Can you put out a contract on someone just by betting on polymarket that they won’t die by a particular date?

It’s not gay unless the brain worms touch.

I always liked the Linux ones over Windows. No random bullshit depending on who made the drivers, just a solid set of options.

Could do with being prettier through.

Nah, you can actually see some of them developing AI psychosis.

You’ve got to understand that most AI execs aren’t technical people, they’re hype men. And LLMs are weirdly good at hype and the illusion of technical correctness. So they don’t have a problem with it.

Sam Altman saying he uses chatgpt to tell him how to act with his baby is one of the things he’s said I actually believe. Of course he’s also a got a team of nannies he couldn’t be bothered to mention, but the trust for chatgpt is there.

Bragging rights and improved sleeping ability from the knowledge that the devs are being supported.

The serious answer is it’s often easier for people in a company to buy a license key than it is for them to arrange a donation to the devs. So this is an easy way to make small donations.

You can get a very good idea of what works by just looking for AMD GPU cloud compute.

If it was usable and cheaper everyone would be offering it. As far as I can see, it’s still experimental and only the smaller players, e.g. IBM and Oracle are pushing it.

so I confuse the number of ounces in a pound quite often, amongst other things

When do you need to use either of these?

I know the number of pounds in a kilo so I can understand the Americans when they talk about weightlifting and how much people weigh. I don’t think I’ve ever used an ounce in my life.

Well it is trained to copy musk.

If your posts turn up in /c/all they’re going to get treated accordingly.

And this is fine. /c/all should let users downvote posts they don’t like so popular stuff can rise to the top. That’s what makes /c/all sometimes worth looking at.

Otherwise, it’ll just fill up with all sorts of crap from communities with no downvoting rules, including edgy borderline racist stuff that’s not quite bad enough to get banned, or just shitty positivity memes copied from somewhere else.

Your problem is that you can’t delist your community from /c/all. That sucks, but right now your posts are turning up in two different communities with different expectations and you just need to deal with that.

For Ubuntu you just run sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktop. Presumably it’s the same for the derivative you’re using.

After that gnome will still be there, and you just toggle between the two at login.

Selfie doesn’t work, you need to turn your head left and right to follow instructions.

But yeah, there’s a bunch of avatars that will bypass it

Tesla and to a lesser degree spaceX are where the money comes from.

Everything else, Twitter, xAi, the boring company are all vanity projects.

We’re seeing the start of the tipping point. Tesla is being substantially harmed by his personal fuckery, but it’s always been a meme stock, so the price is much higher than it should be. This means that when the crash finally comes it should be extremely messy.

SpaceX is already being used to bail out xAi - if Tesla was healthy musk would rather use it’s funds instead - and with musk fighting with Trump they could get some contracts wiped out. They’ve got enough actual products (star link) without competitors that they’re probably safe for now.

To be fair Berlin is 100x better than the rest of Germany.

You absolutely can’t use LLMs for anything big unless you learn to code.

Think of an LLM as a particularly shit builder. You give them a small job and maybe 70% of the time they’ll give you something that works. But it’s often not up to spec, so even if it kinda works you’ll have to tell them to correct it or fix it yourself.

The bigger the job is and the more complex the more ways they have to fuck it up. This means in order to use them, you have to break the problem down into small sub tasks, and check that the code is good enough for each one.

Can they be useful? Sometimes yes, it’s quicker to have an AI write code than for you to do it yourself, and if you want something very standard it will probably get it right or almost right.

But you can’t just say ‘write me an app’ and expect it to be useable.

So a random person on Reddit claimed there’s about 800 million possible uk mobile numbers, some people have multiple numbers so ballpark 80 million active phone numbers. This gives around a 1:10 chance of picking an active number at random. If there’s actual patterns in the numbers this could be even more likely.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

BMI works quite well for typical people.

Either you do so much more exercise than everyone around you that it’s not a good fit for you, or you should take it as a warning sign.

If you think it’s muscle and not fat, there’s another test that you might like to try instead which is the waist to hip ratio. https://www.healthline.com/health/waist-to-hip-ratio

But if you want an honest appraisal of your fitness, just do a fun run. The shortish runs round a park with a bunch of normal people. Either you can keep up without killing yourself and everything is fine, or you’re not as fit as you think.

Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.

I’m fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can’t be bothered to learn another distro.

A big shout out to Oxford spelling which mixes American and English spelling and is incredibly hard to find a spell check for. It gives you all the extra u’s and z’s you could ask for.

I mean if everything is ephemeral and the users are anonymous and don’t log in, the federation wouldn’t actually do anything.

Wasting other people’s time.

If you want to use an LLM that’s fine, but if you’re cutting and pasting it into a discussion you should warn other people that it’s not human generated.

And most of it isn’t wrong, it’s just a giant wall of text that’s largely irrelevant to the conversation.
