Never heard of LMGTFY ("Let Me Google That For You")? Why do you think it exists?

Or "Google / Wikipedia is your friend"?

Or RTFM ("Read The Fucking Manual")?

Really not new inventions (and "zoomers" were there for them, cause the oldest ones are pushing 30! [1]). Not hard to search for either, by the way...

[0] or rather, going through some very conveniently selective amnesia

[1] just to really give you a sense of how stupid this generation-xyz thing is, this "generation" includes people whose first OS was entirely possibly Windows 98, and at the same time, people whose first OS was Windows 10

Sounds easily searchable...

They're an absolute torture to work with over a dodgy connection, which often may not even be your fault. Looking at you AWS.

I remember in one of the Hugging Face incident threads here, simply acknowledging that the agents were operating autonomously was super controversial. Thousands of years old concept [1], still inherently human for a lot of people.

To be clear, I'm not trying to be judgemental with this, I more consider it to be a communications breakdown, and find that to be frustrating instead. I'm not really sure how to meaningfully help it either, cause no matter how one slices it, you will in the end ask these people do desecrate these terminologies in favor of some more twisted-seeming ones. Same the other way around, the humanist understanding of these terms is basically non-workable.

[0] as opposed to personification, which is what people are actually doing almost always: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personification

If we're going cynical, may as well go full throttle.

What's especially bewildering to me is that translated back to raw bandwidth, even 15000 tok/sec is just like what, 75 KB/s? Extremely meager amounts of data, moving mountains.

It's already kinda funny seeing LLMs throw out effort estimates in wall time terms. It's always some "hours, days, weeks" tier thing, when in reality, it's gone and done in minutes.

And I pretty much just plain agree, this is exactly what will happen.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it (in isolation) either, though I do already find myself pointing out that we're misusing LLMs at work sometimes (most notably, a recent mini project could have been a jinja template - and it did become one thanks to me pushing back on this). Abundance is one thing, waste and misuse is another.

I do. "They all have the same tools as I do" is exactly what's infuriating. They either blatantly don't use them, or are too incompetent to do so effectively, which would track.

I have been making an effort to provide an "AI;DR" section as well, even before the term existed, because of brevity. But sending along the full(er) text as reference I think is perfectly fine in such cases.

It got me to apply some slop of my own. Supposedly there's some new provisioning scheme that'd allow the author to not have to disable SIP: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/provisioning-profil...
