Hi. I'm a 15-years-old programmer. I love learning new concept and recently I've been diving into low level programming with rust. I also write LibreUI,a MPL-licensed component library for ReactJS. If you'd like to take a look, here's the git repo: https://codeberg.org/MukiFreeSoftware/LibreUI
In my opinion, there's no such thing as "learning how to use LLMs" You interact with those tools using natural language, and normal people learn how to use natural language when they're 2 or 3, and master it as they grow.
I see, this experiment is a fun thing to do. My comment wasn't concerned much on why we do this, but rather on the fact that many people are starting to see LLMs as genuine entities, and i really don't think they are (also, i feed bad about using the word "genuine" after it has been abused so badly)
My cats do that as well! Since they dig into the sand to hide their smell, i think they do that to check whether they can smell some more and need to put some more sand on top
I think many people have. That is, in my opinion, because of all the anthropomizing (sorry for typos!) language used. The companies building these systems keep calling their newest features after human processes, for example "Dreaming", "Thinking", and the fact that they make their models talk in first person
> Wait, I noticed a pattern in my previous responses: I had some weird typos/letter additions ('sgreat', 'askinsg'). Actually, wait — did I do that on purpose or was it a glitch?
A person who has no idea what an LLM is would likely fall into this "trap"
> The result was that dogs weren't interested in their unmodified scent in "raw" form, but the modified version was by far the most interesting thing in the room. They spent more time investigating it than any other stimulus in the experiment.
I know very well that this is kind of off-topic, and just like the author, i do not claim to know wether dogs (or any other non-human animal for that matter) is self-aware, and again, just like the author, i do think that the question cannot be answered. Either way, the modified version of their scent seemed more interesting to the dogs, maybe it's because they smell their own scent all the time. The single fact that their modified scent is more interesting to them does not mean they are self-aware, perhaps they are just trying something new.
This post is nice: the writer first explains a problem, using a simple example. In the next section, they reflect a bit about the problem, and then they casually mention two tools they built. In my opinion, this is amazing: you sponsor you project, while also making the problem it solves clear: use their tool to test how portable your code is
If a 15 years old can do so (me) then other people can do so as well. I did not feel uncomfortable at all when i first installed ElementaryOS and then moved to Fedora. everything just works, i never ever had to worry about drivers or stuff like that
It's not true that any app can get total control of your system. If you install them via flatpak, the apps are sandboxed. Also, unless you log in as root, the apps can't do much. Wonder why the most important systems in the world and big tech's servers run GNU/Linux? There's a reason
I dont wanna start a war over this btw, even though it may not seem :)
This is what happens when you run an OS controlled by some random big corporation. I dont mean that it's the person's fault, but just that you should not rely on Apple. they allow you to use your computer, but on their terms.
Install some GNU/Linux distro and you can do whatever you want.
> Does that mean I now have to deliver?
Well, if you'd like to, you're free to do so! If not, somebody else could do it. You're not your audience's slave
"Illustrated tear-downs and break-downs of everyday products, like mechanical pencils, lighters and pez dispensers, that you may have taken for granted. Drawn by Bryan Macomber, a mechanical engineer and artist."
I believe it flopped because people simply dont want this kind of device. Maybe because it's seen as recreational (I'd never accept to try to do any work on it) and also because of the high cost. Most people are ok with just a phone.
