Depends, I think, if there’s an insulating gap between it and your metal skull.

Make your MIT-licensed library big enough that the corpos use it, then switch it to AGPL just before you add a really important and tricky feature they’ve been waiting for.

Aww.

If you love it, set it free!

And yet, if you do that to your girlfriend, people have issues. Double standard here, people! Double standard!

If taking Cybertruck to an automatic car wash is necessary, Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, and walk-away door locking.

Doesn’t seem too stupid to me. The rest of your link looks mild enough too, just don’t use anything harsh on your exterior or the steel won’t look its best any more.

Then again, I forget the sort of rich person who buys a Tesla is also probably the sort of person who cries if it doesn’t look brand new every day, so yeah - sneeze and your beloved car is irrevocably besmirched.

Dude, nobody told me Cybertrucks are also wind powered!

Did you get the special chloroform-infused masks? I hear they’re the only ones that do the job properly.

Yeah it’s spelt Guix

How did Arch get this bad rep?

Because so many people love it and make a point of its ‘brilliance’, so it’s funny to take it down a peg.

Myself, long ago, I moved from Arch to Ubuntu partly for ease of downloads on bad internet in Asia (in-country package mirror, and obviously less downloads overall); and partly because I didn’t want my time and mental energy to be ‘on call’ for a random breakage from an upgrade. Breakages were occasional for me, and normally easily fixable, but took immediate time and effort.

I still think Arch is great, but I’ve got through some distro hops to end up currently on Mint, from wanting stability + a couple of binaries that are published for Ubuntu and not other distros.

Was tempted by NixOS or Guix, but… not just yet.

Now ask plasma…

I agree with top left and bottom right. Everything else is sacrilege.

And yet, multiple ones fit nicely next to England.

With a good depth of field!

Meh, he says, “opening an app to get water.” I think there’s some fudging going on here.

Water is available with no app.

Certain processed water is offered with an app.

That goes down well on dates.

Sometimes you can catch the first type out and flip them to the second, by being interested in what they know.

I hope you introduced it to them by means of a short parody film:

That said, the LLM isn’t running an array of bonus functions like breathing and wondering why you said that stupid thing to your Aunt’s cousin 15 years ago and keeping tabs on your ambient noise for possible phone calls from that nice boy who promised to call you back.

You listen to band because you hate music.

I remember seeing this effect on QI. They tried it on Alan first and he just powered through and managed to keep talking!

He is.

Somehow I have a Mitchell and Webb sketch ringing in my head, but I’m not quite sure which.

Nah, it’s the surface area of the extent of the effect. (For greatest volume affected, suspend the device such that its effect can reach, unimpeded, a sphere with that surface area.) Dunno how the physics works; something-something Gauss’s law, I imagine.

The other massive flaw it demonstrates in AI today is it’s popular to dunk on it so people make up lies like this meme and the internet laps them up.

Not saying AI search isn’t rubbish, but I understand this one is faked, and the tweeter who shared it issued an apology. And perhaps the glue one too.

milicent_bystandr , (edited )

I have read elsewhere that it was faked.

(Edit: meaning the original, with the golden gate bridge)

milicent_bystandr ,

I think people do love to dunk on it. It’s the fashion, and it’s normal human behaviour to take something popular - especially popular with people you don’t like (e.g. j this case tech companies) - and call it stupid. Makes you feel superior and better.

There are definitely documented cases of LLM stupidity: I enjoyed one linked from a comment, where Meta’s(?) LLM trained specifically off academic papers was happy to report on the largest nuclear reactor made of cheese.

But any ‘news’ dumping on AI is popular at the moment, and fake criticism not only makes it harder to see a true picture of how good/bad the technology is doing now, but also muddies the water for people believing criticism later - maybe even helping the shills.

Because they will definitely put in the work to make sure outputs are all sane and good, and not be pressured to click as many as they can quickly to fill quotas.

Not to mention problems from subtlety of language not crossing language barriers well.

How 2 debunked accounts of sexual violence on Oct. 7 fueled a global dispute over Israel-Hamas war (apnews.com)

Working in a kibbutz that was ravaged by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, Otmazgin — a volunteer commander with ZAKA, an Israeli search and rescue organization — saw the body of a teenager, shot dead and separated from her family in a different room. Her pants had been pulled down below her waist. He thought that was evidence of...

Beyond the numerous and well-documented atrocities committed by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, some accounts from that day, like Otmazgin’s, proved untrue.
