Hmm... not sure. Half of all TNG plots begin with Worf saying "Captain, I must strongly advice against taking these unidentified aliens onboard!", Picard replying "Overruled Mr. Worf!", and then they find out that Worf was right all along. Picard never apologizes, thus comes off as a prick at times.

Google's AI is extremely prone to making up random shit that doesn't exist. Swedish is an agglutinative language (like German) so you can join multiple words together to form new words: tomat (tomato) + jos (juice) => tomatjos. Most conjoined words are nonsense, but Google will still happily "explain" what they mean. Some examples:

tangentbordskanin (keyboard bunny): keycaps for mechanical keyboards with bunny images on them

indianbokföring (Indian accounting): simplified accounting outside of legal norms

bokföringsindian (Indian accountant): informal, older term for an auditor

potatisbensinskämt (potatoe petrol joke): a type of classic absurd riddles or word plays

nagelfis (nail fart): bulging pain in fingers after having been outside in extreme cold without gloves

And it regularly lies about local stuff, e.g., it says that coffee shop A has lower prices than coffee shop B when it's the opposite in reality.

I'm uncertain on whether it will be possible for humans to fool LLM's in the future. Previously, you used to be able to get it to do all kinds of "naughty" things like having it pretend to be Hitler, generate porn images, or use derogatory slurs. Nowadays, even getting it to tell you how to circumvent YouTube's anti-adblock features is difficult. I always thought humans would always be able to outsmart bots on open-ended tasks.

You can live without phone apps because that fits your morals. But it doesn't stop there. Why not sugary products too? Imagine cashiers refusing obese people soda. And why not porn and video games too?

Given what happens in Gaza humans don't need sophisticated ai to inflict extreme hunger, poverty and war.

Can the adults stop shitting on the young generation? There is no way in hell anyone in the workforce would agree to relinquishing their phone at the start of their shift so why should children? People lazy scroll YouTube and Facebook all the time at work yet kids can't. Hypocrites.

> On the other, it did feel (to me) like with all the fancy (and definitely cool) optimizations it got (automatic refcount operation removal, new type-based specializations, inplace math operations), the macrobenchmark benefits weren't _that_ exciting for a JIT. It definitely has potential for more, maybe with even fancier optimizations like unboxing ints, but the complexity just keeps going up.

Zero chance of shoehorning that into a standards-compliant Python runtime. Some things are too fundamental to change without affecting the user-visible language: JITting, lazy imports, threading, copying gc, ref counting, etc.

The only architecture advice you need is write short code and create few files. Now you know why LLMs mostly create mountains of trash.

First link: "With the ambition to phase out its coal-fired plant by 2025, Denmark’s third largest district heating company, Fjernvarme Fyn, has established Denmark’s biggest heat pump plant. The plant will recover 215,000 MWh of energy from Meta’s hyperscale Tietgenbyen data centre and redistribute the surplus heat to the district heating network of the city of Odense."

"Will" means "in the future".

These are future plans and they lack specificity. I don't think they will come to fruition. The problem is that waste water from data centers isn't hot enough.

Last I checked waste heat isn't energy dense enough for large-scale district heating. Small pilot projects yes, but it won't heat whole towns.

Haha, I sympathize :). For those who may be confused, the problem is that most i18n on the web is so shit that most people from countries where the comma is the decimal separator will enter a period instead. In many of those countries the period serves as the thousands separator so entering 1.203.456,3 should be interpreted as 1203456.30. But it almost never is so in the few cases when it works (like here) it causes nasty surprises.

For the same reason Russia is so good at producing mobsters - the government turns a blind eye or even acts as an incubator for scammers. Your question is like asking why the Philippines is so good at sex tourism.

Exactly. There's plenty of public-private partnerships in Israel and there is zero chance that a spyware firm would go unnoticed. Israeli academia, defense industry, and government is tightly interconnected. See Unit 8200, for example, which basically works as an incubator for Israeli cyberspace fraudsters. Denying Israeli government involvement here is just as dumb as denying Russian government involvement in Fancy Bear.
