For me, “interestingly wrong” becomes just “wrong” without human thinking behind it. I wasn’t bowled over by the prose, I just thought it was an uncommon take and didn’t twig the signs it was Claude product.
Can i compare this with fucking inflatable doll (not done this, just extrapolating). Even if senses for your penis are identical, whole experience is totally not the same as doing with another live person.
Yes, but, that goes away when the "thing" is meant to mimic/replace/replicate a human... that's why "uncanny valley" is just a gut-level unsettling feeling. The lack of emotional nuance.
A djungelskog is not a threat. AI threatens my livelihood and my humanity. The worst part is I have to use it regardless because I would be uncompetitive without it.
Ironically I have a somewhat of a different view - I love rubber ducking and tinkering with LLMs. Sometimes they come up with a use case that I would not have thought of, but I would have liked to have maybe 2 weeks later. Other times it is nitpicking each others' code etc.
again, which app are you talking about? it's like saying "the web is buggy" but not saying what browser you're using. Looking at the App Store reviews for Element X at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/element-x-secure-chat-call/id1..., there are no complaints about bugs at all (only missing functionality, which has since been added)?
Isn't a devaluation the same as inflation, just measured against other currencies?
Basically inflation measures against itself at an earlier time, devaluation measures against other currencies at the same moment. So it both describes the fact that the currency in question is using purchasing power, measured from different points of view.
But I'm not knowledgeable on the topic, I just mentally stumbled a little when reading this thread which seemingly (to my interpretation of what was written) made them sound like different concepts entirely.
It's inflation fornouschains foreign products, but also makes us products cheaper to the rest of the world which means it's an incentive for exports.
Might have had some interesting effects on the economy if we didn't simultaneously have tariffs making it so that 1) it's hard to buy the machinery to increase US industrial capacity, and 2) nobody wants to invest in the US economy because tariffs cause economic slowdowns.
The price response in secondary markets (refurbished drives here) can be much bigger than the direct effects caused by increases in price for newly produced goods, I think? If the price goes up for new drives, purchasers of new drives hold on to current product for longer, and they are the suppliers to the secondary market. Also, more people might buy from the secondary market than from the primary market due to the price increase, creating a greater supply pressure and price response than is seen in the primary market. I guess it all depends on the shape of the demand curve.
The tarrifs are pretty big, depending on the country (for china, they are huge) and inflation is also pretty high. Things are only going to get worse with the current administration intent on tanking anything that remains of our economy. We are in big trouble in the US.
Agree. If low cost and maximum value is you're goal, grab a used one of these or similar speed laptop (and you sort of get battery back up in that case)
Really, any machine from the last decade will be enough, so if you or someone you know have something lying around, go use that
The two main points to keep in mind are power draw (older things are usually going to be worse here) and storage expandability options (you may not need much storage for your use case though). Worse case you can plug in a USB external drive, but bare in mind that USB connection might be a little flaky
With no intention to tarnish your pure world view, paid services with low registration requirements are ideal for account laundering and subscription fraud with stolen credit cards
Quite honestly, I do that sometimes too -- but I _know_ that it's unreasonable.
