I don't know how our brains work. If you don't just want to be snarky: I think the difference between acquisition and learning is important, I think the role of instruction might be important, I think the role of practice is impor

What's un-controversial is claims like "There will never be..." are bullshit.

I couldn't care less about the specific implementation. My parent comment said "LLMs are useless for classification, because they can't give confidence scores". I think i have shown that to be demonstrably false.

The question is not if you can "remember" it. That is not what ownership in personal information is about. The question is whether you can __sell__ the information that I had three double cheese burgers and extra greasy fries to m

A biometric id system which can only distinguish "clowns" from "non-clowns" and makes a lot of errors with regard to the images of famous billionaires. That is funny. Your example? Not funny at all.

You do not explain why these rules are stupid, much less "the stupidest". Both rules, on first sight, make __a lot__ of sense.

If you want to know how bullshit intellectual "property" is, ask the simple question of who owns the personal information the ad company collected about me? Of course, the ad company owns it, because of their hard intellectual wor

I now see how you can argue that it doesn't protect you, in a very personal meaning of you. Then, is there anything that can protect __you__ from rubber hose cryptanalysis in this sense? If not, what does my parent comment even mean?

by simbolit 3y ago
I think that is a wrong take. Rubberhose FS does protect you from rubberhose cryptanalysis. That is the point. You can argue, that it over-protects you, which might be just as or even more dangerous, and that is a fair criticism. But I don&

In what sense is a nand chip, a memory controller, and a usb plug, a "computer these days"?

It is a stochastic parrot. The error is deriving human ideas of 'quality' from that. The stochastic parrot might well be better at your job than you are.

Auto Label can do it even with closed-source LLMs: https://www.refuel.ai/blog-posts/labeling-with-confidence Also, your 90% number is a 'plausible-looking hallucination', which is mildly funny.

I agree, the difference isn't large. But my parent was asking for the difference, and I think that is the difference.

The BIG difference is that you have to trust the hardware and the operating system already, and as these are made by apple, you already have to trust them. "Trusting the servers of a non E2E service" is adding another trusted part

The goal of Wikipedia is for every "person on the planet [to be] given free access to the sum of all human knowledge". The community is a means to that end, not the end.

Not really. There are a million novels now, of which 90% is self-published for a reason (no one wants to publish it, because it won't make any money). With a text generator, there are now 10min lion novels, of which 99% won't make
