They wanted you to go back to work, not in X months if and when a vaccine was available, but tomorrow, taking some bullshit drug if you needed reassurance. While they were happy working from home, triple vaxxed and double masked.

I don’t know what the intent was, only what it achieved. It is now political suicide to enforce public health mandates, so when the next pandemic hits, your boss will be able to force you to go to work in unsafe sanitary conditions and a lot of people will be cheering for it.

Lol that kind of bullshit prompt injection hasn’t worked since 2023

That’s a room temp take at best

But then how am I supposed to use your “research” to make imaginary claims on generational attention spans ?

brushing your teeth will not fix your cavities so it is delusional to do it

Alright, buddy

It’s like in poker, show one, show all

I don’t remember people being offended by the word fuck in 2000. Sure on TV it could be considered dicey but on the internet it was pretty fair game

That’s only if you are in the subset of PC enjoyers who like state of the art equipment, expensive accessories and expensive recent games.

I consider myself a PC nerd but 5K is more than I spent in the last 10 years on the hobby. I’ve built my main rig for <1K, own a few raspberries and my home server is an old work laptop. It absolutely doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby.

“i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”

Haha yeah the top execs were tripping balls if they thought some off-the-shelf product would be able to answer this kind of expert questions. That’s like trying to replace an expert craftsman with a 3D printer.

What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ? I’ve found that general “chatbot” things are hit and miss but more domain-constrained tasks (such as extracting structured entities from unstructured text) are pretty reliable even on smaller models. I’m not counting my chickens yet as my dataset is still somewhat small but preliminary testing has been very promising in that regard.

Most projects I’ve been in contact with are very aware of that fact. That’s why telemetry is so big right now. Everybody is building datasets in the hopes of fine tuning smaller, cheaper models once they have enough good quality data.

Did you listen to that hardcore history episode? It was crazy

Truly makes you think. Maybe we do, actually, live in a society 🤔

That’s the problem with imaginary enemies. They have to be both ridiculously incompetent, and on the verge of controlling the whole world. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Yeah it certainly depends on the teacher. If you’re into that kind of history, Pacome from Blast made a gigantic episode about this in his “L’empire n’a jamais pris fin” series. One of the best youtube essays i’ve ever seen in French.

I had the same feeling with planet crafter. After a while you learn to run around with just enough materials to build a room and a door and bam, the whole oxygen management mechanic is neutralized.

where was that ? My hometown is like 20km from a city that was entirely burned down and had its population eradicated during the first Albigense crusade - i swear to God it was never mentioned to me. My parents hadn’t ever heard of it either.

From reading your post it seems like you could be interested by the Jesus movement (that is the jewish followers of Jesus, before catholicism was codified and adopted by the Romans as state religion). Everything that wasn’t authoritarian fear-based catholic was branded as “gnostic heresy” and purged from the canon, but there’s some real good shit that is very close to the core message of Christ.

A recent(-ish) example of gnostic christianity is catharism, which was a heresy that lasted for a few centuries in the South of France. They had no clergy, just a caste of ascetic wise men and women who would walk the land and dispense wisdom and judgement. Very egalitarian, very spiritual, very christ-like. As you can imagine, they got crushed in one of the rare “self-crusades” in history (meaning the King of France sent his own armies to burn down cities in his own country and murder thousands upon thousands of his own subjects). As you can imagine there is not one history teacher in France who will tell you about this episode.

dear diary today on Lemmy i saw a guy who was angry at a job title

I’m not sure what you mean. Integrating LLMs in a codebase requires the use of specific tools. Sure it’s not as established and wide ranging as “frontend” but it’s still something that you need to learn and work on if you want to do it well. Kind of like, you know, a skill.
