What is the alternative? It seems like a lot (a majority?) of professional formats are professionally developed by for-profit consortia, with open-source trailing behind as patents expire. Isn't this what patents are for? If a private

I asked a different question in my mind, who says it "appears to us as upside down"? I would think if you lived in Patagonia, the south pole is "up".

The OP's complaint is literally about a one-sentence paragraph, the second in the article. Plenty of warning to avoid the rest and move on, but LLM shaming is it's own reward perhaps?

Yes, but FF also prevents the extension scanning. It's scandalous that Chrome allows this!

Firefox FTW. I was relieved to find this was a Chrome-only problem.

I'm hoping the meme goes away. Internet is a dark forest, crypto DEXes are a dark forest, AI is a dark forest. Add the obligatory gloss of Cixin Liu (DF is only one of many amazing concepts in TBP but apparently the only bloggable one)

LOL I wish. LLMs massacre gradle code all the time. Once you're past boilerplate generation and doing anything remotely unusual they can't stop hallucinating broken shit that they insist works.

The jury is not out -- it's an unconfirmed hunch that, as the study you link notes, risks harming patients who are having trouble keeping down food as it is. This is just keto and fasting fans pushing their obsession on cancer patients

I'm saying that cancer treatments are some of the most scientifically-validated procedures out there, because there's essentially unlimited money to pay for them. They have eliminated or modulated any negative side effect they can

Did you notice the huge warning at the top of the article? This is garbage science.

Please don't throw around random "a study that showed" about cancer treatments and chemotherapy. If you really think it needs to be shared, share the study and while you're at it, check in with a good oncologist or knowl

Sorry to RFELI5 but but ... I thought a "token" was a word? The example is of names and the output is new improvised names, implying that a character is a token? Or do all LLMs operate at character level? Also is there some minima

Naive huh? Right wing/fascist corruption is a serious level-up of corruption. If you think your semi-socialist EU government is corrupt now, just wait until AFD or your local fascist+populist equivalent gets in. Us US-ians are no longe

I can't understand why denigrating someone as a prostitute or w**e is not called out as inappropriate if not fully misogynist. Its history is deeply, inescapably misogynist, it's anti-sex worker as you say, and it's just tack

I had the thought of an AI-specific bytecode a while ago, but since then it's seemed a little silly -- the only langs that work well with agentic coding are the major ones with big open-source corpuses and SO/reddit discussions to

Humans and all other organisms are "literally" not machines or devices by the simple fact that those terms refer to works made for a purpose. Even as an analogy "wet machine" fails again and again to adequately describe
