Then it’s a cat-and-mouse game between the anti-adblock tech and the anti-anti-adblock tech.
My money (not literally though :) is on the anti-anti-adblock tech. That can be crowdsourced and generally adapts much faster than big companies.
Probably the furthest man made object from Earth at this point for sure.
The article says “Scientists believe compression heating caused the cap to vaporize as it sped through the atmosphere.”
Fans? Customers yeah, but fans?
They actually did at one point, but they threw it all away.
The article seems to repeat the same stuff over and over again.
On Lemmy, a popular social networking site, user KerfuffleV2 astutely noted that the article repeated points that had already been stated in the article.
“It seems like the article repeated the same content multiple times” said KerfuffleV2, a user on the social networking site Lemmy. “Perhaps they get paid by the word.” the user added.
A rather uncreative article on thestreet.com triggered some snarky online comments including one from a user named KerfuffleV2. This user noted that the article repeated the same content multiple times.
Can you provide an example where science cannot explain a situation, because I can’t honestly think of any.
Not OP, but there is some stuff. One big example is qualia. How does matter give rise to actual feelings, experiences of things? This isn’t something we can measure directly and it actually seems like it won’t be something we ever can measure. Might also be able to use something like “what was there before the big bang?” and that kind of thing.
Of course, the fact that science can’t explain something doesn’t really justify falling back on magic as an explanation though. Some stuff just may not have an answer.
Pretty sure it’s mainly non-furry non-gay hackers that take down the majority of websites.
From dealing with their support in the past and stuff they’ve accommodated, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could just ask them to do it for a small amount like that. If you do a web search, you can also find a lot of information and people claiming it’s possible to do stuff like transfer it to a Paypal account, etc.
I haven’t tried to do that personally, so maybe it really just isn’t possible. It’s still only something that will affect someone that’s never going to spend money at Amazon again, right? If I’m going to spend $5.99 at some point, it’s effectively the same as a cash refund for me. If I’m going to spend $10.99 at some point it’s almost the same as getting double the refund, since I would have spent cash instead in those cases.
Do we need to be more efficient?
I mean, it’s usually a beneficial thing. Using less resources (including land) to produce the same amount of food is probably going to mean less environmental damage. In the case of switching to vat grown meat it also means not torturing billions of animals every year.
We have the resources to feed everyone on Earth and have leftovers
Sure. No one starves because the food just isn’t on this planet, they starve because the people who have it won’t give it to them. That said, we’re also not using resources very sustainably so saying we produce enough food currently isn’t the same as saying we can continue this way.
We could also increase efficiency even further by reducing meat/dairy consumption.
I don’t eat any animal products so you can probably guess this is something I’m strongly in favor of as well!
Anyway, I was just responding to what I quoted not specifically arguing for 3d-printed foods. Depending on how it’s implemented, it may or may not be better environmentally than the status quo
I agree it’s still better than walking away empty handed, but let’s not pretend that got their money back.
In the rare case the person has just stopped spending money at Amazon, I guess. For anyone that’s spending $10/month, it’s effectively the same as cash. (Also, you probably can transfer the credit to a bank account if you really want to.)
Like, those cells will require the same nutrients and same growing conditions, and they naturally 3D print themselves into the shape of themselves.
They’ll also naturally use the nutrients and energy to 3D print stuff that’s not useful to humans, like leaves, roots, flowers, etc. Basically this is how vat grown vegetables, meat, etc, can potentially be more efficient than the typical approach.
Easily hour+ long headache on your first time.
Whenever I read this kind of thing (and people seem to say it pretty often), it seems really weird to me. Same goes for complaining about distro installers. An hour of possible headache/irritation and then you use the machine for years. Obviously it would be better if stuff was easy, but an hour just seems insignificant in the scheme of things. I really just don’t understand seeing it as an actual roadblock.
(Of course, there are other situations where it could matter like if you had to install/maintain 20 machines, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.)
One thing is the pace is very, very consistent. Real humans don’t usually maintain that level of consistency, they’ll speed up, slow down, some words come out fast, some come out slow, etc.
The title makes it sound like Rotten Tomatoes deliberately did something shady. What actually seems to have happened is:
I’ll give CenturyLink a chance because I really hate Comcast.
I can definitely believe that Comcast can manage to be more horrible than CenturyLink. Not an easy task though.
The next best thing is satellite at $100 for 30Mps, versus 200Mps for $40 for CenturyLink, or Comcast.
Don’t go with satellite if you care about latency at all. (From what I know, it also tends to have pretty pitiful upload speeds.)
I looked at Centurylink’s “compatible” modems and they’re all rated 3.5 stars and cost $150+ or more.
I had their service for 6-7 years and I have to admit I never had an issue with the modem (and the service was generally reliable with little downtime). Their customer service though…
CenturyLink is absolute garbage. I rented a DSL modem from them. It got fried by lightning so they had to replace it. They sent me a modem that wasn’t compatible with my service. A couple years later, I had another one get zapped. I double checked with not one but two customer service reps to make sure they were sending me a modem that worked with my service. They sent me one that wasn’t compatible with my service. Then they took a few weeks to send me one that actually was compatible. When it got here, it either didn’t work or something else in the wiring was messed up (probably more likely).
That last part might not have been their fault but I could have known about it 3 weeks sooner. At that point I didn’t have much confidence they’d get it fixed while I still have my youth and good looks. Fortunately a smaller fiber company had just started serving the area and I was able to immediate cancel the CenturyLink service. More than 3 times faster and slightly cheaper as well. Also symmetric upload is pretty nice. CenturyLink is in for a rude awakening as competition appears in places where they previously were the only choice.
Seems like it’s this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrataenite
Doesn’t seem that exciting.
The problem is not really the LLM itself - it’s how some people are trying to use it.
This I can definitely agree with.
ChatGPT cannot discern between instructions from the developer and those from the user
I don’t know about ChatGPT, but this problem probably isn’t really that hard to deal with. You might already know text gets encoded to token ids. It’s also possible to have special token ids like start of text, end of text, etc. Using those special non-text token ids and appropriate training, instructions can be unambiguously separated from something like text to summarize.
The bad summary gets circulated around to multiple other sites by users and automated scraping, and now there’s a real mess of misinformation out there.
Ehh, people do that themselves pretty well too. The LLM possibly is more susceptible to being tricked but people are more likely to just do bad faith stuff deliberately.
Not really because of this specific problem, but I’m definitely not a fan of auto summaries (and bots that wander the internet auto summarizing stuff no one actually asked them to). I’ve seen plenty of examples where the summary is wrong or misleading without any weird stuff like hidden instructions.
Yeah the whole article has me wondering wtf they are expecting from it in the first place.
They’re expecting that approach will drive clicks. There are a lot of articles like that, exploiting how people don’t really understand LLMs but are also kind of afraid of them. Also a decent way to harvest upvotes.
Just want to be clear, I think it’s silly freaking out about stuff like in the article. I’m not saying people should really trust them. I’m really interested in the technology, but I don’t really use it for anything except messing around personally. It’s basically like asking random people on the internet except 1) it can’t really get updated based on new information and 2) there’s no counterpoint. The second part is really important, because while random people on the internet can say wrong/misleading stuff, in a forum situation there’s a good chance someone will chime in and say “No, that’s wrong because…” while with the LLM you just get its side.
Participants in awe of how Python lags behind C++, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and PHP
Comparing Python to compiled languages is like C++ is pretty unreasonable.
