"Tech experts are starting to doubt that ChatGPT and A.I. ‘hallucinations’ will ever go away: ‘This isn’t fixable’"

whoa no shit sherlock it's a statistical model that composes answers that are statistically probable, not factual. it's almost like all it does is put a bunch of words that look like an answer next to each other and has zero grasp of what a fact even is conceptually

I wrote ⬆️ in the middle of the #COVID19 pandemic.

It was *infuriating* to see the number of tech bros who built half-arsed systems to handle confidential medical data.

Every single one of them thought that speed was more useful than safety - and every single thing they produced was a privacy nightmare.

Sometimes it is important to go swiftly and fix mistakes later. But it is more often the case that taking the time to do things the right way produces better long-term results.

Now that The Expanse is finished, I wanted to go behind the scenes and explain how they created the best space show of the last decade. Of course, I start with design and concept art!

Here's my interview with Lee Fitzgerald devoted to Season 2!

Nearly every material, whether it is solid, liquid, or gas, expands when its temperature goes up and contracts when its temperature goes down.

There are a few exceptions, but by and large, materials conform strictly to this principle. There is, however, a class of metal alloys called Invars (think invariable), that stubbornly refuse to change in size and density over a large range of temperatures.

For over 100 years, the source of this unique property has remained a mystery, but now, researchers have finally discovered the mechanism that causes Invars to behave the way that they do.

It's my latest for work.

I wrote about something that's near and dear to me: breaking normal website things. I wish we would let our web apps just do very normal website things. Copy text. Navigating via links. etc. What ones did I miss? https://heather-buchel.com/blog/2023/07/just-normal-web-things/

OpenWindows! this seems to be running pretty well. SunOS 4.1.4 is a better match for this system than Solaris 2.5.1.

It really whips the llama's ass.

I knew someday I'd get too old to recognize new celebrities but I did not expect to get too old to recognize what celebrities are famous for. every day I go "is that a new singer" and then a person born in 2007 goes "ew no they're a peeble streamer on doop" as I inch closer to the grave
