Happy valentine’s day, everyone!

Alright, I have no idea what this means.

The axis aren’t labeled properly. That’s likely why we can’t make sense of the diagrams.

Everyone elses life oscillates over time between positive and negative… OP’s life’s Y is X cubed. And it somehow contains big blue dots on the whole numbers… They consider that odd. And I’d agree.

404 , (edited )

First function is a sine wave, commonly written sin().

Second function is a cubic (“square”?) polynomial.

Joke:

Everyone else’s life: Sin.

My life: Square.

Edit: as pointed out, it’s not really square

rufus ,

It’s not square, though, but cubed. x^2 looks very different. And 2 isn’t an odd number (see title.)

But if the lower diagram was x^2 (and the axis were labelled correctly) I’d say that’s a proper joke 😃

404 ,

Haha yeah it was the only way I could make sense of it…

rufus ,

I like your joke better 😆 However… If the x-axis was time, you’d have to explain the negative part to me. Or stop at least at -9 months…

I got “everyone else’s life has ups and downs, mine is just up, up, UP!” from the graphs 🤷‍♂️

AVeryCleverName ,

Same, i thought it was about having a manic episode or something

Kolrami ,

I’m not sure about the top one. He could be saying everyone is living a life of sin (like 402 said).

The bottom one is definitely saying he lives an odd life because that’s literally an odd function. i.e.

f(-x) = -f(x) for all x

mumblerfish ,

From the placement of the axis in the first one that function is odd too.

I’ve seen like 5 posts about “AI BF/GF” today and it never ceases to surprise me how fucking easy it is to dupe people with these products, like holy shit humanity is fucked.

I’m always waiting for another ethical disaster trend to end but everybody is always in line for Mr Bonez Wild Ride.

FractalsInfinite ,

If all you need is a one sided conversation designed to make you feel better, LLM’s are great at concocting such “pep talks”. For some, that just might be enough to male it believable. The Turing test was cracked years ago, only now do we have access to things that can do that for free*.

butterflyattack ,

A pretty early chatbot called Eliza simulated a non-directive psychotherapist. It kind of feels like they’ve improved hugely but not really changed much.

doctorcrimson ,

Nah, bullshit, so far these LLM’s are as likely to insult or radicalize you as comfort you. That won’t ever be solved until AGI becomes commonplace, which won’t be for a long ass time. These products are failures at launch.

FractalsInfinite ,

… Have you tried any of the recent ones? As it stands chatGPT and Gemini are both built with guardrails strong enough to require custom inputs to jailbreak, with techniques such as Reinforcement learning from Human Feedback uses to lobotomize misconduct out of the AI’s.

JFC a skipping record plays right on queue whenever somebody speaks ill of the GPTs and LLMs.

Krauerking ,

It’s wild that people brag that it’s able to do essentially the same as copying and pasting someone else’s basic code but with only a few extra imagined errors sprinkled in for fun but that just makes it more useful for pretending you aren’t again lljust literally copying someone else’s stuff.

It’s a search engine that makes up 1/8 of all it says. But sure it’s super useful.

doctorcrimson ,

Sometimes it generates its own fake documentation when called out on a lie.

FractalsInfinite ,

… Don’t pull a strawman, all I said is that the AI’s designed to approximate human written text, do a good job at approximating human text.

This means you can use them to simulate a reddit thread or make a fake wikipedia page, or construct a set of responses to someone who wants comfort.

Next time, read what someone actually says, and respond to that.

doctorcrimson ,

Oh thanks, I really wanted to read another defence of an unethical product by some fanboy with no life. I’m so glad you managed to pick up on that based on my previous comments. I love it. You chose a great conversation to start here.

FractalsInfinite ,

The tech is great at pretending to be human. It is simply a next “word” (or phrase) predictor. It is not good at answering obscure questions, writing code or making a logical argument. It is good at simulating someone.

It is my experience that it approximates a human well, but it doesn’t get the details right (like truthness or reflecting objective reality), making it useless for essay writing, but great for stuff like character AI and other human simulations.

If you are right, give an actual Iogical response only capable by a human, as opposed to a generic ad hominem. I repeat my question, Have you actually used any of the GPT3 era models?

doctorcrimson ,

They forgot to put in the quit when they built this one. You should be in the porn industry.

FractalsInfinite ,

Indeed, I don’t think I can convince you at this point, so enjoy the touch of grass

Gabu ,

Is it really duping, though? The way I see it, most of these people are perfectly aware of what they’re doing.

doctorcrimson ,

It’s a very nuanced situation, but the people being sold these products and buying them are expecting a sentient robot lover. They’re getting another shitty chatbot that inevitably fails to meet bare minimum companionship standards such as not berating you.

There currently exists no ethical use of LLM AI. Your comment can be construed as defence of malicious people and actions.

Cethin ,

I’ve never met anyone who uses them, but I’m also not sure people actually think it’s sentient. I’m sure some do, but I’d assume the vast majority are just looking to have a conversation, and they don’t care if it’s with a person or a (pretty good) chat bot.

