Soooo youtube premium costs $13 CAD, You're saying that google would make MORE money off me if I cancelled that, turned off my ad blocker and just watched videos with the ads?
For things like LLM the inference cost is higher than it is to deliver a video.
What you just said was shocking to me. Absolutely shocking. Where can I find more information?
I need to say as someone who also really really cares about the craft. About doing things right. LLMs have been a massive boon to me, because they're the only entity in this world that seems willing to work with me to get things right.
If something is working but it is ugly, sketchy, or I feel there may be a more apt abstraction or generalization of the problem, every other human being on the planet has persistently turned that situation into an exhausting argument. If the code works, it works, right? And all this shit I talk about is pointless because it works. And I have to fruitlessly construct an argument that would appeal to someone who cares nothing other than a complete ticket.
LLMs are at least not needlessly combative and incurious as to think that every approach but the first one we try is a pointless waste of time.
Has anyone figured out why so many corps do this? It always feels like it's one step from:
* Of course do whatever you want!
* Nah I'm a big dumb idiot who doesn't know whats good for him so ask me in 3 days when I've hopefully come to my senses.
I think a simple law would fix this
If no wasn't an option, you did not establish consent.
If there has anything I have learned in my life it is this: "the world is just. solutions are easy. and if people are suffering, then they deserve it. if they would just try to solve their problems then their problems would be solved." Is deep in the thoughts of most people, and it leaks out in all kinds of ways.
you DESERVE misery. If you are suffering, then you are the cause.
I feel I should hate this line of thinking... But it's too common. I can't hate all of humanity. Instead, I know to fear others. I know to never ask for help. This belief is so common that to do otherwise is self destructive.
If you had gone to the police they would have blamed you.
Your husband resolved it because it wasn't "his" problem. He didn't "cause" it so could not be blamed. Because as far as everyone else is concerned, the reason you had that problem was because "you weren't trying"
Because for most people, someone reacting with disinterest for the thing they care about is a rare and upsetting event, not their entire life's experience. That's what it means to be "normal", you align better with your peers. Most people don't need what you need. Most people can work with what you can not. You are choosing to be the exception. You chose to be like this, so unchoose it and stop being a problem.
Of course... That's the quiet part. The out loud part is just dismissing everything you say and passing you over for promotion.
The objections you have raised, the things you have said. I really understand what you mean. There's evidence all around that the aspects of our experience isn't alien at all. Why can't others see that? At this point I think that not seeing it is necessary mental infrastructure for some people. It's a bridge over an abyss that for us broke.
I think the solace I get is that this line of work tends to funnel people of our disposition into it. So we find ourselves less alone than we normally would.
Some VR looks pretty good, I think The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners looks great!
But of course, good proper unjank VR seemingly requires a 5x GPU power increase. You need 90+ FPS, two screens, high rez, and responsive. It's a pretty hard ask, so games need to take a big step down in quality in the name of performance. Even worse, a persons situational awareness and scale take a big leap up when compared to a flat screen, you notice flaws way easier.
Personally I was pretty lucky, VR doesn't seem to make me sick. And I use it frequently for lunch break exercise, I get to play games and get some physical activity in, which is a big win for a desk jockey. On that reason alone I don't think VR is going away. That's amazingly valuable.
Hey I like this idea. This is something that needs to happen. Every website starts with aggressive CPU throttling, and then they can ask for permission to be unthrottled. "Our web page requires lots of CPU to deliver text, for some reason we would prefer you not think about, can you please unthrottle us?". This seems like an action browsers could take to significantly improve the web.
I don't think I understand the desire that something be open source.
I feel like, if I wanted to, I could contribute to the linux kernel. All that I would need to do is submit pull requests, have it vetted, and gain reputation within that community.
Could you say that about any arbitrary pull request for chromium? Even if it was against googles interests to merge it?
Is your contention that I just fork it and compete with chromium with my PR integrated?
