It sure is useful at making my boss post a lot of conflicting things because AI can’t understand context at all. “Force multiplier” doesn’t mean it’s multiplying good things. It can just as easily multiply nonsense.

The physicist’s answer would be correct anywhere, no matter the temperature or density of the fluid.

Not really. The output of LLMs is massively increased global warming, increased prices of goods and services, decreased number of jobs, increased numbers of bugs in software, massive increase in wealth migration from poor to the rich, and increased surveillance. None of that has to do with the quality of the users. Just using it at all results in all of those things.

It’s actually probably one of the least affected sports on the whole entire planet lol. Cycling…the thing that releases no CO2, can be done on dirt, can be done literally anywhere on the planet besides water (the locals in the DRC bike through the jungle). When literally every single part of society falls to pieces there will still be bicycles. What a wild title.

This is like saying “the physicist’s answer would have errors because they measured the ball and then stuck it in an oven. The volume of the ball in the oven is different than what they measured.”

I’m very confused what the nightmare is here.

Is it really that different between neighboring countries? I’ve seen job listings for 170 in the Netherlands and Switzerland.

I’ve read the article too and it also just seems badly designed. Their “storage costs” are most likely due to short s3 file lifetimes and so they’re literally just getting killed on storage for no reason. If they rented VPS space across the planet and just used normal hard drives their costs would likely drop instantaneously.

That would only work if you close your browser.

And no law on the planet requires a notification for those kinds of cookies.

I ran mine on a pi for years. When I upgraded I was very upset I hadn’t done it sooner. Everything responded instantly.

I’m not who you are talking to originally, but as lot of that is just kinda nonsense. They say they can’t have their own servers in DCs around the world cause it would cost too much…. But it wouldn’t, that’s just incorrect. They’re clearly spending 1.3 million on s3 data and the short file lifetime is killing them. If they just bought drive capacity and hosted on VPSes around the world they’d likely have a much much smaller bill. Yeah it sounds scary, but they’re already doing scary stuff.

they're using it wrong. They're going upwards with it when bloodline is a line of descent. So your parents are not in your bloodline, but of course that's not what we were talking about since they directly said "Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood." Since they're including grandparents to infinity, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline. You can read my comment for more..

"all the members of a family group of people or animals over a period of time, especially when considering their shared family characteristics: " - cambridge

"(usually of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain." (what you're talking about, but you're reading it the wrong direction) or " all the members of a family group over generations, esp regarding characteristics common to that group; pedigree" - dictionary.com

"A person's bloodline is their ancestors over many generations, and the characteristics they are believed to have inherited from these ancestors. You can also use bloodline to refer to the ancestors of animals such as racehorses." - Collins

"1. (usu. of animals) the line of descent; pedigree; strain." "2. ancestry; family." - Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary

"One's ancestors or their character or one's ancestral derivation:" - The American Heritage® Roget's Thesaurus

"the descendants of one individual; "his entire lineage has been warriors"" - WordNet 3.0

The problem here comes from the fact that you are reading your definition and going upwards, rather than starting at the top and going downwards. Line of descent goes downwards. It's literally in the definition you gave. So even your parents aren't in your line of descent, because that's going up. But if you are talking about a bloodline from your grandparents then yes, you and your uncle are in that bloodline. cause that's what line of descent is.

so no.. "Bloodline is the blood in you, mother and father, and their mothers and fathers, all the way back. Unc ain’t in your blood." is incorrect. If you are counting mother and father and their mothers and fathers all the way back then yes, your uncles and aunts are in that bloodline.

Theme can use local storage, instead of cookies.

Probably not at the same time, but stores are adding cameras everywhere. Target has tracked customers using phone signals for over a decade now. I can’t imagine the legal minefield this will be but I’m just saying those are possibilities.

Anyone talking about AI in any context in a normal forum nowadays is discussing LLMs. Nobody cared about machine learning or neural nets that were actually being used for their designed purpose.

spin.atomicobject.com/search-imessage-sql/ This article is from years later. Seems like it got harder, but it’s still dead simple. Just give permission and then open the file.

Playing a DS at the club is one hell of a vibe.

While this is a wild thing to find out, this photo doesn’t look at all this decade, and also it looks like she’s playing it, not using the camera.

lol what. 1Password literally has one of the best security records out there. They’re the ones actually inventing new more secure ways of doing things. The fact that those are all of the issues over the years and they’re one of the most popular pw managers on the planet is pretty indicative of how strong their security actually is. And they’ve never had a password breach, unlike lastpass.

You completely misunderstand the first sale doctrine. The doctrine is that copyrighted works are only controllable on the first sale. The copyright holder can’t do anything past that. The entirety of sales of things for all of humanity wouldn’t function if it was any other way. You aren’t licensing anything. You are buying an item.

Where is the data from?

Seems to me like everything is instead becoming even more bloated with AI stuff. A Google chat tab uses 2 GIGABYTES on my work computer.

They’re definitely not. Hard drives use a fraction of the energy a single LLM prompt does. A study calculated that every 100 words uses an entire water bottle’s worth of water. That’s a lot of cooling for 100 words. It’s very likely that these companies use several gpus for every single prompt, meaning huge servers for just a few users. Meanwhile the internet archive has archived a significant portion of the internet with nary a data center in sight. You can compress video. You can’t compress the energy needed to generate output.

