They’re supposed to be good a transformation tasks. Language translation, create x in the style of y, replicate a pattern, etc. LLMs are outstandingly good at language transformer tasks.

Using an llm as a fact generating chatbot is actually a misuse. But they were trained on such a large dataset and have such a large number of parameters (175 billion!?) that they passably perform in that role… which is, at its core, to fill in a call+response pattern in a conversation.

At a fundamental level it will never ever generate factually correct answers 100% of the time. That it generates correct answers > 50% of the time is actually quite a marvel.

m68k assembly was my favorite back in the day.

This isn’t going to hurt Google’s antitrust cases at all… Noooo sir.

She was paranoid schizophrenic.

the fact that he’s saying “I’ve never even heard of these guys” is telling

He says, staring at the camera with a poo-eating grin, winking and transitioning to a speech about how he’s met so many “great” americans who are going to help “take our county back”…

The joke is that, regardless of how the type is declared in json, you are parsing a string. (your json blob is just a series of characters, not raw binary data)

It is irrelevant. However, the next guy can walk in and do the opposite and the victims will have no recourse.

I’m pretty sure he has already violated it after the verdict was read. How funny would it be that he gets jail time for contempt at his sentencing hearing?

The reply would have been return x % 2 == 0, or if you wanted it to be less readable return !(x&1).

But if you were going for a way that is subtly awful or expensive, just do a regex match on “[02468]$”. You don’t get a stack overflow with larger numbers but I struggle to think of a plausible bit of code that consumes more unnnecessary cycles than that…

Is this meant to be a joke or is it intended to be a serious solution?

Asking for someone who lacks a sense of humor.

Ok, fine, I’m asking for me. That person is me.

Agree no difference as an ingredient in some baked dish.

But if you are eating the egg by itself or as the primary item, there is definitely a difference in taste. Not a revolutionary change your life difference, but still a difference.

In my experience the difference is pretty small amongst the options in the grocery store, but fairly noticable for eggs I get from the farmers market.

Saw one the other day with Jennifer Anniston. Good enough that it took a second to realize it was deep fake audio and video.

Ignoring the content of the words, they probably spaced it out like that so they could still see out the rear view mirror.

For first names we separately compiled lists of names that we liked from whatever sources we could find (Internet lists, books, media l names used in media, etc). We went through each other’s lists and vetoed names that were a hard no. Then we wrote the names out on a sheet of paper in random order in a playoff bracket style arrangement. Each pair had a winner until there was only one.

For middle names, it had to be something that flowed well with the first name. It also had to be able to convey that special sense of “you done fucked up” and disappointment when said with the first name (while emphasizing the second), like “John PAUL”. Finally, candidates were from (mostly deceased) family members.

Names and initials were checked to minimize bullying potential; if we could think of a way to abuse it the name or combination was rejected. For example, Karen would be a no due to current slang usage. Or if the initials would spell ASS.

I can’t be the only one disappointed by the lack of an order by clause after being told the list was being sorted (twice!)…

That whooshing sound, in case you were curious, was the point sailing right over your head.

This is how to tell someone you haven’t checked grocery prices lately without actually telling them you haven’t checked grocery prices lately. A box of mediocre pasta alone is going to cost you $1.75. A jar of Preggo will run you another 2.50. So 4.25 for an I hate life spaghetti and marinara meal.

The sauce they make probably doesn’t come out of a jar of reconstituted tomato paste and dried seasonings either.

If you buy decent ingredients you are looking at $3 for the pasta and $9 for the sauce. Or $12 for an “ok for a home cook” spaghetti meal with no protein.

Restaurant serving sizes (for better or worse) are usually 2x+ larger than you would serve at home. Rent isn’t free for the restaurant either. Or labor. Or utilities. Or equipment. Etc. General rule of thumb is that a restaurant needs to charge 3x raw food costs to cover expenses.

So your I hate life pasta would need to be priced at $6.50 and your ok for home but not something I would be happy with getting at a restaurant pasta would need to be priced at $18.

If by simple you mean “can’t count from 1 to 10 in a loop” and by elegant you mean “easier to understand than a one line perl script” then sure…

That’s because it is absolutely terrible. It is the first serious/real “language” I have encountered since Cobol where indent level has functional meaning. This is not good company to be in.

Omg, I have SOOoo many questions about what is going on in this picture.
