Seeing that the Japanese get almost to the bottom on question "Were you treated with respect all day Yesterday?"... I suspect that the meaning of the word "respect" may be very different amongst all of those cultures, wh

This is interesting: "people in the EU also have the right to access the information stored about them under the GDPR" I think I am going to have to ask OpenAI about all the weights that are related to me. You should do the same.

It's "function calling" that's the even worst naming IMHO, as the point is that the LLM is not actually calling a function, but just proposes a function call... Who will out themselves as having come up with this confusi

Choice quote from this: """While it may be “useful” to do that refactor or redesign, or work on an annoying bug""" Shortest but not sweetest time-capsule to an already-dead moment in our collective past, IMHO

Do you produce information as part of your work? Do you expect to get paid for this work?

No the <10GB size of the model does not imply any less copyright infrigement is occuring IMHO. The fact that there is a very efficient compression involved does not change the fact that a copy of the copyrighted material, that copy being

Why do you think it is time wasting? Is it because of the wasted time of all the artists having gone to the bother of producing art that can now be approximated at the press of a button?

This makes me a little bit less of a fan of Python, maybe that thing has jumped the shark after all. Time will tell. Looking a bit more into this. I saw https://discuss.python.org/t/im-leaving-too/58408 And this r

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances is PFAS, the S is also uppercase. The rest of your comment also needs sorting through.

Public posts are by default copyrighted to the author of the post, unless the author grants an explicit license. LLM training is copying. Next question please.

Lots of missing variables in the equation: how much do you carry, how much of your body weight is useful muscle versus the rest, etc... I suspect the announced most-efficient run speed is for the most efficient (light) runner.

Very interesting. Can you back up any of these big statements with data?

On a 1-10 scale of nefariousness, I would classify Youtube as pretty low, it's a manageable addiction and with a little bit of self control the videos you watch will be worthwhile. I am a subscriber. Then there is Youtube Kids, and who

Clearly the add-supported side, that likes to pad and pad and show more adds, is working against the premium/fee-supported side, that wants to maximise value and engagement. Premium subscribers should be able to give feedback on a vide

I got one of these types of questions in a job interview once, I think it was: "in your life what do you regret the most" and I was torn between showing true honesty, possibly getting emotional, and staying professional in the ans

maybe also the weird logic in this quote shows a discreet bias: """Generally, the Left-wing approach is more effective at getting attention; it took mass destruction by hundreds of Right-wingers in Southport to make news head

The notion that it is the UN and other such organisations that led to the period of (relative) peace in the 20th century post-WW2 is very far fetched. I would bet instead on these five horsemen of the peace, in order: - Mutually Assured Des

Why oh why would new users need to guess that "3.26.0" means the 2026 release, when a "3.2026.0" is a much more explicit statement, that also makes it clear that there will never be a "3.21.0"...

Ok but this is only Amazon's SOP of mistreating employees as a trauma-bonding technique, right? I don't think this is industry-wide at all.

What about the coffee-badging? That is, turning-up for one hour or so at a convenient time of those three days, maybe getting lunch with colleagues, and working the rest while in commute or at home...

It's fiddly and annoying, the exact opposite of what you'd put in a movie, or even a boring novel. From my year in the (redacted) MoD, I still get bad memories of having to deal with stuff like https://www.3m.com/3

The notion that developers are not to be treated as adults and must have access forbidden to them, or else tight coupling will develop and rot the code, is super strange to me. If you cannot trust your coworkers to respect the _meaning of _
