  • This link is about reasoning system, not reasoning. Reasoning involves actually understanding the knowledge, not just having it. Testing or validating where knowledge is contradictionary.

    LLM doesn’t understand the difference between hard and soft rules of the world. Everything is up to debate, everything is just text and words that can be ordered with some probabilities.

    It cannot check if something is true, it just ‘knows’ that someone on the internet talked about something, sometimes with and often without or contradicting resolutions…

    It is a gossip machine, that trys to ‘reason’ about whatever it has heard people say.

    Publicly traded companies aren’t children though, where being nice or bad is a force of habit to them, and they are able to learn and improve from their mistakes.

    AMD has been an underdog under Intel and Nvidia for most of their existence. If they become the market leader, they will behave like them and start being anti-competitive.


  • I’m not sure the royals caused this. I guess the main issue is that some democracies become too entrenched, and groups of elites take over the role of nobility, term limits doesn’t help, since to be in a position to become someone, you have to join those that already rule. Capitalism also doesn’t help and even accelerates this process. Abolishing FPTP and instituting ranked choice would be the first step I think on improving democracies, by breaking up these elite groups.










  • Where did I or the original post mention anything about occasional smokers? This post is offensive to those struggling from lifelong addiction to cigarettes, which is almost never a choice.

    Where did they mention addiction?

    They mention cigarettes, and their bad affects on the people using them and the people around that. Stating that they are bad should not be offensive, because that is stating the facts.

    If they are offended by that… IDK. That is something they have to work through themselves.

    Gee, that’s such great advice! Why didn’t the lifelong addict think of that one themselves? You just singlehandedly solved addiction.

    You are misrepresenting what I said. I said that to get over an addiction you first have to want it. And you say: Just wanting to stop is not enough, and I agree.

    Noone chooses being addicted to cigarettes. It’s a mental health disorder just like being addicted to fentanyl or heroin, and a crippling one at that for some. Please educate yourself about what addiction is before defending posts like this. What you are doing is similar to shitting on people for “choosing” their sexuality or gender.

    True, however people don’t just wake up one day and be addicted. They have to take it first (willingly or unwillingly), putting a social stigma on the act of using these addictive substances, can at least prevent some people of getting accidentally addicted.

    So I would be in favor of supporting people getting out of their addiction, while preventing people to get addicted, by showing what is bad about these drugs and trying to fight against the social component of “taking them makes you cool”.

    What are you fighting for? Finding ways of being offended?


  • What does smoking a cigarette here or there has to do with addiction?

    Cigarettes aren’t the only way you can get addicted, you know. You made the connection between cigarettes and addictions, here in this post.

    Also wouldn’t it be the best advice against addiction find the will in oneself to stop doing it? If addicted smokers know what their cigarettes do for themselves and others, then they might want to try search for help, to get them off their addiction?


  • Well I worked for a while at a large international corporation that maintained (and AFAIK is still continuing) a managed Linux system, which worked well enough. And there where a lot more people, especially the people that were the most productive, interested in it.

    Sure that might have just been a nice island inside the larger company, but the people there were the internal consultants, which often had to pull other projects out of the gutter.

    If you over your specialists ways to use the tools they need, you will improve the whole company.



  • Linux on a corporate desktop is mostly about how well you know the IT guys and do they trust you. And of course the software stack.

    I would say it depends more on the commitment of the IT admins to support and manage a fleet of Linux workstations. There are Linux “Active Directory” servers, configuration provisioning tools, ways to centrally and automatically rollout updates, etc. It really depends on if the IT guys invest the same amount of effort to support them or not.
