The singularity is always just around the corner. It's like a whale in a casino. The big reward is always just around the corner. You need to drop a few more coins and soon you will be rich

You know this future isn't happening anytime soon. Certainly not in the next 100 years. Until then, humans will be taking care of it and no one will want to work at a place working on some Fransketeinian codebase made via an LLM. And e

What's the legality of this? My understanding is that if a site does not offer a public API is because they don't want to (think of WhatsApp). Building a company on that seems extremely risky

I thought HIIT/Tabata was more about intensity so you COMPRESS a whole session in less time. This article is telling you that if you EXPAND the session to allow for pauses, you can get more out of it without increasing the intensity.

"the moment things get difficult" What does that mean? The company on freefall? The company reversing WFH policies that are in your contract? You have generalised a huge number of situations into one phrase and implied that employ

If your cat could do most of the below: - use arbitrary links between signifier and signified - generate new linguistic tokens (new signifier and signifieds as well as links between them) - refer to events and times beyond the current ones

Laymen think of language the same way they do about theory and then try to apply that to an academic context. Different meaning. A system of communication is not necessarily a language even if all languages are systems of communication. If

Is there a grammar? ie. a set of rules to form valid sentences in the language Is there linguistic creativity? ie. you can generate new words to describe things never encountered Is there metalinguistic reflexion? ie. can you use the langua

> There's no consensus on the definition of what language is. That's according to you. Just because a few apples disagree doesn't mean there is no consensus.

Engineering has humans in it. Same as politics. All with human brains using the same architecture full of biases. It's not very surprising to be honest

Your usage of "language" here is akin to laymen usage of "hypothesis" and "theory" and then trying to apply it in an academic context. Same sequence of letters but different meaning. In linguistics, "langu

Exactly. Level x (whatever scalar thing the user meant by that) doesn't quite work out for the reason you outlined. X Level Players have different tactics and someone that can use all of them will likely be better than most if not all

How would you even go about making a model that can simulate a human chess skillset (saying levels implies that chess skillset is a scalar value while it is more reasonable to think of it as a tree of skills where your abilities might be hi

You seem to be missing my point. There is no argument about one group finding about each other or about the fatal effect of bringing new diseases into the continent. My point was that your use of "bringing together" in the context

1. User said "bringing together" which has different connotations to "connect". One is positive (and culturally insensitive) and the second one is neutral (and more correct). If you want to be descriptive, be neutral at

I considered ironic that the user used a positive expression "humanity coming together" for what was one of the most destructive invasions in human history. I suggest you ask any native to America what they think about that term?

I understand that it is a more precise term but my point is why does that additional precision matters in this particular context? All that is relevant is that a big external force came to unify a bunch of tribes. Christian seems good enoug

But why does it matter in a general context? It's like me referring to a group of people by the colour of their shoes or the material of the coats that they wear. It seems oddly segregational. "Probably some kind protestant"

Surely you can just say something like apostolic Christians or something but I find it odd that for individuals whose core belief is a figure called Christ that they wouldn't use the original term "Christian" to refer to them

Am I right thinking that a self-hosted llama wouldn't have the kind restrictions ChatGPT has since it has no initial system prompt?
