I think that’s polarising because using a weird incorrectly does not change its meaning; it’s far more subtle than that

Don’t use DVDs or other disc media

But still, why would someone swat over something like this? Seems insane

I can’t believe that these are the best two people that the US can produce right now.

Thanks Donald, good luck in November

They absolutely do, and I have no idea why you’re so angry

The problem is not the LLMs, but what people are trying to do with them.

They are currently spoons, but people are desperately wishing they were katanas.

They work really well for soup, but they can’t cut steak. But they’re being hyped as super ninja steak knives, and people are getting pissed when they can’t cut steak.

If you give them watery, soupy tasks they can do successfully, they can lighten your workload, as long as you’re aware of what they are and aren’t good at.

What people want LLMs to be able to do, ie. “Steak” tasks:

• write complex documents

• apply complex knowledge/rules to a situation

• Write complex code and create entire programs based on vague description

What LLMs can currently do ie. “Soup” tasks:

• check this document and fix all spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors

• summarise this paragraph as dot points

• write a python program that sorts my photographs into folders based on the year they were taken

Half of Lemmy is hyping katanas, the other half is yelling “Why won’t my spoon cut this steak?!! AI is so dumb!!!”

Update: wow, the pure vitriol pouring out of the replies is just stunning. Seems there are a lot of you out there who have, in one way or another, tied your ego very strongly to either the success or failure of AI.

Take a step back, friends, and go outside for a while.

As far as we know. Could be mitm servers

I feel like the official mascot of vim should be a mime trapped in an imaginary box lol

Was curious about the increased customisation so I went dual boot around the time of windows 7.

Went full time Linux when windows 8 came out. Windows has only continued its enshitification since then, so it really paid off.

Every machine I’m currently running would run like dog shit with windows, but runs like brand new with Linux Mint.

2 years is nothing to a Linux user lol

They want to know if you type in 8008135

As a teacher I can say that in every class- adults or teenagers- there will be 5-10% who will love you no matter what, 5-10% who will dislike you no matter what, and everyone else will be in between.

You have to learn not to take it personally because it isn’t; you’re just the body in the room when they happen to be feeling shitty about their day, their life, their job etc.

Also remember that some people will just tick 10/10 in every category because they can’t be bothered to do it properly, so don’t let that go to your head either.

What you need to do is reduce it to pure numbers. Weight loss, for example, is not about how you feel or even how you look; only the scales will tell you the complete and accurate results without bias.

What you can measure, you can manage. Look at average scores over time across multiple categories. Is there a trend? If it’s negative, then write up a plan to fix it. If it’s positive, write up how you achieved it. Then show it to your boss and get a raise.

At the end of the day the shitty commenters want you to think about them. I usually just laugh; there’s always one in every group.

You’re not James Bond. Or a 1337 haxx0r. This technology isn’t even new. Why are you stanning this guy? It’s an assinine position to take.

Great, now hackers and spies can detect my typing instead of using RATs or Trojans or packet sniffers, or just beating me with a $5 wrench (XKCD)

Also:

The trick, which takes advantage of the subtle acoustics created by tapping different keys on a computer, works even without a view of the computer’s keyboard, so long as the hacker has a line-of-sight view of any relatively reflective portion of the target laptop.

So… Closing the curtains is all it takes to defeat this amazing technological method. GG.

French? Or eastern Europe?

I’m Aussie so I feel like the proper way to say zsh is as you described, but it just feels cumbersome, so I say “zoosh”

Good for you, GayHitler, good for you

Spanish or Portugese? Catalan?
