Sounds like an awful experience. It's easy to create fake FB or Insta accounts to get around the restaurant menus problem, but getting WhatsApp banned must be a nightmare. I didn't even know that could happen!

It is legal in the US. In fact you can potentially make a decent bit of money if you're paid $70 per donation and can donate 100 times per year [0]. Don't know if it would be worth the time to travel to the centre and wait in line

Tangential and anecdotal, but despite supposedly being the UK market leader JustEats is pretty terrible. I've used them twice in as many years and the experience was awful both times. Missing items, meat in vegetarian dishes, late del

Exactly. 'git add' forces you to locally review which code changes you actually need, and catch any debug code, attempted fixes, a bit of whitespace you typed while thinking, refactorings that didn't actually turn out to help

Interesting point. If eleven 1x developers multiply their productivity by 10, that's roughly the same as one 10x developer doing the same. Assuming of course that such quantities can be meaningfully applied.

For sure. It's not inherently bad that a company encourages their staff to use AI. But there are better ways than just announcing you are now AI-first in everything and they must tell you how they're using AI in performance review

One problem with the Fermi paradox is that the Drake equation simply multiplies expected values together without regard to the underlying distributions. You can think about it this way: what if the actual mechanisms of the evolution of life

I'm with you. I don't think Banks is saying "this is the best way for things to be". I think he's saying "this is the best way things can realistically be once true AI is developed and given appropriate rights&

Fair point about comparing performance reviews. It's also practically impossible to judge someone's performance on novel tasks, or whether they're caring enough about tech debt. Even as I wrote my first post there was a naggi

No, I agree. Just give the kids brick phones if you're that worried.

Definitely true. "Give me a week, and I can implement this 1000-LOC feature. Give me a month and I can do it in 100 LOC."

Yeah I have to eat my words. Keir Starmer is a terrible example given how much he's banging on about "open border policies" and "small boats". A few tens of thousands - often of the most needy refugees - come in sma

You reckon the riots would still happen if the story was that the perpetrator was - let's say - an aboriginal Australian or a pygmy from New Guinea? Highly doubtful. The narrative had to align with what the far right have been spinning

In the UK we're having one of the hottest springs on record. Spain and Portugal may be similar.

by n4r9 2y ago
Yes. But specifically I'm referring to how a group of far-right social media accounts exploited that tragedy to whip up a violent frenzy of riots, starting with Southport.
802.
by n4r9 2y ago
Not so; Keir Starmer is talking about cracking down on immigration and is certainly not far-right. You veer into the far-right when you dehumanise immigrants and use terms like "cockroaches", "Muslim invasion", or "

by n4r9 2y ago
The furore was whipped up on the basis of the perpetrator being Muslim, illegal, and an immigrant. In my opinion it fed off the residual unresolved tensions of grooming gang cases. But of course the actual perpetrator was none of these thre

Is that the article you meant to link? It says that a specific document was a hoax, not the entire concept of the far right.

Oh, I think I see. You're imagining LLMs that learn from PO feedback as they go?

I thought the fallacy bit was tongue-in-cheek. They're not actually arguing from authority in the article. The system you describe appears to treat programmers as mere cogs. Programmers do not simply write and iterate code as dictated

Although I'm sympathetic to the author's argument, I don't think they've found the best way to frame it. I have two main objections i.e. points I guess LLM advocates might dispute. Firstly: > LLMs are capable of appe

The legal system does not operate according to blanket statements. Police make a judgement of whether the death threat is credible. This depends on how specific the threat is and whether it occurs in the context of likely violence.

> if you want to make a point about did someone do it while at a protest You make it sound pedantic. When drawing a parallel with the case of Lucy Connolly, the point is whether the behaviour incites hatred or violence.
