Maybe they should ask someone for coding and design help.

Yes, indeed! Can you imagine how slow /dev/random would be if every random number would have to be negotiated first?

This is the wrong way to think about school education. It's not just to prepare you to use it yourself. For most people it's there to prevent them from being lied to. If you did something as a kid, even if you wouldn't be able to do so now, you know it can't be that hard. So if anyone tries to sell you something saying "oh, don't even look at this part it's just complicated math stuff" you now at least have a chance to spot the BS.

It's the same for pretty much all school education. It gives you a chance to spot the grifters, show-offs, and sleazy salespeople.

I wouldn't be surprised if the unschooling movement was supported by said show-offs, grifters and salespeople. Uneducate the masses and you won't have to come up with clever lies anymore. The simple ones are enough.

The first nuclear weapon tests for the UK and France were in 1952 and 1960, respectively. Nothing about that is new.

I'm curious, care to name a few things that have changed in Asia with AI (and wouldn't have without)?

I'm not telling anyone what to do or not to on Discord. I'm pointing out that IRC is the way it is on purpose, not by error. If you want microblogging, use a microblogging platform. If that is Discord for you, use that. Just be aware that you aren't just chatting anymore.

But your ordinary traffic light might be called a "robot" by social norm. At least if you live in South Africa.

What you are describing here is microblogging like Twitter or Instagram, not using a chat to do chatting. Chatting, by design, is ephemeral and text only.

The Langoliers of course.

Have you read the non-English output of those mutlilingual models? They say they put extra effort in to improve nuances and tone in this one. That alone is worth having in many settings.

Eventually whoever has the most energy.

When people ask me why I don't have any Windows machine at home, I say "for health reasons". It really raises my blood pressure and at some point I realised it's not worth it risking my health over it. You could use the same to get away from Copilot.

They will never open source it. For the same reason Pylance etc. aren't open source and MS tries hard to prevent them to be used in VSCodium. Every one of their open sourced projects contains a closed source plug that MS can pull at any time that is one of the features that gives the project its unique selling points.

It's for retrogaming apparently

If you look at all the threat vectors of a browser from a user perspective, a rogue extension is well at the lower end.

If you look at the threat vectors for the revenue of a company like Google, extensions that aren't limited by the browser are pretty much number one.

This should tell you everything you need about the matter.

How else can you keep ahead of the bots and their em-dashes other than by the use of pointless condescension and subtle misspellings? I mean, you've got to find a niche somehow.

I see no contradiction. GPT as synonym for AI and llama as symbol for open weights models. The original comment said llama had set something off in the open weights community. And I say you see that with llama.cpp, llamaindex, r/localllama. No one bothered to update them to qwen.cpp or qwenindex. And they were never localgpt or gpt.cpp.

Culture and language use says a lot about importance of ideas. Regardless of what was first or what some scholar sees as historically more important.

And yet it's not called eleuther.cpp or bert.cpp. And the famous subreddit isn't called r/localbert but r/locallama.

The modern German equivalent would probably be "Sommerloch" [1], describing the time when most politics is on hold because of summer vacations and news outlets try to fill the void with whatever story they find. The usual writers and editors being on vacation too during this time doesn't help.

But you trust Anthropic not do that?!

Is this what you are looking forward to?

Where did you read up on it? Any good sources you can recommend?

Sorry to pop your bubble, but the moment you add any IP connectivity it will be eventually used to mandate internet access. The devices you have now might not yet demand it, but you will have to replace them at some point or extend your setup in the future. We've seen this play out so many times now, it's baffling people still think this time will be different.

There's a saying: If you set up a trough, the pigs will come.

Thank you very much for making me aware of this wonderful artist.

This sounds like an abandoned Async ad for the backrooms.

In Germany and France it was established in the early 1800s. That was when the degree wasn't just a license to teach but you also had to prove you could contribute to research. Oxford was just late to the game. Whether Oxford participated, however, was more irrelevant than not to those other places I'd guess. The US was apparently also late to it, leading to an influx of American PhD students to Germany mid 19th century.

> PhDs only were adopted universally in 1917

In Oxford. That hardly counts as universal.

The quote uses "some" and "a few". You're the only one talking about "many" and "most". On quantity, your post and the quote actually agree.

> - "Add these domains with these mailboxes to an SMTP server running on my homelab, forward all incoming and outgoing via mxroute"

I laughed reading this. Have you actually tried it? I recently tried to get Claude (Opus) to give me a setup for a simple SMTP relay with Postfix. I had to constantly fight it not to include completely unnecessary components and configurations like Dovecot or just override my requirements. Even Claude is nothing but a semi-competent tutorial clicker.

To someone who never did anything like this themselves the result might seem fantastic. They might not battle Claude on details like I did because "hey, it works, doesn't it".

Don't get me wrong, I agree in general that LLMs are a significant milestone. But I would like to add, especially because of your tone, that perception of how much of a leap it is, is very likely a matter of individual competence. So your enthusiasm might say more about yourself than about the tool.

This is why I like Zigbee and am very uncertain about Matter that basically allows (or maybe one day requires) internet access.
