As it stands the war in Iran is creating problematic issues with many petrochemicals and their derivative products making it harder for countries to generate wealth to invest in the US stock market.

agreed and we should hate them for it.

Its the character. Buying a global media platform to "promote free speech" and then shunt the entire thing and himself behind a particular political party. This guy uses his money and his twitter account to support neo-nazi hate groups in my country (Britain First, Patriotic Alternative, Hundred Handers, Tommy Tennames). He has no self-restraint. Its abhorrent. Its not "about politics" when the politics is about racial superiority and ethnic cleansing.

> Imagine if you couldn't post a thread about Microsoft products on HN without republicans feeling the need to jump in to talk about how much they hate Bill Gates for his donations to Kamala Harris's campaign in 2024. It's really tiresome.

and if Bill Gate was literally campaigning for the Dems, getting up on stage, handing voters cheques and THEN being employed by the government to run a department then you'd have a point.

He repeatedly crosses the line of what is appropriate. People with that level of wealth should stay the fuck away from politics and respect democracy instead of using their money and business to have excessive influence on democratic outcomes. Its unseemly and disrespects the idea of everyone getting the same amount of votes. I respect that donations have similarities but there's a difference between making a donation and being excessively public.

The qualifier matters, that guy has serious issues.

All that buying a calculator does, is allow you to do bad sums more quickly.

Remember its coming up millenilal time now and i have hope in this gen.

So in the short term the tide might go out but then it might tsunami back.

Same goes for this terrifying political feeling around the world. Might simply be a boomer swansong and the reaction might snap back.

So "no direct human supervision" seems like a misunderstanding. Article even bigs up the purpose of engineers with a hilarious (to me at least) line about auto adversial reviews resulting in over engineered designs.

You're wasting time and tokens here.

That was months ago. It often surfaces pertinent info which is memorable cos it relates to whatchu doin.

Perhaps me finding your comment and replying has similarities but at least this is validation of curiosity.

I love llms cos history isnt typically indexed by the sort of questions i wanna ask but an llm can cut a wide array of sources by an arbitrary metric and i can keep poking for more and more.

I see a wikipedia parallel. There's peeps among us that will 2am doom scroll wikipedia, peeps that will only do that same on social media and peeps who do a bit of both.

Exactly, and that's the level of conversation people should be having, instead of giving it "don't fucking guess" and calling it a day.

Its just too ambiguous a construct to lead to reliable output and its an operator error.

YOU'RE HUMAN?!?!

Please explain to me, how an LLM can easily distinguish between information it knows and a guess.

Perhaps you meant: "within the available documentation for the technology that you're working on and its current version, after having also double checked the outstanding issues via the github repo. If the technology has widespread use then forums might also contain relevant information where users might share further information about known issues."

But that's a teensy bit more than "never fucking guess", which is the lazy and stupid version of it which is what gets people in trouble. Do you not realise how this alternate version explicitly specifies the search space where "never fucking guess" specifies pretty much jack shit?

"never fucking guess" is akin to "don't make mistakes" in how its completely useless as an instruction.
