FaceDeer

@FaceDeer@fedia.io

Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.

Spent many years on Reddit and then some time on kbin.social.

You think they don't have the originals archived?

"Model collapse" can be easily avoided by keeping old human data with new synthetic data in the training set. The old archives of Reddit content from before there was AI are still around.

Buddy, I just want to type a search term and get results.

Telemetry can help them do better at providing that. Devs aren't magical beings, they don't know what's working and what's not unless someone tells them.

No, this analogy would make more sense if it was a matter of recording a large number of interactions between customers and tellers to ensure that the window isn't interfering with their interactions. Is the window the right size? Can the customer and teller hear each other through it? Is that little hole at the bottom large enough to let through the things they need to physically exchange? If you deploy the windows and then never gather any telemetry you have no idea whether it's working well or if it could be improved.

The analogy isn't perfect, no analogy ever is.

In this case the content of the search is all that really matters for the quality of the search. What else would you suggest be recorded, the words-per-minute typing speed, the font size? If they want to improve the search system they need to know how it's working, and that involves recording the searches.

It's anonymized and you can opt out. Go ahead and opt out. There'll still be enough telemetry for them to do their work.

The echo-chamberiness of Lemmy is different from Reddit, but still a thing unfortunately. It'll really depend on the community you're in, but since the population of the Fediverse (and especially the Threadiverse) is very small compared to Reddit you tend to have the same people cropping up a lot. I haven't been banned from anywhere (that I know of - I don't actually know if I would get notified) but I find myself hammered with downvotes more frequently here than on Reddit when I say something unpopular.

I'd say, mess around a bit and see.

Why hasn't it been incorporated into IDEs until now?

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

To the contrary, I see code like that all the time in my career. I've written some.

The example shown was specifically selected because it's funny, not because it's representative.

The fact that you called the tool "chatgpt4" suggests you're not experienced with copilot. They're not the same thing even if they're using similar LLMs as a component.

Within IDEs people go out of their way to install Intellisense so that "shit randomly pops up while they're typing." There are companies whose whole existence depends on people wanting that to happen.

Very odd. Where I live you're not supposed to return the bottles with the cap, they're different plastics and the recyclers don't want the caps. You're supposed to throw the caps away in the regular trash.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

I leave the little ring on and nobody's complained yet. I was just told to remove the caps one time, so I kept on throwing those out since then.

FaceDeer,

As I said, someone did complain about the caps.

Honestly, I've been using Bing a lot in recent months thanks to its integrated AI. Google is now just for when I know I want a specific web page, when it's a general answer I want then nothing beats Bing Chat. So this is a good move by Google.

Now the effort is going into finding reasons not to like things, it seems.

Given he's into cross-species dating he can't be that good a boy.

Maybe, but Trump has already had a weird vendetta against wind turbines for a long time. They had the audacity of being near enough to one of his golf courses that he imagined they might be visible (they're not) and reduce its value. Ever since waking from that night-terror he's been on the warpath.

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence, so I don't see anything wrong here. The character's using a more generic term when talking to a layperson.

Got to run out of stuff to burn someday, though. Then things will go back to normal.

So, Microsoft recognized and responded to all the complaints by removing the feature that people were objecting to.

Resulting headline: "Microsoft is trying to hide the evidence that they were thinking of doing that thing we hated! Hate them harder!"

Do people want companies to just ignore complaints completely because there's no way to satisfy anyone anyway?

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

I mean... progress? I guess? The new statue guy doesn't hate as many people...

Yeah, why aren't regular folks building reusable heavy-lift rocket systems?

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

And even if SLS is an example of non-private rocketry, it's hardly something that should be touted as a positive example. Especially not when launch pace is your criterion.

FaceDeer,
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

Some are, but they still don't build rockets. I think there's some other factor that's important.

How Zionism became a synonym for violence and oppression (www.theguardian.com)

For decades, Joe Biden has proudly declared that he is a Zionist, and he has repeated that claim since Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel. But for the student anti-war protests gripping the US, the words “Zionist” and “Zionism” have become a watchword – pejorative and emblematic of the violent state policies driving...

I wouldn't exactly call Israel "secular" when it is built around the concept of a particular religious group having special status.
