  • Leaked Documents Show OpenAI Has a Very Clear Definition of ‘AGI’

    Jump

  • A dog may be able to fully react and learn how to react with the exterior. But can it modify itself the way human brain can?

    As per current psychology's view, yes, even if to a smaller extent. There are problems with how we define conscience, and right now with LLMs most of the arguments are usually related to the Chinese room and philosophical zombie thought experiments, imo

  • I'd say that difference between nature boiling down to maths and LLMs boiling down to maths is that in LLMs it's not the knowledge itself that is abstracted, it's language. This makes it both more believable to us humans, because we're wired to use language, and less suitable to actually achieve something, because it's just language all the way down.

    Would be nice if it gets us something in the long run, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up

  • I made a guess game in Rust :D

    Jump

  • I see, so I was wrong then

    Maybe I should try colour codes on windows when I get to it 😅 thanks for the info

  • I thought, colour codes are platform dependent, will it work on windows

    I usually run things on Linux or macOS, but using a library (crate) may add portability, imo

  • Not quite related to the topic, but I encountered several 'books' that can be replaced by several paragraphs of text, and this is almost as bad as making three hours video instruction where 30 seconds or a bit of text would suffice. I find it horrible that such ones are written at all

  • How lossy can it be until it's not infringement? One-line summary of some book is also a lossy reproduction

  • Communism

    Jump

  • You sound like you know better because you were there with Lenin. That is besides the fact that in almost 80 years a lot changed in USSR and what maybe was true at first, was not so in the end

    Is lead toxicity from shooting guns a primary reason many Americans seem cognitively impaired ?

    Jump

  • Well, I'm in awe of their commitment to transparency now. Not sure if it is the sole reason, but still impressive

    Jump

  • You're maybe not wrong, but I expect that even then the amount of lead and lead salts that gets in the water will be significantly higher than from non-lead pipes

  • We're being short-sighted

    Jump

  • You know, this is ironic

  • Our tooling saps my will to work

    Jump

  • If you want an unsolicited advice:

    There may be reasons to keep building everything from the ground up (usually reproducible builds and security are presented as such), but there also may be ways to fix build times while adhering to the requirements.

    We use Nix for building and binary cache plays nicely with it, but it is also not always too fast, it's hard to start with, most of our team hates it and wants to replace with something simple (not fruitfully, yet), but it may solve some of the issues.

    That is, if you want to solve those, I'm not sure I would if I were in such a situation.

  • GitHub launches a free version of its Copilot

  • Sounds more like "you can't exclude anything at all from training"

    Avatar is about capitalism

  • Drag is correct, but it's fantasy evolution we're talking about

  • How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announced

    Jump

  • Yeah, in case of polio and pox, there's no question of if it will be beneficial

  • The harder job

    Jump

  • I couldn't agree more with the latter part, I know a lot of backend engineers who consider frontend simple without ever trying what it really takes. This is not a healthy way to view someone else's work, and it usually produces friction between back and front end teams

  • The harder job

    Jump

  • I was toldo the other day that in ten years there will be no testers because developers will do all the testing.

    I've seen how it works out in practice: there's not enough time for testing and for developing, too, developers are going to burn and the product is going to be shit done and shit tested. Maybe it works if your company is willing to spend extra for less results by someone doing all the stuff less efficient than what they could, but that's a rare occurrence.

  • SAME STATS, DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS

    Jump

  • Also, if this is only a change in managing bugs, nothing may have changed except for more bug tracking for trivial bugs, or the opposite, ignoring more severe bugs

  • They/Them

    Jump

  • Outright banned, I'm guessing because blindly following rules by the book, but I think it's not a move in the right direction.

    In Spain people are trying to make neutral words by placing @ where a/o should go in the gendered words, I think it never made to any documentation but it wasn't banned yet, at least.

  • They/Them

    Jump

  • That's true, but you can't help but notice that when people coming from this background are taught English, they are usually taught that 'male' pronouns are the default.

    If anything, I would support the removal of 'he/him' for all the backlash it will generate.
