  And I don’t care if something is written by AI. As people we care about the quality of the output.

  We know AI by default just creates slop but with a human in the loop, it’s possible to get inspiration for scenes, brainstorming, discuss ideas etc.

  I think a good writer would use it this way.

  Yeah, but the kernel is a low-level module that handles hardware, memory, and processes—it’s not what users interact with directly, so sharing the same kernel doesn’t make it all that similar as you’d think.

  What makes Linux feel like ‘Linux’ to users is the stuff on top: the userland—bash, coreutils, package managers, X11/Wayland, etc. Android replaces almost all of that, so even though it uses the Linux kernel, it doesn’t feel like Linux.

  I gotta say, I actually enjoyed the time programming for BlackBerry. It was the only time I actually did C++/Qt professionally. And the APIs were very inspired on the iOS/MacOS ones, so it was kinda easy for me to migrate later to iOS.

  But just the same way, the guys in the university lab back then got a few BB10 devices just for sending apps to their app store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually know for a fact many kiwi there just give it a good morning to raise the numbers.

  But the fact it, I have friends in different software consultancies and each one of them is trying to sell their ChatGPT wrapper to other companies very expensively and forcing their employees to use it as a “gotta use our own tool” argument, or pushing it into stuff that they have no place in, but because it might grant those people promotions (since the non tech people will get impressed). It’s a shirty state of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a bit too dismissive. I’ve had a lot of interesting chats with LLMs that led me to find out what I didn’t understand about soldering. As an example I’m reading a book explaining some practices of Structured Concurrency in Swift and many times I asked ChatGPT is the author is correct about some phrasing that seemed wrong to me. And ChatGPT was able to explain why that was right in that context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frequent TikTok users in Taiwan more likely to agree with pro-China narratives, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not the right analogy here. The better analogy would be something like:

  Your neighbor shows up with a document saying your land belongs to his land. You said no way, you have connections with someone important that says your house is yours and you’re armed to your teeth if they want to invade your house. But now your son says he thinks your house belongs to your neighbor, and he’s likely waiting until you’re old enough to possibly give it up.

  I suppose that’s… better than a war in the future?

  In reality, this doesn’t affect the existing batteries we have, it’s just for future battery technology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a difference between OpenAI storing conversations and the LLM being able to search all your previous conversations in every clean session you start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But the fact they OpenAI stored all input typed doesn’t mean you can make a prompt and ChatGPT will use it as context, unless you had that memory feature turned on (which allowed you to explicitly “forget” what you choose from the context).

  You’re confusing what it means OpenAI to have a conversation stored and ChatGPT using that text and searchable context for every prompt you make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe for training new models, which is a totally different thing. This update is like everything you type will be stored and used as context.

  I already never share any personal thing on these cloud-based LLMs, but it’s getting more and more important to have a local private LLM on your computer.

  It’s more accurate to say they might be, but not necessarily. China is very aware of the benefits of keeping ahead technologically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MIT introduced a smart assistant for LLM⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah, but the article is about a paper that’s showing a strategy to improve planning capabilities in comparison to using LLMs as they are currently. It’s just research, they’re not saying to use that in production now, and I’d say it isn’t something the researchers are even worried about for this particular artifact.
