  • It's a little like comparing a top of the line gaming laptop to a middle of the road efficient laptop. Sure the games will run a bit better on the powerful laptop, but you're trading that for battery life. The Steam Deck is insanely efficient, and they made a few hard tradeoffs like the 1280x800 display resolution (which is great for battery, and honestly plenty sharp for the screen size).

    I'm still a little blown away it runs Balder's Gate 3 and Cyberlunk 2077 at all.

  • You can't use cash online tho

  • I think they're being more literal. All the latest open source AI models get posted on Hugging Face.

  • Basically every car says not to wash in direct sunlight. From my understanding it's because you'll end up with water spots and other residue from the soap drying on to the paint before you can rinse it off.

  • Let me try putting this a different way: The machine is picking the next best word / action / chess move to output based on its past experience of the world (i.e. it's training data). It's not just statistics, it's making millions of learned connections between words, and through association they start to have meaning.

    Is this not exactly what the human brain does itself? Humans just have the advantage of multiple senses and having a physical agent (a body) to interact with the world.

    The problem that AI has is it's got no basis in reality. It's like a human talking about fantasy things like unicorns. We've only ever experienced them as descriptions and art created from those descriptions without any basis in reality.

  • I have adopted the philosophy that human brains might not be as special as we've thought, and that the untrained behavior emerging from LLMs and image generators is so similar to human behaviors that I can't help but think of it as an underdeveloped and handicapped mind.

    I hypothesis that a human brain, who's only perception of the world is the training data force fed to it by a computer, would have all the same problems the LLMs do right now.

    To put it another way... The line that determines what is sentient and not is getting blurrier and blurrier. LLMs have surpassed the Turing test a few years ago. We're simulating the level of intelligence of a small animal today.

  • Because hallucinations pretty much exactly describes what's happening? All of your suggested terms are less descriptive of what the issue is.

    The definition of hallucination:

    A hallucination is a perception in the absence of an external stimulus.

    In the case of generative AI, it's generating output that doesn't match it's training data "stimulus". Or in other words, false statements, or "facts" that don't exist in reality.

  • Bare stainless steel, lol

  • If it's the city that put that on, they might get you for vandalism or destruction of property, something like that. Those parking boots aren't cheap.

  • I don't see any rust? That's just the fingerprints that you can't not get all over it.

  • As someone not subscribed to simpsonsshitposting, I really don't care if it's a repost. That community isn't even on the same instance, so it's a little like complaining if someone reposts from R*ddit.

  • Personally grit makes me think of literal sand. Or dirt in general. It's something you wash off the first chance you get. Not exactly something to be celebrated.

  • The main thing sitting between me and being a billionaire is my conscience and moral values. I'm of the opinion that to become a billionaire you must necessarily have psychopathic tendencies.

    For example: No way I could stand up on stage and bullshit my way through a Cybertruck reveal knowing it's all lies and unfinished ideas.

  • If it's someone else's job to design things, then that's a pretty terrible specification. But depending on your role, it's common enough for there to be one person who designs and builds a feature like "User projects dashboard", and the job is to decide what's important based on the product. Especially with smaller companies.

  • If you remember what battery powertools were like in early 2010s, it's super obvious how far we've come. The higher end things like battery powered lawn mowers didn't exist, and if you wanted real power, you needed a cord.

  • Classic Nintendo, making simple things like copying screenshots so complicated hacking your switch is a reasonable thing to do....

  • I wonder what the people/hour max is on something like a stadium entrance or hallway? I bet it's insanely high. Definitely some safety concerns though with crushing or trampling

  • I guess everything I've been calling light rail fits into the suburban rail category. Multiple cities I've lived in are adding in "light rail" tracks between major centers

  • Sounds like you're doing the job of a PM to me, but I guess that's just confirming your point that titles aren't comparable

  • And yet the AC still blows cold in my 2004 Honda that's not ever had the AC serviced... Sad to hear Honda reliability is going downhill.
