Strong disagree. One of my favorite use cases for LLM chatbots is to satisfy random niche curiosities whenever they cross my mind and get pointers for further reading. This often l…

That would be as close to a declaration of war as you can get without firing a bullet. The immediate and obvious response would be for the foreign branches of those companies to be…

> * Everyone over estimates their driving ability vs the average Exactly. If there's an issue, I'd much rather delegate control to the pilots or train drivers who have been trained…

I'll take a trip by train or plane rather than by car every single time. I feel WAY more safe knowing that the vehicle is operated by trained professionals and there's an extremely…

Just curious, do you have dual citizenship? If not, what's exactly your plan to acquire a legal resident status quickly, and where?

So you don't do anything because you have a job you need to keep and a kid to take care of, but you're perfectly okay with moving to a completely different country on short notice?…

I'd say a couple of reasons: - The American political system has been very successful in telling its people that the only acceptable way to show discontent and enact change is by v…

How do you measure whether some output corresponds to 8 hours of work, and not 4 or 16 hours?

Isn't that what the author means? "it still requires genuine expertise to spot the hallucinations" "works very well if you do know what you are doing"

Even assuming that's the case, everyone's acting like throwing more GPUs at the problem is somehow gonna get them to AGI

"Wrong" is a concept that clearly applies when something is objectively wrong. I asked ChatGPT for help with Wordle the other day, by asking for a 5-letter word that contained P, M…

I think there are a couple of factors that disprove these theories: - The specific mention of "cut off" in the CVR is very telling. If both pilots were genuinely surprised, you'd e…

Yet Occam's razor still applies

Respectfully, media reports on what the investigation is focusing on should be taken with a grain of salt unless said media is known to be reputable and have credible sources. If t…

I keep reading "muscle memory" but the theory that one pilot shut down the engines instead of performing another action has nothing to do with muscle memory. Muscle memory allows y…

It's also a very US-centric thing to think that the US is the only country with significant differences between its internal subdivisions.

The countries with strong social-democratic parties are not the ones you think they are.

Actually I've never understood the "free-as-in-beer" thing. Where is beer free?

I agree it's more likely to be used by older generations but it's not uncommon to hear it around either, especially when addressing or refering to elders

Spanish has actually three levels of formality when addressing someone by name: : Informal, casual conversation. Don : More formal, conveys respect while still indicating some clos…

In the weird edge cases you can simply err on the side of politeness and use the formal version. Worst case scenario they'll simply tell you to drop it and use tu instead.

Would you say that analogies are like a sink where meaning and intentionality is lost?
