  • I've seen them "lie" about sources. I.e. if I click on a link it sometimes doesn't contain the info the LLM claims, or is just completely irrelevant.

  • Do we have a good solution for public survaillence cams and Facial Recognition yet?

  • I'd guess they probably just have a big blackbox ML image model now. A lot of computer vision tasks are being replaced by blackbox models.

  • OrganicMaps asks if users care they're on GH.

  • It's OK. Doesn't route for traffic and a lot of the places of interest are missing or out of date in my area. Does have features for stuff like semi trucks and large trailers, which is interesting.

  • We can but hope

  • At the grocery store I go to, most of the organic produce is in some kind of plastic packaging.

  • Yeah, I see random https and other connections all the time blindly scanning for vulnerabilities. Not enough to cause any real problems though. One time I publicly exposed redis or rabbitmq (can't remember which) and didn't set a password, so someone set a password for me :). That's about the worst that's happened to me.

  • It doesn't really matter to me, but from what I've seen, it looks like he's of a Groyper-like persuasion, who do seem to have a thing for femboys and such.

  • This whole thing stinks (Charlie Kirk)

    Jump

  • IDK, everything seems believable to me. Shooters/assassins aren't usually the most grounded in reality or mentally stable. The oligarchs are already successfully pushing their ideals and enacting them; they don't need a martyr. Liberals are already being assassinated through stochastic terrorism and will likely continue to be as well.

    I don't think he should've been shot. Ideally, universities and media would have never given him a platform to spew his anti-human ideals and opinions. But, the world is probably a little bit of a better place now with him unable to do so.

    After seeing his wife speak, it's safe to assume she's a POS too. Seems to be using the opportunity to promote herself.

  • The Treasury Is Expanding the Patriot Act to Attack Bitcoin Self Custody

  • I think most Bitcoin bros just care about the line going up; not about privacy/freedom. Trump and those around him are getting insanely wealthy from crypto in general.

  • I've heard it's a 10 year old meme from furry communities that's just about bulges from erections in general, not really a gender/trans thing.

  • I mean, they're literally state media. They're ok on some subjects, but do have various biases.

  • When is it time to switch away from youtube?

    Jump

  • They may be better than YT was when it was the same age. IIRC, Youtube used to use flashplayer, and most videos were something like 480p.

  • That's Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. AGI is Artificial General Intelligence that would be as, or more, intelligent than humans, and could, generally, do any cognitive task a human could. Sam Altman was (is?) seeking trillions of dollars in AI investment in pursuit of AGI. Collectively, the world's companies have already invested hundreds of billion of dollars in AI datacenters.

  • Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers ask federal government to save them

  • Most of the Republican base (blue collar) votes against their best interest because Republican politicians appeal to their bigotry, hate, and fear. They voted for a fascist who clearly telegraphed he was going to do fascist things. These are generally not good people. It's theoretically possible for them to be rehabilitated, but I don't know how that would happen.

  • Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers ask federal government to save them

    Jump

  • IDK, farm owners are an extremely small part of the population. Even farm workers are only like 1% of the labor force. They're not really the common clay. If they get it early, it will likely be because the big players in the space bribed Trump and/or other officials.

  • Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up

    Jump

  • I've had "success" with using them for small one-off projects where I don't care too much about correctness, efficiency, or maintainability. I've tried using various AI tools (Copilot, Cursor agents, etc) for more serious projects where I do care about those things, and it was counter-productive (as studies have shown).

    Hmm, I was curious if ChatGPT still gives inefficient code when asking it to write quicksort in Python, and it still does:

     
        
def quicksort(arr):
    if len(arr) <= 1:  # Base case
        return arr
    pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]  # Choose middle element as pivot
    left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]   # Elements less than pivot
    middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot] # Elements equal to pivot
    right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]  # Elements greater than pivot
    return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

    That's not really quicksort. I believe that has a memory complexity of O(n log n) on the average case, and O(n^2) for the worst case. If AI does stuff like this on basic, well-known algorithms, it's likely going to do inefficient or wrong stuff in other places. If it's writing something someone is not familiar with, they may not catch the problems/errors. If it's writing something someone is familiar with, it's likely faster for them to write it themselves rather than carefully review the code it generates.

  • McDonald’s CEO is grappling with a ‘two-tier economy’ as he slashes prices on value meals—and signals backing for a minimum wage increase

    Jump

  • Just capping CEO pay as some percentage as the lowest paid employee at the company would solve some of this; which I think Sanders suggested before. I suppose it would have to extend to every "contractor," and "gig worker" they use too. The "ranked" income suggestion could cause problems because it ignores supply/demand. I find "ranking" kind of dubious too, because some "unskilled" labor is much harder and undesirable for the worker to do than other work that requires degrees; so these workers should be paid more, IMO. I'm also fine with somewhat predictable inflation; prevents people from hoarding wealth.

    Edit: caps would also have to take stocks/equity into account somehow too.

  • I'm completely out of shape and don't exercise at all, but commuted to work on a bike when my workplace was ~5 miles away. Wasn't hard at all and only took a little longer than a car. Had a rack on the back and bags to pick up groceries too. If you need carry a lot of heavy tools every day, it obviously wouldn't be ideal. Even then a bicycle trailer could be used up to something like 100lbs.
