Costco’s soft-serve is way better than McD’s and actually is cheap.

I know more humans that fit that description than language models.

No. Strictly and technically speaking, LLMs absolutely fall under the category of AI. You’re thinking of AGI, which is a subset of AI, and which LLMs will be a necessary but insufficient component of.

I’m an AI Engineer; I’ve taken to, in my circles, calling AI “Algorithmic Intelligence” rather than “Artificial Intelligence.” It’s far more fitting term for what is happening. But until the Yanns and Ngs and Hintons of the field start calling it that, we’re stuck with it.

Bullshit. Developers never make mistakes. N.E.V.R.

No, but it’s basically a “I can use it to build my billion-dollar business and keep the profits if I want” license. The only real catch is that if I decide to modify the code and distribute it, I’m required by the license to share those changes with whoever gets the modified version. There’s nothing in the GPL that stops me from being a downstream freeloader, and I can stay on whatever version I like—no one’s forcing me to update to newer ones with terms I don’t agree with. Forking and modifying for my own needs is totally fine, as long as I slap the same GPL on the changes if I hand them out.

You can scan before the encryption step. It defeats the purpose of the encryption such that only the privileged actor gets plaintext while everyone downstream gets encrypted bytes, but technically it’s possible.

It’s only a matter of time until a vulnerability in the privilege is found and silently exploited by a nefarious monkey, and that’s precisely why adding backdoors should never be done.

Can’t wait for Nintendo to sue Microsoft because VS Code can be used to edit save files.

The funny thing here is that there are many good distributions that are based on Ubuntu. I’m a Pop!_OS fanboy, many of my colleagues enjoy Mint. Yet, almost everyone I know in the Linux world despises Ubuntu.

If I want to wear my sunglasses while I’m watching a movie in the cinema because I have a light-sensitivity condition—usagenof the sunglasses alters my perception of the film without changing the permanent media storage of the film—am I cheating and subject to copyright infringement action?

Stop giving me Thermo nightmares; I lived through that shit already I don’t need to sleep through it too.

A enterprise company that has 10k developers should just invest in their own image hub. It’s not really that hard to do. Docker even open-sourced it under Apache2.0.

Fair enough. I agree for what it’s worth—just have yet to find a browser that meets my needs for both usability and privacy. Always happy to explore options and I do sometimes. Just always end up back with Brave because everything else I try ends up annoying me in some way or the other.

You can turn the crypto part off you know. They even tell you how to do it.

Gonna go ahead and be downvote sponge here: Brave. Its privacy features and integrated Adblock have no peer that I’ve found yet, and easy bookmark/history syncing across multiple devices.

Yeah the CEO is a POS. Find me a tech CEO that’s not, besides Meredith Whitaker.

The most annoying thing about a lot of these is that tutorials are “minimal viable setup” sorta things. Like “now you have it setup, make sure you tune it for production”

Dude I’m already in pain from trying to serve these models and you just have to go rub salt into my eyes. “Simplify your stack with <Tech>” they said. “Share your resources effectively and easily with <Tech>” they said. “Here’s your fuckin’ ‘Hello, World’ now GRTFM and buzz off” they said.

Working close to the metal do be like that.

The above comment has also also been consumed by AI for training purposes.

I guess some people would simply “download a Rolex”.

oFCoURsE! And the dot at the end with no file type extension? Also intentional.
