Spot-on.

I spend a lot of time training people how to properly review code, and the only real way to get good at it is by writing and reviewing a lot of code.

With an LLM, it trains on a lot of code, but it does no review per-se… unlike other ML systems, there’s no negative and positive feedback systems in place to improve quality.

Unfortunately, AI is now equated with LLM and diffusion models instead of machine learning in general.

Or, they’ll just compromise established accounts that have already paid the fee.

GPTs are designed with translation in mind, so I could see it being extremely useful in providing me instruction on a topic in a non-English native language.

But they haven’t been around long enough for the novelty factor to wear off.

It’s like computers in the 1980s… people played Oregon Trail on them, but they didn’t really help much with general education.

Fast forward to today, and computers are the core of many facets of education, allowing students to learn knowledge and skills that they’d otherwise have no access to.

GPTs will eventually go the same way.

It’s missing my clique… BSD Fans.

Because iCloud was a smashing success for Apple when they used this technique?

At least iOS and macOS don’t keep on asking you after you say no like Windows does though. At least not until you change something in your iCloud configuration.

I remember when I had to set my VCR to record a program I wanted to watch; if YouTube gets that bad, I’ll just do the same thing; pre-record the video stream and skip the commercials.

The difference is that my ad blocker is quick and painless to set up, where TiVo involved some capital and planning.

It happens in English too — just think about how many people never learned how to properly use paragraphs, quotations, hyphens, parentheses and footnotes.

It’s just the human condition to attempt to communicate in known blobs without thinking about what you’re actually trying to communicate and how it can be most effectively done with the tools at hand.

We’re all single hammer hominids at heart.

At least they can observe the patterns….

Bless your heart.

Well, I switched to Edge for work with the latest Chrome update (since internal apps were Chromium only), and was pleasantly surprised. It actually let me turn off almost all the junk, and is responsive in a way I haven’t seen in a Chromium browser in years.

Safari and Firefox for personal use though, and nothing compelling to make me change that.

The reason they’re smaller is that they’re compressed, and expanded during the install process.

For most platforms, the product update is vetted and signed as a functional program, then compressed to save space in transmission, then decompressed and validated prior to swapping with the original.

OS updates and DLCs are available to add new data to an existing system, but this isn’t generally used for discrete parts of a functional program due to the potential for abuse or errors.
