My hope is looking more like a decade of humiliation before Americans finally wake up.

If the right-wing media ecosystem was a CIA conspiracy then I could see that… But really that’s just a conspiracy amongst capitalists.

In light of the recent news of the DNC report, which of those options is willing to call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide? Buttigieg is a great communicator, but it won’t matter if the message is Republican light.

If it’s a competition of getting rich people then you’re guaranteed to loose.

So like I understand why the right doesn’t learn the right lessons; they’re misinformed. But you’re presented with an example of a failure of leadership to read the room and the lesson is fuck Gaza? What’s your excuse?

He must be referring to Luigi’s law.

I half way expect her to say “How dare you not talk about the DOW” to her executors

Judging by the fact we have terrabytes of his files, I’m not sure if he had anything left to offer for his safety.

Ahh yes. Giving them exactly what they want in order to spite them. Reminds me of Chuck Schumer.

Ask for papers, create delays and require all votes be submitted before the polls close to prevent people from casting ballots in key districts. Not sure if I like this game of guessing what form evil will come in.

If we have to choose between this an “open borders” then at least with the latter we can use the 2A to defend ourselves.

So great to have the Dems help calibrate the goon squad to be more palatable to the public.

Sam Seder, final answer.

Have you ever hear of Sam Seder from the majority report? Do you think he is a self-hating Jew because he is anti-zionist?

Those who society depends on most are the least free to take time to protest

Ask a prediction market and watch someone take the odds into their own hands.

Since you are a software engineer you must know the difference between deterministic software like a spellchecker and something stochastic like an LLM. You must also understand the difference between a well defined process like a spellchecker and an undefined behavior like an LLM hallucinating. Now ask your LLM if comparing these two technologies in the way you are is a bad analogy. If the LLM says it is a good analogy then you are prompting it wrong. The fact that we can’t agree on what an LLM should say on this matter and that we can get it to say either outcome demonstrates that an LLM cannot distinguish fact from fiction, rather it makes these determinations on what is effectively a vibe check.

But doctors and nurses’ minds effectively hallucinate just the same and are prone to even the most trivial of brain farts like fumbling basic math or language slip-ups

The difference is that the practitioner can distinguish the difference from hallucination from fact while an LLM cannot.

We can’t underestimate the capacity to have the strengths of a supercomputer at least acting as a double-checker on charting, can we?

A supercomputer is only as powerful as it’s programming. This is avoiding the whole “if you understand the problem then you are better off writing a program than using an LLM” by hand waving in the word “supercomputer”. The whole “train it better” doesn’t get away from this fact either.

A spellchecker doesn’t hallucinate new words. LLMs are not the tool for this job, at best it might be able to take some doctor write up and encode it into a different format, ie here’s the list of drugs and dosages mentioned. But if you ask it whether those drugs have adverse reactions, or any other question that has a known or fixed process for answering, then you will be better served writing code to reflect that process. LLMs are best for when you don’t care about accuracy and there is no known process that could be codified. Once you actually understand the problem you are asking it to help with, you can achieve better accuracy and efficiency by codifying the solution.
