Don’t all non-European people look alike?

I remember when people claimed to use NixOs in order to have a deterministic, repeatable setup.

Your understanding of not-containers is incorrect. In non-containerized applications, the data & state live outside the application, store in files, database, cache, s3, etc. In fact, this is the only way containers can decouple program

I’ve never seen nix, but I’d rather learn “yet another language” than fight yet another yaml syntax.

I think Instagram has pink headings and Facebook has blue. So they’re practically different companies.

Also, Instaface doesn’t need developers. Their product was completed at least a dozen years ago. And it was created by a team of a dozen or so engineers.

Sounds like the guy that invented bicycle helmets. He didn’t want Nazis to feel safe letting their kids ride bikes to school either.

And we wouldn’t have a use case for Ai without StackOverflow & Google’s broken search.

We already have POST, PUT, and PATCH that do the exact same thing. Why not have another version of GET that looks the same as POST and is subject to personal interpretation. FYI: QUERY is for GET requests where the query string make the URL

Left to their own devices, the LLMs would probably design a pocket watch.

Can you explain why we pay Sam Altman & Elon Musk? Or Jeff Bezos & Bill Gates? They’re just middlemen collecting money for other people’s labor.

The reality is that every middle aged loser knows more than they ever wanted about kpop, labubu, and furries just goes to show it’s all a centralized homogenized monoculture being forced on everyone.

Do they have real beans in them?

by fijiaarone 10mo ago
When a trend only reaches mainstream awareness as a mockery, like labubu, it’s not destined to last long.

On most cloud deployments, you get one shared “virtual” core — whatever that means.

Ah, but if you use node.js you get breaking changes every other day from dependencies on dependencies you didn’t even know you had.

So is the FORTRAN75 compiler, but it’s still being used.

A manager’s job isn’t to guide the company, it’s to make sure his team does the tasks they are assigned. Likewise, a worker’s job isn’t to “think about the big picture” and come up with a strategy for the organization. So who is supposed to

The American billionaire class absolutely controls Europe, and American politics dictates European policy. There is the illusion of European ascendance right now because the American soft power is being channeled through Europe because the

Less than 0.0001% of economic output in the USA is performed by penal labor, mostly by non-incarcerated people (e.g. court mandated community service such as road cleanup as penalty for traffic violations).

The average age of the population of Europe has gotten significantly lower over the last decade.

You could definitely load your billions of records with millions of relationships into memory, denormalize, restructure and rewrite the data (flawlessly) a lot cheaper (computationally) than running a large LLM on all that hardware.
25.
by fijiaarone 11mo ago
Instead of trying to get LLMs from zero to 100, which is impossible to do, you should concentrate on getting them from 75% to 95%. The idea that someone who has no knowledge of the domain and no understanding of relational data modeling can

We should also enforce a standard where every website has to change their content to match the user’s preferred idiomatic diss, whether it be “yo momma”, “deez nuts”, “six seven”, or a series of hottentot tongue clicks recorded in Ogg Vorbi

Is this like SETI@home, Bitcoin, and Ai code generation? In the old days we used to just chop wood, and burn it to keep warm. Then sit down and watch the sportsball game on TV to waste time.

640k ought to be enough for anyone.

The increasing incompetence and rapid decline into an illiterate, superstitious, tribalistic dark age almost makes me believe that we could have actually have been capable of going to the moon a few generations ago.

Have you ever tried to balance a string on its end? It gets harder, the longer the string is. There aren’t any other physics than that.
