>You don’t want to hire that guy. It’s not worth it.
how many times in history does this need to be disproven? some of the most insufferable assholes in human history were absolutely brilliant once-in-an-era types.
it's a chicken-or-egg question to ask whether or not the brilliance comes from the confidence or the other way around, but opinionated assholes that can't operate in traditional team settings have a proven track record of effectiveness in the world.
the trick isn't to ignore the brilliance, the trick is to find a handler or method that works to smooth the burden so that your organization can take advantage of the brilliance without self-destructing.
in fact, here's a rule of thumb. if any opinion anyone ever concludes with "Let's disconnect this human from society until they fix themselves" , well , I humbly disagree.
there isn't a market for barebones for the sake of privacy, but there is a market apparently for 'barebones for the sake of value', which is what the whole Slate truck thing is attacking.
I'm sure a chinese EV group could key in on the same pure-value market if there isn't a group already doing that. 'Golf carts for the street.'
it says it uses the haptic motors like within 2 or 3 sentences, it says it 'slams the controller into the puck until it charges', it says it uses an overhead camera, and it even says that it navigates the controller to the puck using the motors and camera further down if you don't feel like taking the 3 seconds to connect the dots.
a video would've been nice, but I would've communicated this the same way and i'm not an llm, even if this thing may have been written by one, nor did I have any problem understanding the intent - not a brag, it just doesn't seem that strange to me.
>I have seen this pattern over and over again. Anytime someone is an actual expert at anything, AI output appears insufficient or incomplete or outright misleading
media is awash at the moment with experts chiming in to support AI, saying their fields are being revolutionized, etc.
it seems unsurprising to me that the laymen opinion would follow the loudest media trumpets.
these types of (modern) eating disorders are a product of our current market, and I think that blaming humans for eating wrong due to 'food noise' when many shelves have little else to offer is insensitive victim blaming.
the perpetrators are the people selling poison under false auspices.
we're not blaming people with pica for eating drywall.
We're blaming profiteers for shoveling garbage into the mouth of anyone with a buck while systematically lobbying to maximize garbage advertising and minimize actual food where feasible and simultaneously incentivizing sales groups as much as is profitable -- all the while trying to convince medical professionals and scientists to produce overtly narrow results to support the public consumption through bogus 'science' papers.
llms are fantastic disassembly partners, they're quite good at labeling functions from various dissassemblers -- the net losses from losing the benefits of open source , imo , outweigh the protection afforded by hiding your source code in yet another layer that is more and more easily unrolled through automated procedures.
> Ancient societies ... were much more careful when introducing new technologies
I do not believe this for a minute.
> But I think they would be more surprised by how we managed to invent things ... which destroy our brain.
what kind of destroy are you talking about?
modern living changes brain development, it doesn't destroy things -- the brain is an ever-molding plastic object for that very reason, situations change and require different access to different things; unless by destroy you want to talk only of neuron number ; jury's out on that.
'Ancient societies' , let's talk Greek since you brought up Plato, ate and drank lead -- both accidentally and on purpose. destroyed their teeth on rock grit from stone mills and had zero ability to deal with the resulting abscesses aside from brutal surgeries without anesthetic, sterilization or antibiotics , inhaled burning wood smoke indoors just about everywhere, believed that the majority of natural happenings were omens , believed the womb caused women to 'wander', requiring infantilization and control of anyone with one, trained their militarizes through starvation and beating and rape/pederasty relationships were common place and even legally bound.
so, actually I think that ancient societies would be more surprised by the fact that nearly every one of their ritualistic ways of dealing with the problems that arose in their life was either 1) ineffective, 2) harmful, 3) deadly.
but first you'll have to convince them of what their brain even does ..
yeah , beautifully simple -- now instead of chasing arguments for a single command you get to chase arguments for tar, ssh, and whatever else you get to pipe in to match rsyncs argument list while hoping the entire incantation doesnt 1) break the shell 2) break cron -- simply because someone doesn't like LLMs -- probably not the kind of simple you meant.
>Over a decade of development and an estimated budget between $1-2 Billion, I am okay with paying ten bucks more.
I don't balance my checkbook based on what other people spend, and presuming that those things have anything to do with perceived quality is a fools' errand with the multitude of counter examples one can bring up of AAA flops.
>lesser games
this thing isn't even out yet.
how many examples of over-produced and under-delivered expensive garbage in film, media, video games & art do we need to produce until people disconnect the two concepts of quality and cost ?
yeah it's pretty fair if you compare them apples to apples.
an iphone boots in 15-20s depending on how stale things are, you'll presumably need to unlock it, and then navigate to the camera app however you do so.
it's just presumed you wont have to boot your phone.
if you don't like that concept of value then let's make a new concept of value that can't be reviewed or compared through the ages -- but until then I am completely comfortable with the idea that a full detail continental map would have been invaluable to the Lewis and Clark expedition.
The trope is that having any store of value makes you wealthy; not the case : wealth is generated through financial value
Bill O'Reilly is just a pundit, not some maker of policy or human truth. He's a talking head, and not a particularly eloquent one.
>One of my old coworkers was a retired navy captain who used to be an instructor at Top Gun and had hundreds of night carrier landings. He told me that he'd have to be forced at gunpoint to fly on a small general aviation airplane, it's just too dangerous.
it's just not that simple.
Some of the smallest GA craft are the safest by the numbers until you group them into the same category as famously sophisticated or hard to maintain models.
if it were me i'd be worried about the bigger GA planes. More to go wrong, more to distract the pilot, more reliance on the pilot being able to manage multiple engines and special equipment, more difficult take-offs, etc.
it took 5 refreshes to get 'Erect penis in yellow condom' from the 'Condom' wiki entry, which was just a (explicit) cropped picture of a dick in a condom on the random front page.
nothing a bit of regex cant fix.. hell add an nsfw version toggle that only looks up those kind of entries while you're at it.
cool toy though. reminds me of old microsoft edutainment stuff... well aside from the dick.
