Yeah, 1 in a million happens more than 7000 times a day.

Im so tempted to short one of these companies, but with my luck it’d be the one that Trump decides to save for a buddy, and I end up poorer anyway.

Yeah, I qualified it as my opinion because I know not everyone agrees. I make sure our cats have many litter boxes, places to nap and places to scratch, and a couple cat buddies. I hope that they do not feel something is being withheld from them. Thats my goal.

They live much shorter lives outdoors. Im not sure how someone could not care about the length of life of something they care about.

I see what you mean. I have 3 cats, all girls and spayed. Our neighbor has an outdoor cat (socially acceptable animal cruelty imo), a boy and intact.

They make goo goo eyes at each other through the windows. I dont know what would happen if I let them out, but they look like they’d be friends.

I agree and disagree. If you did a large enough trial with many animals and people, for each of many test cats in homes, then the data might show this. I just think that even if this hypothesis is true, the reaction to every cat/person won’t be the same for a given test cat. That could be a noisy signal.

Thanks

Just had a friend die of a heart attack while working in construction with his friends. Didn’t make it to the hospital.

That’s how I want to go. Just times up one day.

Ha! Hahaha haha!

I have never once seen a garbage inspector at any of the places I’ve worked. I have been instructed by my employer to dump or otherwise dispose of things questionably, many, many times.

I recycle when convenient. I have two cans the same company empties, one for trash one for recycling. I’ll fill the recycling, and overflow goes in the trash.

My wife hates it, but the amount of plastic trash that factories produce just blows consumer household recycling out of the water. There are people whose jobs include fillling a whole dumpster each shift. No comparison. Im not bending over backward to be little Dutch boy with my finger in the dam while it’s got a backhoe digging out the foundation.

Thinking is what humans do. We hold concepts in our working memory and use stored memories that are related to evaluate new data and determine a course of action.

LLMs predict the next correct word in their sentence based on a statistical model. This model is developed by “training” with written data, often scraped from the internet. This creates many biases in the statistical model. People on the internet do not take the time to answer “i dont know” to questions they see. I see this as at least one source of what they call “hallucinations.” The model confidently answers incorrectly because that’s what it’s seen in training.

The internet has many sites with reams of examples of code in many programming languages. If you are working on code that is of the same order of magnitude of these coding examples, then you are within the training data, and results will generally be good. Go outside of that training data, and it just flounders. It isn’t capable and has no means of reasoning beyond its internal statistical model.

You seem upset by my comment, which i dont understand at all. Im sorry if I’ve offended you. I don’t have a bias against LLMs. They’re good at talking. Very convincing. I dont need help creating text to communicate with people, though.

Since you mention that this is helping you in your free time, then you might not be aware how much less useful it is in a commercial setting for coding.

I’ll also note, since you mentioned it in your initial comment, LLMs dont think. They can’t think. They never will think. Thats not what these things are designed to do, and there is no means by which they might start to think if they are just bigger or faster. Talking about AI systems like they are people makes them appear more capable than they are to those that dont understand how they work.

It gave you the wrong answer. One you called absurd. And then you said “Really good stuff.”

Not to get all dead internet, but are you an LLM?

I dont understand how people think this is going to change the world. Its like the c suite folks think they can fire 90% of their company and just feed their half baked ideas for making super hero sequels into an AI and sell us tickets to the poop that falls out, 15 fingers and all.

These need to be hung separately. Different walls. Or at least with a sizeable space between them.

Let’s deescalate

This isn’t cancel culture. This is a hit list.

Usually, when people talk about Cascadia as a country, they include British Columbia.

Im sure there are parks where they can pick up trash in California, too. Don’t worry.

Personally, I want the files because I think that may be the fastest way to convince the deluded folks that it’s best if we fire this weirdo. Then we might have a chance to start living in the real world and fix some shit.

Release the Epstein files!
