There are so many services for formatting sources…why use an LLM for this?

They gave it a link to the paper, not the text of the paper. So it probably couldn’t actually access the URL and just pulled from its training.

I’ve almost completely stopped using them, unless I’m stuck at a dead end. In the end all they have done is slow me down and make me unable to think properly anymore. They usually write way too much code, especially with tab complete stuff, resulting in me needing to delete code after hitting tab (what’s the point even, intellisense has always been really good and now it’s somehow worse). They’re usually wrong unless prompted multiple times. People say you can use them to generate boilerplate, but just use a language with less or no boilerplate like Kotlin. There’s usually very subtle bugs they introduce or they’re solving a problem that is simply documented on stack overflow, while I wouldn’t be using an LLM if I could just kagi it, so they solve the wrong thing.

One thing it’s decent for, if you don’t care about code quality, is converting code to a language you do not know. You’re not going to end up with good idiomatic code at the end, but it will probably function.

None of this is to say that the LLMs aren’t amazing, but if you start to depend on them you very very quickly realize that your ability to solve more complex problems will atrophy. And then when you get to a difficult problem you now waste much more time trying to solve a problem that might have been simpler for past you.

It’s not a consumer decision. Women’s clothes are often created very cheaply. Adding pockets costs money. Therefore cheap (see slimmer clothes) are created without pockets, even if women would wear them with pockets. Your own explanation actually agrees with that by stating it’s tied to the looseness of the pants. You can’t get the look on baggy pants without actually putting the pockets there. If they could they would.

You’re right, it is basic economics. Just not in the way stated. Adding pockets costs money. Women’s clothes are often created incredibly cheaply. It has nothing to do with women not wanting pockets.

That just isn’t true. Answers in Progress on YouTube does a good video on the history of pockets in women’s clothes.

I went to a school in the middle of nowhere Texas and learned only about half of what you did and it still was impressed upon us how terrible the nazis were. There’s no reason any American shouldn’t know that this is heading right back in that direction.

is it like markdown for powerpoints? or LaTeX for powerpoints? seems neat, though I don’t create many presentations so I probably wouldn’t use it.

Zipper.

That doesn’t really follow logically… a 15 year old can find the mistakes a 5 year old makes. The detection system might be something other than an LLM, while the LLM might be gpt2.

But yes humans write messily so trying to detect ai writing when it’s literally trained on humans is a losing battle and at this point completely pointless.

It didn’t. Mozilla existed long before chrome ever did. It will continue to exist after chrome is gone. Anyone saying otherwise is trying to convince you to keep chrome around because it’s beneficial to them, not because it’s beneficial to Mozilla or humanity.

Only once in my whole career have I ever needed to worry about the performance of a loop in big o terms. I think it was about 7 years ago.

The author has an article about why privacy still matters in the digital age. I’m interested in their arguments about reconciling the two between gathering user votes to stop bad actors and user privacy mattering.

You used to be able to hold alt and right click and choose open.

That isn’t a Mac error message. It’s Roblox giving you that error.

I’ve always wondered what these are called. F is the design of the Sunfish dinghy.

If it was then you would get steam achievements with them, like stardew.

If foo is set to track origin/foo you don’t need to do anything except git push. But it sounds like you haven’t actually staged and committed your changes yet so you need to do that first. git add the files you want to commit and then git commit them with a message.

Buy small business level/enterprise grade stuff and it will last you decades. I haven’t needed to touch my router in a decade, it just works. Well I think it’s been a decade. Hard to keep track. Notably, enterprise stuff will have the AP (access point) split out from the router since they’re actually two separate things. Only consumer stuff has them combined.

The purpose of this thread is talking about why the Americans adopted a particular spelling - the evolution of the word, not who initially named it.

I’m the one that literally started the thread and no the purpose was not “talking about why the Americans adopted a particular spelling”. It was literally about who fucking named it.

No wonder you have no clue what you are talking about, you aren’t even on the right subject.
