LOL! Well, I guess they’re actively looking to get killed. What, you think we’ll turn a blind eye to this shit, you hitler-esuqe dirtbags?

If you just want it to work, and you’re coming from Windows or Mac, use Ubuntu. It’s a nice intro, and the hardware support is excellent.

Many of the programs recommend therapy first. No one wants to drink themselves to death, even though it feels like that sometimes.

The guilt and shame is brutal, and shouldn’t be used to try to change someone into behaving better. It’s like spanking you kids, which is illegal now (at least whew I’m at).

Same, but the community was great. Being around people that understand is so beneficial.

I had 2 interventions in my life and neither worked. In fact, they made it much worse for me.

I suggest that you go to AlAnon and learn a bit about alcoholism before trying anything (btw, AlAnon is not AA, but is a program to help non-alcoholics understand what they’re dealing with.)

Your friend is lucky to have you. Don’t give up on them. It truly is hellish, and they’ll need your support.

You know, you say these things, sexmeat, but never follow through :⁠-⁠P

Did you,… hrm,… did you even take classes about this stuff. Ffs, this is why this career pays well: you have to understand complicated things.

Maybe your issue is with Windows. I suggest moving away from that platform.

Dynamic libraries are essential to computing, and allow us to partition out pieces of the code. One giant library would have to be recompiled with every change.

I love it, except for the font. Pragmata Pro is what I use. I can send you a link for it if you’d like.

RISC-V will supercede it. ARM became quite a nasty company in its later years.

Oh well, good riddance.

I just want a chip manufacturer that isn’t gonna bug my home! Hopefully someone comes along, takes the RISC-V specs, and makes a truly open-source chip!

Congrats! You honestly have perfect tits.

Definitely.

Trump is a criminal and a traitor, and he and those that support him should be punished to the full extent of the law. The police that beat minorities because its fun should also.

I support the correct cause. When something is obviously wrong, I support the people that stand up.

I feel bad for you if you can’t tell the difference between right and wrong.

I really appreciate your response—thanks!

We’re totally on the same page. I get carried away because I’m so angry about the current state of affairs, and how helpless I feel to change them. Thank you for being so thoughtful and rational. We need more people like you.

It sounds like you know english words but cannot compose them. I honestly cannot parse what you said.

It is infuriating to watch people, rational people, turn a blind eye to this sort of thing. I will watch your video, and I apologize for hurting your feelings. Calling people “fuckers”, “chodes”, etc. is part of my vernacular, as with many others of my generation; you shouldn’t take it so hard. The point isn’t to degrade you, but to snap your attention.

I think you are being absurd, because our democracy is in critical danger, and you’re worried about a road. I agree that shining a laser at planes is dangerous. If you had ever been manhandled by cops, you’d understand that they’re really, really dangerous, too. I have no sympathy for cops (did you see the people they tried to horse over?). They’re dangerous, and honestly, the most dangerous part about being in jail IS the cops (having been there myself on several occasions).

You have your opinion, which unfortunately sounds founded on a life of privilege. Don’t worry, passive citizen, we won’t let them ruin the country—neither corrupt politicians or dirty, scummy cops. Sit back and enjoy the benefits we’ll give you, regardless of your inability (read: unwillingness) to help.

I don’t even think that matters much, right? Current LLMs already out-compete humans at many tasks. I think we’re already past the threshold, at least in some regards. That is to say, I don’t think there is a hard line because it depends on what your testing criteria are.

The courts are corrupt, you joker. At the end of the day, big cases go to the supreme court, which is stocked full of completely corrupt people (and you know this!). Your “nuance” is part of the reason we are here, having to take drastic action.

You are blind if you think that peaceful, government-condoned protests will change a fucking thing.

This isn’t the 1960’s. Those in charge have learned from those lessons. Drastic change is not peaceful, but it is exactly what we need. Protest SHOULD be disruptive, like strikes, which actually affect change! While those protesting (actual patriots, take notes) are risking their lives (literally), you’re slightly inconvenienced. Fuck off.

I’d take anarchy over the goddamn passive bullshit you’re spewing any day of the week, and I’m not alone. Trump will not be president again; not in my lifetime.

No, the point is that there are not effective ways to protest anymore, by design! And the way I felt on January 6th was pure rage! I have zero sympathy for these fuckers.

You can sit by and watch the country crumble and succumb to corruption. I won’t, and millions more won’t either. Sorry you can’t get to work on time, but look at the bigger picture.

Defending the police state… what a chode.

So when it happens, you’ll change your mind? My point is that what we have today is based on interactions in the human brain: neural networks. You can say, “They’re just guessing the next word based on mathematical models”, but isn’t that exactly what you’re doing?

Point to the reason why what comes out of your mouth is any different. Is it because your network is bigger and more complicated? If that’s the case GPT-4 is closer to being human than GPT-3 was, being a larger model.

I just don’t get your point at all.
