That’s because OpenAI is in panic mode. They’re now spending their resources on making the LLM cheaper to operate and capable of injecting paid results.

“Sounds like my friends and I can show up at your door in fake ICE outfits and make your gargle on our balls. And if you refuse, we’ll beat your ass, and you won’t do anything about it.”

Look into mutual insurance. You actually get back money for the payouts they didn’t have to do that year. Northwestern, Amica, USAA, etc.

Cache-like storage, private user-specific data, blobby or otherwise schemaless data. Stuff like that. But IMO it’s a matter of time until you find a need to operate against this data relationally, and then you regret using document storage. I’ve made this mistake twice now and do not intend to make it again. I now consider document storage architecture to be a performance optimization with significant tradeoffs, and not a choice to be made by default for nearly any scenario.

I don’t like tokens or cards. I like open play, just pay like $20 for all day access. I’m fortunate to have places like that around. The pay to play model penalizes you for being bad at or new to an arcade title or pinball machine, which mega blows and discourages people from trying out random games they might lose quickly at.

Oh i thought it was from CCCP commisar goons ordering a column of type 59s to drive over civilians in 89

I want one browser that blocks ads and works on my android phone, work Mac with IT controls over installed software, windows gaming pc, and linux server box. I also use a password manager that offers an extremely helpful chromium-only extension for desktop browsers.

So, Brave it is. No other option meets my requirements. If IT had disallowed Brave, I’d be on plain Chrome and just pihole at home for adblocking.

Well this guy really doubled down on that thought

Brendan Eich could be a huge proponent of butthole sunning and crystal healing. As long as I can turn off the butthole sunning button in his browser, I’m fine with it. And I can.

Never touched the crypto stuff, the AI search thing, whatever. Just turn them off. When I can’t do that, I’ll just use something else.

I really hate these awful “puzzles”. They only work by the asker intentionally withholding what, if any, constraints exist in the problem space leaving it totally vague, but of course there ARE secret constraints revealed if you violate them with your answer.

Me: “I do it without flipping any switches. I just ask the lightswitches which one controls the light, and they tell me.”

Interviewer: “That’s not allowed.”

Me: “Well what exactly is allowed? Can I pull the cables out of the wall and see which connects to the bulb? Oh, I bet that’s not allowed. How about I open my smart home app and just check which of the smart switches is labeled for it? Oh, I bet it’s not a smart switch so I can’t do that either? Oh, then the bulb has a chime that boops when it comes on, so I just listen for the boop. Oh that’s not allowed either? Wait wait wait, the walls are glass, so I just watch to see when the bulb comes on when I flick the switches.”

Even the canonical answer makes a dumb assumption. Ordinary LED bulbs don’t get hot.

The orgs publishing this junk are pushing the writers to use AI. So the writers and editors can’t shit talk AI because their boss will get upset.

I bet we would start to see chinese adapters showing up on the market with DisplayPort to HDMI2.1 though.

It’s $1.2M to gain majority share on the HDMI board, but it sure would be nice if someone gave $1.2M to one of the engineers with access to that cryptographic DRM keys for the binary to “apparently get hacked” and have the keys magically appear online.

“I don’t use social media, and I don’t have an email.”

That guy has the dead eyes and fake smile of MrBeast

Well my approach is:

• Mark off every candidate who did not bother to provide a statement
• Mark off every candidate with no listed volunteering experience in the little section for it
• Mark off every candidate whose statement claims they will do things their desired office is not empowered to do
• Mark off every candidate with a platform that doesn’t claim to be aiming for any kind of change or improvement in particular. (I don’t support chair warmers.)
• Mark off every candidate whose email is a personal one listed as [email protected] or something else similarly unprofessional
• Mark off any candidate aligned with the party that supported the coup attempt in 2021

After this quick pass, which only takes a couple of minutes, I’m typically only left with two or three offices with more than one remaining choice to compare. I then read their platform and pick the candidate with the platform goal that seems most relevant to my or my community’s interest.

I wish these losers would be relegated back to AM radio

If all you do is read the little statements booklet they send out, and then do the mail vote based on that, then AI is not in the loop unless the candidate is dumb enough to paste chatbot output into their statement.

Seriously people, get your friends and family off of the ragebait rectangle. Most “news” media today is just opinion wrapped with ads about content they bought from Reuters and AP.

Language choice for a solution does not have anything to do with LLM capabilities. For someone’s hobby project, maybe. Engineering departments do not work this way. Just because LLMs can write Java better than some other languages doesn’t mean the next big game engine will be in Java.

The LLM works via language. It’s…in the name. If a programming language that is more understandeable for a particular domain comes out, then LLMs will be useful for it just like humans will further appreciate it. Some languages just seriously blow for certain domains. Keep iterating. If a lnaguage is hard for people to use, it’s especially hard for an LLM to use.
