Jack in, Jack on…

I, too, am a fan of undertale

First of all, they are not FOSS. I know it seems tangential to the discussion, but it’s important because biases cannot be reliably detected without the starting data. You should also not trust humans to see bias because humans themselves are quite biased and will generally assume that the LLM is behaving correctly if it aligns with their biases, which can be shifted in various ways over time, too.

Second, local LLMs don’t have the benefit of free software where we can modify them freely or make forks if there are problems. Sure, there’s fine tuning, but you don’t get full control that way, and you need access to your own tuning data set. We would really just have the option to switch products, which doesn’t put us much further ahead than using the closed off products available online.

I’m all for adding them to the arsenal of tools, but they are deceptively difficult to use correctly, which makes it so hard for me to be excited about them. I hardly see anyone using these tools for the purposes they are actually good for, and the things they are good for are also deceptively limited.

Finding search terms is the one task I consistently use LLMs for. They did not say that though, they said replacing traditional search with LLMs, that traditional search is about to “go the way of the dinosaur”. I dont trust any local LLM to accurately recall anything it read.

Not to mention that once we gain dependence on LLMs, which is something big tech is trying really hard to achieve right now, it will not be all that difficult for the creators to introduce biases that give us many of the same problems as search engines. Product placement, political censorship, etc. There would not be billions of dollars in investment if they thought they weren’t going to get anything out of it.

It’s not going to change everything. Why would you ever use an LLM for anything information related ever? I can make up wrong answers just as fast as it can.

I really hope that this is a joke and I’m making a fool of myself.

I like CDs :)

From my understanding, food noise can be caused by a few things ranging from eating habits and culture to poor nutrition. Keto is able to help by filling your diet with things that keep you feeling full (protein and fat) and giving you some straightforward rules that keep you eating those things, which makes you not hungry as often and forces you to have some discipline around eating. You can still get cravings and noise on a keto diet though if your nutrition is off.

Whole grains can actually still be very filling despite their calorie density, on par with fats, but they have other nutritional benefits. They contain a lot of important nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber that can reduce cravings and help keep the food noise down.

I’ve actually done keto before, the strict rules were helpful discipline-wise, but I was able to get all of the same benefits without actually being in ketosis. By trying to keep myself eating foods that keep me full, by avoiding binging and keeping my habits in check, and by getting rid of refined carbs (pasta and sugar are the worst, it’s like you didn’t even eat anything) I’ve been able to keep my diet in check pretty well.

Also be careful about saturated fats long-term. It can be bad for your heart if they make up too much of your diet. You’re probably aware already but I thought I’d mention it just in case.

What’s better, IMO, is keeping a balanced diet that minimizes or eliminates refined carbs and emphasizes protein and unsaturated fats. Unrefined carbs like whole grains can still be very filling even if they’re somewhat calorie dense, and a strict keto diet can make it harder to eat some otherwise healthy foods.

I desperately wish I could go cold turkey on eating. It is such a difficult thing to regulate for me, I want to simply give it up like I did for nicotine.

How are orangutans? Are they chill? Still dangerous wild animals? Do they have an obvious personality? I’ve only seen them at the zoo and they don’t pay too much attention to people there.

They said it couldn’t be done…

This is literally the company that tried to implement WEI

Well clearly it’s making OP think twice about it. I think it’s completely possible for people to lack some component of these communication skills simply because they haven’t had anything that brought them to their attention before.

And to be fair, berating people who don’t understand these concepts doesn’t “fix” them either.

I think this guy has to be a troll.

Edit: after paying more attention, I’m coming around to realchadmctruths

And writing drivers for hardware when you don’t have access to all of the design files and documentation is a very involved process.

I think the public is staggeringly bad at advocating for their own interests.

… How do we know only a few other creatures enjoy sex? It seems like it’d be a good idea for evolution to do that with any animal that can enjoy things, and it’s not like we can ask most of them.

I’ve been hoping something like this comes along. I dont have the time or knowledge to do it myself.
