What if those people with unstable currencies just used a stable currency? Like certain countries just use physical USD.

Banks probably use Oracle or Sun lol. Postgres would be too modern and normal.

Unfortunately I think the sweet spot is to say it once or twice, go away, and then come back later with "I told you so"

No pain no gain also goes the other way, many times people don't learn until they get slapped in the face.

But the original claim was tea was in its weights. So more like 9 out of 10 times it will still say tea and get stuck.

Is that for a certain order size? Because a lot of the cost can come simply from retooling or swapping components. Like if you have 100 x1 smt components vs 1x 100 smt components it's a huge different if you get what I mean. Also anything through hole I basically just give up getting assembled as a hobbyist.

Meh it doesn't know what's "easy to understand" because it's trained on the average of the whole internet and it's mostly junk out there. Sadly the amount of junk obviously vastly outweighs the actual good writers so as long as you're just feeding it like this nothing will change. RLHF also just biases towards the average/mediocre because it's again the average of all user choices. If you want a PhD level chatbot you might need to enslave a couple hundred PhDs and milk them for a few years first. But under duress they will not perform optimally either.

It makes sense in the framework but the framework makes no sense. The model contradicts regular intuition.

That case was dismissed multiple times by different courts, so it's completely bogus and we're safe.

JavaScript can root you? That's way bigger of a problem than telemetry. Do you have a source? How does that even work?

How does Claude attempt the task by itself? Someone has to write the first prompt.

Absurd. Deepseek is open source. You can just self host it.

Of course it matters. Suppose because tech pays better the figure in tech is more like 0.7%. The rest is shut concentrated in rural regions and other industries. Then your point would be moot wouldn't it.
