'Trans People's Issues Alienate the Working Class,' Says Democrat Who's Never Met Either in c/[email protected]

Are they really ok with a candidate who's going to try to deport them (at best) or kill them (at worst) for not being white enough, just because they can't get over their transphobia? If so, then we really are lost

[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes. in c/[email protected]

Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding" in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I'm not trained in formal computer science, so I'm unable to evaluate the quality of this paper's argument, but there's a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it's an NP-hard problem). That doesn't prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.

The one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don't trust them at all for low level languages.

Sigh, another major thinker who totally misunderstands LLMs and their capabilities. The fact that he cites Musk as a credible source on "AI" says it all.

The maker of Mike Lynch's yacht says it took 16 minutes to sink and the crew should have had time to rescue passengers in c/[email protected]

The wealthy passengers shouldn't have depended on the crew to rescue them; that's socialism. They should just pull themselves out of the water by their bootstraps.

Why does the "Media Bias Fact Checker" - Bot gets downvoted so much lately? in c/[email protected]

Because it reports sources known to be unreliable (like Jerusalem Post and EuroNews) as Highly Trustworthy

Skibidi Toilet’ Film and TV Franchise in the Works From Michael Bay, Adam Goodman in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Skibidi gradually evolved into more than 70 1-to-5-minute mini-epics depicting the infinitely escalating war between the Toilets and the Cyborgs. Each video is explosive, violent and free of any discernible dialogue.
