Ah, that’s probably it. And yeah, governments need to figure out how to manage this. I think it’s destined to be bound by whatever is actually economical post hype. Not pending efficiency breakthroughs of the likes of mores law.

I am a software engineer by trade, so biases’ being what they are. But what I was more trying to demonstrate is that it is provable. Not that making the proof is easy.

hmmm, I just copied from Wikipedia as my primary source. That was the faux pas that was cool before AI.

I know you said all, but I’m curious which part do you think is horse shit? Do you think Torvalds is lying about using AI all together? or just how useful AI actually was? The commit with the alleged AI use is in the an RC for the next release, and it is authored by Torvalds.

Code is probably one of the easiest things to verify, for that reason I struggle to see any other viable uses for LLMs tbh.

user: write code that correctly asserts what 1+1 equals.
LLM: assert_eq!(1 + 1, 4);
LLM: hmmm, that crashed.
LLM: assert_eq!(1 + 1, 3);
LLM: hmmm, that also crashed, I must be doing something wrong, let me try one more time.
LLM: assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);
LLM: that worked!
LLM Response: assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);

user: what does this sentence mean? "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"
LLM Response: This doesn't mean anything, or someone really likes buffalo's

I can always run the code to check, I still don’t know how that sentence makes sense.

The edge case is software development, for the bog standard stuff I write at work it probably helps me get work done about 15%-30% faster and with costs of $200-$400 USD a month the math actually works out. At current prices anyway. Also the electricity costs of running open weight models is even cheaper and if there is a pop HW prices may make that an obvious choice too. The worst case IMO would be a slow boil of prices to recoup the unsustainable growth then a slow decline to wherever normal ends up. In that case everyone is left indignant.

Agreed, However I also wonder how or if LLMs could help with what we don’t know we need. With the processing pace of LLMs and the massive context the can processes at once. It seems like it could make the broader connections that are usually the harder to find more accessible.

If you cut out buffer bloat it’s easy to forget that everything is only slightly slower, it’s the inconsistency in the latency that makes you really notice. With a base of ~130ms when it doubles for those first couple of packets of every page load you really feel it, as long as it’s smooth, your brain can adjust.

I have it for my whole house and no one notices/complains.

That said, it’s kind of niche then more niche to run it on the VPN too, I wish it were more accessible.

In the last couple of months I just bought 12 months through a voucher that is no more so doubt I’d get a refund, so I’ve got some time to decide. I swear everything I look into deep enough has something going wrong with it, but I guess all we can do it take the battles we can handle.

Sure, that’s fine, I tend to agree, I was drawing out the picture of the collateral, so it’s considered as much or as little as it is worth, but at least considered.

I read it as he implicitly does understand that and is the reason he suggests getting a refund if that is your priority. He is just urging people to see nuance that there is collateral damage for the rest of the people that make mullvad too. A loose analogy would be, I disagree with Trump and I wish my country would divest from the USA, which is all well and good, but the workers don’t have great protections and would likely be the first to hurt. Sure a majority of them voted for him I could rationalize, but that’s not the same rationalisation companies use to layoff before they actually start to hurt.

Religion helps with being overwhelmed with nuance and grey (as in not black and white). I felt that I was capable handling/accepting the reality of life and was motivated by the few instances of pain that this same help can cause to other. What I really valued from religion was morals or the moral goal and a system that dictates which are okay to not worry about didn’t sit well with me. Not saying I’m doing any better, I just have the nuance to adjust my system to be better. Instead of faithfully following something.

It’s only good if you live in walking/driving distance from a train line or bus way. Assuming the destination is also walking distance on the other end.

His party did try, but the voters weren’t a big enough fan of that idea apparently. So bringing stupidity into the equation would probably just offend voters smart enough to realise that much.

I wonder if your sentiment is common, because being a non American, it appears as a vocal counterbalance to the occasional intangible headlines. This would ironically explain the imbalance from my perspective
