Since basically all graphics processing algorithms are linear algebra and all of ML is linear algebra but with a twist, I think fuzzy background removal is definitely AI.

This term is so meaningless you could call A* an "AI algorithm" at this fucking point

Aren't you supposed to only use whatever "self-driving" nonsense they have on highways only? I thought Tesla explicitly says you can't do it on a normal road cause, well, it doesn't fucking work.

It doesn't even seem the driver is actually holding the wheel like they don't try to avoid that at all

Just a second before the crash a car goes by, this thing could've just as easily swerved right onto that other car and injured someone, someone should at least lose their license for this

If I were a half-a-billion-dollar scam I would simply not have audits taps forehead

For LLMs specifically? Code is not text, aside from the most clinical, dictionary definition of "text".

But even then, it also fails at writing coherent short or longform, so even if code was "just text" it'd fail equally badly.

So... I think it's high time to start planning an exodus.

Is there a good alternative to GitHub?

I have two types of repos, a few public open-source projects for which I require:

  • Basic git stuff ofc, PRs, forks, etc.
  • Issues
  • Automatic scanning for security vulnerabilities like GH does
  • CI on PRs and nightly CRON based, free and allowing both cloud-hosted runners and adding self-hosted runners
  • Ability to host a static documentation site

Plus private ones where I don't need any bells and whistles, just a git hoster for myself and no one else.

Is there something free that provides these things and doesn't suck? If I go to GitLab's page then it says:

so that's fucked too now, huh

Well that fully answers the questions I had I guess

God what's the odds that he also used a wisdom woodchipper to produce the text of that pdf lol

Also referenced here with a debunk by a material scientist.

What does this have to do with literally anything I said about comparing AI with interns

[–] V0ldek@awful.systems 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

But what's the point of having that if it doesn't result in improvement on the other side? Like you're doing hard work to correct code and respond with feedback but you're putting that into the void to no one's benefit.

Hiring an intern makes sense. It's an investment. Hiring an AI at the same skill level makes negative sense.
