    Guys let’s not pretend that him being taller and more stereotypically handsome would’ve hurt his “achievements”. It would’ve of course helped. The fact that height and stereotypica…

    Athletes and celebrities are famous people who have a lot of eyes on them and thus naturally get more attention.

    In my country there is a saying: height is half of beauty. A tall person moving around a social setting naturally attracts more eyes, gets more noticed, attracts more attention. Sh…

    Exactly. The issue is them being automatically in favor, that’s a really extreme measure I as an eu citizen did not know about, even though I’d say I’m probably more informed then …

    Exactly. That’s the only real core issue. Wild AI usage is just a consequence. Developers who have a nice job and career, and are making good money, might think of doing open sourc…

    You can’t understand the difference between functional and non-functional.

    What knowledge or skills do you have to be hating on the certification process for airplanes? It’s just getting ridiculous at this point. There are plenty of industries regulated a…

    There would be real risks yeah. This is not something to joke about, its real.

    Let’s be real, as an EU citizen I have zero doubts that those models would also have been blocked if developed in EU. I like the US approach better: regulate when the need for it a…

    No it would obviously lose its purpose then.

    Code duplication differs from single source of truth applied to data in the sense that data is data but two pieces of code may functionally be the same (they do the same thing) but…

    Exactly. People have just been told that there are some grifters in the field and they're unable to make the mental effort to not lump the entire field together. Oh and the fact th…

    I'm sorry to tell you this, but he hasn't been part of this administration for a while. And also i'm not quite sure you have his views on NASA funding (one of his main customers) r…

    Science, or more specific to what we're talking about, public research which happens mostly in universities, has turned political long before this administration. That's the simple…

    As an Italian, I feel the exact same. This guy just doesn't know how to seriously talk about imperialism, globalization and over-tourism from a geopolitical and economic prospectiv…

    Not at all. Getting really pedantic, tokenization is also a form of encoding, so it doesn't matter the modality you're using, you'll end up doing some type of encoding in some way.…

    It is pretty good yeah. I usually ask what traditional recipes (with some time/difficulty limits depending on time availability) might fit with the ingredients i have and let it su…

    If you freely follow a recipe telling you to put glue on your food, I also don't trust you cooking anything and I definitively don't trust you coming up with your own recipes.

    Comment #48382620

    Yes. There isn't a robot straight up putting glue on my pizza. I will be following the recipe myself and since i trust myself to accurately detect that glue shouldn't belong on foo…

    "in no way will an LLM be able to do any of it unguided in two years" IDK "not any of it" seems a bit strong, especially thinking towards 2028. For a lot of knowledge professions, …

    It does also just depend at what scale you operate at. If you're already at a huge scale there isn't really a significant scale advantage by outsourcing to somebody who doesn't jus…

    Well... $1 a day is not that far from that hypothetical $50 a month though. Especially if it gives you access to significantly more powerful models (which it does). EDIT: i still f…

    You can also tell the LLM exactly what you have in the fridge or what allergies you have and get customized recipes. It’s just a better experience, 2026 is rough for a recipe site.…

    Somebody has to figure out some sort of css media queries for OLED and similar screens, you can’t really optimize for both and I approve that going too dark doesn’t look good on st…

    Not at all, the US is still the world leader in research institutions. And I say this as an European, we’re miles behind really. You have to make a lot more fuck ups for us to catc…
