cc is the C compiler. Please don't overload that term with trendy LLM products. You can use the full name.

It can be that. In the same vein, playing a guitar can just be the means to an end. Some people play music to get paid. Do you think playing your 60th wedding gig feels beautiful or meaningful? I personally think git is a marvel of engineer

The Jewish people already loving in Palestine had a right to live there. The problem is when you try to forcefully displace an entire civilian population to make way for a colonial movement. In the same way I, as a Finn, would not have the

Holy misinformation. 1) Israel attacked Arab Palestine and the neighboring Arab states first, in plan Dalet. 2) Christians and Jews absolutely can live in Palestine. They were afforded that in the Ottoman empire (the Dhimmi) and they are af

The genocide still continues. They are still killing people, and are not letting people return to Gaza.

You leave witnesses because a) you know nobody will prosecute the IDF, and b) it allows people like you to question whether the clear mass murder was a mass murder.

Git is much easier to master than the piano. I played piano for years and can only just play two-handed melodies if they aren't well-aligned. I've read a few blog posts and half a book on git, and I don't remember the last ti

That's literally the opposite of how the media game around this genocide has played out. And Forensic Architecture has proven to be a reliable source thoughout the conflict.

Where I'm sitting, nobody would question that Israel is and has been the bad guy since 1948. Before that it was the Jewish Agency for Palestine/World Zionist Organisation and the British. Israel has been an apartheid performing et

I would hope any CS/Software engineering education would already include QA. Both a testing course and a general software quality course.

Modern instruments are still difficult to use unless you spend time learning how to. Just like git.

I would focus more on being able to follow the development of new and existing foundational technologies, rather than focusing on, say agentic coding. That one really sticks out as a trendy topic that doesn't really deserve to be inclu

Lol, you still don't get it. Standardization means you only need to become an expert in the standard. You still need to know the standard. And to your point in the quoted part: I absolutely could, as could any of the people who I studi

I did not focus on any religious text, I gave a counterexample. The parent went off on a weird tangent about islam on a post about vikings.

If things change fast, learning becomes even more important. And learning about the principles that don't change becomes most important of all.

Have you read the old testament? It's much the same. Why focus on this specific religion?

This is not it. This is reason #1 that the tech industry in the US is so dystopian.

Standardization is a good thing. I never said it wasn't. You're just arguing with a strawman. Your two last posts aren't even related to the discussion at hand.

Yes. They were. The US just hasn't enforced antitrust laws in decades.

The EU uses an effects-based model. If below-cost prices are driving other actors out of business or has other anti-competitive effects, it is predatory pricing.

Modeling time means there is some way of e.g. evolving state over time, or projecting change over a period of time. Or being able to count time passing (without being told by external sources). The LLM has no model of time. It is being call

Ok. Based on your answer, you don't understand very much about computers. Maybe it makes sense that you're leaning on LLMs this early in your career. But it will bite you eventually. Every x86 computer uses IEEE 754 floats, that&#

Subsidizing the cost of developing a product isn't necessarily bad, but predatory pricing that prohibits competition would be. Not sure that this case is either. This is just idiots breaking the TOS.
384.
by tovej 8mo ago
That would most likely be illegal in Finland. You're not allowed predatory pricing. And the same is true for the EU as a whole, although you may have to be operating in an international market, not just a local one. See Abuse of domina

What rubbish. A foreign bad actor declares they specifically want to feed your people propaganda through a specific communication channel. Do you need more than two brain cells to decide whether that's an influence campaign?

ATM, nobody is blocking any actual content unless it breaks very specific laws, like CSAM.

Are you capable of reading? Nobody is blocking you from your brainrot.

That's quite the strawman. The reason it's ethical is not that LLM's are unpopular or someone dislikes them. It's ethical because LLMs introduce safety hazards, i.e. they cause harm.

Oh, IEEE 754 double precision floating point accuracy? Rule of thumb is 17 digits. You will probably get issues related to catastrophic cancellation around x=0. As I said earlier the easiest solution is just to measure in this case. You don

Oh please. If a known bad actor is trying to influence your polity, the best solution is to block them. This does not mean people should not also be educated. That critical thinking is also what leads me to the conclusion this should be blo
