  • It's true that LLMs aren't "aware" of what internal steps they are taking, so asking an LLM how they reasoned out an answer will just output text that statistically sounds right based on its training set, but to say something like "they can never reason" is provably false.

    Its obvious that you have a bias and desperately want reality to confirm it, but there's been significant research and progress in tracing internals of LLMs, that show logic, planning, and reasoning.

    EDIT: lol you can downvote me but it doesn't change evidence based research

    It’d be impressive if the environmental toll making the matrices and using them wasn’t critically bad.

    Developing a AAA video game has a higher carbon footprint than training an LLM, and running inference uses significantly less power than playing that same video game.

  • I scrolled the comments and every single one is incorrect.

    Linux is not an operating system. It is a kernel, which is an important component of an operating system. Operating systems that use the Linux kernel are often referred to as "Linux" for simplicity and brevity, though. It should be understood that when someone says "Linux" they typically are meaning "an operatjng system that uses the Linux kernel".

  • That's still easily a mansion yeah lol. McMansion would still be "single family" sized in my bullshit-personal-definition of the word. Several families of multiple generations can live in a mansion. I bet there's 12 bedrooms in that house

  • only the non critical to function parts can be plastic

    This just isn't reality. For .22lr, nearly 100% of the gun can be plastic, including the barrel. Here are two real examples where the only required metal component is the firing pin:

    For more reliable and more powerful guns, some critical components must be metal, of course, like the barrel might at least require a liner, but the majority of the gun and internal mechanism can still be plastic, not only non-functional or cosmetic parts.

    And you can use literally anything else other than 3D printed stuff. So why is 3D printed even an issue.

    Idk, I didn't say it is. I'm just informing you that 3D printed guns are real, not a "fallacy", some function very well and reliably, and can actually be made with almost no or minimal metal parts

  • Uhhhh my friend you can print a 9mm CZ scorpion that shoots as well as the real thing. Same with an MP5. You can find videos of them being tested and shot on the internet. A lot has changed in the past few years with 3D printed guns.

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=kucefQ6sYbo there are silly videos too

    Of course, they are not 100% plastic, but that's irrelevant. They can be made at home with little effort using a 3D printer and from simple materials anyone can buy at a hardware store, without any registration or serial numbers.

    A lot of "real" guns are made from plastic, too, btw

  • In most somewhat-but-not-completely sane places, the part of piracy that is illegal/criminal is distributing the copyrighted material, so downloading it to feed an LLM would already not really be an issue. The "problem" here is that most of these LLMs are used for commercial purposes, which is not allowed, and some claim LLMs are a form of distributing the copyrighted material.

    If your LLM is only for personal use, then yeah that's probably totally fine already, unless you live in one of the completely not sane places where both receiving and distibuting copyrighted material are illegal/criminal.

  • Factually, they illegally searched his bag without a warrant at the mcdonald's, repacked the bag, put the bag in a police vehicle and drove to the police station without bodycam, and then turned bodycam back on to search the bag again and instantly "find" the ghost gun in his bag, which, without a serial number, is conveniently impossible to prove it was not planted.

    The motion goes on the state that once that officer’s body cam footage resumes, it shows her immediately re-opening and closing the backpack compartments she already searched and then opening the front compartment of the backpack “as if she was specifically looking for something. Instantly, she ‘found’ a handgun in the front compartment.”

  • nobody wants to wait 5-60 minutes for their package to install unless you're making modifications to it

    glances at my Gentoo system uhhh, do USE flags count as making modifications?
