The intended audience of “stochastic parrot” was other AI researchers who do use the term “stochastic” on a regular basis.

Throwing an LLM at it is probably one of the most effective calls for maintainers. If nothing comes of this, then it’s unlikely anything else would have any success.

If you define “user” to be a set that excludes anyone capable of modifying the weights, then by definition, no user can modify the weights.

Any criticism about users being unable to modify weights becomes vacuous, so it’s not an interpretation that makes sense.

Strength training is to runners what cardio is to strength athletes.

What do you mean you don’t wait until five different manual interventions are required before you update?

They never claimed that it was the whole thing. Only that it was part of it.

How is this untrue? Generative pre-training is literally training the model to predict what might come next in a given text.

We have the term AGI because we sometimes want to communicate something more specific, and AI is too broad of a term.

So much tech support has moved to Discord. That’s worth keeping around.

Of those who regularly donate (or think of donating) to FOSS projects, how many of them would’ve even had sudo cross their mind as a potential recipient for those donations?

What you want is a distribution-aware contextual binary search. With whatever information you have (appearance, personality, vocabulary, etc), you can come up with a probability distribution in the space of possible ages and start your guess with the value at the 50th percentile. Then depending on whether the true age is higher or lower, your next guess will be either the 25th or 75th percentile. Rinse and repeat.

In reality, the way most people intuitively do agree guessing is already an approximation of this procedure.

I would argue that the flexibility of Arch is what makes it a perfect base for other distros.

I’m not sure where the goal post was to begin with. I just thought it would be important to be aware of how we’re all contributing to the project so that we can make an informed decision. I haven’t thought this through enough to have an opinion on whether we should boycott either Framework or Lemmy.

You’re not directly paying them, but by being here and contributing to the community, you’re providing value to others who would then go on to donate to the devs.

Do you use this for physical machines too?

Calories are expensive, and I’m not made of money.

Go fuck yourselves lol […]

Who? What? I don’t see anyone with any 300+ upvote posts, let alone a consistent stream of them. If you’re taking about the account you just responded to, they commented 6 hours ago. There’s 9 other comments that are older than that.

Um, I use rechargeable batteries in all my kid’s toys? With how often they need to be replaced, these batteries have already long paid for themselves.

And if you forget or don’t have time to plug them in to recharge?

For me, it’s a matter of restoring the convenience and UX that you’ve given up by leaving the big providers.
