  You still lose the internal state between each token in the database output. It would let it plan, but it would still be externalizing that planning, one token at a time. Condensing all of the internal state into a single token at a time still means huge losses in detail as well as fragmentation of responses, resulting in all the problems that you see with LLMs.

  Somehow the actual internal state needs to not only be preserved, but fed back into itself. That’s how brains work. Condensing it into tokens isn’t enough.

  If I have a PC (which is practically a necessity for modern life anyways), I can get a bunch of fantastic titles on Steam for super cheap right now from their Spring Sale. If you’re too poor to afford a Switch 2, there are plenty of other options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 demand appears to be flagging as Nintendo reportedly lowers production⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was tempted to get it for the Metroid Prime game, but after reviews (and having to lower my discretionary budget because EVERYTHING COSTS MORE) I’ve decided to hold off. The Mario Mafia is definitely souring my opinion of the Big N, and the fact that their titles practically never go on sale means I wouldn’t buy many games for it anyways. Meanwhile my PC (and by extension my Steam Deck) continues to be my favorite gaming platform.

  Except that we’re going to start asking for more pay to clean up after AI slop.

  It’s mirrored. You can tell because the US flag patches are backwards. So it’s actually U.RA.LHY

  …yeah okay, it’s slop.

  Their launcher is so bad that I use my web browser instead to get their free games.

  I love how “Three-Star Programmer” is a perjurative term in C/C++ circles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they actually don’t own the game

  This is a fact that has been made apparent repeatedly. We know.

  However, you were replying to this:

  Make us individual game owners pay license every time we download and install the game?

  With this:

  This is how it’s been done for decades now?

  …which is patently false.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could, but bees overproduce honey. There’s literally no drawbacks to taking the surplus besides maybe preventing the colony from sending off new queens quite as often, and mildly disturbing the hive when it’s done. (A lot of honey bees are pretty chill about it, even without a smoker.)

  I don’t jive with the wing clipping though.

  'Tis such a beautiful day that

  Better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that some vegans think honey is exploitative really says a lot about their lack of knowledge.

  They DO know that if bees don’t like a place, they’ll just … leave, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every time a company tries to restrict the number of downloads/reinstalls for a game that you buy a license for, it has backlashed so catastrophically that they’ve walked it back.

  So it has happened, yes, but there is no situation currently with game distributors where you pay a license for a single download. They’re all pay once, download in perpetuity.

  It may have been for something else, but it’s weirdly applicable here…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup.

  There are very niche situations where a free market actually works - situations where there is no hidden information and no barrier to entry, where monopolies can’t arise due to the nature of the specific market. By the nature of these restrictions, nothing of any importance will ever be supplied by these markets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And there never will be. Not so long as it is possible to hide information from the consumer, and any sort of barrier to entry exists for market competition to spring up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password managers are less secure than promised⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s something that you don’t really care about others seeing, that’s a prime candidate for cloud storage and more power to you.

  This topic is about password lockers. I’m pretty sure you don’t want some schlub who happens to work at Cloud Password Lockers Inc. to be able to get at your PayPal account.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember when car controls weren't complicated⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that it’s fighting against gluing a giant iPad to the dash, which just hides all the complexity behind a pane of glass so that it -looks- simple when the car is off.

  With this setup, once you learn how it works, you can do just about anything with only a cursory glance away from the road to double-check your proprioception.

  The partnership will happen later on when the noise has died down, and it won’t be publicized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password managers are less secure than promised⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t store your stuff in the cloud unless you don’t mind someone else accessing it.

  If you store things in the cloud that you don’t want other people to access, you better be encrypting it yourself and only opening it locally.

  This has been a cardinal rule since day 1.

  GDPR laws allow you to download the contents of a Discord server that you have never been on? I thought it only required access to your own data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can only get it if you install Discord.

  It’s not so bad in comments that don’t have a significant amount of ‘th’ in it, but this one was like hitting a speed bump every five feet.

  Considering that LLM content that makes it into training content makes the trained LLMs worse… is this adversarial?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because they can’t intimidate Bethesda with an email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trouble is that it becomes far too easy to fall into the pattern of power being used to garner more power. All power needs to be held in check to avoid that very simple flaw. The moment the people are convinced that power shouldn’t be held in check is the moment that they are doomed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not the query that burns through electricity like crazy, it’s training the models.

  You can run a query yourself at home with a desktop computer, as long as it has enough RAM and compute cells to support the model you’re using (think a few high-end GPUs).

  Training a model requires a huge pile of computer power though, and the AI companies are constantly scraping the internet to stealfind more training material
