It’s not just that the input data is crap. Mostly the issue is that an LLM is a glorified autocomplete. The core of the technology is making grammatically correct sentences. It has no concept of facts or logic. Any impression that it does is just an illusion borne of the word probabilities baked in.

LLMs are a remarkable example of brute-forcing a solution to a problem, but it’s this same brute force that makes me doubt it’ll ever reach the next level.

The US are just a bad parody of themselves at this point.

I didn’t say they were perfect. They just seem less bad. At things stand, lethal injections simply do no go well as a standard.

And on top of that.

If you must have the death penalty (and really I’d challenge that but for the sake of argument let’s say they must).

Then injections are one of the worst ways you can do it. Hanging and beheading are much more humane ways to end someone’s life.

I hope people don’t get pulled over for gaming a navigation app and a phone mount on their handlebars. That would suck.

What year is it? Locked devices have been illegal in Quebec for, like, ever.

I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they’re absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don’t because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It’s just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for “collaboration”…

Eh, not sure it’s got anything to do with the political spectrum anymore. At this point I’m not sure what to call it but the US and allies’ obsession for maintaining ties with Israel no matter what feels divorced from… Well, a lot of things, really. But among them the left/right spectrum.

I can’t talk much. Canada is also selling Israel the supplies they use to do their mass murdering.

The US has two parties: center-right and far right.

Vue and React are popular alternatives.

Lit is a less popular alternative that’s 100% compatible with native WebComponents, and I’ve been interested in it ever since I first heard of it.

The old version, AngularJS, died. The newer Angular lives on, and I heard it’s a much better experience.

According to the dictionary, 抜き打ちnukiuchi and 抜き付けnukitsuke sound like synonyms. I’m a little confused.

I guess with uchi (to strike down) vs tsuke (to put, attach, etc) one sounds more like the result and the action but it’s weird that the definitions from Jisho.org aren’t too explicit.

There’s also smelting. Japan didn’t have the technology to completely melt iron, which complicates things.

Rapiers are a tad more modern, but there is a parallel in how they were a bit of a status symbol and often used for less “normal warfare” scenarios.

For now. I suspect some evil person will eventually think of baking in default ads for when it can’t connect to the network to get new ones.

I think the profanity filter used to be non-optional on iOS’s autocorrect.

I wonder what would happen. Let’s say 10,000 people.

Let’s say some extremist, highly organized group manages to successfully assassinate the 10,000 richest people in the world, and then disappears without a trace.

I’m guessing those people would all be succeeded by their next of kin. Would that cause a wave of change or…?

This is so weird. It reads like fiction.

Why is there a whole military briefing transcription right there in a newspaper? Isn’t that supposed to be secret?

It’s got RGB. Man, it must do so much FPS (fabric per second).
