LLM cannot reason about anything. It can provide text that can be plausibly interpreted as reasoning by someone reading that text. When human provides a plausible explanation then it means they either had someone else…
I hate losing access to software just because it is "unmaintained". If module is "endorsed" now, since it is included in current version, and there is no maintenance, so no changes made to it, why is it suddenly not…
As a pedestrian I find cyclist are worse than cars for obstructing my path. Riding on the footpath (illegal here) even with bike lane available right next to it, not respectig the traffic lights (mowing through…
I would like for Linux to be able to replace Windows. I run Linux on some of my computers with various levels of success. But even with Windows 11 being as annoying as it is and Ubuntu/Mint/Cachy/Fedora/etc having some…
Having seen LLMs so many time produce incoherent, nonsense, invalid answers to even simplest of questions I cannot agree with categorization of "thinking" or "intelligence" that applies to these models. LLMs do not…
We currently don't really know what intelligence is so we don't have a good definition of what to expect from "AI" but anyone who has used current "AI" for anything other than chat or search should recognize that "AI"…
UTF8 is a horrible design. The only reason it was widely adopted was backwards compatibility with ASCII. There are large number of invalid byte combinations that have to be discarded. Parsing forward is complex even…
Runtime flexibility is not restricted to dynamically typed languages, it just happens to be less available in some of the popular statically typed languages. Error handling, expressiveness, testing culture,…
I don't know what I am doing wrong but nothing written in Python has ever worked for me. I download the .py repo from from github or wherever and try to run it - errors. I try to install missing libraries pip this and…
I don't like to be seen as defending Microsoft, they definitely have their share of faults, but as far as business goes, I think Microsoft is the least likely company to screw you over as a (business) customer.…
They always had that option but somehow it was cheaper to ship there and back than to manufacture in US. So either you get 2x the tariff increase in price or you manufacture locally for something that increases the…
>Can we all stop pretending that they don't abuse of their power and hold your deepest darkest secrets indefinitely? Even though most of us are law abiding citizens. I don't anyone know who thinks powerful don't abuse…
I have a really hard time understanding why people like 0 based indexes. They are a relic of C style arrays that are based on and interchangeable with pointers which use offsets that are naturally 0 based. Use in later…
Like everything in life, it depends... For example: Storage has 5 items that need to be processed. 5 items need to be split equaly between available processes. There are currently 0 available processes so 5 / 0 = 0…
"Fixable" in computer hardware has for many years meant that the computer can be disassembled without having to melt glue and that memory, network card, and disk can be replaced without having to replace the…
Why should all other companies and developers spend money to help $2T company make even more money when it was that company that broken all the existing software? Apple users will through their money at Apple every…
LLM can only provide statistically most likely diagnosis based on the training data. If used by the experienced doctor LLM can be a valuable tool that saves time and maybe even increases accuracy in majority of cases.…
There is something disturbing about your take on this: 1) People who did the work do not deserve to be compensated. 2) Advertising is more valuable than the product being advertised. I am struggling to understand this…
Mac OS calls home every time you execute an application. Apple is well on its way to ensure you can only run things they allow via app store, they would probably already be there if it wasn't for the pesky EU. If you…
Isn't this how generative models are supposed to be used? Instead of generating a sub-par (no pun intended) logo myself, I get a model to build one for me. It is the same as using any computer software to achieve the…
If you look at the history of the last 2000+ years in Europe and Asia, invading sovereign nations (or whatever you want to call the equivalent over that period) is pretty much the norm...so not crazy. Is it violating…
Look, either you force everyone to be open to competition and interoperable or you allow everyone to lock down. How would you like all other manufacturers to do the same as Apple? BMW, VW, Ford, Mercedes, GM ec all have…
There has been a major shift in IT culture between 2010 and 2015 where the general mindset went from "Let's see if we can make computer do this" to "How can we stop the computer from doing that". This is most obvious in…
The biggest plot hole is why would machines need to stay on or below the surface of the Earth. They could launch themselves into space and get all the (solar) enery they could want that way.
The problem is with smoking, you can go "cold turkey" and the cravings will go away after a while and you just have to avoid starting again. Not easy but achievable. With food, you cannot stop eating so no "cold turkey"…
