i think god did a fairly hack job overall and i’ll gladly en masse commit acts that please me and fail to please his non-existent ass.

i’d even turn gay but that’s a bit out of my comfort zone

I see your point but off the top of my head: a simple regex on each document for a list of dental related words that then gets earmarked for a small LLM to determine if it includes a toothbrush concept.

I forgot to mention you’ll have to do this for every language and every possible phrasing. Good luck.

I just thought of a good test. Anyone have feedback?

We completely remove a couple simple, obvious inventions from the training data and then see if the AI can come up with it. Perhaps a toothbrush for example. Or a comb? But there could be better examples that would also have minimal effect on the final Ai.

Training is expensive so we wouldn’t want to leave anything important out like the wheel.

Ok, you do it. Here’s the internet: https://internet Make sure you don’t miss any references while you’re combing through, though.

I think i disagree? you do own games on steam: just download them, and you can then launch them without the steam client. At least Paradox/Sid Meiers games work without steam, i did not test others, but i remember playing Dragon Age (the first one) and Mass effect without launching steam (basically we used steam to install those game on my PC, then disconected from my friend account account, and could play a "pirated" game like this)

They’re also usually trivial to crack (if they don’t come with their own DRM). If Steam goes under or Musk buys it or whatever, you just swap the Steam API DLL with a shim that implements a couple of Steam callbacks.

Gaben saved gaming.

I developed a few commercial games on unity a while ago, here's why some of what's proposed is harder than you think,

- The original developper is not working on the game anymore, another company is maintaining it and has no capacity for making significant changes to it.

- You can't release your server source code because you will be using a lot of proprietary add ons that can't be released, and those are usually absolutely essential.

- Your server is going to be built against a now unsupported version of the engine, that you probably can't even install on current year operating systems

- stripping the source code of 'proprietary stuff' is significant work, there's no package management, code is copy pasted.

- Your protocol is based on third party commercial code and that other company doesn't like reverse engineering

- Changing the way the networking works to remove the lobby is significant development work, the networking framework is out of date, not maintained, and the devs are most likely not available anymore.

The rule won't apply retroactively to all games ever released, you know. All of these requirements can - and should - be met when new games are designed and architectured to satisfy the law.

Are you honestly trying to tell us that the code you receive from an AI is not requiring any of your time to review and tweak and is 100% correct every time and ready to deploy into your code base with no changes what so ever? You my friend must be a steely eyed missile man of prompting

> "Look through the parallel implementations, see which is best (even if it's not good enough), then figure out what changes to your prompt would have helped nudge towards the better solution."

How can non-technical people tell what's "best"? You need to know what you're doing at this point, look for the right pitfalls, inspect everything in detail... this right here is the entire counter-argument for LLMs eliminating SWE jobs...

I don’t think anyone expects software engineers will disappear and get replaced by janitors trained to proompt. I’m sure experts will stick around until the singularity curve starts looking funny. It’s probably gonna suck to enter the industry from now on, though.

> I think it still remains to be seen what a 1T+ parameter transformer trained specifically for radiology will do

Does image processing of something like this scale with parameters?

It makes sense that language continues to scale as the vector space is huge. Even models that generate images scale as the problem space is so large.

But here there are only so many pixels in the image and they are a lot more uniform. You likely can't have 1T images to train on, so wouldn't the model just overfit and basically memorize every image it has ever seen?

I struggle to understand what the target market is for products like this.

I can't imagine a legitimate market for (in my opinion gimmicky) colour e-readers, and I believe this would be a horrific experience as a daily-use monitor.

Is this intended for some form of advertising or marketing?

I would love to be able to comfortably use my laptop in outdoor conditions. (Or indoors but in a sun-lit area.) This is one of the ways to achieve that. I'd even replace my laptop's screen with an e-ink display if I had that option.

The whole Jetbrains product suite is sliding downhill quality wise. Can we go back to the days of yore where it was just a lightning fast Java code editor and it did that extremely well?
throwuxiytayq · 4 months ago
Any specific reason you’d say that? I’ve been using Rider for years it has been strictly getting better with each version.

(Please don’t disappoint me by saying “they added an optional feature and I don’t like it”)
