- schwartzworldThey are literally called "Large Language Model". Everybody prefers the term AI because it's easier to pretend they actually know things, but that's not what they are designed to do.
- Many libraries offer 3d printing for the cost of filament.
- Do share. I have similar aspirations
- Hosting a website might be easier now. Services like netlify make it pretty simple
- That’s one example. For me, I think I mostly used it to have conversations that would extend past the number of quarters I was carrying.
- Have you actually played these games? I put in some hours on Hitchhikers Guide, and It was anything but natural. Maybe once you get far enough in the game and learn the language that is effective it gets easier, but I never got there. You wake up in the dark and have to figure out how to even turn on the light. Then you have to do a series of actions in very specific order before you can get out of your bedroom.
Figuring it all out is part of the fun, but outside the context of a game it would be maddening.
As for Eliza, she mostly just repeats back the last thing you said as a question. “My dog has fleas.” “How does your dog having fleas make you feel?”
- Well, you could always focus on the ridiculous environmental impact of llms. I read once that asking ChatGPT used 250x as much energy as just googling. But now google incorporated llms into search so…
I grew up on the banks of the Hudson River, polluted by corporations dumping their refuse into it while reaping profits. Anthropic/openai/etc are doing the same thing.
- Why would it be mold if the OP was culturing bakers yeast?
- The best time to start terraforming a planet is 500 years ago. The second best time is now.
- Lots of saws have safety features to keep fingers from being removed. It happens all the time.
- I spent a few months playing with forth after seeing a talk on it at Boston Code Camp. I struggled to find a practical application (I do web dev), but it had a lasting effect on my style of programming. Something about the way you factor a forth program changed me. Now I mainly do functional-flavored typescript, and while forth is NOT an FP language, there is a lot that carries over.
In Forth, the language rewards you for keeping your words focused and applying the single responsibility principal. It’s very easy to write a lot of small words that do one thing and then compose your program out of them. It’s painful to not do this.
There is no state outside the stack. If you call a word it pulls values off the stack and deposits values back on the stack. Having no other mechanism for transferring data requires you to basically create data pipelines that start to look like spoken language.

- A big part of why UBI isn't really viewed as a great option by actual socialists. I'd rather see us literally just give people food, housing and medicine without money being involved, but for some reason that's a tough sell to most people.
- We spend $850B on defense, and nobody ever asks where the money to do it comes from. It's only once you start talking about feeding people that everybody is concerned with the economics.
- > It's that they oppose throwing grandma to the street when she can't come up with the property tax to pay some lunch-co megacorp to give the kids lunches.
Jesus, talk about a strawman
- In America there used to be a 90% marginal tax rate the wealthiest members had to pay. They used their influence to do away with it.
I’m just saying, I know where the money is. One man’s “right” to own a billion dollars doesn’t outweigh providing the base needs of living to everybody.
- > It’s easy to find talk, for example from people who think universal healthcare should be applied differently to people who live an unhealthy lifestyle.
Brought to you by the same people who oppose healthy free school lunches.
- It saves a lot of work and therefore money. But there’s another layer to consider for many people. Someone getting benefits who doesn’t deserve it is less important than someone who needs help not getting it. You can’t scam a system that’s free to everybody, and there’s no incentive to.
- This is even worse. I'd call it Angular syndrome.
- Or a magic Jack. Cheap as hell
