TikTok got its hold mainly by being extremely addictive and using predatory dark patterns to keep you scrolling. That and being less censored compared to other corporate social media. While we can try to strive for the latter (with reasonable limitations), we shall not do the former, even if that means less users overall. “Avoid success at all costs”.

To be fair, LLMs can be quite useful tools to fill the gaps around traditional tooling for writing and coding. But I agree with you that they will never become AGI, just by their very design.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case, depending on your definition of “code”. After all LLMs can spit out code-looking text at a rate much faster than any human. The problem comes when you actually try using this code for anything important, or worse still when you try to maintain it going forward. As such, most code in projects that actually matter will probably be either created, or at least architected and carefully guided by humans for quite some time still.

I think the meme is a cliche of “haha you are in a relationship so your partner takes up all your time and you don’t have any time for your hobbies”. Which sounds like a pretty toxic relationship tbh

I made a really cozy and usability-focused setup like 10 years ago, and since I made it with NixOS+home-manager I’m just carrying it over with me. It is going strong after three device swaps, two moves to a new country, and meeting a partner, with some minor changes (i3 -> sway, Nord theme -> custom base16-based, pulseaudio -> pipewire, etc)

Soo, they piped a probabilistic token predictor straight into a root console of a customer-facing service, and it only caused an outage twice so far? They should consider themselves lucky.

Yes, it is never complete, but you have to compensate for that. Otherwise you kinda end up with a map of openstreetmap coverage quality rather than whatever you were trying to research.

This doesn’t compensate at all for mapping coverage, which makes it really bad data.

Apps on a modern Linux system are supposed to follow this spec. Not following it is considered a bug, same as if apps used any other spec-defined filesystem directory incorrectly (e.g. imagine putting config files in /lib or something).

BTW by default neither of these other people will get notified by your comment.

I really hope “morging continvoucly” becomes a meme and is used to mock microsoft forever

It can provide you some information that looks similar to what you’d want. Whether it is correct is another question.

RAG can help to a degree but hallucinations still happen quite a bit.

It still works without proxy for my family (as of earlier today), except for calls. I don’t know if this is telegram doing some block evasion or the block hasn’t kicked in fully yet.

In any case, unless they ban like 80% of outside internet, there will still be a few obfuscated VPN servers & tor bridges working. Everyone who knows their stuff will be able to access the outside, same as in China.

They tried (and failed) before the war too. Telegram has no privacy, poor security, but they are really good at evading blocks.

USSR had a lot of issues, but was a lot better (for the working class) than what was before and what came after. The reason for red scare was to prevent the western working class from overthrowing the oligarchy.

Right now, China is surpassing western neoliberal nations by carefully mixing socialist and capitalist modes of production, guided by Marxism-Leninism with further theoretical developments.

You gotta go out and read some books dude.

What the fuck, how is this the first time I’m hearing about this… I was thinking of deleting my account (with no phone or ID tied to it), I guess I’m keeping it for now.

Does tesla actually enable “autopilot” in Turkey?

I suspect it was hacked on, and given the quality of openstreetmap in turkey this means the owner is an idiot.

Oh wait, they not only bought a tesla but also bought into lies about self-driving, of course they are an idiot.

Here is translation from HR speak to English:

“fast-paced” - requirements change multiple times during each sprint

“exciting” - your manager will be an idiot

#3 has way more ratings and way higher ones too:

I guess it could be lower because it’s a series or something, but #10 is a movie, has a higher rating, and has more ratings too:

My only other idea of what “popularity” could mean is the page view count, but then it should probably be called something other than “top 10 on IMDb” IMHO.

That last one could get him killed if the tribe knew who he is (inshallah)

Soy milk is also great for replacing dairy in baked goods. Shame that it’s not the most popular one.
