You misspelled Unix.

MxM111 ,

I do not understand this joke. Is it about "time is relative"?

MxM111 ,

I understand exception of medical devices where manufacturers carry huge responsibility if something goes wrong. But consoles???

MxM111 ,

I don’t know. Could still be safety concerns? In many districts/counties you can’t even change a light-switch yourself.

MxM111 ,

No, it has to be certified (by state?) electrician.

MxM111 ,

That’s because the state is essentially responsible for house safety- there are many codes the buildings have to satisfy. Not everything is regulated like that. There are no many codes (if at all) associated with chargers, and charger safety is responsibility of a company making the charger. So at least I can see some logic here. But with low power devices like console the risk is very low to have someone electrocuted because incorrect low voltage (compared to what car is using to charge) card is installed. Maybe there is a risk of fire?

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

This is horrible article. The only number given related to LLM is 700,000 liters of water used, which is honestly minuscule in impact on environment. And then there are speculations of “what if water used in aria where there is no water”. It is on the level of “if cats had wings, why don’t they fly”.

Everything we do in modern would consumes energy. Air conditioners, public transport, watching TV, getting food, making elections… exactly the same article (without numbers and with lots of hand waving) could have written. “What if we start having elections in Sahara? Think about all the scorpions we disturb!”

They are really left leaning, not balanced, and it shows in their opinions, but also in news selection. Since fediverse is also left or even significantly left leaning, it gets shared a lot here.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

Counter arguments

  1. technology develops exponentially, while humans are … static
  2. even now single line of code LLM generates faster and cheaper
  3. the replacement is not programmer->LLM but programmer -> (programmer +LLM). LLM is just a tool.
MxM111 ,

So, at this point it is cheaper to change iPhone battery in Apple Store. Wow.

MxM111 ,

And it is only an eighth of a cup.

MxM111 ,

That’s not what is going to happen. Copilot will simply increase productivity over, and where before they needed 10 people, gradually, through attrition they will need only 9, then 8, and so on. That does not mean higher unemployment though, it means more product.

MxM111 ,

When productivity increases (as it has been doing for ages) the manufacturing output increases. That’s what normally happens.

MxM111 ,

That’s exactly what I meant by

That does not mean higher unemployment though, it means more product.

MxM111 ,

Well, the price goes down, or/end the salaries go up, or resources are freed for new investments…

MxM111 ,

Prices going down leads to increased demand and expansion. Salaries (everywhere) going up lead to increased demand and expansion.

MxM111 ,

Better for whom and why?

MxM111 ,

And not just that, he owns significant portion of it.

MxM111 ,

Not true: Dumbphone on Amazon.com. Clearly mass-produced.

MxM111 ,

Pointing on hypocrisy often called whataboutism, but it is still valid consideration.

MxM111 ,

The anarchists will argue against wealth redistribution because it takes (forcefully via taxes) money from the richer, thus committing a larger sin of anti-freedom than giving this economic freedom for the poorer. You can not make forcefully responsible one person for another person freedoms in anarchism.

MxM111 ,

Sure, anarcho-communists and syndicalists would like just essentially abolish private ownership of means of manufacturing, but not anarcho-individualists. I guess I should have been more clear that I meant my answer from anarcho-individualist point of view.

MxM111 ,

Free Markets: Anarcho-individualists support free markets as a means to distribute resources efficiently. They argue that without state interference, markets would naturally adjust to ensure fair competition and opportunity for all.

Elimination of Monopolies: They believe that many forms of economic inequality stem from monopolies and privileges granted by the state. By eliminating these, they argue that individuals would have equal opportunities to succeed based on their talents and efforts​.

Voluntary Mutual Aid: While they reject compulsory welfare systems, anarcho-individualists support voluntary mutual aid societies, where individuals can freely join and contribute to support each other in times of need​.

Education and Empowerment: Anarcho-individualists stress the importance of education and self-improvement as means for individuals to improve their circumstances. They argue that an educated and informed populace is better equipped to challenge and overcome social inequalities.

Personal Responsibility: They emphasize personal responsibility and self-reliance. Each individual is seen as responsible for their own well-being and should not depend on coercive institutions for support.

Non-Aggression Principle: This principle states that individuals should not initiate force or coercion against others. By adhering to this principle, anarcho-individualists believe that a just and equitable society can be achieved where individuals respect each other's rights and freedoms

Please note, I personally am not an anarchist, even though I find many principles attractive. I just don't think that they will work because of the voluntary aspects and internal contradictions (e.g. no state, but elimination of the monopolies. How?)

MxM111 ,

How is that different from anarchism-syndicalism?

MxM111 ,

Just imagine if all Reddit moves here if it dies.

MxM111 ,

I don’t mind him having golden parachute- it is heavier and most likely won’t open.

    Down to the model and loading.

    MxM111 ,

    Why not? The more the merrier, and you, the customer, have a choice.

    MxM111 ,

    Reducing public transportation is not a solution to fight poverty.

    MxM111 ,

    It is privately owned public transportation. Same as taxi. Same as supermarkets and malls being privately owned public places. And some Muslims and parks.

    MxM111 ,

    Why? Most of our businesses are private. The stores you go are private, the taxi you take are private, the cinema, the airlines, hell even electric and water companies are private. What so special about Uber that it has to be publicly owned? We do have public busses, this will be on top of that.

    MxM111 ,

    OMG. Museums + autocorrect = Muslims.

    MxM111 ,

    I am sorry, but if your city has just one pizza place, it is not deserved to be called a city. A town at best.

    MxM111 ,

    Yes, I understand that some countries have subpar standards.

    MxM111 ,

    I still use Winamp 5.5 or something, before it became bloated. Still kicks the same ass. Llama’s

    MxM111 ,

    I think he truly believed all that. He did not lie, he was wrong about the future. Or at least that would be his legal defense.

    MxM111 ,

    He is a smart guy and an idiot at the same time. I don’t know how it fits in the same person. He is not neurotypical.

    MxM111 ,

    And that would is probably one of the indicators of why lawsuit is allowed to proceed and might be won in the end.

    MxM111 ,

    Now do the trimmers and the lawnmowers

    MxM111 ,

    Do them too!

    MxM111 ,

    Why do we even have these “competitions”? What’s the point? Who watches them in the age of AI able to generate whatever…

    MxM111 ,

    BSD = Bondage, Submission, Dominance?

    /so sorry, could not resist.

    MxM111 ,

    So, more like wining a lottery?

    MxM111 ,

    The best convincing answer is the correct one. The correlation of AI answers with correct answers is fairly high. Numerous test show that. The models also significantly improved (especially paid versions) since introduction just 2 years ago.
    Of course it does not mean that it could be trusted as much as Wikipedia, but it is probably better source than Facebook.

    MxM111 ,

    Ok, by asking you mean that you find somewhere questions that someone identified as being answered wrongly by LLM, and asking yourself.

    MxM111 ,

    Yes, but where is the robocop?

    MxM111 ,

    By this logic, mass shooters make super-phenomenal job.

    MxM111 ,

    Love your first sentence :)

    But I never did say that they are the same. There is a way to point on logical fallacy by taking the logic to the extreme. Also, we may argue about semantics, whether to call protest peaceful or not, but it is a disturbance and against the university rules. There are ways to protest without violating those.
