Only bad management is keeping everything from being crazy fast. No reason for today’s programs to be slower than what we had a decade ago.

… and in a country with rule of law whether a contractual clause is legal would be decided by a court, no?

No love for those companies but just because you agreed to a contract doesn’t mean the clauses of the contract are legal or enforceable.

Legitimately most modern games or all of social media.

Revealjs also supports markdown.

Where does slop start? If you use auto complete and it is just adding a semicolon or some braces, is it slop? Is producing character by character what you would have wrote yourself slop?

How about using it for debugging?

I also want to say that Linus is still the one merging things into the kernel and he is ahm… opinionated?

Just to make sure I understand.

• the US is now doing what Iran wanted to do anyway, but
• Iran does not have to spent any assets on doing it
• all the negative optics are now on the US

Genius.

For others reading it:

ChatControl 1: allow scanning on voluntary basis (voted down twice recently)

ChatControl 2: mandatory scanning

Have you tried introducing unnecessary complexity?

This may not be so easy, what protocol does the ISP use over fibre? Honestly the network card that you will probably need might already pull more than the modem.

I think you are making the mistake of attributing intent to an LLM. A LLM does not have intent. It takes the context and generates the statistically most likely tokens that come next. The biography is part of the context.

The fact that it gives different answers based on context purely comes down to how it was trained and that there is no concept of “factual information”.

I’m not defending LLMs, this is just LLMs doing exactly what they were trained to do.

I mean this study literally says that poorly worded prompts give worse results. It makes sense too, imagine you are on some conspiracy Facebook group with bad grammar etc, those are the posts it will try to emulate.

You were just boycotting before it was cool.

Lots of governments want it. But its no excuse doing it in a stupid way. For example EU IDs should have a function that just verifies someone is over 18 without any other info being send. At least the German one does. But its not being used.

Depends on how important it is. Looking for a hint for a puzzle game: never. Trying to find out actually important info: always.

They make it easy though because after every statement it has these numbered annotations and you can just mouse over to read the text.

You can chose different models and they differ in quality. The default one can be a bit hit and miss.

I use kagi assistant. It does a search, summarizes, then gives references to the origin of each claim. Genuinely useful.

They wrote this without googling anything.

Yes absolutely. The results are actually useful, they don’t have an incentive to keep you from finding what you are searching for. There is way less copywritten content and if there is, you can just block it.

Whenever I have to go back to “free” alternatives I am shocked by how much worse it is.

I’ve seen this haven’t tried it out though