Also, there is a way to use it ethically. As the post mentions, run it locally and know what you’re doing with it. I don’t see any issues if you’re aware of what it is, just as I don’t see any issue using auto-correct or any other technology. We don’t need to go full Butlerian (yet).

Krauerking ,

Really? You don’t think anyone that uses these don’t think they are sentient?

Sure it’s not like the people designing these are prone to make-believing the AI for sentient too, right?

You are coming at this from your perspective which knows them to not be real. That’s not gonna be how the average moron thinks and there is more of them than you think. And they absolutely believe their is a tiny sentient brain somewhere in there that is alive. I’m all for people doing what makes them happy but also this is a loneliness confirming hole to get trapped in and absolutely opens doors to influence people through their imaginary friends that they think they can trust.

Don’t stick it in the pi hole without protection, you don’t want to catch a virus

Honytawk ,

The usb-c port is too small

I_am_10_squirrels ,

Maybe for you, but nothings too small for me!

FractalsInfinite ,

Yes using llama.cpp. Be warned without a GPU or strong SIMD, it will be incredibly slow

shitjustworks

ChubakPDP11 , in Fuck this. I am creating a new language. Some guy in 2006.

I really recommend creating a compiler or an interpreter from scratch, don’t even use an IR like LLVM or MIR. Just hack and slash your way though a C compiler, it’s the simplest language most people know. Don’t care about ‘optimization’ at first, fuck optimization. Just grab Yacc/Lex or a PEG parser generator that works with the language you like most and have ot generate assembly code for simple expressions. Like, make a bc(1) native compiler! Interprets are fun too. You can use VMGEN to generate a superfast VM in C, and then bind it to another language using SWIG.
Also never imagine usability. Noobdy is going to use your C compiler for any serious work. It’s just for education. Post it online to receive feedback.

You cna start by writing DSLs. For example, I am implementing the ASDL language from this old paper.

Also if you are going to do it as an example in your resume, just stop. Nobody cares, because it’s a trivial task to write a compiler, even if you write backend, forntned, and the LP yourself! Do something money-loving people loike, like making some bullshit mobile app that tracks your gym sweat volume.

If the service is free you are the product. That’s why I pay my girlfriend

Does your girlfriend pay you too?

Oftentimes now if the service is paid, you’re still the product!

All I can think about is that atrocious braces indentation

kakes ,

Maybe it’s Horstmann style indentation.

SpaceNoodle ,

More like Worstmann

kakes ,

Lmao gottem!!

normalexit ,

The red squiggle instantly caught my eye, followed by the terrible indentation. Then I noticed the class is called Main without a public static void main method, odd. Wait and Love is a string now?

Then I realized I too was saddened like Biden at this code snippet, so I guess in the end it redeemed itself

Ashelyn , in remember, if your gf isn't open source and running locally, you don't own her

I could comment on the notion that one owns one’s girlfriend but regardless, you should definitely self host if you’re sharing deeply personal information with a program

can , (edited )

So don’t treat bing as my therapist eh?

Edit: I was mostly joking, but are there any good ones I could run on a high-end android?

21Cabbage ,

I’m thinking through it and I don’t think you should run a therapist off your phone either. Not even for privacy reasons, that just seems like a recipe for disaster.

can ,

Therapist is too strong of a word for what I’m looking for.

Sometimes I just need to hear my emotions are valid without burdening anyone :(

FractalsInfinite , (edited )

EDIT: It seems the app sherpa has what you need. Just use one of the models found here, preferably 7b-chat Q4_K_S

Some people are energised by that kind of thing. However if you don’t want to reveal things to humans, you can use (if you are more technical) llama.cpp

can , (edited )

Thanks for the links. So I don’t need to worry about downloading the model from meta eh?

Edit: oh you mean download this one instead?

I tried and the app crashes after submitting a prompt but this is a good starting point. I’ll take a look into it further later.

wahming ,

You may want to watch star trek to be aware of the possible pitfalls regarding androids

Hey, Soong is 3/4 as far as we know – out of B4, Data, Lore and his wife, only Lore went bonkers

Timely_Jellyfish_2077 OP , in Fuck this. I am creating a new language. Some guy in 2006.

How does one see a memory bug on an out of order elevator

isVeryLoud ,

By staring at it really hard

ignotum ,

He knew something was wrong with it’s memory when the elevator didn’t remember him

Treczoks ,

I don’t know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a “Thank You” email later ;-)

ShepherdPie ,

Were your working on the elevator or just riding it? If the latter, I imagine even being able to see the wiring was an issue.

Treczoks ,

I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.

fibojoly ,

You know how everything has LCD screens these days? And sometimes you’ll witness a good old crash? I know I’ve seen quite a few.
I’m guessing something like that.

olutukko ,

I have seen elevator complaining no bootable media found

dejected_warp_core ,

Based. That’s a a bit like saying: “enough is enough, people are gonna get hurt. Let’s fix this.”
