I thought this was commonly accepted to be the case that companies which sell access to LLMs are also storing and training on the inputs? I don't mean this as rhetoric, I did not think many people (except possibly those operating under

I organize mine into roughly three boxes by how common they are. One for every-day cables (like USB C), one for the stranger cables (like USB-B 3), and one for the one-offs (like a Nintendo DS cable). It's the easiest to actually keep

Think about it as 25% who disagree to only 11. Less than half of the people who thought corruption is not widespread still think so. Further, the US is now the #1 ranked country in corruption. I think it's more useful to think about th

Yep. First time I saw this idea was Animal Crossing: Wild Word's "rolling log" effect in 2005, albeit in reverse. (So you get a top-down view and a horizon view at the same time). Second time I saw this specific idea was a Mi

Right? It's really concerning how much traction "ZOG" seems to be getting. It's literally true that most of the US government is Zionist. But "Zionist-Occupied Government" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory us

I'm an ML developer and researcher and I left X. A lot of us did and do believe neural networks can provide utility for humanity. There's just a lot of money in drinking the AGI LLM VC WN koolaid. Not everyone has drank that koola

As others have said, this is broken in some contexts too. I also get blocked by a popup on mobile. I only get "See this post in the app" with "Use the app to view all comments and discover more posts." with only an &quot

For one of the big use cases, you can look at the NCMEC's reports-by-ESP numbers. For example, X has 816K and X AI has 135K reports. Reddit, despite having 200M (36%) more MAU, only has 65K reports. OpenAI, despite having about 8x MAU

I think we should leave this kind of argument for schoolchildren denigrating one another and for the deranged people who will dole out verbal abuse to defend their favorite platforms and/or CEOs. This is not one of "those situatio

Yep, exactly. It's just one shared pool of RAM with zero-copies necessary.

Microsoft is serious because the world is full of people with needs who do not know better and Microsoft is still the default to serve those needs. Something does not have to be useful, benign, consistent, worthwhile, or deserving to exist

I'd clock this as an AI website with no question whatsoever. Everything comes in punchy threes. I don't need to know what "早い・旨い・熱い" means in order to smell it for what it is.

I think we're talking past each other. You are largely not understanding the point I'm saying. I agree that Python, as a shell and scripting language, will have different ergonomics and tradeoffs compared to Bash. The point I am m

by lynndotpy 2mo ago
I basically agree with these tradeoffs (you should never be pulling in dependencies outside the builtins), but let's look back to GP: > Comparing the shell to C, Go, Rust, Python, or JavaScript is crazypants. It has a different job

by lynndotpy 2mo ago
Yes, someone who has no idea how to use their shell and tries to get around by making arbitrary guesses will suffer. This is true for bash as well. It's no reason to kill yourself immediately.

by lynndotpy 2mo ago
I think you are reading something into my post that isn't there. You surely do not believe I am arguing that Python is a shell language without tradeoffs. Of the languages listed in GP, only Python and JavaScript are scripting language

by lynndotpy 2mo ago
One of these are not like the other. Python is perfectly serviceable as a shell, to the extent that one could largely replace bash with the Python REPL if they wanted.

My issue with the iPad is that it just does not have the fine-fidelity or response time of real ink, and it's not something that never fails. It's so frustrating to be so pregnant with an idea, to open ones iPad, and to find out t

For me, I scrolled, clicked, but the page hijacked my screen, moved its position by force, and I was not certain which pane I was on immediately. It broke my sense of continuity. I am only being literal when I say this, but as someone who i

FWIW I haven't had bad experiences on the Godot subreddit, but I haven't tried in three years since the API change. And AI seems laughably bad at Godot for any non-trivial questions, and for those trivial questions, it's bett

I have had questions edited and closed and I have also been reticent to ask questions just from my own personal experience.

I think so too, but many people have many oppositions to AI and would prefer knowledge to be in the hands of knowledgeable community, rather than AI companies. SO was poised to be this alternative, but leadership showed they did not see val

The graph is not presenting a narrative, did you mean to reply to someone else who is presenting the "revisionist history"? In 2023, Stack Overflow had already started making unpopular pro-AI moderation decisions, and in 2024, the

Any social organization needs to carefully consider their inclusion-exclusion curve with intentionality. I think a lot of people might balk at the word "inclusivity" today, but StackExchange had ridiculously high barriers to parti
