  • It depends what purpose that paperwork is intended for.

    If the regulatory paperwork it's managing is designed to influence behaviour, perhaps having an LLM do the work will make it less effective in that regard.

    Learning and understanding is hard work. An LLM can't do that for you.

    Sure it can summarise instructions for you to show you what's more pertinent in a given instance, but is that the same as someone who knows what to do because they've been wading around in the logs and regs for the last decade?

    It seems like, whether you're using an LLM to write a business report, or a legal submission, or a SOP for running a nuclear reactor, it can be a great tool but requires high level knowledge on the part of the user to review the output.

    As always, there's a risk that a user just won't identify a problem in the information produced.

    I don't think this means LLMs should not be used in high risk roles, it just demonstrates the importance of robust policies surrounding their use.

  • I wish there was something that just did file sync.

    I know there's syncthing but that's not ideal for large repositories with many users and many files.

  • PHP apps always feel old.

  • I'm tired of everyone breathlessly reporting their talking points without challenge.

    Cutting government services is not the same as saving money.

    Besides which, it's tough to nail down exactly what is meant by "saving money" in the case of a federal budget.

    Finally, "saving money" is not the only consideration. I could "save" some money by deciding not to feed my kids lunch.

  • Not really.

    Garcia fled from gang violence. If you put him in a cell with 99 gang members, he's likely to meet a violent demise.

    There's a difference between the administration actively murdering deportees, and just not caring whether they die.

  • Programmers like to think that programming is a special profession which only super smart people can do. There's a reluctance to admit that there are smart people in other professions.

  • I'm not really clear what you're getting at.

    Are you suggesting that the commonly used models might only be an incremental improvement but some of the less common models are ready to take accountant's and lawyer's and engineer's and architect's jobs ?

  • It explains why Trump initially didn't care (didn't know guy was dead).

    It also aligns with Trump's statements about Salvadore being a sovereign nation, because the angle will be that it wasn't the Trump admin's fault.

    They're not going to reveal that unless / until they really have to, and it won't be Trump that announces it obviously.

  • Do we know for sure that Garcia is still alive?

  • I take issue with the "replacing other industries" part.

    I know that this is an unpopular opinion among programmers but all professions have roles that range from small skills sets and little cognitive abilities to large skill sets and high level cognitive abilities.

    Generative AI is an incremental improvement in automation. In my industry it might make someone 10% more productive. For any role where it could make someone 20% more productive that role could have been made more efficient in some other way, be it training, templates, simple conversion scripts, whatever.

    Basically, if someone's job can be replaced by AI then they weren't really producing any value in the first place.

    Of course, this means that in a firm with 100 staff, you could get the same output with 91 staff plus Gen AI. So yeah in that context 9 people might be replaced by AI, but that doesn't tend to be how things go in practice.

  • It seems as though they can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be American, which is kinda nutty.

  • I feel defective though.

  • I wonder why no one questions the volume of executive orders this guy issues.

    I know I'm pointing out the obvious here but it's authoritarian. As in you don't need a cabinet of people representing their constituents and developing policies and laws and deciding on the best way forward, you just have this one self-obsessed idiot making it up.

  • Is that another way of saying it filters out trash from reddit?

  • You're not expected to know.

    Just sign up somewhere else.

    All accounts are throw away.

  • Just when you thought things couldn't get any stupider.

  • Or it wasn't real.

    I struggle to believe someone could be this disconnected from reality. Honestly.

  • If you want a group of people to storm the halls of office and seize power by force you're talking about a coup.

    In this case, the demonstration of dissatisfaction by so many people is meaningful.

    That "feeling" needs to build to a cacophony that republicans just can not ignore. The whole country (aside from perhaps a few loyalists) needs to be in agreement that the republicans are not fit to govern.

  • See, IDK anything about data and power and cables but I dislike the vibe when I dock my laptop with that itty bitty USB-C connector that does power and 2x monitors and networking and peripherals.

    I did buy the bonkers expensive proper cable from lenovo, and it does generally just work, but maybe once every few weeks I have to unplug & re-plug.

    More power and more data through the same cable just seems daft.
