I’m not saying you’re wrong. But man haves lots of people who don’t know what a war crime is really devalued the accusation. So much so I read yours and I just assume it isn’t.(again idk)



Yeah I don’t find this article particularly insightful. If we don’t have troops on the ground to prevent attacks in the straight, it would be always be vulnerable despite superiority. Shit if we don’t control the land, they could drop a bunch jet skis with bombs in the water in the middle of the night. The straight is only 21 miles wide at some points


I mean you can read it in your app and they're not just stored on your phone. E2E just means in transport from what I understand.


E2EE means end-to-end, where the ends are the participants in the chat. They can read it on your phone, but not on their servers. They need their app to separately transmit the plaintext to their servers to read it.


Which is technically possible.


So literally what I was implying


I think AI literally makes even being wrong feel like getting something done. And that is the addictive part for people.


"Near-Miss" effect: https://harprehab.com/blogs/the-psychology-of-risk-why-gambl...

I believe that's the strongest pattern in LLM gambling. Was listening the Syntax and they described that "Even though theLLM did it wrong 4 times, that 5th time could be right, so why not just go!"; paraphrased of course.

It also explains the meta-LLM business, where all these CEO types put in some question and because the LLM just knows all these words, they believe it's valuable because it's "almost" correct, even when that last correction might be forever elusive because these machines arn't thinking, they're patterning a highly regularized language beneath the more loose descriptions.

There'll definitely be a winner in the AI bubble, but it'll be seen after it pops.


Well-put. My "sunk costs" will be redeemed if I just persevere slightly longer, so walking away would mean an unnecessary loss.


Look at all this text I have! It can't be worthless right?!


"If it were me and some coworker that made all that text in an afternoon, it would represent a lot of real labor and thought and billable-hours, so it must be valuable!"


A bit off topic, but I sometimes wonder if OpenOffice would have become as prevalent without wireless ANC headsets be coming the default for focus.


You’re missing the point of a spec


The spec is as much for humans as it is the machine, yes?


Spec should be made before hand and agreed on by stakeholders. It says what it should do. So it’s for whoever is implementing, modifying, and/or testing the code. And unfortunately devs have a tendency of poor documentation


Software development is only 70ish years old and somehow we have already forgotten the very very first thing we learned.

"Just get bulletproof specs that everyone agrees on" is why waterfall style software development doesn't work.

Now suddenly that LLMs are doing the coding, everyone believes that changes?


I’m confused, are you saying that making a design plan and high level spec before hand doesn’t work?


I've seen it happen. Things that seem reasonable on a spec paper, then you go to implement and you realize it's contradictory or utter nonsense.


I mean yeah it happens all the time but you need to start somewhere. But I worked in safety critical self driving firmware and rtl verification before that, so documentation was a necessity


I mean I’ve run red lights but only because I live in a city and there are times where it would be impossible to turn left due to oncoming traffic. So you poke your nose out a bit so the other directions see you and turn when incoming stops but before new directions start.


If I lend a neighbor my kitchen knife and they murder someone with it, should I be liable?


You absolutely can be, especially if you knew, or should have known, that the knife was likely to be used illegally.

While a bit more extreme than your example, there have been multiple cases where the parents of a school shooter have been held responsible because they provided access to a weapon when there were warning signs.

On the less extreme end of the spectrum, this is the same reason why you have to pretend that you are buying a "water pipe for tobacco" and not a bong if you don't want to get kicked out of the headshop (in places where that is still illegal).


3 year before the murder: You are probably fine, IANAL

10 minutes before the murder: Expect to get an accusation of accessory to murder, conspiracy to murder and a few additional tomes of the penal code. We all know you are innocent, but you should better find a good lawyer just in case instead of wasting your last free minutes arguing on the internet.


When subpoenaed, you'd be obligated to tell the court who you gave the knife to.

But if you'd like to tell the fall, I'm sure some prosecutors wouldn't dig too hard to find the guilty party.


It seems in this case they’re not asking, they’re accusing and saying I need to prove otherwise. I think that is substantively different

Edit: subpoena is not a criminal charge afaik is what I’m saying


But even better, is they actually leverage the performance per watt improvements to shrink the battery and maintain the price.


What a snake
