Then, the year of the freebsd desktop came many years ago when apple released MacOS

He’s getting the french culture alright

Oh, it probably wasn’t about an existing language, but about some guy studying what would become high level languages. Like studying linkers and symbolic representation of programs

LLM are not the path to go forward to simulate a person, this is a fact. By design they cannot reason, it’s not a matter of advancement, it’s literally how they work as a principle. It’s a statistical trick to generate random texts that look like thought out phrases, no reasoning involved.

If someone tells you they might be the way forward to simulate a human, they are scamming you. No one who actually knows how they work says that unless they are a CEO of a trillion dollar company selling AI.

I don’t like it because people don’t shut up about it and insist everyone should use it when it’s clearly stupid.

LLMs are language models, they don’t actually reason (not even reasoning models), when they nail a reasoning it’s by chance, not by design. Everything that is not language processing shouldn’t be done by an LLM. Viceversa, they are pretty good with language.

We already had automated reasoning tools. They are used for industrial optimization (i.e. finding optimal routes, finding how to allocate production, etc.) and no one cared about those.

As if it wasn’t enough. The internet is now full of slop. And hardware companies are warmongering an arms race that is fueling an economic bubble. And people are being fired to be replaced by something that will not actually work in the long run because it does not reason.

I’ll try to find it later, I read he said that in a book from Martin Davis. He didn’t speak about Fortran, I just used it as an analogy

Neural networks don’t simulate a brain, it’s a misconception caused by their name. They have nothing to do with brain neurons

If Turing was alive he would say that LLMs are wasting computing power to do something a human should be able to do on their own, and thus we shouldn’t waste time studying them.

Which is what he said about compilers and high level languages (in this instance, high level means like Fortran, not like python)

Most restaurants serve alcohol and are good for kids. What’s your point?

I think you can read the address in letters you find around in Central Executive

Telephone exchanger. And as a consequence a lot of espionage occurred there, but just because it’s a big telephone exchanger, not because that’s its purpose.

Nope, the oldest house is just on the other side of the street

at the 33rd round you do

Where is part one of this meme? I need to send it to the group chat

What the fuck is an Alfredo?

There is a meme trend of finding inexistent references to people and characters in unrelated stuff, and then pointing it out as a clickbait YouTube thumbnail. In this meme, I came across the verb “trumps” and interpreted it as the plural of the name “Trump”, and complemented it with red arrows and fake PNGs of boomer emojis.

Example of this kind of meme from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2shitposterclub/comments/15bj90d/tf2_reference_spotted_in_my_friends_text_not/

Your intuition is on the right track, but it works “the other way around”.

RGB are additive primary colours, because the colour you see when you look at something that emits light is the actual colour of the light. And so when you mix two coloured lights, the colours add up (additive colours). And adding every colour gives you white.

CMY are instead subtractive colour, because when you look at something that does not emit light, the colour you see is just the light that bounces off of it, while some colours get absorbed. So when you mix paints, the resulting paint absorbs more colours, and you only see what’s left, so the colours subtract down (subtractive colours). And subtracting everything gives you black.

P.s. mathematically, any three independent colours could be used as primary. Independent means that you can’t get any of the three by mixing the other two (i.e. blue, red, and purple are not independent). But those two triplets are the most obvious choices. You might recall that as a kid, they taught you that primary colours were Red, Blue and Yellow instead of CMY, and yet mixing worked fine.

What disconnecting problem?

My system should be fully updated, I will try an Xbox 360 cabled controller
