Comment Re:LLMs cannot replace human thought (Score 1) 29

Check TFS. LLMs aren't in there. Engineers were using AI to find better shapes for rocket nozzles years before anyone had ever heard of ChatGPT. Hell, I toyed with using genetic algorithms to make extruded parts better nearly twenty years ago.

Don't fall for the marketing; there's more to AI than LLMs. Most of it actually works.

That is just Slashdot bug. It cannot handle even common Unicode characters. Posts from phones frequently get those character substitutions.

Just iPhones with smart quotes turned on. I assume iPads are the same, but macOS doesn't use them in text fields like this one.

At this point it's best to go straight to the source and use an LLM, it can synthesize exactly what you want instead of waiting for some blog syndicate to do it for you.

What if I want something actual facts that have been researched and put into writing by someone who knows what they're talking about?

To be fair I wouldn't expect someone like the Cheese Marketing Board to be pushing for more nuclear power.

What irks me is that we go from a report by an industry body to "Britainplots atomic reboot", as if this group is actually setting government policy. It's like the stories we used to get where one MEP floating some madcap scheme becomes a headline like "EU to ban/mandate [x]".

The last time I went to a show I had to supply the names of who would be attending and we all had our ID checked at the door. We also had to have our tickets saved in our digital wallets, because apparently neither the venue's fee nor TicketBastard's fee are enough to pay for someone to print an actual fucking ticket. These obviously aren't universal practices (thank heavens) because they would have already stopped the scalpers.
