Many of these problems don't seem scientific at all, but rather a problem of political will. As you said, Solar power is incredibly economical. There are plenty of ideas around putting them over farms, or parking lots en-masse to provi

I expect most businesses that accept IDeal in the Netherlands will accept Wero, because they already have the code for it. I've been paying with IDeal for a long time.

You can, and should, do both. The mythologising of some really bad people got us here.

Same. Even the most basic versions of LLM are magical to me. To encode meaning from language like that, and to then form relationships based on it, and use it to solve problems. It's an amazing technical achievement. But I want to be r

I helped maintain an open source repo. I get "Issues" from time to time that point out small trivialities in a repo that hasn't updated in over 2 years. On services that don't even get used. When I respond to them, they

I don’t think so, because it’s being used as a way to try to remedy one of the new problems brought in by agentic coding - loss of context of what code does.

I feel like this will do almost nothing? Mindlessly typing something is not much better than copy and pasting? I could maybe see it if you asked it to spit out pseudocode you had to rewrite. At least there’s some translation there… But this

Get rich quick scams, this market existed before GenAI. They’d hire ghost writers, and then put them on audible. Now it’s easier than ever. So the market explodes. But it makes legit writers harder to find. Its bleak.

I wouldn’t be happy if those companies used my vegetables to open a Michelin star restaurant, even if I got a free McDouble out of the deal. Plant based I guess I don’t know metaphors are hard.

I don't know how else to explain it. It doesn't feel the same to have my contributions smushed into a linear-algebra machine? For me, the incentive was the idea that my contributions might have directly helped someone. That absolu

"One Reddit theory even suggested it was a deliberate rug pull designed to cripple the free site to push people towards paid products." I know this isn't really the point of the article, but I've been thinking about this

Or to validate the accuracy and efficacy of the actual code produced.

I mean, sure. But what an absolutely insane predicate. "Not reducing the quality of the output substantially" is (as an AI might say...) load bearing there. Other problems include: Signal to Noise Ratio going through the roof.

More to it, the actual bloody companies are using them as a reference. Maybe it’s a 3d version, not an svg - but it clearly shows they’re on the radar of these companies.

Sure, but I do think there’s a pretty substantial difference between the two. A parasocial relationship maintains a distance. You do not have 24/7 access to that person (in a dialogue sort of way.) And that influencer will have their o

I was thinking about an experience I had recently, and how it relates to my feelings about AI... And it bummed me out a lot. So I took over an open source project called Omnivore. It's a reading app in the vein of Pocket. The hosted ve

It's funny to see this article (LLM Smells - https://shvbsle.in/various-llm-smells/ ) and then see that exact button type on this article.

My partner swears by it for the Data when scrobbing with Deezer (and formally spotify.) He pays for it.

It's become a cultural term to refer to someone suffering from delusions exacerbated by AI. It's a little rhetorical device to draw in the reader, and personally I think it works quite well.

What an odd view of what I said. I'm not asking for the people who hurt me to be hurt. I am asking that the responsibility of the actions that management layers took be considered in layoffs. For instance - If overhiring happened, how

by podgietaru 6mo ago
My stance is this: Fine, maybe you need to restructure for profit reasons. If that is the case, then it is also beholden upon the people doing the layoffs to understand their responsibility in that. In an ideal world, a layoff of this scale

I toyed around with using Language Embeddings as a way to categorize my RSS Feeds. It works pretty well. But importantly, it's so cheap that I have never really seen it on my bill. An earlier prototype used OpenAI embeddings. I loaded

They made the same mistake a lot of people do, 8-bit meaning Retro style. But they're from the 16bit(?) GBA games.
