There has to be more to the story than that, as medical tools using radiation have had terrible accidents, but are still used a lot all over the world. And for example every day there are terrible accidents with motorcycles and in some countries that’s basically the primary mode of transportation for most people.

The true story has to be a bit more complex and nuanced?

I think space opera can be sci-fi or fantasy? Star Wars is definitely fantasy tho.

Imagine being married to a honest to god actual Spice Girl (after ditching your first wife and kids) and still having the need to sexually harass your PA. There is something not right with that man.

I think my face scrub still has these. But I would have to check, it might be just sand they put in there. Works great tho.

Edit - I checked, the ingredients say it’s silica. So yes, they put sand into it.

I use Arch BTW.

Teams runs on just about anything, which is part of why it’s so slow.

Back in the day Windows 98 was definitly faster than SUSE on my machine. Drivers back then on Linux were rough and if you wanted to play a game you’d need Windows or DOS for sure.

I only had 56k dialup back then, no fast internet for me.

Yes sir, we finally fixed it. It now no longer denies the holocaust.

Excellent work Jenkins! We’ve finally created the perfectly balanced and fair AI!

Well there is this one little hiccup sir. It now recommends a second holocaust and calls itself MechaHitler.

Come say that to my face and I’ll personally give you the Janeway treatment. I’m sure I can program the transporter to turn you directly into coffee. :p

No AI company is going to ever take any responsibility for anything their AI says. Everyone knows that those things hallucinate at least 50% of the time. If someone spends money based on what the AI said, that’s not on the AI, that’s on the person. I don’t know why this person is collecting “evidence”, not only is this covered by the EULA, any judge will throw this out in 3 secs flat.

Yeah but then they pull the old you need to enter everything to get the delivery costs. I understand they need my address to figure out what shipping would cost. But they also require my name, email and phonenumber before showing the shipment costs. So annoying, it makes comparing prices between shops impossible as some shops have higher prices and free shipping, where others have super low prices, but then fuck you on the shipping.

And everything is SO FUCKING SLOW. I swear my old Celeron 300A at 500mhz running Windows 98 and SUSE Linux was super responsive. Everything you clicked just responded right away, everything felt smooth and snappy. Chatting with people over the internet using ICQ or MSN was basically instant, all the windows opened instantly, typing had zero latency and sending messages was instant.

My current Ryzen 5950X is not only a billion times faster, it also has 16 times the number of cores. I have hundreds of times the RAM as I had HDD capacity on that old system. Yet everything is slower, typing has latency, starting up Teams takes 5 minutes. Doing anything is slow, everything has latency and you need to wait for things to finish loading and rendering unless you want everything to mess up and you’d have to wait even more.

Yes, I love those. Especially the rainbow candy is excellent!

It’s good to see more and more vegan candy being sold. These days I’ve even come to expect it. When it isn’t advertised on the packaging I check the ingredients and more often than not I see they are in fact vegan.

I think they meant people don’t know how these models work in practice. On a theoretical level they are well understood. But in practice they behave in a chaotic way (chaotic in the math sense of the word). A small change in the input can lead to wild swings in the output. So when people want to change the way the models acts by changing the system prompt, it’s basically impossible to say what change should be made to achieve the desired outcome. And often such a change doesn’t even exist, only something that’s close enough is possible. So they have to resort to trial and error, trying to tweak things like the system prompt and seeing what happens.

She isn’t a snob, she’s an addict. It doesn’t matter how she gets her fix, even if she has to murder some transporter freak, she needs to get the good stuff.
