Better yet, teach AI to write code replacing specific optimized AI networks. Then automatically profile and optimize and unit test!

It’s like that “Joey Repeat After Me” meme from friends haha

Not really. When you program you break down the problem into many smaller sub programs and then codify them. There are errors that need debugging. But never “how does this part of the program I wrote work?”. Reading code from someone else is less fun than writing, but you can still understand it.

There are some cases like detergents, apparently until recently we didn’t know exactly how it works. But human engineered tools are not comparable to this.

I mean it implies that they CAN start with the conclusion or the “thought” and then generate the text to verbalize that.

It’s shocking to what length humans will go to explain how their wetware neural network is fundamentally different and it’s impossible for LLMs to think or reason in any way. Honestly LLMs teach us more about human intelligence (or the lack thereof) than machine intelligence. Like obi wan said, “The ability to speak does not make one intelligent” haha.

But how is this different from your average redditor?

You know they don’t think - even though “It’s a peculiar truth that we don’t understand how large language models (LLMs) actually work.”?

It’s truly shocking to read this from a mess of connected neurons and synapses like yourself. You’re simply doing fancy word prediction of the next word /s

You need peace / security, a modicum of prosperity, and education / information from independent news. There are no shortcuts.

Basically both Israel and Palestine are fucked because of decades of neglect and neoliberal and racist policies.

Just a silly joke of course. Gallows humor. In order to combat climate change you’d have to re-design how we live and work and our economic system and reset existing wealth inequalities, re-design and rebuild thousands of industrial processes, and change multiple systems that are in place. For example you’d at least have to:

1. Ban advertising to reduce desire/demand for consumption
2. Ban patents (at least in the current form) so industrial processes can be re-designed and rebuild without roadblocks
3. Nationalize news and social media and turn them into a cooperative under the control of the workers there
4. Invest into R&D for circular economy and development and regulation for long lasting appliances and goods that last decades with repair and maintenance

Basically what we learned is that it’s practically impossible for humanity as a global civilization to stop climate change. Most people can’t even bear to think about the steps it would take.

Of course, developing the technology for a sustainable circular economy for the basic needs (food, energy, education, building shelters, communication etc) is still worthwhile.

Nah you’d have a chimney. The main reason I want a “separating drying toilet” is that it would have a fan and wouldn’t smell at all in your bathroom. And you’d probably also have a separating toilet as first step, then dehydration which can be closed cycle, and then either burning or compositing. And with that and biodegradable soap and detergents, sanitation becomes much less infrastructure intensive.

Ironically crashing the economy is one of the best things you can do to slow down climate change

Basically amps is capped at 5 ampere, so it’s watts / 5. So for 20V you need 100 watt. USB Power Delivery specification revision 2.0 does up to 240W with 48V which is pretty awesome.

I’d love a 20V battery for power tools that just has a USB3 plug instead of special chargers.

The only thing smart I want is a faucet that activates with button OR the knee / foot sensor, and gives water always with a precise programmed temperature and flow.

That and a temperature and timer controlled frying pan.

Well an incinerating toilet that just dries burns my shit using a 340W solar panel would be cool too.

Haha I imagine they need at least unique ip addresses to count. Now I wonder if for clicks to count you need to properly click through and load the target website with the same “browser fingerprint”.

Interesting, was wondering about this. This would also “help” the websites with more ad income right?

Any spices or sauces?

The USA was a rogue terrorist state already for decades in it’s meaning for foreign policy and illegal wars. They did a worse thing than Russia did with Ukraine when they invaded Iraq and Afghanistan with flimsy excuses, except it was not a country on their doorstep but on the other side of the world.

Nobody is “aware” of this. People continue talking about US doing this or helping that as if they were not a rogue state.

So far Trump hasn’t done anything irreversible “rogue state” in regards to international relations. He constantly sprays shit everywhere to get people to loose their minds. Yeah he’s threatening to invade any nation where they could plunder, but he’s only saying the quite part out loud. The US has been doing that for decades.

I also don’t believe (hope) that Trump actually will start a war. It’s not his stage. It’s a long complicated affair where he isn’t in the spotlight and doesn’t get to shine and control the narrative with chaos and then hop onto the next thing the next week. He might bomb this or that as long as it’s quick to do, but he only wants to appear as the big man. Obviously this is just speculation.

If you mean “failed state” or no longer a democracy, I don’t think people think that already. They assume they can vote again for another obama / biden type in 4 years.

This isn’t really new though, it’s just saying the quite part out loud. always-has-been.gif.

Neoliberalism is the cause of the decay and paved the way for fascism. If you let large conglomerates own everything including news media and social media and then sell access to spew vile hate speech and disinformation to people, the current result is to be expected. It’s actually kind of refreshing that they actually come out and say it.

These people also don’t believe in equality, they believe inequality of humans is fundamentally morally correct. Neoliberals believe in inequality based on class/wealth, fascists believe in inequality based on identity like race or gender.

The true sin is ignorance and neglect.

Seriously? With everything going on this is what people want to rage about? How disconnected do you have to be?

This was shit graphics even back in 1996 because it only uses primary or fully saturated colors. It’s “dev art”, made by someone with no artistic talent. Or maybe made for 4 year old kids. I missed out on a lot of games with good gameplay because I just can’t stand on this abomination of a color palette.

The worst thing? When games actually went with a more pastel or naturalistic color palette, moronic games journalists would say the colors look “drab” or some shit.

You’re basically arguing that a system shouldn’t support user friendly things because that would add significant burden to the programmer.

The quintessential linux philosophy. Well done! I mean, what is language? Why have named code variables? This is just a random array of bytes!
