I’m sorry you experienced that. Personally I love Wellbutrin.

Dang, what a shitty doctor.

I would think that if a patient comes in with a rash beneath their belt buckle, the first thought isn’t Lyme disease, it’s nickel allergy.

If they were told about the tick bite, maybe a shitty doctor. But nickel allergies are crazy common. Something like 4-5% of men and 15-16% of women. And I suspect, personally, that the number for men is higher but most men don’t wear jewelry and might assume belt buckles can just cause rashes without realizing it’s a nickel allergy.

Then there’s me, asking the lady selling pendants at the ren fair if they’re nickel free, and then sighing when she says, “No nickel at all, they’re stainless steel!”

“That doesn’t mean anything. Plenty of stainless steel has nickel.”

“It’s surgical grade steel!”

“Right. Sure. That can, and probably does, still include nickel unless it’s one of the more expensive 400 series alloys and not the more common 316 stainless. Ask me why I know this.”

I remember some people in Reddit not being too happy with It Takes Two.

They’re just mad they don’t have any friends or a partner to play it with.

I don’t want to dissuade you, because Split Fiction is just as fun, game-play-wise, as It Takes Two.

But the story is not as good. And the characters are even more teeth-grindingly frustrating sometimes.

But still play it, it’s a lot of fun.

Eh. Cold water is fine. I’ve been using cold water for years.

Warm water is nicer, but cold water is fine.

I say that the US has no right to pretend to worry about and therefore control other nations when the US has a documented history of using them.

“Look, I know I used meth and got thoroughly addicted and it completely ruined my life and it has taken years to get to a place where I’m able to have a semblance of a life, but I can’t tell anyone else not to use meth! That would be hypocritical of me, since I did! No, no one has any right to ever share what they’ve learned through experience.”

This is the hypothetical situation you’re arguing for.

I never said that.

No, but the person I had replied to, hence the context for my post, did:

AIs will never be able to abstract away details correctly or design sensible workflows for boutique problems.

I’m not saying LLMs can, or will be able to, do these things. LLMs are likely a dead-end on the road to AGI. Dead-ends are part of progress. The crossbow eventually hits a dead-end in terms of propelling projectiles with ease faster and harder, but that isn’t the end of projectiles. We got cannons, then hand cannons, and then guns.

I’m saying if LLMs are cars, AI is “vehicles.” LLM is a subset of the broader category. We have helicopters and planes. They came later than horse carts and cars, but they’re still vehicles. And used some of what we learned building carts and cars, but also with new ideas and concepts.

And for all we know, someday someone will figure out how to harness the power of gravity like we did with electromagnetism, and we’ll have flying cars. We can’t know, but just because we don’t have the technology now doesn’t mean we never will.

Claiming it will never be able to do something is silly. We have no idea what advances will come in the future.

Cheeto Benito.

AIs will never be able to abstract away details correctly or design sensible workflows for boutique problems.

Not the current direction of AI, no. But the field is ever advancing. I won’t be shocked if we see AI capable of these things within my lifetime.

I find they’re often still not as good as they were, but you can get closer by brushing them with a bit of oil (I like to use avocado oil) before air frying, and re-salting before or after they’ve been reheated. Especially if you use a good garlic salt.

Damn, now I want potatoes.

Boeing, but a generally reliable model of Boeing

After nearly 14 years of 787 flights, this is the first hull loss and first fatality.

That’s a stellar safety record for any plane.

I believe this is the first fatal incident with the 787 and the first hull loss. It has a remarkable safety record over nearly 14 years.

Vegemite is one of my most proud acquired tastes. My parents picked up a jar of it when they were down under, and when I was over and saw it I said, “Oh good, you got Vegemite!”

They started going on about how they think it’s a joke that the locals play on foreigners. I showed them that if you spread it thin enough, you can start to enjoy it. Then you build up that enjoyment.

I love that shit.

What game?

Coincidentally, it is both his birthday and the US army’s “birthday.” Both arrived on June 14th, one in 1775 and the other in 1946.

I'm on lemmy because it's less horrible than reddit or toktik.

Likewise, though I am constantly saddened by how quickly the community started “othering” one another based on instance.

It’s like if you put a bunch of humans together they’ll figure out a way to hate each other. 😕

Oh no! I hadn’t spotted the lemm.ee!

Are you migrating to another instance or just fading away?

Happy cake day!

Fair enough. Thank you for explaining where you’re coming from. I can understand your frustration with that wedge.
