More complex forms of reasoning in the context of “Reasoning Systems” is video game NPC Ai. They take the current game state and “reason” about what action they should take now or even soon in the future. Really good video game Ai will use your velocity to pre-aim projectiles at where you’ll be in the future instead of where you are currently. The NPC analogy is one of the very thing’s being described by the term

If you truly believe that you fundamentally misunderstand the definition of that word or are being purposely disingenuous as you Ai brown nose folk tend to be. To pretend for a second you genuinely just don’t understand how to read LLMs, the most advanced “Ai” they are trying to sell everybody is as capable of reasoning as any compression algorithm, jpg, png, webp, zip, tar whatever you want. They cannot reason. They take some input and generate an output deterministically. The reason the output changes slightly is because they put random shit in there for complicated important reasons.

Again to recap here LLMs and similar neural network “Ai” is as capable of reasoning as any other computer program you interact with knowingly or unknowingly, that being not at all. Your silly Wikipedia page is a very specific term “Reasoning System” which would include stuff like standard video game NPC Ai such as the zombies in Minecraft. I hope you aren’t stupid enough to say those are capable of reasoning

They can’t reason. LLMs, the tech all the latest and greatest still are, like GPT5 or whatever generate output by taking every previous token (simplified) and using them to generate the most likely next token. Thanks to their training this results in pretty good human looking language among other things like somewhat effective code output (thanks to sites like stack overflow being included in the training data).

Generating images works essentially the same way but is more easily described as reverse jpg compression. You think I’m joking? No really they start out with static and then transform the static using a bunch of wave functions they came up with during training. LLMs and the image generation stuff is equally able to reason, that being not at all whatsoever

Ukraine has been doing pretty goddamn well for the position they are in. If anybody actually goes and intervenes in Ukraines favor they win, end of story. Course at this point Trump would try and send US troops to support Russia but we’re pretending the US isn’t just a blatant Russian asset rn

No actually! Musks entire involvement with PayPal was being fired by the company he founded which then later down the road was bought out by PayPal when the people who fired him for incompetence turned it around and made it valuable enough PayPal wanted it

I mean should const not be the default? I do want to mutate objects sometimes but usually I just need a view of it’s state and not write access. It also makes mutable data a lot more obvious if whoever wrote the code your reading wasn’t putting const on stuff they should have been. Seems like something all languages with const semantics should have done

I presume you don’t live in the US because lol. Living is more expensive than ever before in history but shit like phones and TVs cheap yay?

For now, they are dirt cheap for now and extremely unprofitable. We’re looking at more than a doubling of subscription price before they even approach profitability

What’s wrong with liking cuties?

Sometimes you don’t feel like eating a large orange.

B-but I thought Boost was abandoned because you didn’t update it for awhile…

On a serious note thanks for your work rmayayo I’m only on lemmy cause of you. I’m not sure how you resist making fun of those “Boost is abandoned” people, really grinds my gears as somebody who’s released stuff of my own and had people making similar claims for absolutely no reason (literally have a public git they can look at) but oh well. I’ve been extremely pleased with Boost both back on reddit and now here on lemmy your work is appreciated man

95% of the people in a dictatorship like the dictator! That’s crazy

LLMs don’t “learn” they literally don’t have the capacity to “learn”. We train them on an insane amount of text and then the LLMs job is to produce output that looks like that text. That’s why when you attempt to correct it nothing happens. It can’t learn, it doesn’t have the capacity to.

Humans aren’t “word guessing machines”. Humans produce language with intent and meaning. This is why you and I can communicate. We use language to represent things. When I say “Tree” you know what that is because it’s the word we use to describe an object we all know about. LLMs don’t know what a tree is. They can use “tree” in a sentence correctly but they don’t know what it means. They can even translate it to another language but they still don’t know what “tree” means. What they know is generating text that looks like what they were trained on.

Here’s a well made video by Kyle Hill that will teach you lot better than I could

Yep. Been having trouble with mine recently, it’s managed to learn my typos and it’s getting quite frustrating

In other words “please dick me harder capitalism”. Right…

You are best off thinking of LLMs as highly advanced auto correct. They don’t know what words mean. When they output a response to your question the only process that occurred was “which words are most likely to come next”.

Uh yes, they do. It’s the same group of people falling for this stuff over and over. Crypto, NFTs, Self Driving, AI now. What’s important to them is being able to point at this stuff and make a wojack face

Fuck me man that’s what I get for writing that just before bed

Lol yeah. I don’t even really write C++ but I sure as shit know a bunch of syntax and junk haha

It’s part of the type yet it’s also a unique identifier. That’s the whole thing with east or west const. const int * is a immutable mutable pointer that points to mutable immutable memory. int *const is a mutable immutable pointer that points to immutable memory. int const * is the same type as the first example, a immutable mutable pointer that points to mutable immutable memory.

Same stuff applies to references which makes it easier to think of the variable owning the * or & as if you want that pointer or reference to be const it has to go after.

Edit:I am a moron who managed to get it exactly backwards :|

No idea why that’s so scary to you. The only permission that’s understandable to be concerned about would be external write perms and that will at worst delete a bunch of your shit, not snoop through any of it. Trackers are also super typical, you’ll have a really tough time using your phone while avoiding all of these.

Hell all the OSS apps I use have some sort of crash reporting and way the fuck more permissions than boost does. Dude wants to make money off Boost and I think he deserves it. Most devs do, most OSS folks just accept they’ll never make a cent from their labor or rely on donations.
