Since its inception, the US government has never liked paying soldiers for war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Mutiny_of_1783
Alexander Hamilton didn’t even want to pay the IOUs back, until he decided that many were owned by investors that had bought them from soldiers. The quote was something to the effect of, “those investors are true Americans and they should get their money.” The Dollop podcast has a good 4-parter on Hamilton that covers that and other issues.
Agree. Checks are the way.
If I recall from The Dollop Podcast correctly, corn flakes were first used as a douche.
Just support anything that isn’t Google and gets the job done.
They are all some binary file that completes a task. That LLMs have a statistically derived “personality” (if one would be dangerous enough to call it that) to make people like them was a purposeful mistake in development to trick people into embracing the technology. LLM is non-deterministic by nature which means results can never be trusted.
Honestly, the Photoshop filter analogy may be wrong because the filter is deterministic. The same settings produce the same results every time as it is math on an image file. LLMs literally can’t do that.
LLM tech is only seeing more “reliable” results now as they often throw the tool against a sandbox environment where it has to execute deterministic code to compensate for the random unreliability, and it still screws up.
Linus knows code, the tool sped up his process. In the absence of his knowledge, it would be useless.
Neat toy, but way too inefficient to bank the future on, and very dangerous to have such a religious reaction to.
LLMs are akin to fancy Photoshop filters for code. They can be used well by professionals and terrible by n00bs.
They are but a (very inefficient) tool.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System1 at least as a stopgap, a small-ish adtech company that may or may not be privacy focused (their claim) is still better than Google. But yeah.
Just to see the clear message in app metrics is a good thing though.
Just about every map works fine these days. Google tends to route the inefficient routes once you learn your city. Ignoring it tends to be faster, then at that point, you don’t “need” map apps at all.
He isn’t distracting. His mind is just gone.
That is likely exactly what that propaganda piece is for. “Don’t drink water, it’s silly anyway!”
Coupled with pushing sales of beverages for money.
I figure when the datacenter bubble bursts, the tech companies will keep consuming the same amounts of water and just start selling it.
Gotta find some way to the plot of The Water Knife. (Book has gas pumps that sell water, water meters next to sinks and showers, etc.)
100% it will happen. You know the process is broken, however, when Taco Bell is now the beacon of food safety.
They just want in on it.
That would suggest intelligence.
It’s so weird how Apple basically explicitly said, “yeah so you can write software for it if you want, we won’t stop you. Also, we will obfuscate everything and provide no documentation.” So it is a very soft fuck you that should likely prevent lawsuits.
I miss Apple, the company that gave you schematics and programming instructions for their computers. Wonder whatever happened to them.
They’re also groomed as children - the decision almost always made by their parents before they’re old enough to decide if they actually want to.
It’s so messed up that some states legally allow merchants to charge a “credit card fee”. Providers of services much like the above can charge if it’s a debit, credit, etc. even if they both say “Visa” on them. The concept of money in the US is so obfuscated now.
To directly quote a painted piece of wood in a pile of rubble on the side of the road after a big flood in Colorado in 2013: Fuck Allstate.
The system is set up so that people are exhausted just trying to survive. It’s not willpower. The US is structured to eat its’ humans alive.
As many as necessary to misdirect taxpayer money to the rich.
Hey, now, sometimes the rack is across the street. /s
