Not trying to be glib, but whats the alternative other than suicide? Keep trying things you know havent worked?

As someone that fits some of the above categories, I think you really have to step back and repeatedly tell yourself "get over it". Its the same mentality to "I dont want to go to the gym today". You immediately feel bet

Ive been using nix-darwin for over a year now after using nixos with flakes for a bit. I now have a singular repo with multiple machine configurations. Nixos for my home server, nix darwin on a macbook air and a nix darwin with a work confi

The top 1% arent the problem. The top <=0.001% are the problem.

One thing im wondering with the LLM age we seem to be entering: is there value in picking up a language like this if theres not going to be a corpus of training data for an LLM to learn from? Id like to invest the time to learn Gleam, but I

> A failing company may still be right in identifying other companies failure modes. Agreed if this is what they are doing, but what if theyre spewing claims to try and discredit an industry in order to quell their shareholder concerns?

Id argue its already even greater. The amount of botting and astroturfing happening now means that a good chunk of the content people are consuming on those social media sites is generated by LLMs. Social media is the vector, but its the co

I'd argue the presence of dictionaries proves the exact opposite. People realised there was an issue of talking past one another due to inexact definitions and then came to an agreement on those definitions, wrote them down and built a

> But the word already means what we think it means. But that word can mean different things to different people. With no definition, how can you even begin to have a discussion around something?

Yes. News should ideally report on the reality of the situation affecting a community of people at a given time

Im not sure if this is a comment generated by a bot, a troll or something else to try and generate disinformation or something. I've seen a few comments on this thread which seem out of line from the usual sort of good natured discours

I use aerospace combined with karabiner, the latter of which allows me to set caps lock - a key I never really use, to meh & hyper. Worth checking out if youre missing a mod key

is this sarcasm? Teams is by far the worst ive used out of those mentioned

>1. There's this huge misconception that LLMs are literally just memorizing stuff and repeating patterns from their training data For a lay person, what are they actually doing instead?

I cant help but feel this analogy misses the mark. With the information people are consuming being guided by algorithms, its extremely hard for people to realise theyre being herded towards a specific viewpoint these days. It kind of remind

Funnily enough, the startup delay of oh-my-zsh is exactly what prompted me to try out fish and eventually starship on top. I have not looked back as you say!

I was vegan for 3 years and never came across this ideology. Maybe you got caught in some weird algorithms or something

> "For the longest time, writing was more expensive than reading" Such a great point and one which I hadn't considered. With LLMs, we've flipped this equation, and it's having all sorts of weird consequences. Mos

whats veganism got to do with comitting suicide?

Personally, I dont think so. I can understand a mathmatical axiom and reason with it. In a sequence of numbers I will be able to tell you N + 1, regardless of where N appears in the sequence. An LLM does not "know" this in the way

I find the use of the word intelligence to be a bit of a misnomer. Is something intelligent if all its doing is pattern matching? Is the evolution that led to owl butterflies appearing like an owl intelligent? Im not sure. As an aside, its

Interesting - your story of ME/CFS mirrors mine. Mine was triggered by a really mild cold a couple of years back, likely COVID. Thankfully a lot more research is going on into this, and im mostly back to full health now but the brain f
