Problem is, LLMs are amazing the vast majority of the time. Especially if you’re asking about something you’re not educated or experienced with.

Don’t you see the problem with that logic?

Of all wallets, Trust Wallet had the exploit. You had one job.

I have no idea if they’re curious about the world around them. But that’s also not the question at hand.

If a chimpanzee looks its handler in the eyes and points to a banana, it may be interpreted that the ape is asking to have the banana. This, Hobaiter said, shows apes are capable of asking questions.

Obviously not in the spirit of the question. No curiosity, no attempt to learn about what’s going on around them. The article has no examples of real questions, so to me I’d say the meme rings true.

Damn, I gotta watch that movie again.

Agreed. It’s not for me. But I gotta respect the game. They do a great job making a pretty UI in a world where everything is UI-by-engineer.

First aid kit.

Coitarche was a new word for me.

I’ve had to kind of strongarm employers a couple times to provide me with a non-Macbook so I could put Linux on it. But usually in my job I can choose what I run.

It was fun! Not only do you have this new-fangled OS to just fuck around with, but it gives you more access to the system and you can actually learn how it works? Amazing.

Eventually it just became so ingrained in my personal workflow that I wouldn’t be able to function without it.

RIP in peace

But I do think (actually fear), we’ll soon get AI-translated e-books where you can select the language at checkout.

Hey, that might be one of the few things LLMs are properly suited for.

It’s just that all your shit and users are there, like issue tracking in this case.

The original blog post is rather frank and to the point. Wish the engineering leadership I worked with communicated this well.

I think when the economics of destroying a thing is better than reusing a thing, we should maybe have some sort of incentives toward reuse.

I get that the logistics of setting up what’s basically a secondary supply chain is difficult, but I’ve got to believe it would be for the better.

I’m curious if it would even be thermodynamically possible. If we could magically run a pipe that far, would the heat from the water radiate into space before it reached earth to do anything useful?

Someone get XKCD to do a video short on this.

That’s really disheartening. Not because of my want for cheap RAM, but for the sheer waste of it all.

For example, OpenAI’s new “Stargate” project reportedly signed deals with Samsung and SK Hynix for up to 900,000 wafers of DRAM per month to feed its AI clusters, which is an amount close to 40% of total global DRAM output if it’s ever met. That’s an absurd amount of DRAM.

Will these even be useful on the second hand market, or are these chips gonna be on specialized PCBs for these machines?

If you’re primary interface to your computer is a shell, then why not do this in a shell too? You likely already have your DE setup to handle shells. It fits within all your styling (no weridness between qt, gtk, etc).

A better question might be, why run it in a GUI? What are you actually gaining from doing that?

Lots of neat uncomfortable questions arise though. At what point is it conscious? If it never experienced autonomy, life, locomotion, or social human interaction, is it torture or just its natural state of being?
