deelly··on I deleted all my social media 3 yrs ago and I hardcore regret it everyday
Mainly because I don't have an impression that it contributing to the conversation in a meaningful sense. We have a lot of different social media platforms out there. If you decided not to use one or more - good for you, but what exactly the message here? Could you explain it please?

Are you bragging? I`m happy for your personal decision, but I`m not sure why you decided to share with everyone that you stopped using some websites..
deelly··on Microsoft eyes $10B bet on ChatGPT
I`m very very curious about these approach. In my understanding most of AI models: GPT, StableDiffusion, etc uses statistics approach for learning.

I`m not sure is it really possible to: - add new layer of confidence, - ability to provide correct source for claims, - ability to fine-tune one answer, in the nearest future.

Example: can we teach GPT to learn that Sun color is cyan without retraining it from zero? So on any question (no matter how sophisticated it is) it always "know" that sun color is cyan? Can we teach GPT anything without retraining it?

> just ask GPT.

And then return to Google to verify that every fact presented by GPT is correct, and there no errors in numbers, names, definitions, etc. etc?

> No other independent hosters are having issues.

I could be wrong but in comments to https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44577 issue there at least 4 hosters that forced to manually disable background refresh because of this exactly issue?

> What is the point of the encoding ?

Absence of special characters. No need to escape symbols like {}:/\?& etc, etc.

deelly··on Stripe is about to refund €147k worth of payments to my all of my customers
No one will look into it I`m afraid.
deelly··on I'm done with Google
> for which you’ve already bought a license...

Bought a temporary license to use/read/watch. Its not like you bought a digital file. Nope.

deelly··on An extensive letter from Edsger Dijkstra to my 19 year old self (1989)
Sorry, english is not my native language, could you explain "...whether Submarines Can Swim." meaning? Swim as fish (answer - no, because submarines swim using propellers and analogs), swim as underwater ship (answer - yes, because submarines build to swim)?

> No-one abused it.

Honest question: how can you be 100% sure?

deelly··on Tiktoken: OpenAI’s Tokenizer
Example: umbrella

Tokens: [umb, rella] ?

deelly··on Who knew the first AI battles would be fought by artists?
> The idea that the AI will compete with you by copying your unique style seems like exactly the sort of short-sighted

Could you please elaborate, why its "short-sighted"?

> As an artist, would you be much happier if, rather than the AI copying your style, the AI generated infinitudes of pictures in a style that the overwhelming majority of humans prefers to yours, so that you couldn't hope to ever create anything that people outside of a handful of hipsters and personal friends will value?

You mean that any artist should be just happy that his work is used by other people / rich corporation / AI without consent? Cool, cool.

deelly··on Perhaps it is a bad thing that the leading AI companies cannot control their AIs
What bothers me a bit: if we can't control/manage ChatGPT which is still "just" a language model and not an intelligent entity, then how do we be able to control/teach next much more sophisticated models?
deelly··on Use of ChatGPT generated text for posts on Stack Overflow is temporarily banned
> Sure, some of the answers might not be correct, but that's true for any tool.

Can't agree. When writing code I actually pretty sure that 1 + 1 = 2, and 100 + 100 = 200. Of course, of course it could be not true for all languages and all environments, but in one language and in one environment 1 + 1 = 2 is true is always, and not with 99.9999999% chance.

Thats my issue with ChatGPT answers - I can't trust it. ChatGPT shifts complexity of reading, analyzing, verifying correctness of answer to human.

deelly··on Pinboard vs. Raindrop
There some strange claims regarding Raindrop.

> Raindrop displays by very-poorly-implemented “relevance” by default at all times (that is, not just in response to a search, where this might make sense if the implementation weren’t so awful), and this default cannot be changed, so I have to click twice every time I load a Raindrop page to switch to reverse-chronological.

When I open Raindrop it always remembers last sort (chronological), so I never have to click sorting button ever again.

deelly··on Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares
So, you don't use email at all now? Is it possible?
deelly··on ByteDance planned to use TikTok to surveil specific American citizens
In your opinion, should all other nation except USA ban Facebook?
deelly··on AI will replace middle management before robots replace hourly workers
"In fact, for most situations you do not want an AI, because you want to the software to behave predictably" is very good statement that very very often is skipped from discussion. Thank you.
deelly··on Normalising Layoffs/Firing
A lot of "should, must, have"... What if "could not, can't, don't have"? Sorry, just to clarify, your point is that this behavior is absolutely normal?
deelly··on The PS5 Has Been Jailbroken
Could you elaborate please? PC players play on jailbroken (in a sense) machine. Why this "rampant cheating that will ultimately ruin games across consoles" did not happened already with jailbroken PS4?

At least in-build Vivaldi ad blocker will still support Manifest v2 abilities.
deelly··on Cairo: Alternative Windows Desktop
Huh, thats why I always autohide menu bar and move it to the left side of screen. This way I will not open it accidentally while scrolling or by clicking on title bar/tabs of windows.

No one read terms and conditions, yes?

Actually why not? We have a lot of "just to evoke emotions" social media platforms out there.
