@[email protected] thanks for coming in

Thank you so much for responding to my many questions!

Fascinating. A unique perspective I would never get otherwise.

Interesting that you have priority by law, and that prophylactic antibiotics are not used (good!)

42 is correct.

I think you’re right that this got cranked to 11 during their lives, but the leaded gasoline might have something to do with this too. Through that lens, much boomer behaviour can be described. Particularly considering that boomer stereotypes are transnational

This is also my takeaway. Moving to fascistic leaders is just an expression of overwhelming pain.

It’s similar to Weimar Germany. Shame and economic dislocation are enormously powerful motivators.

If you’ll give me some rope, I think the Democratic Party has lost their constituency because they have made two errors:

1. Following Reagan, they tried to chase Republican voters by abandoning working class policies, disenfranchising workers and increasing inequality. Now, older people run the Democratic Party and they fail to see how much the landscape has changed since they were initially elected.
2. There are not many Democrats that harness anger. Anger is addictive and enthralling. The party instead promotes loyalists, policy wonks, technocrats, and extremely ineffective consultants. This has not paid off but their donors demand this sort of management.

Dang.

Dude this is super interesting and thank you for the time and effort it takes to put all this into a Lemmy comment.

Can I ask: why isn’t it possible to transport lab equipment to conduct bacteriological tests on site? I worked for an ag tech firm and closely with our biologists. Is it because it takes time to culture on an agar plate?

Is it safe to drink fresh milk because bacteria haven’t had time to replicate?

Are there conditions that would mean the milk is unsafe straight out of the udder, maybe in a way that isn’t detectable by flavour?

Why and in what regard do U.S. regulatory standards differ from Canada?

Do you think that widespread antibiotic use in ag will breed superbugs? Is this avoidable somehow?

And finally, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Cheers!

Yeah that’s my point, actually.

Their competitor is in the middle of a months long mistake. All they had to do was just chill.

Marco Rubio has a contemptible level of cowardice.

This is a non sequitur/ad hominem, but here is the debate where Chris Christie, a fellow cunt, handed Rubio his arse.

Also remember that Chris Christie prepped Trump for his own debates.

These people should absolutely be imprisoned.

True but most of the value of these LLMs comes from ingesting data produced by the public, with a healthy amount of copyrighted data.

Would you be in favour of class action lawsuits to compensate for the intellectual theft instead?

This should take the form of a continuous, publicly accessible investigation that only continues rather than is summarised when they retake the House.

But it isn’t and won’t be.

It will be a well put, tightly and succinctly presented, work of art of an argument for an additional impeachment and unrealised conviction in the Senate. Just like the Jan 6 Committee.

They should instead be throwing themselves into the gears of govt., but they will take the long term, conventionally optimal strategy of letting the Republicans make their mistakes.

America is so, so frustrating in the face of obvious corruption and incipient fascism.

The biggest things I can see are:

• the AI just pumps out text. There’s a bias for producing more code, when something more succinct or terse or a workaround exists
• the AI has little idea of standards and usually doesn’t have the architectural context in mind. This produces solutions in the local maximum and not the global maximum. Maybe there are other places that feed more context into the model/provide examples that make it better.

So basically, it writes junior level code which is fine but it needs serious review by someone who has seen better examples. I fight with AI models all the time when they provide snippets because I’ve seen a bunch of different implementations and know how to poke it.

Also, we should keep in mind that these models are going to get super expensive soon, so the scope of use cases that are worthwhile will drop

Much nicer people TBH

A lot of nonsense apologia in these comments. Motivated reasoning and carefully cherry-picked sources. A fixation on the long history of western imperialist propaganda. Edgy contrarianism, ultimately.

What you won’t see much of:

Direct and lengthy criticism of China (the kind that isn’t just damage control)

Citations from respectable research journals

Admissions that Marxist / socialist / etc nations have their own propaganda machines

Teens and Chinese agents, it is late, go to bed, you’ve got TikTok tomorrow.

Agree completely but I wanted to add: you can also get into an incomprehensible mess without vibing. Just follow the serverless flask tutorial, start writing raw SQL, and away you go!

I asked Claude today about why a coworker was getting errors and it almost exploded.

The guilt alone is your absolution

No, he will follow the pattern of buying calls on gold beforehand, then detonating a nuke in Ft. Knox so the gold supply is irradiated, making the value of his gold skyrocket.

This was in a movie once. I think it was called “The President That Couldn’t Slow Down”
