It's not like you can't write "update this for next round of forced obsolescence " to Claude. Yes, it's unnecessary burden but solvable.

Not my experience. I tried to install on an old Asus Eee and everything worked on first try. There's a web browser (Web Positive) that works good enough given the available resources on this machine. The system itself runs very nicely

I’m working on Recoil, memory safe, compiled static language (yeah, I know, everybody’s doing it) with Rebol syntax and built-in candies like parsing, finite state machine and rich syntax (that’s given, because of Rebol). It’s nice to see h

Of course they will back it up. Nice source of income.

Have a pet project never touched by LLM. Once the tokens run out, go back to it and flourish it like your secret garden. It will move slowly but it will keep your sanity and your ability to review LLM code.

> On April 16, we added a system prompt instruction to reduce verbosity. What verbosity? Most of the time I don’t know what it’s doing.

Maybe we should also call it labor camp.

Death spiral to gas stations? why? EV cars need to charge somewhere (and on long trip it can’t be at home) and people need to take a break and grab a coffee sometime too. They will change, sure, but certainly not die. Refineries will be few

"Prompt diff" is just wish. Why not call it what it is? It’s perfectly fine to submit wishes, feature requests, RFCs or - if you want - "prompt diffs". But there’s no need for LLM to implement it, human can do it. Or not

This is very shortsighted and it’s like polishing gun to shoot your foot with it. If it’s "take it home OSS" and "there is not much need to submit PRs or issues" then why would anybody submit PRs and issues for "for

Guess what, they’ll do nothing. If Czech market is small enough for them to fix quotation marks, they’re not fixing Czech keyboard. OTOH, if an American will whine enough on Internet, they may fix it for him. Maybe some other American shoul

I don’t vote for them but when they’re in charge, I protest. I can do this because I’m not in China or ruSSia.

by rebolek 6mo ago
So could they finally fix their quotations marks in Czech? Probably no, they never cared, so why should they start caring now.

I still prefer American insanity to Russia or China flavours.

Of course they look like fools, war has changed very quickly in last few years since their friend Putin fully attacked Ukraine but they’re arrogant enough to not notice. Super-sophisticated ultra-expensive weapons are really nice to have bu

> America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. Yeah, well. That aged like raw milk.

Which is of course nonsense because LLM is from definition unable to bring in something new. It's not standing on shoulders of giants, it's just making endless copies of them.

Why do you want to destroy Wikipedia?

by rebolek 6mo ago
Yes, there are so many. As in hand-written code. I don’t take LLM written code for granted and I rewrite is sometimes. I know it’s not perfect. But it’s useful. Compile code is not perfect also. But who does hand-written assembler anymore?

by rebolek 6mo ago
I vibe my way through my ideas. I look at LLM code sometimes to cry and cringe and then I beg LLM to have basic dignity and self respect to write code it shouldn’t be ashamed of. But then I instruct it to do something and it does it with sp

Getting Rebol running on Haiku was fairly easy task, so I guess it shouldn't be that hard for Ruby too, if someone's willing to do the work.

by rebolek 7mo ago
If you like BeOS, take a look at Haiku https://www.haiku-os.org/ , it's very nice and very usable system based directly on BeOS.

Wow. "Software authors should have basic decency and respect for the users of their software." Why? Not at all. "Publishing a project as OSS doesn't relinquish you from this responsibility. It doesn't give you the r

Probabilistically generated text is light years better than my human generated mess. I know my limits and documentation is one of them.

Using LLM is perfect for writing documentation which is something I always had problems with it.

How is it misleading? It says "nanny state vs. Linux", in second paragraph says "several states in the US", then mentions EU and Brazil and California is mentioned first in seventh paragraph. It's not about Califor

The original title is "Can LLMs be computers?" But the right question is, should they?
