There's a really interesting #study to be done about whether #LLMs are more helpful or not based on how you treat them...
Based on what training data is used, it's entirely possible...

I hope somebody is researching this.

Wow, Venus is super bright tonight.

Look, it's simple: If you think opening curly braces shouldn't be on a new line, then you just need to find a new line of work.

@mmasnick I actually thought you embedded porn into TechDirt by accident because TikTok's interface is so terrible that the default play button in the middle of the screen plays a video of a woman in a skin tight body suit making seductive comments instead of the bearded man giving a business interview that I expected.

I don't know how TikTok's algorithm thinks these are "related videos".

Just got an #LLM running locally in a container as a microservice that I can now easily invoke from other programs... the possibilities are endless!

Based on a notification that quickly disappeared, it would seem someone popped in the replies to this post to prove me right.

It's weird how there's this dogma around AR-15s, even on the liberal side, that's so strong that people refuse to even consider facts that don't support their unfounded beliefs.

The number of people who have been irrevocably convinced that AR-15s somehow produce more deadly wounds than other firearms is getting disturbing.

Where did this rumor start from? Why would these people think those bullets are somehow more destructive when fired from a specific form factor of rifle?

I'm used to people who don't know about guns making shit up to justify their arguments, but this one is weirdly specific and pervasive.

It's a weird time to be a rocket science fan. Because, on one hand, we're going back to the moon!

But on the other hand, fuck SpaceX and its owner.

It's like finding out the government is partnering up with Dr. Evil to give every citizen a free puppy. Sounds nice on the surface, but you just know there's something sinister going on.

So, my weekend project was trying to learn #Python with the help of an #LLM. It's convinced me further that these models just aren't ready for production usage quite yet, but they're incredible for students, if you have enough generalized experience to be able to recognize when they're talking out their asses.

Still, felt like a better-than-90% accuracy rate and the ability to customize its answers and follow basic logic and context from question to question is really quite impressive. These models have already evolved far beyond what I thought their capabilities could be, and I look forward to seeing just how finely-tuned people can get them.

It's incredible that #Docker can build, configure, and launch multiple interconnected instances of #linux in less time than it takes #Unity to compile zero C# scripts.

It would be incredible if Trump remains as an albatross on the Republican party, forever dividing it between the extremists and institutionalists, splitting the vote and waning their power, a curse of their own making.

But such poetic justice exists only in the realm of fiction.

Was having a nice dream before the state of fucking Florida had to wake up the entire goddamn state before 6AM on a Saturday.

No, I'm not gonna catch that amber alert from 2.5 hours drive away from my bed, thanks.

Spoiler alert: No scripts have been added to the project. #Unity3D #Unity

On a related note, I fucking *hate* companies that demand my phone number when they don't really need it.

*sigh* guess it's finally time to set up an OpenAI account.
