Because there are a lot of different types of filesystems supported. And you'd have to compile them all into the kernel. Which of course you can do, that is supported by the build system today. But Distros typically prefer to keep t

The Linux kernel does not require an initramfs. You can build a kernel with everything compiled in; with no modules needed at all. Initramfs is used for generic kernels where you don't know beforehand which features will be required.

Seems to be the nature of secret governmental organizations. There is of course some need for secrecy, but at the level and to the extent that it's at now, it would be more surprising to find out it wasn't being misused. We shoul

There are content creator "experts" going around telling their clients to take dates off of everything to make their content "evergreen" to keep engagement up. It's infuriating.

Given the legal environment, uncoordinated efforts may actually be more resilient, than wasteful.

Shrug. Seems like clutching pearls to me. People seem to have an emotional reaction and obsess on the aspects that differentiate human cognition from LLMs. But that is a lot of wasted energy. To the extent that anyone avoids employing these

Nothing of the sort. I'm trying to understand why anyone cares about formal verifiability in this context, since it's not something we rely on when asking humans to answer questions for us. We evaluate any answer we get without

You've made some interesting points, which are debatable, for sure. But you've failed to address the question being asked about "verifiability".
224.
by ta8645 2y ago
So what? You have no way to know for sure if the human you ask the same question, does either. The question that started this thread was related to verifiability. And i still think it is a spurious complaint, given that we have exactly t

You can ask an LLM to explain itself.. it will give you a logical stepwise progression from your question to its answer. It will often contain a mistake, but the same is true for a human. And if your LLM is giving you 100 different answers

I'm claiming that anyone who can't resist personal attacks when delivering their conclusions, should be viewed with extra skepticism, because it is very likely that they're letting their emotions affect their work. At the ver

Anyone who uses the term "Tech Bro" (or any other derisive personal attacks), has an axe to grind, and should have extra skepticism cast upon their conclusions, for bias and other ill-founded ideas.

It was mostly tongue-in-cheek, just to offer a different perspective. But since you ask, how should we employ our capacity to care? On fleeting comfort, or grand visions? Personally, I vote for creating a superior life form, that can carr

I'm pretty sure human's role, in the grand scheme of things, is to generate the next step in evolution. We should do the best job we can for the universe.

Yes, i've been trying to dig into this. People's values are basically a strategy; they hold these values, as a strategy developed by evolution. Evolution has found that instilling these values is a good strategy to sustain the c

Any group of rules/guidelines/rules-of-thumb can be described as a strategy; even if their goals are stated in the negative. And by my definition, the justifications for those strategies, amount to a meta strategy. To me, it&#x2

Websters definition of strategy: a careful plan or method And in practice, a strategy can be expressed as a bunch of rules or guidelines to follow. Which I believe fits nicely, with what you've described.

Both the words "morals" and "ethics" have always bothered me. I feel like they attempt to give an air of absolute authority, that is undeserved. In most cases, using the word "strategies", is much more humble

Except there are clearly times when "do not kill" is a horrible strategy, and the wrong way to proceed.
