Not quite verbose but they tend to repeat the same few ideas multiple times with varied wording/imagery. You keep scrolling because you think you’re gonna see something new and by the end you’ve realized you just read the same thing 4 times over.

That “overbearing assumption” is made by practically every other X-media editing app, for good reason — you can save your work and continue/revert stuff later. If all you’ve ever used is MS paint then I guess it’s an unexpected thing, but any other image/video editing app, digital audio workstation, 3D modeling software, etc… work exactly the same way. It would be unexpected to me if “save as” exported a flat file.

There is no very best token to choose at each decision point. It is context dependent and subjective.

I was a straight A student all through high school; first year of college I got Bs and Cs, couple As, and failed one class. Next three years I got my shit together and was back to straight As, including retaking the class I failed. I would have appreciated this lol

Gosh, think what the backlash will be by the time the Meta EyeBall is released, à la Zuck’s android model, complete with the real time naked filter.

Both you and the person you replied to are making claims about the future. Neither of them are true.

Finally! I was waiting for this to become possible!

New comment by flufluflufluffy in "GCC steering committee announces AI policy"

flufluflufluffy — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:15:26 +0000

I’d be very surprised if any long time contributor to gcc would want to start pushing AI generated code. But even if that is the case, this is one of the largest and most complex pieces of software on the planet, and is used to produce the binaries of countless other pieces of software. I think this policy makes sense because of that. We want to make sure no inadvertent behavior is introduced (whatever that might be, from bugs to ~puts conspiracy theory hat on~ some kind of backdoor undetectable by humans inserted into every compiled binary allowing the authoring AI system (or the government behind it) remote access to every machine it runs on). Okay maybe that’s a little crazy

Ok the phrasing here, it’s, it’s just -

> However, compared to more specialized approaches for representation learning they produce less disentangled representations, which puts a ceiling on their usefulness for tasks that require world understanding.

Only an LLM would use a less disentangled representation of the concept “more entangled” when trying to explain to people in the real world why less disentangled representations are not as useful for modeling the real world.

Both can be true but it’s unclear if both are true, and it also depends on what one considers “dumb”

Even if this was simpler and better than markdown, I’d purposefully avoid using it because I hate the name so much. A good rule of thumb I just though of: Do not introduce seafood into your branding if you are not a seafood vendor.
