People who get uptight about swearing irritate me. I understand getting upset about racial slurs or other actually loaded language, but getting upset about the word "fuck" but not "sex" is just making up things to be…
That removes a lot of the content. Much of this is inside clickable menus that reader mode doesn't capture. For a site that is apparently for people with disorders, the accessibility is somewhat appalling.
Sometimes you can't help it, sometimes you are related to those people, and sometimes they also can't help it. If I'm out with a friend who has a severe disorder that means he can't help but make a loud "whoop" sound…
Verizon in particular. My Pixel 3 is still more than capable hardware-wise, but it's years out of software support. I could get much more use out of it, but the bootloader is locked and Verizon will not unlock it, so…
It's not well established at all. I don't think a single study has conclusively and causatively linked pornography use to lower testosterone levels.
Throwing plastic on the ground instead of in a bin is already illegal, and often carries $1000 fines if you are caught. And putting it in a bin already is just kicking the can down the road. I say we blame the…
You're misreading the comment. It's not that "for your safety" always implies tyranny, it's that tyrants always prefers to say that they're doing things for your safety.
I thought so, but the rest of the comment is worded quite reasonably, so I decided to not interpret it as hyperbole or irony.
Everything involving any kind of coordination, cooperation, competition, and/ot communication between two or more people involves politics by its very nature. LLMs are communication tools. You can't divorce politics…
The problem is that for the vast majority of use, LLM output is not revised or edited, and very many times I'm convinced the output wasn't even fully read.
I agree with you. I think it's a bit wasteful and dumb, I just don't find it either sick or confusing.
I agree with you, and I'll put it slightly stronger. Ruby is a better language than Python in every way except the very most important two: - Imports in Ruby seriously suck compared to Python. Everything requires into a…
I think they would have to here, to support native modules. Jython (and I believe IronPython, but don't quote me) does not support native CPython modules. CPython modules explicitly control the GIL, so if they are…
Thanks for pointing this out. It looked weird to me, but I couldn't quite put my finger on why.
Eh, it's still a numbers game. Changing your chances of contracting terminal cancer in the next 5 years from 1% to 0.5% is still significant. In this case, the specific percentages are all the significance. When a lot…
We can and do, all the time. And all puzzles are a "waste of resources", really. I'm not into crypto and I do think Bitcoin is stupid and wasteful, but I don't find it "sick" or all what upsetting that this kind of…
The point is that many (maybe most) of us didn't even realize that "soup" was part of the company's name. I always assumed something like "Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup" was by the company "Campbell" or "Campbell's".…
> Killing copyright because you dont like Microsoft would equally kill things like Free Software (because it would invalidate the freedoms enforced by the GPL.) Without copyright, the GPL wouldn't need to exist because…
I think you're overestimating LLM usage.
The article addresses this: > Computer people adopted a term in use for more than half a century and brought it into the digital world. The wording in the Harvard log book—“first actual case of a bug being…
Maybe it's because I'm working a lot with V8, but that looks quite a lot like most C++ generics I've been looking at lately. Especially when working with concepts, it's easy to end up 5 or more nested angle brackets in.
The argument was "I don't want to learn Rust, I'm not going to learn Rust, and if you put a non-C language in the codebase, I'm going to break it without giving a shit". Not sensible in the least.
I have, but only as an idiom, never literally. E.g. "Microsoft just keeps hoovering up companies", but the literal act of vacuuming is only called vacuuming.
The way we do it is not the same way they do it. They literally only predict the next probable tokens. The way they do it is amazing, and the fact that they can do it as well as they do is amazing, but human thinking is…
There's also enemy motion, enemy attacks, shooting, and UI considerations, which make the combinatorials explode. And Doom movement isn't tile based. The map may be, but you can be in many many places on a tile.
