I also do maths with a computer. I trust it, it is usually deterministic.

I wouldn’t trust it. While math is usually deterministic, language models are not. They’re just spitting out whatever text is statistically likely. But that’s not how math works. These programs are usually terrible at basic math like multiplication.

Fear of missing out is kicking in.

Missing out on what?

So 3 lines of code is enough “intelligence” for you? I can see how that definition might have been popular among grifters in like the 1930s.

This is a garbage, subjective, pseudo-scientific definition.

And even if I entertain this nonsense, what kind of fool thinks that a minesweeper solver is “intelligent”?

What’s the old sense? A program? “AI” didn’t exist in the old days and it doesn’t exist now.

The logic here is like 3 lines of code maybe? The ubiquity of “AI” grifting has made language meaningless.

In the olde days people used databases for storing data.

I don’t know much about Hugo but, if your data isn’t static, then maybe you shouldn’t use a static website.

Learning vim seems like a right of passage or something.

Yes, I think every developer is dropped into vim unexpectedly at some point (eg. git)… “What is this? How do I close it!!!”

Ignore the “AGI” hype—LLMs are still fancy autocomplete. All they do is predict a sequence of tokens—but it turns out writing code is mostly about stringing tokens together in the right order, so they can be extremely useful for this provided you point them in the right direction.

I’m just super happy to see someone talking about LLMs realistically without the “AI” bullshit.

If LLMs help people code, then that’s great. But stop with the hype, grifting, etc. Kudos to this author for a reasonable take. Extremely rare.

Peak pro-genocide lib privilege.

lol. This author has never been on lib lemmy. The “resistance” is mostly just leopard jokes. Not much to offer victims…

Who is “we”?

I’m not deporting people to foreign concentration camps for “breaking the law” because that’s extremely wrong.

As far as the fash, they don’t deport their own… yet.

Lib qanon.

Don’t you remember all the stuff that Biden did to prevent this? \s

The “education” system is almost entirely based on privilege and indoctrination. Politicians are the cream of the crop.

Worshiping an outdated enslaver pact is what got us fascism.

He’s not even a good ESPN host.

That’s much better than someone smoothly championing a shitty issue.

That only works when you have nothing to hide.

I genuinely cannot think of how she could have handled this better or more gracefully.

By not supporting genocide.

Kamalacaust/HRC 2028!!! \s

This was literally a zio project but somehow libs blame china. smh.
