For the purposes of the article, which is to demonstrate how developing an LLM is completely different from developing traditional software, I'd say they are true enough. It's a CS 101 understanding of the software development lif

I don't think he's doing that at all. The article is pointing out to non-technical people how AI is different than traditional software. I'm not sure how you think it's giving AI a break, as it's pointing out that

You should read the footnote marked [1] after "a note for technical folk" at the beginning of the article. He is very consciously making sweeping generalizations about how software works in order to make things intelligible to no

Not OP, but a while back I ran weekly for months outside with no issues. It got hot, I ran two miles inside on a treadmill and got the first shin splints in my life. I hear from other runners that treadmills can hurt your form because you

I recently switched to Nobara Linux (a gaming focused Fedora spin) and it has run every Steam game I've thrown at it outside of Street Fighter 6 (which runs, but at low settings and multiplayer is spotty). Proton has done wonders for
