What I think it's interesting is that with the total lack of common sense the AI just goes on random tangents to achieve the target in a "monkey paw" way. Can you imagine if this happened: User: what is the shortest route fro

It was the same thing with TikTok, wasn't it? It's bad for TikTok to be controlled by a Chinese company because Americans access it. The solution is to make it US-controlled. The rest of the world? Who cares.

I don't trust anyone who is against "relevant ads," because I always think what they want isn't "irrelevant ads," they want "no ads." But no ads isn't an option.

I agree, and I don't even know math. Most of things that are impenetrable in programming aren't about... programming. They are about some actually complex field like math being applied to programming. For example, a library that d

The value of LLM's come from replacing what generated its training data. If the distilled model is cheaper, then it's just LLM's getting LLM'ed.

The difference in cost is pretty incredible.

The ease of abandonment is real. 1. Generate function with AI. 2. Generate tests with AI. 3. Modify function with AI. 4. Tests no longer pass. 5. Delete all tests. 6. Generate tests with AI.

I don't have a problem. It's YOUR problem, actually. I do have a problem, but problems are good if you think about it. No matter how many problems I fix, there is always a new problem... These problems aren't that problematic

Emoji are such a terrible idea. What it means depends entirely on what the emoji designer wants. There was an article shared here by emojipedia that showed, besides the obvious gun emoji turning into a toy gun and then back into a gun, subt

I currently have a problem with Rust that I use Rust-Analyzer for syntax and autocomplete in VS Code and it has to run the compiler when you save a file to "refresh" things. As you may imagine, this is insanely slow. So slow that

I wonder if blender works on wayland, because it has a feature that makes the mouse cursor "loop" across the window if you are dragging something.

I'm not sure I understand. If X11 software requires a X11 server and you have a Wayland compositor, how do you "avoid" XWayland?
