I had to look it up, 20 years of using, and customizing, Linux and I have never heard the word ricing before in this context.

My grandparents still had dialup in the 2010s. I can remember in the early 2000s waiting 20-30 minutes for a Strong Bad Email to start playing so I could show my cousins.

Flash is what really changed things.

They are going to have to get a hard boiled detective on the case.

I used to work at a place that actually changed the name from Human Resources Dept. to Human Capital Dept. and none of the higher ups could figure out why that pissed everybody off.

It dealt with debit and credit card transactions…

I like how you just assumed that what I was doing wasn’t security oriented…

Why? I didn’t know python until one of my clients decided they would only use it for everything going forward. It took me all of a day to start converting C# code and this was a decade before LLMs.

Knowledge of a specific language does not reflect development skill.

If you mean the Series X and the Series S, the X has quite a bit more power and an optical drive that the S lacks.

If you mean the One X/S and the Series X/S, it’s roughly the difference between a PS4 Pro and a PS5.

Close:

Xbox

Xbox 360 ( later 360 S and then finally 360 E )

Xbox One

Xbox One S / Xbox One X (2 different consoles at the same time)

Xbox Series S / Xbox Series X (also two different consoles)

As a dev who’s been unemployed for 18 months your last sentence was pretty much my first thought when reading the article.

No women in pants: check

Moo-ose …

Moo-ose …

I’ve been a software developer for over 15 years, I’ve never used one. It’s not necessary at all.

The fact that you think it’s bad at one thing in your list but adequate at the others is part of the problem. It’s bad at all of those things, because it’s a chatbot. Admittedly a very advanced chatbot, but still just a chatbot.

The most important take away here is what of your list was impossible before LLMs? Because the reality is that absolutely everything that you mentioned was possible before LLMs. All that LLMs have added is the chat interface part.

Granted, the technology that allowed LLM’s is likely to be very useful and already has been in places like protein folding, but that happened before LLMs.

You didn’t actually say what you think LLM’s are enhancing. Just that you feel that they are. Honestly I think that’s the biggest part, they’re big shiny things that look like they’re doing a lot. But they actually aren’t. LLMs are chatbots and they will never be anything more than just chatbots.

The number of times that I have been downvoted into oblivion for pointing out that the Internet is not the World Wide Web is too damn high.

I have one and it isn’t that hard to read. The top is still 12 but the bottom is midnight with 6 and 18 in the 9 and 3 place respectively.

Honestly it kinda looks more like a North American Saturn than a Genesis/MegaDrive or Master System. In which case the batarang controller would be slightly more accurate.

There is no model that can be trained in real time currently, and one instance isn’t going to offer anything to the model as far as new training data goes.
