Frankly, compilers come pretty close to reaching the necessary complexity to be practically non-deterministic; anyone who had never spent days banging their head against code that works perfectly with debug enabled but fails utterly when compiled with release optimisations, but only when two logically entirely unrelated pieces of code happen to be written in a particular order, and then only if interrupts are enabled on the target… Well, anyone who hasn’t been through that has no business calling themselves a software engineer - and certainly no business telling other software engineers what tools they are allowed to use.

that is still deterministic.... you don't understand what deterministic means.

go ahead and show us an llm that is deterministic with a parameter passed to the inference engine. I'll wait.

What a dumb and ignorant comment. Micromobility already is the norm in many places around the world. So yes, the problem should be discussed and solutions found. Thankfully many places already have solutions.

It’s a fun game. Wish there was a storyline though.

Even if that happened it would still be a terrible technology. The damage to the environment isn’t worth it.

Most people don’t know about osm. Also it’s not doing itself any favors with the completely fragmented ecosystem. Also, CoMaps is so much better than Mapquest it’s not even funny.

Mapquest directions are so horrendous it took me literally twenty miles away from the location it was supposed to and stopped me in the middle of an empty field and said I was there.

Like, getting the wrong location is one thing, there’s plenty of places with the same names different cities, but this was for an apartment building and it dumped me at an empty field in the middle of a state park……. There’s no apartments there.

Like I said in my comment

not the main site

Owning it has nothing to do with it. It’s legal because there’s not a law against it. Just because you own something doesn’t mean you can do anything you want with it if you intend to sell it. You can’t put poison in it, you can’t sell asbestos. There’s tons of regulations about what you are allowed to do to products sold.

We are completely overwhelmed, of course. The glimmer of hope is that we secured sufficient LLM budget and access (thank you Meta!) to run reviews with multiple frontier models on each patch. This eliminates some hallucinations.

That’s not the author’s words, it’s a quote from the Linux mailing list…

Yes, using cheap Amazon tablets about 5-7 years ago. They never got used. It’s just more convenient to use the home assistant app on your phone or Siri.

I honestly can’t believe it’s legal. It would be like if Target opened up all your kids toys and put Target logos on the toy inside. The car comes wrapped with plastic and protective things all over them. They literally remove that and stick their own fucking logo on them.

I don’t think it’s a problem with overhyping the results. It’s the fact that you can get something with essentially no work. If the LLM just didn’t output anything at all but told you with a voice prompt that couldn’t be transcribed to text you wouldn’t see anyone using it. It’s the fact that it allows people to be lazy and still get output, no matter how bad the output is as long as the thing runs, that is making these chatbots so popular.
