- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 1 week ago:
You don’t get to tell me what I mean when I speak. Regimes, revolutions, and states are all different things and I would never use one of those terms to mean another.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 1 week ago:
No. That’s not what happened. I rejected the idea that having a violent revolution makes a regime violent by definition. This whole time I’ve been talking about regimes and you’ve been talking about revolutions. It’s really that simple of a miscommunication.
- Comment on .ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this 1 week ago:
No. I explicitly rejected that interpretation in the very comment you are responding to. Can you read?

It’s not relevant to this thread. Also, shut your mouth.

Who cares? I’m not talking about how they get solidified. I’m talking about what they do when they have power. If someone supports violent left wing regimes, then they are a Tankie. If you don’t think that the regimes are violent beyond their revolutions, then that wouldn’t imply one way or another whether you are a Tankie.

No one said anything about revolution.

A tankie is anyone who supports violent left wing regimes. It requires support of violence and doesn’t require that the regime still exists.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
Must just be a skill issue.

Good thing that’s not the case then.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
It’s not about stupid or smart. It’s a tool, not a person. If you don’t get the same results that other people get with the same tool, then what could possibly be the problem other than how the person is using the tool?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
No, it’s not. It doesn’t have intention. It’s literally just a tool. If you don’t get the results you expect with a tool when other people do get those results, then the problem isn’t the tool.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 months ago:
The symptoms you describe are caused by bad prompting. If an AI is providing over-complicated solutions, 9 times out of 10 it’s because you didn’t constrain your problem enough. If it’s referencing tools that don’t exist, then you either haven’t specified which tools are acceptable or you haven’t provided the context required for it to find the tools. You may also be wanting too much out of AI. You can’t expect it to do everything for you. You still have to do almost all the thinking and engineering if you want a quality project - the AI is just there to write the code. Sure, you can use an AI to help you learn how to be a better engineer, but AIs typically don’t make good high-level decisions. Treat AI like an intern, not like a principal engineer.

I don’t think we can say that about consciousness for sure, but I agree with your broader point that it doesn’t have self-awareness or a sense of horror at its predicament.
This could actually host a very interesting rudimentary form of consciousness that is theorized by some theories of consciousness, especially idealist models like panpsychism or analytic idealism (though I do admit that analytic idealism would phrase it in terms of having a mental state instead of being conscious).

I think it’s more like 303/2800 chance.
There are 97 leap days every 400 years, then the calendar repeats. So you have 303/400 chance of not having a leap year, and in those years, you get a 1/7 chance of having this calendar. Thus 303/2800.

Yes it does make sense in context. Using the word robbers to mean “taking the lives of animals” does not make sense in context and is a stretch beyond the imagination. Also, I never asked, “what were they stealing from the animals,” and I don’t appreciate you quoting words I never said!

It can also mean to overcharge someone, which is likely how it is used here. The exorbitant price of sacrificial animals is multiply attested. The poor couldn’t afford it
I’m not sure how your interpretation is meant to work out. I don’t see how people would be compelled to give their belongings to someone if the threat is directed towards random sacrificial animals. Are you trying to say that they were stealing from the sacrificial animals themselves, and that’s why he called them robbers? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

That’s not true. He denounced them for price gouging gentiles who came to the temple to make sacrifices. He didn’t call them murderers - he called them thieves.

- Comment on Say hello to Bary 8 months ago:
Technically speaking, no celestial body in our solar system orbits around a single point. The barycenter thing only works with two bodies. When there are more than two bodies, such as in our solar system, the orbits become chaotic. Granted, the influence between planets is small, so they all appear to orbit their barycenters with the sun, but there are small perturbations to the orbits caused by the locations and masses of all the other bodies in the solar system.

It would be easy depending on your company’s git practices. Complicated git workflows can leave room for you to slip stuff in unnoticed or misattributed. I mean, it still has to pass a review, but a lot of the devs I work with don’t review that closely. Could just assign a lazy dev to the review and increase your odds of getting it through.

This joke makes me sqrt(-1)%
- Comment on number box o number box 9 months ago:
That’s exactly correct. It’s similar to how a vector in R^2 is just an arrow with a magnitude and a direction. When you represent that arrow in different bases, the arrow itself isn’t changing, just the list of numbers you use to represent them. Likewise, tensors do not change when you change bases, but their representations as n dimensional grids of numbers do change.
- Comment on hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 10 months ago:
LLMs have already discovered new proofs for math problems that were previously unsolved. Granted, this hasn’t been done with a commercially available model as far a I know, but you are technically wrong to say they will never discover anything new.

There’s a general negative attitude towards chromium browsers due to some anticompetitive practices pulled by Google in addition to privacy concerns and probably some more issues I’m not aware of. So that includes chrome, but also edge and most other chromium based browsers.

- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 year ago:
Python and Java are barely comparable. I adore both languages equally and use them about the same amount at work. They are just different tools better suited to different tasks.

I heard it was supposed to be human body temperature, but they used horse body temperature instead because it was close to human body temperature but more… stable.
- Comment on Vectors Part 2 1 year ago:
A vector space is a collection of vectors in which you can scale vectors and add vectors together such that the scaling and addition operations satisfy some nice relationships. The 2D and 3D vectors that we are used to are common examples. A less common example is polynomials. It’s hard to think of a polynomial as having a direction and a magnitude, but it’s easy to think of polynomials as elements of the vector space of polynomials.
