The base is highly relevant. Base + Difference = Result.

You are missing my point. The planet is warmer now, less stable. That makes a smaller relative amount of warming take us even further away from what used to be normal.

The global average temperature was about 1.5C lower back then.

As I understand it, LLM prompts include a random element to avoid giving exactly the same answer to the same question asked repeatedly. So it may well be as good as random from my understanding.

What is "emergent cyber capabilities" supposed to mean?
96.
by sfn42 2mo ago
Exactly. It's not planning and plotting it's just randomly "making decisions" that don't necessarily align with its given goal. It's not nefarious it's just not actual intelligence. It's an illusion t

A better car for most people is not just a chip upgrade. Anyone with a lick of sense has no need for more horsepower than whatever a standard EV has. It's beyond plenty for normal driving. I drive an Opel Corsa E which is a cheap EV an

I don't use IG but my girl does and she likes to show me things. She does use the app and it drives me absolutely nuts how she tries to show me a video or image and I can't actually see/read the main point of it because there

That will always be the case though. No education is perfect, it will lag behind infustry standard because it takes time for the curriculum to catch up and industry standard still evolves rapidly. I also think this view severely underestima

This is why I always recommend an education over self learning programming. I can absolutely see the argument in places like the US where it costs an arm and a leg, but in Europe and other places with free education it's pretty much a

Can't really speak to that as I do mostly web development. Not sure why there would be any issue with any other kind of development though?

I have used both VS and Rider for .NET development and for me Rider beats VS by a mile.

The difference between the problems you listed and climate change is that those problems are solvable. That's why we've solved them. They're also not nearly the same scale as climate change which is apocalyptic. You just cher

Yeah if we're back to sticks and stones we might as well be extinct as far as I'm concerned.

In not talking about baseless predictions. I'm talking about science. This is not speculation, it's not a possible future scenario, this is the world we currently live in and the trajectory we know for a fact that it is taking. We

I imagine that 100 years from now(or significantly less than that) the ocean water level will be several meters higher, large parts of the world will be unliveable due to heat waves and wars will be fought over food and water. I doubt our s

How else do you help people learn if not by giving feedback? As an avid helper in a programming related discord channel I need you to understand that a lot of the people who come to these places for help are incredibly stupid. It's n

We're not space faring. We just put up satellites. There's nothing for us outside of the earth. It would take months of travel just to get to the useless barren wasteland that is Mars. Maybe some day we'll be mining asteroids

I'd say who you really are is whoever you really are. If you're acting like a dick then you really are a dick, I don't care whether your financial situation influences your behavior.

Had a similar experience. Was at a party when I suddenly received a notification from our country's equivalent to cashapp/Venmo. It was about $450, so not a lot but enough to be significant to many people. About a minute later I g

By your logic, IKEA is the highest quality furniture because it's in more homes than for example Herman Miller furniture.

And you're still missing the point that software nobody uses can be of excellent quality.

Yeah I don't have a problem with liens, I have a problem with unregistered liens. There needs to be a system for registering and searching liens, it needs to be publicly accessible and the lien needs to be registered before it's v

It's crazy how this isn't simple. Surely all they have to do is to tally up the debts secured by the apartment, then sell the apartment and use the money to pay as much of the debts as possible. Any remaining debt is the lender&#x
