Everybody is saying their tax accountant messed up and the models caught it which makes me think, why aren't tax accountants doing the same thing lot of us are doing - ask LLM to do the prep and they just review and finalize?
Can't be good getting caught with mistakes and losing customers?
At this point, talking about more AI is probably more negative sentiment in the market instead of positive. GOOG was already down and got slapped even more post earnings numbers.
I play block blast classic mode with adguard and don't see any ads.
Isn't the onus of proving the violation is on the complaint? So now she has to fight two cases and one of them is against someone who wields lot of power in the other case? Not saying we shouldn't hold the prosecutors' feet to fire but there are practical considerations.
> It may not be your taste, but it certainly has taste, and its taste will only get better with more training. Yours, if you use it, will atrophy, as you reduce contact with the details of your problems.
I would argue that it has a collection of tastes and mixes and matches them with the same effect if you prepared a dish that is an amalgamation of recipes from ten different people. It is somewhat similar to what you want to make, it will fulfill your nutritional needs but boy does it not taste good. Our PR reviews and steering the agent is nothing but us adding different ingredients / herbs / spices until it is palatable.
Wonder if the law firms are saying the same thing about software. And everyone else is about things they use. Basically the entire job market. Will you still say it's great when it is the society as a whole?
The margin of error is razor thin. As tight as a global supply chain. I'm worried about your living on the edge like that.
Is there a similar book but in Java or Python?
Ahh, obviously. Seems the coffee isn't working for me anymore :(
> One printed IP/ICMP "ping" packet sent by carrier pigeon per RFC 1149.
Is that the entire packet shown in the picture frame? So the price is 1k+ USD for the frame? Because anyone can type that and get it printed/framed for considerably less. What am I missing?
> Team sunrise, or team “it’s 2am and I’m still up”? (close-ended)
Why so weirdly binary? Sleeping at 11pm and getting up well after sunrise is not an option anymore?
> What kind of traveler are you, really? (close-ended, with options like adventure junkie, culture seeker, and I don’t travel much)
Isn't this the type of question that should be open ended? How about being a dynamic kind of traveller? Happy to go if someone else is organizing the trip and happy to stay if I have to do it.
Such a typical Singaporean approach - even fun has to be funnelled into MCQs.
> I don't even try to use the first answer anymore but ask it again to check its previous answer against verified and authoritative sources/documentation and will come up with many corrections. And then I do it again, and maybe a fourth time.
Maybe all they need to show massive improvement is a for loop of four iterations with the loop body being "are you sure, check the docs?" and return the result at the end.
When I was trying to go upstream having used Pop!_OS for a while, I installed Kubuntu first and even though the install went through, the distro had problems getting to the desktop after post-install reboot. Even though my laptop is a Thinkpad which is supposed to be very well supported. I took this as a sign of things to come and shrugged off my hangover of rpm hell(!) and tried with Fedora+KDE instead. Best decision I made. I have been using it for a few months now and experience has been absolutely seamless and smooth sailing - highly recommended.
tldr; they passed the administration of power from the corrupt government officials to Tata power (part of the Tata conglomerate) and BSES (part of another conglomerate Reliance). They modernized the setup and closed loopholes and avenues of corruption and also made stealing of power by the corrupt sections of public difficult.
Most people I know working in banks etc are using Co-pilot. Not because it is any good, because it integrates with the entire MS ecosystem - management pushes it. I would suspect that is the main driver of MS's AI penetration numbers for desktop-level non-API usage.
That has been my experience with DeepSeek after the price increase. I was so used to it being so frugal, it took couple of top-ups for me to realize that it wasn't the budget-king anymore.
1. Implement feature and write tests for the code
2. Make sure tests pass
3. <Every now and then> Review code for quality and fix - make sure tests pass.
4. Go to #1
Overly simplistic? Yes. But I would wager that this can go a long way, even for vibe coders.
Uneducated guess: wine is seen as more of an "older people's" drink making it uncool for gen-Z?
Reliability has always been an essential factor of a commercial product. "It works" was the baseline. If it didn't, people simply won't buy it.
Never before we had a product that the buyer themselves accepted, so readily, despite the inaccuracies and yet the output was considered worth it just because when it worked, it was great.
Well maybe, other than dice but then it's unpredictability is why we bought it.
But then the quality of LLM output is also closer to dice roll so maybe they are not that dissimilar after all.
Frankly for all it's issues, plantUML has been the most customizable and flexible for me. Mermaid is fine for diagrams where you don't need to customize the look and feel much; it starts to become a pain once you need to. I just wish Obsidian had as a good a support for plantUML as it does for Mermaid.
How is this:
> people who want more "regulation"
Same as this:
> who believe states with high levels of paper regulation
I _do_ want real regulations with teeth against shitty companies like Meta. Just because California has done a performative take doesn't make expecting more controls on these scumbags a wrong thing to expect. Bad execution doesn't make the idea wrong, your scare-quotes be damned.
For me, it was the agent that decided about plan mode, when that happened. Most of the time I didn't invoke it but kept discussing and tweaking and if the context was close to full, make it dump it out to disk and start a new session. I felt like that worked more flexibly for me because I could keep steering and adjusting until it was what I wanted. At that point I made it write a detailed spec. Like my homegrown plan mode.
The "standard" plan mode felt too stifling.
I am reminded of the cartoons where the car kept going faster and faster, the driver kept pushing on the pedal, parts started to fly out, the gauges started to go in circles, smoke started to billow out of everywhere and then boom!
I guess we just wait for the boom.
Well they had actual people who understood the code - because they wrote it and had a mental model pretty deep. Now the people owning the code don't understand it.
Won't you be worried if your mechanic didn't understand your car but offloaded it to a robot that made mistakes all the time?
It is wilful negligence because there are upsides (look at our almighty AI) without downsides (we better spend effort in making our sandbox rock solid or we will be punished by regulations).
> That's also not true either. Toxicity leads to backlash.
Wait till AI driven job losses really start to mount. Nothing divides people faster than an empty stomach. The republicans are leaving a poison pill - they will profit from AI and when democrats win and the job losses really start to hit hard, the democrats will be left holding the blame bucket. Obviously they are not exactly crying hoarse for AI safeguards/job protections either because national security/donors etc.
The quality of the government reflects the quality of the majority.
The lowering of the quality barrier of entry to power for the politicians enabled by the glorification of stupidity via the megaphone of social media and the resultant divided electorate has given rise to the assholes nakedly profiting from it.
No matter how toxic you are, you can amass support at the speed of light.
It is basically downhill from here.
The build quality of Surface seems quite good, seems like unibody aluminum.
What I'm more interested is in that the entire model is based on us being reduced to walking talking living breathing coin wallets. It's like a planet scale game where the companies are the players and we carry the loot.
We use a great chunk of our lifespan to procure the coins and every company is designed to extract as many coins from us as possible.
What happens to this game/real world when this model collapses? We can't procure, they can't extract. What then?
