> They're talking about the result, one must think. Maybe they are, but in that case it's a frequent source of equivocation because people will conflate the process of their making…

I've seen people here insist that LLMs enable everyone to make music or art. It's diametrically opposed from my own view that making something is the process of making something, n…

> That's both more honest In what way is it more honest?

> Now every person can make satisfying music. Thanks to taxis, everyone can drive.

> the only winning move is not to play Presumably no one is forcing the maintainer at gunpoint to have an LLM slightly shake up other people's code, relicense it under an incompati…

He doesn't seem to care whether its paid for or gratis. My understanding is that he's against using non-free software because it limits the ways in which you can use it, by the def…

Seems like less of a problem in smaller models where bullshit tends to become very obvious to anyone with half a clue about the given subject than it is in larger models where the …

Problems where verification of the proposed solution has a high cost or high risk.

The demo page doesn't work as described in Firefox when I open my bookmarks or history sidebar. It displays a correction offset, but Firefox valiantly defeats this evil hack and ma…

Perhaps they weren't basing their statement on the "quoted fact" which was later posted in response to their statement (which FWIW isn't factual; as someone else points out this wa…

Yeah, I confused you for another user. Still, I don't get where "virtuous environmental brownie-points" enter the discussion or how the first reply pertains to them. It seems like …

Since when is "assigning virtuous environmental brownie-points" the topic of discussion? Your original claim which GP responded to is unrelated to that.

I think its peculiar in that it's so limited, repetitive and undiscerning in its stylistic expression. The stylistic elements on their own wouldn't raise an eyebrow if they appeare…

If you have a slight interest in originality of presentation, whatever website copy first comes out of Claude is not there yet. Its preoccupation with "no x, no y" and annoying run…

I use stock OpenBSD with nothing else for a web server. Very easy to maintain and configure, very good manuals and very good vulnerability track record. OpenBSD 7.9 was released 1-…

You can't tell from this graph alone the extent to which the change in share during weekends is due to decreased use of the more popular operating systems or due to increased use o…

If you then also define defecating as "incrementally refining output vectors to converge at the correct output" it could be argued that they are defecating.

Planes fly. They're up in the air passing through it. It's not an analogy; that's what flying is. Long before planes, balloons and helicopters, objects other than birds, bats and i…

This program will always give a non-zero return code. This is unconventional if not straight up wrong, if the goal is for main to indicate whether it was successful in printing.

What's the point of showing an example if it's incorrect? If someone asks "how do I get some frigging text to show up on the terminal" and the answer is incorrect, it's bad advice …

The typical Hello World implementation tends to reveal very little about the language, because their print/println/printf/whatever implementations have failure modes that are eithe…

Using e.g. a single zettabit-sized look-up table to give the 64-bit result of a multiplication of two 32-bit numbers suffers from a similar problem. But if we're talking about prac…

Their job probably isn't to invent weird, stupid ways to account for button bounce, either.

Regardless, if the problem is an input that normally registers the state of a button except for noise for some time as it bounces when it transitions, 48 of those reads, the averag…

Writing the compiler and standard library in Zig is probably the greatest dog fooding opportunity for the Zig maintainers. In doing so they get to feel the weight of every change t…
