Thanks.

And I’m all for em dashes. After all, I started using them after reading enough books. It’s just that particular construct that strikes me as especially LLM-y.

Context switching isn’t just X — it’s Y.

Ugh, AI has ruined statements like this for me. Even though the rest of the article looks like it could have been written by a human, starting off with this just sours the whole thing.

How has this whole saga not been an obvious indictment of ‘the free market?’

Big players shouldn’t be allowed to gobble up all the resources needed by small ones. How is it not obvious that they need to wait until production increases to meet their needs before embarking on their little project?

Now show the output for an 8b model. The only one I’m capable of running

let’s be real, these things never get ‘confirmed.’

Then I hope you enjoy the system you have because it will never change.

Just because the software is running on your device doesn’t mean it can’t phone home. You might not care about your local storage but 4GB is pretty steep for some of us.

Not to mention the performance impact of actually running the thing.

I’ve used Firefox since 2004 and never once thought about using Chrome.

Why would Perl 6 and Tool Command Language do this

Making no mistakes is a much higher standard than that which we hold to ourselves. Why are people moving the goalposts of intelligence or usefulness behind perfection?

People are in for a rude awakening when we discover that ‘next token prediction’ is what intelligence means after all.

Oh no i’m terrified to lose my “learning velocity.”

holy corporate word salad

ffs, all I’m hearing is that they plan to fuck with it a lot in upcoming months, which can only be bad news

They already do. They just want to make it easier

I dunno, I’m sort of underwhelmed.

• use the smallest data type you need for a given purpose (which you don’t really need to worry about on modern hardware for integer types)
• use bitwise arithmetic when possible
• use fake pathfinding when possible (in this case random walk), and when not possible, limit search depth
• don’t do collision detection on thousands of guests; allow them to phase through each other

This is all fairly basic stuff I would hope any game dev would be aware of.

What’s wrong with providing it as a package? Why does it have to be part of the OS?

There will be plenty of distros that don’t. Ubuntu tracks as the first one that would.

I’m shocked by how well the US does compared to other countries. I would have thought that it is very easy to be a conspiracy theorist when your country has death panels in the form of health insurance companies denying treatments.
