Is this one of them SPAM emails I read so much about?
-
@Tounai pretty sure he started as the villain.
-
I've read your past stuff and you didn't do everything right. In fact you do everything wrong and people tell you that all the time. You weird little fake man

Bees die when they Sting

@-red this exactly
-
@Lensflare hmm, but I think you could train a middleware that translates one memory to another if you have an encoder and a decoder for two people then it should be connectible. But then again, human menory is a lot more complex since It's not Just image data :D
-
You're speed-running all life's bad decisions? Why not buy used?
-
@Lensflare much worse, obviously, but the recreation is actually precise, while a prompt will generate a $max_seed unique images with the same conceptual meaning, the compressed encoding will actually recreate it exactly (It's lossy compression, but lateste attempts outperform jpeg2000)
You can see some examples at the bottom here: http://lherranz.org/2022/08/... -
What did the guy that invented Brainfuck see?
-
Encoder-Decoder models and google were already doinge this 15 years ago. Except instead of encoding into a human readable prompt you leave it as the compressed weights.

You don't choose a language, the language choOses you. There's some that I tried to choose but they never felt right, and then there's a lot of languages I stumbled upon randomly and now I use them all the time
-
Dunno, some kind of deep sea squid maybe
-
Me and you, we are very different.
-
Am I programming if Im writting C that generates a json?
-
You can't. That's the entire point. But if it works, it works, whether it's due to placebo or because it's real it doesn't really matter too much

@Demolishun Honestly, we'd be fine if they just released the specs of the servers. They don't have to keep them alive. As long as there are legally obtainable tools to build our own servers it's ok. The idea of the law would be similar to Right to repair... If the company forcefully disables your product, you should at least be able to make it functional again yourself instead of it being lost forever.
And even then, this would only be required for online-only games. The incentive doesn't even require this from Live Services that actually require the online service to exist.
The big major problem are single player games tied to a "live service" so that they can disable your single player offline game on distance... And in those cases we literally just want them to patch the game to keep working after they brought down the service that literally doesn't matter.
If you keep looking for problems you gonna find them, but that doesn't help the situation -
@Lensflare I don't think a 3 year old would call a 4 year old "old"

This is a Sassy SAAS idea from chatgpt:
Tired of your content putting people to sleep? Meet your new AI-powered lifesaver—because clearly, you need it. Whether you’re a “marketing guru” or just someone who thinks adding a few keywords counts as SEO, this tool will drag your content out of mediocrity. It’ll spoon-feed you real-time tips to fix your tragic sentence structure, sprinkle in some SEO magic, and maybe—just maybe—get people to actually read what you write. So, ready to turn that yawn-inducing blog into something half-decent? Let’s not kid ourselves—you need all the help you can get. -
I'm going to ask nicely because I'm sure you have a good answer for this... But what age do you define as "old"?
-
Don't worry guys, he's just playing a character. He's not the boss of anything nor did he ever have a girlfriend, it's all fine

@Lensflare
I always knew you're one of the good ones!
@tosensei
Yeah, but most people are retards. This allows us to petition the law on the EU scale with much less people that "most people". For example germany has well over 83 Million people, but we only need 67,680+ signatures...
You can kinda see how this is better than trying to convince like 40 mil gamers in germany to stop buying Call of Duty every year.
All the petition is about is that once you purchase a digital good, the company should have an end-of-life plan for it instead of just deleting it at random and keeping your money while you're left with nothing. -
Just what jestdotty said!
Essentially as a human you're supposed to be under some stress all the time. We evolved to be productive in this whole "life" environment. In the past you never knew if you'd gonna have food, water, if you'd have to migrate half the continent or if you gonna get attacked by a different tribe or some animal at any point. We adapt to these situations and a good level of stress is required to keep you functioning flexibly.
Too much stress is bad, but too little stress is also kinda bad as it makes you unprepared for what's to come next. This really is a part of life for any living creature out there, us humans just now have "modern" problems, but it's the same concept.
It's not new science, we knew this for centuries, but the knowledge is getting lost in the new world oversaturated with useless information and sensitivity -
yeah, spam is notoriously difficult to deal with. that's why it still exists. Nothing really works, captchas definitely don't help, blocking ips does nothing. rate limiting is useless if you get spam once or twice a day anyway... You can start using a blacklist of words to avoid, but that starts limiting real users too, not to mention the spam probably isn't automated, it's probably coming from a farm where people copy and paste it manually, and if that's true they can modify it on the fly to bypass whatever filters or measures you have...
It's a PITA -
I like it for skeleton generation and shell script generation. Autocomplete is hit and miss but often it saves a couple seconds.
I also like it for UI stuff because I suck at UI and I hate writing it ( I don't work as frontend, i mean UI just for my personal projects) -
Why even use networks at all? My awesome service runs completely locally on https://localhost/best-tool-ever
Free domain name included if you update everyones hosts files too.
I don't have a lot of users for some reason, probably due to the CrowdStrike crash -
@g41j1n that's definitely not a "senior" level answer.
Commented code has nothing to do on the master branch. I can understand the value of Just commenting stuff out for Testing and development. It's very sligthly faster than reverting or looking for past git changes. It's even a bit more convenient than stashes. But realistically when I know merge is going to master I come down on that shit like a hammer. Delete it, it only serves to scare and confuse junior devs -_-
I think code should never be a personal "my baby" kind of thing. Reviews are a great thing and code should always evolve with the project :/ -
I can't believe companies actually pay money for this. Hosting stuff in my fucking closet would be more secure, efficient and cheaper.
-
This is what PRs are for! Subpar or uselessly re-inventing code should be blocked in PR until it meets the best practices of the company.
But yeah, some companies really have shit PR practices -
LLMs are literally a "language model", they model language. Just because the emergent property of modeling language looks like intelligence and thought doesn't mean we should be trying to make it "think thoughts" by bending it backwards. As far as I'm concerned, making LLM based "AI"s and "agents" is a waste of time. The LLM can be a part of encoding and decoding, but that's all it is. Assigning any other properties to it at this point in time is pure fantasy world level madness. Whatever "AI" you can build with just language will pale in comparison to a system designed to actually actively think. The only issue is we have no idea how to do that or even where to start so everyone pretends like this is useful right now. It's quickly moving out of the cryptocurrency-level territory to NFT-level territory... and as before, everyone just laps it up
-
@jestdotty AI Agents are literally just LLMs with some context prepended to them so they act more "domain specific" the tech is the same shitty tech though
