if writing a "data" file is how you configure the app, then that data file is the interface between you and the software. Since you are a user, that makes it a user interface.

lora is hilariously inadequate for what you mentioned.

I have a bluetooth headset from 2017 right next to me that did just that, it could be paired and connect to obher devices. Wifi direct. Apple didn't invent it. Android also does that. Also that's now also an optional part of the b

The terminal has a nasty bug where sometimes it starts typing a bunch of stuff with each keypress. The only way to fix it that i found is to close the terminal, which isn't much of a fix

you can't use a system with the exact same hallucination problem to check the work of another one just like it. Snake oil

whoops, got the numbers wrong. 1gWh is how much electricity a person uses, not how much energy the body consumes. That works out to about 72 years 365 days 2000 kcal = approx 61 gWh

a human being uses about 1 gWh in a lifetime on average. Training one model nowadays uses more than that. So the model also cost more to train than to raise a team member (possibly all three of them)

so in that case, don't compare them to humans in the first place

so the application crashes inside the container, and the container is restarted, vs the application crashes outside the container and it is restarted. What's the difference?

Noooo!!! Packaging all your dependencies by static linking is bad! Packaging all your dependencies as shared libraries into one tar file, separately for each app, is the way to go and needing another runtime just to be able to run your prog

you can also do the mouse wiggle thing on kde. And unlike macs, the cursor never stops growing until you stop shaking. You can literally get it to cover the whole screen. So funny for me

You can shuffle a deck of 52 cards, and be reasonably confident that nobody has ever gotten that exact shuffle (or probably ever will, until the universe dies). But at least in this case, we are sure that a deck of 52 cards can be arrange

But only goes up in the sense that it's getting closer to a horizontal asymptote. Which is not really that good.

But only if you blindly trust someone you don't know (the CAs). The irony

edge cases are exactly what I wouldn't trust an LLM with.

for your own use you can use whatever crap you have a machine come up with for you. For use on others, no. It's not about just the quality, it's about not even knowing what you're selling.

They are free to use them for themselves. But to use these apps on others can be life threathening in cases. And if not it's still unethical to sell such software when they are literally unable to describe what it can and cannot do

so... vibes. got it. There is no ground truth to compare to in most cases. Because they are not in the training data where you can make objective quantifiable measurements on the statistics.

it most definitely is not.

well yeah, better not existing at all actually, if they're crap and you're ok with that. Those just serve to pad out your resume for nontechnical people. It's not like you're actually learning much if you couldn't b

if you insist that they are different, then please find one logical, non-subjective, way to distinguish between a hallucination and not-a-hallucination. Looking at the output and deciding "this is clearly wrong" does not count. No

I hate this "early stages" argument. It either works, or it doesn't. If it works sometimes that's called "alpha software" and should not be released and hyped as a finished product. The early stages of the GU
