Yes, many image editors support converting a raster image to a vector, even high-fidelity images like the one you've shown. But creating a usable vector is more than just dropping an image into vectorizer and cleaning up the results. E

I thought it fairly obvious that the poster you're responding to was making an analogy about using GPT/LLM models for decision-making, not actually endorsing playing the lottery. And they're correct. Don't use generative

Thanks for clearing this up. This seemed like much ado about nothing, but I didn't want to assume that this guy was trying to appear more knowledgeable than he may be. I think the most impressive feat of GPT/LLMs thus far has been

Certainly an applicable analogy - all the people whose standards are low enough to use a doctored-up JPEG as a logo now have a free solution. The rest of us who'd prefer a vector graphic, or maybe a .ai or .psd, will continue paying fo

Who knows, maybe we'll see new programming jobs emerge for cleaning up all the shitty LLM code finding its way into systems as we speak. Lazy programmers have provided me a lot of job security in the past.

I wonder what kind of data they had access to. It's usually much easier to reach AND dump, say, an invoicing system, than what I can only imagine is an extremely large set of user data. Either way, bad look for a company that pitches i

I've considered that senses/reflexes may be supplemented with well-defined components feeding various signals together, but this is more of a challenge than it may seem at first. Wiring components of varying signal types together

I'll turn that right back around and ask if you considered any of the chatbots of the last decade to be "intelligent". They "felt" intelligent enough to pass Turing Tests. Nonetheless, nobody was saying it was ridic

Same, but I only run Debian-flavored Linux, so that theory was ruled out pretty quickly. It appears to be a default behavior of pseudo-terminals leftover from the days of yore, when CRLF/LF was still an open debate.

by z3c0 4y ago
Should've been more clear - I've had to update significant portions of Textual and rich to enable propagating custom line-endings from the top level, but most of the code I touched was in rich. As for the CRLF/LF issue, I p

I really like Textual. I'm very much the TUI type, and upon discovering it, I decided it would be my go-to for interfaces going forward, as - ideally - I'd be able to run the same apps on my desktop as my home server as my cloud s

The generality of its intelligence within text is still spurious at best. Context-switching is practically nonexistent, and whenever it appears to do so, it's only because your prompt pushed it towards statistically appearing to swit

Not really, no, but that's not to say that LLMs couldn't be a useful shell through which an AGI could interact with the rest of the world. But to herald LLMs as the coming of AGI would be to put the cart before the horse. A rudime

I too agree with Chomsky. It's concerning to see people piling onto GPT/LLMs as an extractive tool - something it does okay at, but in the end, something it's not made for. So many companies rushing to use it as such is goi

TBH I don't support the idea of any bailouts, but the idea that someone of your temperament is "making sure people like you don’t get to crash the economy again" doesn't make me feel any less worried.

Or maybe just people who understand that banks aren't simply giant piles of money and have such things as "operational costs" that exist outside their holdings for their clients?

It appears you're injecting a lot of details into the situation that were not specified in the article, seemingly to stir the pot. I see no mention of "executive bonuses" specifically - just bonuses, which are common for empl

I think it would explain even better why everyone tries to shoehorn their least favorite thing about "the other side" into every conversation about manipulation by state actors. Case in point.
