All those “x extrapolations” imply their dual “x interpolations”.

I feel your pain. I am not a native english speaker but I see lots of comparable words come up in my language. I believe they are wrong but I know many “wrong” examples that were wrong a century ago but they are part of the daily language now.
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
if you are already competent and you are aware that it doesn’t necessarily give you correct information, the it is really helpful. I know enough to sense when it is making shit up. Also it is, for some scenarios, faster and easier then looking at a documentation. I like it personally. But it will not replace competent developers anytime soon.

To late. it is a widely used term with a very specific meaning now. that’s language for you. not just modern language. all of language.

Don’t be scared. Embrace the data. Let it flow through the fiber optic cables and into your RAID array. Dew it!
- Comment on AMD announces unified UDNA GPU architecture — bringing RDNA and CDNA together to take on Nvidia's CUDA ecosystem 2 months ago:
He means programming language. Don’t use programming languages that are controlled by a single company. Not “don’t say CUDA when you mean any general purpose GPU programming language”.

I read it as “stepson” and thought it was a low res picture of pizza. I guess I am a bit sleep deprived.
- Comment on Self-Hosted AI is pretty darn cool 3 months ago:
I am also using open webui. Most LLMs are too verbose for me, so I created a model in open-webui with system prompt “Do not repeat the questions. Avoid giving lists as answers. Do not summarize the answer at the end. If asked a follow-up question, respond with only new information, do not repeat previously stated information.” and named it No Nonsense.
- Comment on Major shifts at OpenAI spark skepticism about impending AGI timelines 3 months ago:
I have been trying to convince my friend for weeks now. Not 24/7 of course. I try to explain how it works and we need at least another conceptually new method, this will never cut it. He says, “nobody could have predicted any of this, so you cannot be sure. You see, ChatGPT will take all the jobs in a couple of years.”
- Comment on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows 3 months ago:
The Windows Hardware Certification program (formerly Windows Hardware Quality Labs Testing, WHQL Testing, or Windows Logo Testing) is Microsoft’s testing process which involves running a series of tests on third-party device drivers, and then submitting the log files from these tests to Microsoft for review. The procedure may also include Microsoft running their own tests on a wide range of equipment, such as different hardware and different Microsoft Windows editions.
- Comment on Microsoft points finger at the EU for not being able to lock down Windows 3 months ago:
But in this case Microsoft certified the driver. If they knew the driver included an interpreter that can run arbitrary code, they shouldn’t have certified it because they can not fully test it. If they didn’t know, then their certification test are inadequate. Most of the blame lies with the security software. If Microsoft didn’t certify it, they would have had zero fault.
- Comment on Lab-Grown Diamonds Are Everywhere. This Company Thinks It Has the Secret to Making Them High-End 3 months ago:
Aluminum jeweleries were popular in the 19th century. Light weight and shiny like silver. Then they found a cheaper way to extract aluminum from ore. Then people started using aluminum for industrial applications, made utensils from it etc. and then nobody wanted a piece of jewelry that was made from the same material as a fork. Just wanted to share.

- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
N900 and Maemo were already awesome. There was absolutely no need to rewrite the entire operating system. Damn I am still angry.
- Comment on ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it 6 months ago:
it’s not even a little bit more complicated than that. They are literally trained to predict the next token given a series of previous tokens. The way that they do that is very complicated and the amount of data they are trained on is huge. That’s why they have to give correct information sometimes to sound plausible. Providing accurate information is literally a side effect of the actual thing they are trained to do.
