Complete freedom actually would mean that you can do whatever you want anywhere. You're really just arguing that complete freedom is bad (and that's a very agreeable point), but there's no need to skew definitions just…
It's Void with GUIs around runit and xbps. The problem being attempted is that Void is not very accessible to users new to Linux. This is pretty clear from the website.
> I can see why that might feel like an existential attack on Zig even if starts with a bit about how great Zig is. The original post explicitly praised Zig, and seemed to be arguing more that Zig was a great tool for…
I would be careful granting that s is less than g. There are lots of incentives other than scalping for people to create extra illegitimate accounts on Steam, and one individual can often control hundreds of bots,…
Anthropic has alleged that this model is much more dangerous than other currently available models. Their CEO has said so publicly multiple times. It's like asking why cesium isn't banned if nuclear missiles are banned.…
The entity you're implicitly proposing should take the money doesn't have a good track record of spending it wisely. I'd much rather let the startup founders keep their money and build rockets with it, than spend…
Is the "meddling" just running campaign ads? I don't really see how an election where voters' brains were hijacked by tiktok ads funded by foreign governments is less legitimate than one where voters' brains were…
If the commit was prompted by a core developer, the developer knows what the prompt was. If it was prompted by a stranger, the core developer reviewing it does not know what the prompt was. The review attention required…
I don't see what the core complaint is then. The guy the public voted for can refuse to spend public funding on a particular grant. There's no reason that it's somehow more pure to have the public vote for someone who…
> I'm not gonna read something somebody didn't put in the effort to write on their own Then don't. Nobody asked you to. Why do you people feel the need to angrily announce every time you don't read something?
You're giving a lot of credit to the human alternative, especially considering that the attacker only needs to find one lazy human.
It's useful progress. Decent-fidelity local-scale inference means that you can create a product that generates throwaway images frequently without worrying about cost. Thus far every product I've seen that generates…
If you think you're owed a salary to do something that a simple machine can do, I have a field for you to plow by hand.
Bugs exist in human code too. The AI derangement crowd pounces on any small bug as evidence that AI is a trebuchet, and thinks that if only we didn't use AI there would never be any bugs (like five years ago when all…
Why do we need any tools at all? Software worked perfectly fine when people were editing code with `ed`, so I'm going to go open timewasting issues complaining about FOSS devs using an IDE.
"Science" can do as much science as it wants on its own dime then. Public funding should be guided by public oversight, not career bureaucrats.
My understanding of caching with most models/providers is that a prefix substring of the context has to be reused for a cache hit, but not necessarily the whole entire context window. So if you prune tool calls from the…
> It’s like if I go to Golden Gate Park and pick one flower, I shouldn’t do that, but no one cares. But if I build a machine to automatically cut every flower in the park because I want to sell them, that’s different.…
It's really not uncommon for me to speak to someone who actively doesn't want any sort of adblock on their computer. I would say maybe 5% of people, anecdotally, just don't want it, even when you're in front of their…
Half of his recommendations for alternatives take less time to make. You (and the author) are making assumptions about what "people in general" think without any data to back it up. What you've experienced anecdotally…
How is this at my expense? It's at the expense of the hedge fund they bought the oil futures from before the price went up. I don't see why I should assume that some hedge fund manager is more on my side than some…
Some providers are based in the US or EU and would face legal repercussions for lying about what they do with your data. It's a bit more than "trust me bro". Off the top of my head, you can use Fireworks, for example,…
I've been having the same experience. Tasks like "go through this entire module and pedantically make it match my preferred styleguide exactly" were not worth a couple dollars with frontier models. It's nice to be able…
A friend of mine uses it for D&D prep and has told me that it's good for that in particular because of its ability to match the flavor/style that he's going for. He prefers ChatGPT for everything else.
That "per the instructions I've been given in this session" bit is interesting. Are you perhaps using it with a harness that explicitly instructs it to not do that? If so, it's not being fussy, it's just following the…
