Well, it’s their business to know what you like doing in the privacy of a bedroom. Knowing is nothing at all like not knowing. The impacts on society are totally different.

lol, imagine seeing you’re “a random EA employee”

Glad the article went on to mention them.

No they’re not.

Brain defaults to that after “Trump says”

I think people assume the AI code goes first, but it’s not really like that.

I just busted out a half day of coding. Really impressive stuff for my standard and was just in flow with little optimisation breakthroughs popping in my head as I made it through. Output looks great, all working as expected, documented and commented my new things in case I forget them later or want to explain them to the team.

But later, I’ll probably run it through a model real quick and expect at least one change, usually around tidying things up or an opportunity to optimise a block here or there a bit more. Basically tighten up any loose screws or be pointed to big obvious things I somehow missed.

Really, I think that’s how most devs are making use of it. It can be frightening the shit LLMs come up with starting for scratch (that goes with anything), or even 60-70%. Doesn’t matter how good the prompts are, at the end of the day, it’s relying on Frankencode sourced from all over the place to apply solutions. It has no consistent and familiar, style, logic, or “accent” in its language. But if it’s got an established and detailed base, concept, and direction (such as a mostly completed chunk of code), frequently enough it’ll assist well with finding dumb shit.

It’s like a final phase thing, to get you beyond, “It seems work work well; good enough.” to “It’s definitely working well. This is done for now.”

I like to think that’s what’s going on here because anyone with even moderate developing knowledge/skill/experience totally sees just how bad LLMs are at coding.

In my country, yes. We’ve tended to lag behind price increases in the US too.

Why?

Probably most of Truth is on Twitter

It’s weird that someone could be successful in politics based on such a stance.

Literally nothing about governance of state in there, just a single strand of social opinion.

It’s like winning a captaincy in Grade 7 because you said the teachers smell, but like, this is adults and it’s been working.

It’s easier to use their names

Deci = 1/10th
Centi = 100th
Milli = 1000th
Micro = 1,000,000th
Nano = 1,000,000,000th

Deca = ×10
Hector = ×100
Kilo = ×1,000
Mega - ×1,000,000
Giga = × 1,000,000,000
Tera = × 1,000,000,000,000,000

Etc prefixing the thing being measured.

So you know what a centimetre, gigabyte, megaton, kiljoule, etc. are.

Other easy conversions too, like 1kg = 1L of water.

And it’s metre. Because a meter is a measuring device and all this shit is Latin (metrum) like proper science stuff be. Americans don’t even use it, so they can fuck off with their misspelling.

And that’s it. You now know the metric system. You probably now realise you’ve been using it all along for many things.

Got a 9070 in August. It’s already gone up 72%.

Can’t wait

I’ve always subscribed to the idea that Lucifer was the good guy that tried to overthrow God but lost. He got A THIRD of the angels backing him. That’s not insignificant. Shit was going on and people were unhappy.

Even though the Bible is written by the victor, it somehow still manages to show how fucking evil God is.

The Abrahamic religions and their followers are completely nuts or simply just don’t know much about their faith.

That’s not how the story goes at all.

He didn’t defy God; he wanted to be God.

Mankind wasn’t a factor, it didn’t even exist.

You’d have better luck spinning a story about a bad breakup and we’re a puppy someone got out of impulse, thinking it’d fill the lonely void.

It’s his examples that I’m going off. But maybe he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and an IBM engineer is losing their shit at upper management right now. I used to work for them a long time ago under Virginia and that was standard… Though, so has been every other place since.

I give IBM credit because so many of the people there are ridiculously smart. Not their business people.

“It’s a simple question for any enterprise. Would you like something that’s 10 percent of the cost if it’s 90 percent as good as the best, or do you want to pay that 10 times higher cost?”

That really depends…

90% is disasterous. It may sound good because it’s “just” 10% off 100%, but it’s awful. Two iterations reduces that to ~0.01%< but that’s still pretty bad. Obviously the more complex, the higher the risk and the more demand and time per iteration. The machine also has no concept of criticality, so how much is being saved with three or even four iterations to assure failure is basically zero?

“Then the question is: how many tasks require that? I would tell you some do, but the vast majority, summarizing an email, examining a contract, answering a customer call, composing an email, all of those can be done as well with the much cheaper answer.”

Imagine 10,000 emails an hour through your enterprise and 1,000 times It fucks up. Anything from missing info to misinterpreting to just straight up modifying/deleting. No concept of criticality per email. 8,000 in a 9–5 office. 24,000 a day for a global enterprise. That’s what 90% looks like.

Then you got “examining contracts” and all the other stuff he mentioned…

No one’s being aggressive, harassing, or being bothered. Just pointing out what it is.

I mean, you just basically said the same thing yourself 🤷

Weird angle. He’s not even in the Epstein Files.

They think it helps prevent their comments from being used by LLMs or “poisons” them.

It should be obvious why that would never had been a thing from day one. But now, ironically, their use of it reinforces “þ” as a substitute so it’s prob been years since it’s needed to be in pre-training code too.

It’s quite literally a tinfoil hat.

Uh, yeah! Mine too. All the pirate stuff has been my damned appliances. I delete the files immediately, of course. I wouldn’t even steal a car, let alone a movie.
