"researchers that found state-of-the-art large language models face complete performance collapse beyond certain complexity thresholds"

Humans also face complete performance collapse with cognitive tasks beyond certain complexity thresholds

What's the grift in this video? This is a backup of the one that was taken down: https://archive.org/details/li... Are tutorials using technology you didn't design and build yourself a form a grift?

Pretty sure it was snapd that drove this decision. It's truly horrible for real daily desktop usage, causing many seconds lag for app startup and certain operations like selecting files to attach to email in Thunderbird.

Snap / snapd is pretty much like Windows Vista when the world was so used to Windows XP.

FWIW, I've used various Linux distros for my main desktop machine since 1994. Never in all these years have I seen anything like snapd which makes a high end desktop feel so sluggish.

Have you ever seen the 2018 documentary Active Measures? It does a good job of chronicling Russian attempts to influence US politics.

I wonder if it can search its training data for inconsistencies/misidentified creatures?

People who financially benefit from a Ponzi scheme before it implodes tend to believe they are involved in legitimate work.

Whether Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, I don't know. But one thing I do know for certain is people who are making money almost always believe they are doing good, even with plenty of evidence is contrary.

Sorry, I'm going to revive the mid 1990s era and use the Chili Pepper font and lots of Earth tones. Maybe throw in a few swirls for buttons and draw a gecko somewhere.

And the recyclability of plastics is a big smokescreen from the plastics industry. Most of it is not recycled because it is not profitable. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/front...

And a lot of plastic is just not economically viable to recycle because it degrades. There's an excellent Frontline documentary on the plastics industry with actual plastics industry documents talking about it all. Even Oregon the country's biggest recycler barely recycles any of the plastics placed into bins.

Frontline made a documentary on the plastics industry that is pretty interesting. It provides interviews with people in the industry and documentation charting out their plan to market economically infeasible recyclables and guilt the consumer into having to do the legwork.

I would be very happy with an OLED TV that has all the great image features but with none of the smart home integrations or even apps or network connectivity.

The bot accounts probably do violate the ToS. But I bet the AI generated songs don't.

It's mid 2000s lolcat speak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

There's another level under that called, "self-published ebook on Amazon."

Valid criticism. But in this case Apple published the fact that this method would be deprecated over two years ago and has been sending out warnings that people should change to the new API. Spotify has some kind of aversion to updating their codebase. They are still faking shuffling on playlists over 100 songs, and their group playlist function has been broken for at least four years.
