aid in the early 90s. It basically translated detected obstacles into vibration

Yes, what you are describing is how BeMyEyes started, and it still offer that feature. However, somewhere around 1 or 2 years ago, they added a OpenAI vision model based way to send in photos and have them described. In general, its a very

Claiming a social "network" without useful DMs is OK seems like masssive cope to me.
