Pineapple is very common in curries, the jump to apples and raisins isn’t that far tbh

Oh that would also make sense, yeah
- Comment on Wednesday it is, my dudes. 3 weeks ago:
I suspect that’s deliberate to make someone that speaks English and doesn’t know German still get the correct impression of what it actually sounds like, rather than get the spelling right

Congrats, you completely missed the point. Maybe read the actual article, before going on a rant that’s only tangentially related?
- Comment on Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code? 2 months ago:
It is an algorithm that searches a dataset and when it can’t find something it’ll provide convincing-looking gibberish instead.
This is very misleading. An LLM doesn’t have access to its training dataset in order to “search” it. Producing convincing looking gibberish is what it always does, that’s its only mode of operation. The key is that the gibberish that comes out of today’s models is so convincing that it actually becomes broadly useful.
That also means that no, not everything an LLM produces has to have been in its training dataset, they can absolutely output things that have never been said before. There’s even research showing that LLMs are capable of creating actual internal models of real world concepts, which suggests a deeper kind of understanding than what the “stochastic parrot” moniker wants you to believe.
LLMs do not make decisions.
What do you mean by “decisions”? LLMs constantly make decisions about which token comes next, that’s all they do really. And in doing so, on a higher, emergent level they can make any kind of decision that you ask them to, the only question is how good those decisions are going be, which in turn entirely depends on the training data, how good the model is, and how good your prompt is.
- Comment on Have you ever seen coal in real life? 7 months ago:
You’re not wrong, but the way you put it makes it sound a little bit too intentional, I think. It’s not like the camera sees infrared light and makes a deliberate choice to display it as purple. The camera sensor has red, green and blue pixels, and it just so happens that these pixels are receptive to a wider range of the light spectrum than the human eye equivalent, including some infrared. Infrared light apparently triggers the pixels in roughly the same way that purple light does, and the sensor can’t distinguish between infrared light and light that actually appears purple to humans, so that’s why it shows up like that. It’s just an accidental byproduct of how camera sensors work, and the budgetary decision to not include an infrared filter in the lens to prevent it from happening.

The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.

Will if we’re only talking charging, USB-C should be as easy to implement as any of them, basic 5v is gonna work even without most of the pins connected
- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 7 months ago:
Pretty sure most people here are talking about the usage side of things. If we were to go by effort to implement the connector, let’s just go back to serial ports
- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 7 months ago:
One plugs into line voltage
Well, but that’s not what’s coming out of the end that you plug into the razor. The wall plug for it contains a transformer that steps it down to 15V. Would still be a bad idea, but it’s not line voltage.

B is fine, just a bit big. Agree on micro though.
- Comment on Not buying a shaver from Philips again.. 7 months ago:
How is USB-C worse than either of them
- Comment on What does getting "delisted" off Steam means for games I already own? 8 months ago:
Oh, that’s cool, thanks for the heads up!
- Comment on What does getting "delisted" off Steam means for games I already own? 8 months ago:
I don’t know about this case specifically, but I own Alan Wake on steam which has since been delisted because of music licenses running out. At least for that one, I still own the game on steam and can download, install and play it normally whenever I want, it’s just that people cannot buy it anymore through steam. If you’re lucky, it’s gonna be the same with the adult swim games.
- Comment on How can I clean my mouse wheel without taking apart my mouse? 10 months ago:
Because the balls did often need cleaning, whereas I’ve never heard of the moose wheel needing it
- Comment on Portal Paradox 10 months ago:
The thing is, movement is relative. Everything on earth is constantly in motion if you’re observing from any other celestial body, so motion itself can’t be what breaks portals. What it might be, though, is acceleration. Those panels in the video seem to be moving at a constant speed, so aren’t experiencing any substantial acceleration, making a portal on them possible
- Comment on Portal Paradox 10 months ago:
Not sure I’m following. If the portals are exactly the same size, and stay that size, then why would you have to connect one point on one to two points on the other?
- Comment on Portal Paradox 10 months ago:
You can pass two 2d ovals through each other in a 3D space no problem if they’re exactly the same size.
