The strike-through to mark hyperlinks on this website is a hallmark of degeneration of UI design.

Dunno. I got a Ryzen 7 with 16 cores from 2021 and the modern web still doesn't render smoothly. Maybe its not the hardware?

Right now the fully deterministic always correct oracle machine doesn't exist. The most authorative answer we can get on a subject is from a respected human in their field (who is still stochastic). It's unrealistic to hold LLMs to a higher standard than that.

It isn't though, the most factually correct human expert is also stochastic. The only question is how the dice are weighted.

"human expert" as reference for "factually correct", oh just gently caress yourself. Appeal to authority (expert = social status) is as much bullshit as appeal to popularity.

Nothing to do with dice though.

The whole "stochastic means to find factual correctness" thing is an error of method, arguing about weights here is nonsense.

It is if the weights are sufficiently advanced.

I find such statements frightening. Too many people can not tell the different between prevalence ("everybody does it") and factually correct.

I fail to see the purpose of f-strings if they end up as complex as printf formatting. Maybe use printf at this point?
