I live in a country with a propensity for dark cement tiles, i really doubt panels are causing an uptick in heat

Of course they are why wouldn’t they?

Any change in albedo modifies how much radiation is absorbed and emitted and the wavelengths it’s emitted at.

Sure one tile doesn’t do much but it does do something by a measurable degree. Even if tiny, it’s still quantifiable.

LLMs cannot provide critique

They can simulate what critique might look like by way of glorified autocomplete. But it cannot actually provide critique, because they do not reason, they do not critically think. They match their outputs based upon the most statistically likely interpretation of the input in what you could think of as essentially a 3D word cloud.

Any critique that you get from an llm is going to be extremely limited and shallow (And there’s for the critical critique you require). The longer your text the less likely the critique that you receive is going to be relevant to the depth in which it may be needed.

It’s good for finding mistakes, it’s good for paraphrasing, it’s good for targeting. It cannot actually critique, which requires a level of consideration that is impossible for LLMs today. There’s a reason why text written by llms tends to have distinguishing features, or lack of, that’s a bland statistically generated amalgamation of human writing. It’s literally a “common denominator” generator.

I like how many of the new top level comments on here are going the way of Reddit already.

One-liners trying to be funny or make puns instead of actually engaging in conversation, indistinguishable from bots. :(

Just because you don’t want it doesn’t mean others don’t.

And just because you don’t know much about the actual tech product itself doesn’t mean that it’s as narrow as you consider it to be.

There is a ton of vapid hype that everyone including myself is getting sick and tired of. I’m more than happy to recognize that. However, there are still real world problems and continued advancements being made daily.

It’s not all about LLMs either, there are many other types of science being done to develop improve and augment various other flavors of artificial intelligence. This has been a pretty constant trend for at least the last 10 years, we’ve just had a recent explosion in language capabilities with the introduction of generative AI. Thus fueling the hype.

That’s a really weird stance that I keep seeing on here which is to be proud of being ignorant. Being proud of hating something without actually understanding what it is. Being proud of not knowing how something works so that you can be more contrare.

Have you ever used something they made? Did it meet your standard of being “good work”?

I mean you’re ignorance of the products that they build or work on doesn’t precipitate their badness. Let’s start with the entire developer ecosystem that they have their hands deep in, it’s a pretty damn good ecosystem.

You probably need to check your bias because it’s leaking, negatively affecting your decision making.

Any company of this size is going to have shit products great products and literally thousands and tens of thousands of projects in between. You seem to be familiar with one product line, of hundreds or even thousands.

Nfts were a scam from the start something that has no actual purpose utility or value being given value through hype.

Generative AI is very different. In my honest opinion you have to have your head in the sand if you don’t believe that AI is only going to incrementally improve and expand in capabilities. Just like it has year over year for the last 5 to 10 years. And just like for the last decade it continues to solve more and more real-world problems in increasingly effective manners.

It isn’t just constrained to llms either.

I’m not sure why you’re so dismissive of this? It’s kind of asinine.

Does everyone everywhere only ever use computers in an enclosed room? Is everyone with something value to exfiltrate easily accessible to kidnap and beat with a wrench?

This is valuable for corporate espionage, political purposes, or for nation states. If miniaturized, even easier for targeted attacks where it might be difficult to inject malware, or for broad attacks on office workers.

And the best part is that it doesn’t leave a trace which beating someone with a wrench and malware would do…

No, still a shit show at airports at the time of writing.

Lots of kiosks, screens, and other devices still show BSODs in airports. Systems still slow and unstable.

Likely similar in other industries.

Naw, they’ll find some way to “incentivize” (punish you for not) viewing ads and enforce it with eye tracking.

Super glue seems appropriate 🤔

“unfortunately your In-Flight Engagement Actions ™️ did not meet the requirements to qualify you for in flight perks such as entertainment and meals”

“Please ensure you are looking directly at the screen while ads are playing to accumulate In-Flight Engagement Actions ™️”

Coming soon to an airline near you.

You… Are kidding right?

You would have to be living under a proverbial rock to have no inkling that Spotify is a product still in use, or be willfully ignorant.

It’s like saying:

• People still use Google?
• People still drive cars?
• People still use Windows?
• People still go to churches?

…etc

Not that I agree that we should use Spotify. But playing pretend that they are small, irrelevant, and have no effect on the industry they are in isn’t doing us any favors when it comes to pushing back against it.

Wait why is that commit still up if this is a data leak?

Where can one get a hold of these documents?

This appears to be the original blog post, but I’m not finding a way to download this. https://sparktoro.com/blog/an-anonymous-source-shared-thousands-of-leaked-google-search-api-documents-with-me-everyone-in-seo-should-see-them/

Is this not leaked past this one person?

Edit 2: No, these appear to be normal public docs.

Edit: seems these are the docs? https://hexdocs.pm/google_api_content_warehouse/0.4.0/GoogleApi.ContentWarehouse.V1.Model.QualityNavboostCrapsCrapsData.html

Gaslight Obstruct Project

It fits weirdly well

Yes that is exactly what I said…

It is society’s responsibility to inform protect and educate those that are less capable in order to maintain the functioning of that society. Otherwise that society breaks down and falls apart. “A rising tide raises all ships”

My point here is that we as oregonians should be doing better. Instead of adopting nationalism and referring to each other as “The Other”, we should be looking at the root cause and not attacking each other’s throats while the true enemy just watches and laughs at us peons doing what peons do best: Ignorantly blaming each other.

It’s you that loses as well as them that’s the point I’m trying to make. Giving a right wing state more voting power diminishes the voting power of Oregon.

You’re willing to harm part of your own body in order to spite the other part is what my poorly worded phrase is meant to convey. You’re willing to harm yourself in order to spite the eastern part of the state.

**Stop being so divisive, ultra nationalism isn’t what we need here. **

The fact that you keep referring to a large portion of your state as “They”, by overgeneralizing and dismissing is a classic symptom of nationalism. I already stated that it’s barely 50% want this, that means that slightly less than half of your fellow oregonians are still sane and you’re willing to condemn them…

Ironically this is the same kind of thought process that separatists have when it comes to their own form of nationalism.

They are welcome to try, fail, and ask to come back. But, like a shitty romantic partner, they better be on their knees when they ask, and be ready for a few changes in the relationship.

All those flyers and advertisements going around point to comments like yours as a reason why they should go to Idaho because obviously the other side of the state doesn’t care about them and won’t listen to them. They quote news articles and online sentiment, which is real, tangible, evidence for these people.

You are literally part of their advertising, and are providing them with content to use. This sort of narrow-minded thinking is part of the problem and you can’t even see that…

See: Hanlon’s Razor

Let these people suffer

Hell no what kind of cancerous divisive attitude is this?

It’s barely 50% of the voters that are voting for this and they only vote for it because they’ve been exposed to nearly four plus years of constant propaganda about it.

Instead of shooting your own foot to spite your hand, how about we stand together as oregonians and push back against the propaganda machine that’s actually driving these things?

If it gains them more political power, probably.

And none of these intellectually challenged voters realize the consequences of what that would actually mean for these counties.

It’s essentially Oregon’s version of brexit. With no one learning from the past.