Mayo. Not for the mayo itself, but because to make any aioli you must start with mayo. And aioli is fucking amazing for so many things. If you ever had a next level meal at a restaurant it was probably because of an aioli.

I think it really says something when the only things mentioned are the ability to make more things faster. Like, the only benefit you’re listing is that you can work faster. When has that ever been a thing that society needs? And it comes at extreme costs. Like across the board bad costs. So the trade offs are Pros: can produce code faster Cons: everything under the sun…

and also the calculator is actively destroying the planet.

Ha incredible find! She was literally playing Mario Kart 🤣 imgur.com/a/mario-kart-clubs-1Msvqdg

They literally use them as base models for compression.

It does not show that for me.

I mean, Crunchwrap is an amazing name. But I also think he kinda looks like the knights who say nii from Monty Python. So maybe something around that.

Have you tried using a different download server?

No it isn’t. Those models are trained on the big models. They will not get better if the big providers go under. Sure, they’ll keep running, but half of the reason people are buying into all this AI nonsense is that it’s going to be much much better than it already is in the future.

I’m also interested. I use wasabi, for a good number of terabytes. Reducing the costs at all would be great.

Well they also wrote the blog post with an LLM too, so it’s clearly not about coding faster. That’s just their excuse.

Unless you have a TV from the 2010s in which case fuck you.

Costco put out Christmas stuff near us. These companies are literally completely destroying the meaning of the holidays.

Using boiling water is still fine, the measurement will work, your comment literally only is a problem if they don’t measure in time. So yes, it’s exactly like sticking it in an oven and not measuring at the same time

In what world is a production codebase 75k lines. A single project at my last company was 1.4 million lines of code. Every single one of our microservices had more lines of code than that. And just my team was responsible for 50+ microservices. And thirteen tokens per line is hilariously low. Holding a week of chat in your head is nothing when 90% of it is stuff that is incorrect or discussed and minds changed. This is exactly why my boss keeps saying conflicting things, the LLM doesn’t know what is true or not. It just regurgitates the random thing from context.

Just an FYI for anyone that didn’t know, your iMessages on your computer are literally just stored in a SQLite db. They’re very very easy to read without the app.

What on earth am I doing what for?

Me? I wrote an app to read my iMessage database to pull two factor codes out and type them in automatically cause I was lazy.

The first-sale doctrine (also sometimes referred to as the “right of first sale” or the “first sale rule”) is a legal concept that limits the rights of an intellectual property owner to control resale of products embodying its intellectual property. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine The first sale doctrine literally has NOTHING TO DO with ownership. It has to do with resale restrictions of the copyright holder. You have completely misunderstood the law and its purpose.

lol real life barely anything is sharp. Even stuff made by humans you usually want to chamfer or bevel. Sharp shit hurts.

Like mayonnaise, aioli is an emulsion or suspension of small globules of oil and oil-soluble compounds in water and water-soluble compounds. Many older recipes do not include egg, but nowadays, egg or egg yolk is the usual emulsifier Purists insist that true aioli must contain garlic and no other seasoning (except salt).[12] Kinda like claiming pizza doesn’t have cheese. But yeah the majority of aioli you are eating will be mayonnaise based.

I’m just gonna hope you’re joking and not that your username is an accurate description. Knowing when someone is at your doorbell without ringing the doorbell is pretty useful. Same for knowing if your dog got out, or a number of other things. I don’t like sharing my neighbors data with Amazon or the Feds, so running it all locally is perfect. I get to control how long any data is kept for, what it scans for, and none of it leaves my property.

Ah I scrolled past it the first time because I expected it to be at the bottom in the about section.

Which still doesn’t require as much energy as LLMs do. I run exactly that on my own server at home. And my unifi system does it on video all locally with no GPU at all. Video processing for identification is incredibly cheap and easy from a computer processing standpoint these days. You literally can do it on a raspberry pi.

You’re not spelling anything out. This article you are commenting under is literally about the case when YOU ARE NOT BUYING A LICENSE. Like holy fucking shit you are fucking dense. And yes you are not buying the fucking copyright. It’s like you don’t understand what that means. If you buy a book from the store you are not buying a license. YOU ALSO AREN’T BUYING THE COPYRIGHT. Sorry, but you do NOT own any of the copyrighted works that have ever been given to you or purchased. Yes you do. Buying the copyright has nothing to do with buying the product. Here’s an example. I as a photographer can sell you an image. I own the copyright on that. You cannot duplicate and resell my works as your own. But you can do whatever the fuck you want with the original you purchased. But guess what, I can also sell you a license to use that work instead of selling you the product. So I can say, you can’t do whatever you want with this. You can only use it for personal use cases or in one book. Nothing else. That’s selling you a license. Finally, I can sell you the entire copyright for the photo, transferring that copyright to you entirely, meaning now I can’t do anything I want with my own creation anymore. These are three different things. You are only buying a license in a very specific context. You are almost never as an individual purchasing a copyright, though businesses buy and sell them all the time. For the case above, Sony was selling you the full product. They were not selling a license. They were not selling the copyright. They were selling you an item you owned and can resell.
