You keep making claims without any evidence.

These are basic facts, not nonsense speculation like you've been posting.

Not once have you done any such thing.

You must be illiterate as well. Why are you here? Just to waste everyone's time with pointless bullshit?

Not an easy decision!

If you weren't a complete moron, you could actually evaluate the claims on their merit.

Sorry, kid, your hero has gone senile. Get over it.

I like my Versa but I wouldn't tow even a thousand pounds with it without brakes. It's really excellent to drive under most conditions but if you really push it hard then its vector starts to become slightly indeterminate. Mine is in fairly good shape, it's been gone over in some detail and the only thing very wrong besides the nonworking AC is that the front subframe bushes are starting to develop some slop, but they ought to have years in them even around here where it's lumpy and bumpy.

I think Nissan USA probably made the right call for this country. I've done some towing here and there, and I've driven the Versa a lot, and I don't want to imagine having a trailer back there and having things get hinky.

Just because you say it's silly means everyone should agree?

I've explained this in depth countless times over the past few years. At this point, if you still believe ridiculous nonsense like that, you're either incapable of understanding how these things work or your ignorance is willful.

That doesn't make what he's said any less stupid.

I do not think that the training data is stored verbatim in the model....

You are correct. The training data is not stored verbatim in the model. Neither is the model some sort of compression tool. Still, occasionally, you'll see it produce verbatim text. The reason is usually because that text was included in the training data hundreds of times. Remember that these are generating text probabilistically on the basis of the training data, making the model more likely to get verbatim text as output even though the training text isn't stored in the model.

They are trying to solve the hallucination problem.

Which is obviously impossible. Again, there is not actual understanding here, which is what you'd need to identify and correct mistakes. (Of course, the basic structure and function of these models means that kind of evaluation is impossible, so whatever hand-wavy ad-hoc definition of "understanding" you want to use doesn't really matter.) So-called "hallucinations" are exactly the kind of output you should expect, given how these models function.

Take some time to learn about what LLMs are and how they function. It'll put a very quick and decisive end to all this silly nonsense.

The LLMs developers may possibly fix this by

Why does every layperson believe they know better than actual experts? As though their ignorance was some kind of superpower. "Those dumass experts couldn't possible have thought of obvious thing! They need my outside perspective!" It boggles the mind.

LLMs have been demonstrated to be Turing complete.

This is how we know you don't have a clue.

You obvious didn't read or understand the paper. That claim depends on infinite precision reals, which are proven to be impossible to realize in physical systems.

You're wasting everyone's time with your unimaginable ignorance. Go away.

The tires you selected are the ICE variant, the EV one is $565.00

Then take that up with TireRack.com, where I selected the year make and model; and the very first result is the one I put in my post.

FYI: there is no such thing as an "EV tire" - they're the same god damn tire. The only difference is the load rating, because EVs are heavier than comparibly-classed ICE vehicles.

I have two EVs, and two chargers in my garage. I didn't have to pay a fucking "upcharge" to "upgrade" a god damn thing. It's a 240VAC @80A double-pole breaker, exactly the same as what a heat pump, clothes dryer, or electric oven uses.

Nobody is installing high-voltage DC charging at home, because that would be fucking stupid.

There are EVs available for well less than $75k.

A lot of people's electric panels are in their garage, which means even if you install new breakers and wiring, you're still paying NOWHERE NEAR your ridiculous range for home electric install pricing.

TL;DR: Not a single thing you said is true. Stop talking about things you don't know anything about.
