In the UK and EU you absolutely do not have the right to be compensated for sales or deals not closed in part due to a delayed flight. Your entire point is completely at odds to reality. In the general case, contracts do not guarantee there

I broadly agree. Plain text formats remain consistently accessible and flexible. That said, arguably the dominant AI artifacts are binary images, video, audio. The "preview panes for other kinds of tasks" will be a big deal. Human

I'd argue the spirit of entrepreneurialism and salesmanship in the story is more American! I've just been through this process. Very painful. SF based company, US founder. Same founder story - couldn't focus on customers, cou

Did you read it? The argument boils down to: this is exactly the same as other times. And provides multiple examples.

"Teach yourself to not judge people for being human." "Be a more charitable, generous, understanding person." Anyone making such blatantly judgemental and egotistical comments to a complete stranger has absolutely no ide

This makes the remarkable claim that the ontology document is correct no matter what the actual data says! And I suspect legal would have something to say about the ontology defining what a contract is. It badly needs grounding in some real

That's your reaction to a page about photography that has photos of a model, and the photos DON'T feature her breasts? I mean sure, she has them. Many women do!

what's with the weird obsession all over the thread that it is the JUDGE who is the only person at fault here?

That’s a profoundly incorrect misunderstanding of the Citizens United decision, which was to remove restrictions on political spending by corporations. In other words, by your distinction, the decision was about stacks of cash, not movies.

Maybe its obvious but I can't tell it this is an image editor, a React builder, an HTML/CSS designer, ...? What does it make?

Your tone is disagreement, but it's not clear why? There is an individual who you trust to do good work, and who works well with you. They're not anonymous. Addressing the topic of this thread, you know (or should know) that it i

This is one of those articles that is too obsessed with amusing itself with its own pretentiousness to communicate anything interesting - which is ironic given the author seems thinks they prefer communications to entertainment.

You’re comparing being the founder and CEO, to being an employee hired to run a fraction of an organisation?

"They do not know the meaning of what they generate but the output is important to us." Isn't that a good definition of what bullshit is?

You seem to be talking about a production-grade model rather than building an LLM as an exercise? Or if not, why do you disagree with the article's example of building a small LLM for $100?

How is knowing the commutative properties of operations more significant than being able to do basic arithmetic? I'd imagine millions if not billions of people have found basic math useful without ever learning what "commutative&q

I pay for a lot of software eg I used Screen Studio a couple of times, liked it, dropped a couple hundred bucks for it. Good work from a solo dev. Datastar have basic functionality in the pro license. Basic UX capabilities like animation a

Copy-to-clipboard is a support heavy feature? Do you really think Datastar is of such ridiculously bad quality that even simple features require a lot of support to get working?

A todo list is a unique thing, it’s about remembering to do all the things you said you’d do. There’s no implied consistency from one todo list to another. A checklist is used repeatedly, and it’s about completing a task (or set of tasks) t

Pointing out that LLMs are deterministic as long as you lock down everything, is like saying an extra bouncy ball doesn’t bounce if you leave it on flat surface, reduce the temperature to absolute zero, and make sure the surface and the bal

From my perspective, your argument is: - AI gives me huge, mediocre prints of my own shitty pictures to fill up my house with - AI means I don’t have to talk to other people - AI means I can learn things online that previously I could have

I think the GP is suggesting a simple explanation of why it went badly, since that is the subject of the thread, rather than an explanation of why Musk bought Twitter. No need for conspiratorial accusations of conveniently omitting anything

I recognise the poster as someone actively working in the field. That’s exactly why it’s interesting that Simon is saying he hasn’t seen the benefits of fine tuning and would like a demo of it working. Drawing an analogy to the scientific m

That’s a good example for showing how “UI” and “UX” are essentially the same thing. At least in a practical context. We can call an excellent story teller a “writer”. A good story can be described as “good writing”. A great story, let’s say

“Pretending anything else is AGI is nonsense” Is it? I wasn’t aware of “playing a physical instrument on stage with millisecond response times” as a criterion. I’m also confused by the implication that professional composers aren’t using in

You might want to do a bit of research there before commenting further. France built an independent system, the UK did not.

For sure - actions before words and all that. I think the context is different if you’ve shown you care twice a day for a year before screwing up. Most people interpret messages in light of their experience of you. If you don’t have that tr

The thread is about bad things because of tax policy, your post is about a good thing because of health policy - but you don’t say it’s a good thing, or that it’s about heath not taxes. The post pointing this out has different content to y

Sounds like you have had purpose for your entire adult life? What am I missing when you say "there is no real purpose"? Does the word "purpose" have some great significance that you feel a life lived well does not delive
