Technology where the entire selling point is stochasticity should be expected to do anything (everything) eventually surely?

The classic US take on global peace, ask the Koreans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghans, etc, how they feel about the long peace? Moreover, pretty sure it was nuclear weapons, not plastic, that stopped the imperial powers from directly attacking

What do you guys do when the LLM hallucinates? Someone puts a claim in on the basis of what the LLM instructed and its false, are you still taking responsibility? Geniune question, interesting to see where the liability is resting in a regu

Yea you're completely correct, any computer science degree worth it's salt will cover computer architecture, networks, basic maths, etc. Do I remember every little detail about how transistors,the memory bus, or every network topo

The USAF were using amphetamines as recently as Afghanistan, it's hard to find concrete info on but appears from the little research I've done that theres been a switch to other stimulants like modafinil. Stimulant use by soldiers

Not the author, but to me the main benefit of decentralisation will always be the stability of independence from organisations. If any aspect is centralised, you are dependent on the provider of that service. What if they go out of business

Yea I think this is the bit thats easy to take for granted in nations with rational healthcare systems. Not only do I not get fleeced, but at no point does my healthcare feel like economic activity, a transaction, it feels like healthcare a

I think what its trying to say is race as a defined biological categorisation doesn't really exist, at least not to the extent its been described in past. The biological variance between humans is more of spectrum than categories. race

Also surely the individual parts of a gun could be easily disguised. Short of refusing to print pipes + switches you're not stopping the most adamant of home weapon manufacturing.

its also not true, if we listened to expert opinion more often we wouldnt have had numerous extreme economic and policy failures in my rather short life. Austerity, Brexit, Covid, Public Order Act 2023, every moment of those last Tory years

Its more LLMs are better at vague problems with multiple non perfect solutions, and struggle at problems that require precision.

The technical reality is peer to peer multiplayer has existed for decades, and if indie studios can manage both then AAA games certainly can. Single player always online need not even enter the conversation. No point engaging with bad faith

Journalists will often try to attend these things to get a scoop, the other attendees will be trying to influence that scoop. That may not definitely be the case here, but it's also not given they're plants or anything.

And they'll probably want brand new Nike trainers and a mercedes as their first car, when did saying no to your own kids become such an issue? Explain why they can't have a smartphone, dont patronise them, give them a date of when

This is discussed in the article, and I think the author makes pretty reasonable arguments for why by nature we will not see the reliability of LLM usage improve. They also discuss what I agree as the more effective method of using an LLM i

Companies can enshittify without dying, ahem microslop. Bitwarden likely isn't large enough to survive though.

Because no AI company has been sued yet. Without more specific legislation there is no reason for AI trainers to not pilfer everything.

Citation needed. You lot elected him before, seems likely you elected him again. Pretended he won by cheating instead of because your democracy is in dire need of a refit will do little but alloallow the next facists to win as well.

I used to handle DSAR requests for one of the big 4, we'd redact the names of other people on joint accounts / mortgages / etc. Obviously the requestor would know these (I hope), but someone elses name is not your personal da

Not entirely convinced who viewed your profile falls under your personal information Source: used to handle DSAR requests for one of the big 4 banks, we'd redact all names that weren't the requestors, even names on a joint account

I think you're reading into that too much. General public have heard of ChatGPT + Musk, they have not of Sam Altman or Grok.

To be fair the overwhelming majority of tests I've seen in the wild written by humans have been the same. Not a lot of good material for AI to learn from.

This assumes US citizens using exclusively US based VPNs. You'd have to block all outside internet access as well, or you cannot stop someone in the US using a VPN based in another country (short of IP whackamole).

by ozlikethewizard 6mo ago
You'd also need to ban VPNs in other countries, which you cant, so short of stripping all access to the internet outside of America there's not a lot you could realistically do.

by ozlikethewizard 6mo ago
I mean if you're discussing strictly America, you lot haven't had any form of government that's been anything but right wing for at least a few decades (was not born before this lol).

This varies, you still see some polyphasic sleep in countries that have very hot middle of the days, Greece + Spain off the top of my head. An intentional waste of daylight because the cooler mornings and evenings are better, but industrial

Not a windows user so knowledge is a bit fuzzy, but I remember the one of the advantages of MSIX being that the actual installers have less system access, but not sure if the applications once installed are any different.

"Use of the Store app or the MSIX package is recommended." There's a big ole green download link on there for the MSIX lol.

Prior to the industrial revolution polyphasic sleep was pretty standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphasic_sleep
