You fail your nickname.

Which, of course, is AWESOME.

A human who knows something will reject an obviously wrong answer, but since the LLM knows literally nothing and the AI companies won't pay for it to check even its own work (which won't solve the problem but will REDUCE the major fails) it will just happily shit out a catastrophe.

You forget your metamucil this morning, grandpa?

Yes, they are. They aren't printing every single part of the gun, but yeah, they are printing guns. And I say that as someone who plans to print one eventually, though probably not while I live in California. You can make your own rifled barrels with EDM, too, so you actually can manufacture every part of the firearm yourself.

Yeah, that's also done with a sensor. It's done with current sensing. And it's not a hard stop, it's a soft stop. So, exactly what I said it was. Note I didn't mention a switch or hall sensor.

Then they can kill the steppers. That's not better.

Then we disagree on whether or not LLM's are nondeterministic.

However, your definition contradicts the example. You noted nondeterminism is, "when it is physically impossible to predict the output of a system from its inputs in advance," but you then say an LLM with a random seed is nondeterministic. Is the random seed somehow not one of its inputs? If I know the inputs, I can predict the output 100% of the time, assuming the random seed (which is an input passed as part of the call) is considered one of the inputs (because it is).

Once again, you prove that, "This CANNOT be overstated. LLMs are software, they execute on machines that are entirely deterministic and do not work unless they are."

And if LLMs are deterministic, then they can not be considered conscious for those whose definition of consciousness includes a requirement for being nondeterministic. Note, that is NOT the same as saying consciousness is or is not determinism; It's saying that it depends on it as one of the attributes of consciousness.

You're asking for a definition while claiming you are not quibbling over definitions. All you are doing is quibbling over definitions.

Why are you wasting my time?
Did I make such a demand? Are you referring to this request, "Please provide your definition of consciousness"?
What claims (about consciousness) did I make? Perhaps you're confusing other replies in this thread?

As to why, it's right there - I have an interest in the definition of deterministic behavior. I believe that's something we, as people, should be able to agree upon, whereas consciousness tends to be more philosophical, akin to trying to define the "soul". Your last reply has confirmed that your understanding of deterministic behavior, while similar, differs from my own to the point that you consider an LLM with a random seed to be nondeterministic, yet one with a static seed to be fully deterministic.

I would offer that something that is fully deterministic can not exhibit free will. Apply that as you see fit to the above.

Once the machine is paid off I'm never touching the card again.

Absolutely not. Ouija has nothing in it which doesn't come from the players. LLM is based on its training data and random numbers. The two could not be more different.

Same here. I had a Cyrix 6x86 and a couple of different K6s including a K6/3+ before I went to Slot 1 and then Slot A, and it's been all AMD since...

I just bought a Mac Mini last month. The no questions asked educational discount took $100 off. Also signed up for the Apple card giving me 12 months of 0% interest payments.

I think you are too optimistic.

People who believe in conspiracy theories, will simply move on to another conspiracy theory, if their pet theory is disproven or proven. There is a kind of person who simply believes in conspiracy theories, they are primed and ready at all times to believe them.

Same thing here. My firewall/router is a core 2 duo box that set me back $35. I would like to replace it but it keeps chugging along without complaint.

How about a modern kernel on a 486? https://github.com/Sharktastic...

Ford wasn't counting on people switching from gas F-150s to the Lightning. They were counting on the F-150 name helping to sell their new product. This has essentially been effective, in that they sold about as many of those as they reasonably could have hoped to have done. People who bought them generally seem very happy with them, though not very many people were ever going to be in the market for that vehicle.

With that said, Ford should have parlayed that success into a lighter, cheaper EV pickup. Call it the F-100 Lightning. I'd guess they haven't been able to execute on the supply parts of the picture, and that's the real reason it hasn't happened. It took Tesla a while to get into the swing of having battery supply at a good cost. Ford simply isn't there yet, so they are using protectionism to delay the progress of the entire market in an effort to to catch up.

The best solution is replacement of their electronics and thus freedom from their entire software stack. There are mods for a number of printers for doing this. I for one have a FlashForge Adventurer 5M and while it is hackable and they haven't done anything stupid to users yet, they do have horribly inadequate RAM (128MB!) so there's a project to replace all the electronics with a Pi and a common control board.

On occasion there have been commercial replacement boards for some printers. Biqu has made some for a couple of Bambu models.
