It really saddens to me see how many managers out there treat their subordinates terribly, and then act surprised when their subordinates do the same - as though employees are meant to greatful for their terrible treatment

I'd love to agree with you - but when people say that LLMs are stochastic parrots, this is what they mean...

LLMs don't actually know what the words they're saying mean, they just know what words are most likely to be next to each other based on training data.

Because they don't know the meaning of what they're saying, they also don't know the factuality of what they're saying - as such they simply can't self-fact check.

Rules for thee, but not for me - just as always

Win11 becomes a less and less appealing switch day by day... When I can no longer hold into Win10, I think I'll just have to jump ship to Linux.

Win10 is already quite privacy poor, but Win11 is straight up intolerable.

Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries

20 episodes in a single day is a slog, even for a show you like.

Unless you're watching a dub, you can't just listen, you have to be watching the whole time otherwise you miss the sub and have to go back - so you have to be giving your full concentration.

Personally I find it quite hard to my full concentration for more than a couple of hours - nevermind the 7 hours it would take to pull this off.

0.999... / 3 = 0.333... 1 / 3 = 0.333... Ergo 1 = 0.999...

(Or see algebraic proof by @Valthorn@feddit.nu)

If the difference between two numbers is so infinitesimally small they are in essence mathematically equal, then I see no reason to not address then as such.

If you tried to make a plank of wood 0.999...m long (and had the tools to do so), you'd soon find out the universe won't let you arbitrarily go on to infinity. You'd find that when you got to the planck length, you'd have to either round up the previous digit, resolving to 1, or stop at the last 9.

I agree on them being safe - when rules are properly adhered to, they're extremely safe, similarly to air travel. People only suspect their safety because when they do fail, they tend to fail spectacularly, again similar to air travel.

Having said that, they may be efficient to operate, but they are by no means efficient to build. They cost a lot of resources, and have a 10 year lead time - plus you need to worry about the cost of waste storage and decommissioning.

So sure, nuclear is better than fossil fuels, but you're just kicking the nonrenewable can down the road.

That time and resources would be far better spent on renewables, because that where humanity is gonna have to go long-term no matter how well any other alternatives work.

With how much time these "macho" conservatives spend thinking about gay people, even when marrying their own wives, it sure does seem like they're hiding something

The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??

Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.

Considering the German government will do basically anything to get away from even the slightest hint of antisemitism, I can see exactly why they're doing this.

But it's comical for Germany to be bending over backwards to avoid repeating it's genocidal past whilst turning a complete blind eye to an actual ongoing genocide.

The idea of AI automated job interviews sickens me. How little of a fuck do you have to give about applicants that you can't even be bothered to have even a single person interview them??
