Comment Re:LLMs don't hallucinate (Score 1) 48

Agree about the meaning of "hallucinate" in this context, but...

You can't be sure your brain is deterministic. It may well have features that operate at the quantum level, with the implied genuine uncertainty. Transistors are normally scaled to avoid that problem. This isn't exactly "free will" in any normal sense, but it *is* non-deterministic behavior, at least as far as we can tell. (Yeah, superdeterminism is a valid interpretation of quantum theory, and so is the multi-world interpretation and a few others that take the entire universe as context. So in some sense it's still deterministic, but it's a really weird sense. And as far as the Copenhagen interpretation [i.e. "shut up and calculate"] goes even in that sense it's non-deterministic.)

I know Donald Trump has made you feel emboldened to express outright racism, but it is important for you to know that you are still racist garbage that nobody will ever like, let alone love. Projecting that self-hate on others only makes you uglier and more pathetic.

  (Also sad is thar even with the US president at your back, youâ(TM)re still too cowardly to post this on your main).

I can see why they ignored it for so long: having multiple places to put dot files for a single app is irritating.

Not nearly as irritating as having dozens of random dot subdirectories in the root of your home directory.

The first issue costs a few developers a few days of their time to fix. The second is a problem that nags millions of users for eternity.
