In the case of cops there's basically no way to interact with them that's both safe and makes them happy. But I just keep a printed version of my insurance for that reason.

I'm confused about what "bothered to find the proper name" means for a feature they believe they're inventing. If they believed it had a name that would mean they already know it exists.

Does this have some use case that the Perseus Digital Library doesn't already serve?

Militaries aren't unconditionally good or just. There are, to put it mildly, valid criticisms of how the products of western arms manufacturers are used by legal militaries.

That's pretty much how I use it for software too. I don't want it to make stuff for me. I do want it to unblock me when I feel stuck unraveling something arcane.

I didn't call that commenter an LLM, despite what I'd consider an embarrasing lack of mental model of what it means for a speculative fiction novel to age poorly. Who am I bigoted against?

by soiltype 2mo ago
What are you talking about? Bigotry against a program that's literally incapable of understanding semantic meaning? To say "anticlanker" sounds like you hate LLMs, or do you approve of them and you use that term disparagingly

I've often dreamed of and revisited this idea. I first started thinking of it seriously when I realized I was paying the same rent in February as in January despite a significantly shorter-than-mean (30.4375) month...! My ideal year is

Weirdly favored, if it is an LLM. Of course bad actors will be training them out of the obvious rhetorical tells, but a complete lack of semantic reasoning will fortunately always be a valid reason to ignore or dismiss someone's argume

Actually this is a very interesting comment so I do want to continue to engage. Thanks for not rising to my tone, I suppose. > So you admitted that the public purse and what it is willing to pay to commission for public art is useful mea

> those with the means to produce it don't have any great emotions. Actually, re-reading your original post, this comes across as so asinine I do have to wonder if I'm replying to an LLM. Because it makes no sense to say that a

I do not think this pseudo-intellectual desire to ape art styles of the past is really very compatible with the soul of an artist. Artists make two things: what moves them, and what they are paid to make. Ideally, these are the same thing.

Rare is relative. Those changes all happened over much longer timescales and with far fewer species involved in a given ecosystem. It's not the same thing as what we're doing. You're making essentially the same argument as

This is absurd. Without human intervention, catastrophic boundary crossing by organisms is slow and rare. With humans, it happens at unsustainable scale. We all know what it looks like for an invasive species to dominate an ecosystem and cr

Obscene is the right word because it's quite manageable in health terms, it just feels bad to you.

The point about the UI affordances strikes me as very relevant. I find that the way I want to use LLMs in coding is not available. We have chatbots in a sidebar that will just generate code for you or, more helpfully, answer your question

I misread that you were retracting "notable" and replacing it. I thought you were adding "it can't suck for any reason" to your definition.

by soiltype 5mo ago
Ok, that's an unusual definition of notable.

I mean I wasn't making any rhetorical argument. That part of the comment was just me musing.
