You can survive off any single food item for some non-zero amount of time. Nothing we know of can allow you to survive forever. The question is always: how long?

One of my friends got a penicillin IV at the hospital, and the machine shortened it to “PENI5”.

With no additional context, if you said that “the balls in this glass are generally blue”, I would interpret that meaning every ball falls within the range of hues that can still be called blue by most people but may be questioned by a few. So 100% of the balls have to be “I can see why someone would call that blue”.

German has always felt like one of the softer sounding languages to me.

That majority of people that are worse than AI slop are also not producing anything, so we’re not flooded with human slop. And when they do, we’re supportive because you need to practice producing bad stuff before you can start producing good stuff.

If humans produced slop at the same rate as AI, I guarantee you that everyone will be complaining about it just the same.

Yes

Of those who regularly donate (or think of donating) to FOSS projects, how many of them would’ve even had sudo cross their mind as a potential recipient for those donations?

So, did you do it?

If you have influence, you also have the responsibility to make sure your voice reaches as many people as possible. Screaming this message earlier is a good way of lowering your chances of getting access to a mic at the Grammy at a moment where most people are listening.

I think they’re referring to random mutations. There’s no evolutionary pressure to get better at any of these skills, so at a population level, we’re unlikely to see any change. But at the individual level, it’s still possible through these mutations.

Not malicious in the sense that the intent isn’t to cause harm to us regular people. If buying those properties raised our prices and didn’t help them keep their money, they wouldn’t do it. If it didn’t raise our prices and helped them keep their money, they would still do it.

But does his boss have the authority to allow it?

You could say the same about people who used the early 2000s Google by entering full questions with natural language and clicking “I’m feeling lucky”. There are always going to be wrong ways to use a tool. But we’re discussing whether there exists a right way. And that right way includes verifying the information you receive, just like you would if you found it through a regular search engine.

The social and environmental costs are real. That’s not the criticism you gave and not what the responses are disagreeing with.

Willingness to look is a pretty important factor. LLMs reduce the personal cost incurred to look up information, similar to how search engines saved us from having to go to the library for every question we had.

We already had subreddit simulator for ages. This isn’t anything new.

Cloud housing when?

Do you use this for physical machines too?

Depends on how reliable you need this system to be. For example, do you need to handle the scenario where an adult verifies their age to access a website, then lets a minor use that website in their place? That would be a much harder problem to solve than if you just need to verify that an adult was present on the other end at one point in time. For the latter, device-based age verification seems to be trivial to set up from a technical standpoint.

There are people who are fully owners and don’t do any labour, and those who subsist entirely on their labour and don’t own anything. Would it be fair to say that the middle class is anyone who works but still owns a non-zero amount of appreciating or revenue-generating assets?
