I’m generally against violence, but I really hope you guys do something over there…

11·7 months agoBut going peacefully on the streets is only successful if the government you want to send a message to is listening, i.e. if it either cares for their citizens or is in any way rational.
I hope I’m wrong here, but I can’t see anything changing for the better in your country. It currently looks like 70 million people trying to talk through a knife fight.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.
62·7 months agoThe only field I see LLMs enhancing productivity of competent developers is front end stuff where you really have to write a lot of bloat.
In every other scenario software developers who know what they’re doing the simple or repetitive things are mostly solved by writing a fucking function, class or library. In today’s world developers are mostly busy designing and implementing rather complex systems or managing legacy code, where LLMs are completely useless.
We’re developing measurement systems and data analysis tools for the automotive industry and we tried several LLMs extensively in our daily business. Not a single developer was happy with the results.

But it’s 2⁵² addresses for each star in the observable universe. Or in other words, if every star in the observable universe has a planet in the habitable zone, each of them got 2²⁰ more IPs than there are IPv4 addresses.

Technology@lemmy.world•Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression ratesEnglish
1·8 months agoBut spending a lot of processing power to gain smaller sizes matters mostly in cases you want to store things long term. You probably wouldn’t want to keep the exact same LLM with the same weightings and stuff around in that case.

Technology@lemmy.world•Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression ratesEnglish
2·8 months agoYe but that would limit the use cases to very few. Most of the time you compress data to either transfer it to a different system or to store it for some time, in both cases you wouldn’t want to be limited to the exact same LLM. Which leaves us with almost no use case.
I mean… cool research… kinda… but pretty useless.

Technology@lemmy.world•Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression ratesEnglish
71·8 months agoOk so the article is very vague about what’s actually done. But as I understand it the “understood content” is transmitted and the original data reconstructed from that.
If that’s the case I’m highly skeptical about the “losslessness” or that the output is exactly the input.
But there are more things to consider like de-/compression speed and compatibility. I would guess it’s pretty hard to reconstruct data with a different LLM or even a newer version of the same one, so you have to make sure you decompress your data some years later with a compatible LLM.
And when it comes to speed I doubt it’s nearly as fast as using zlib (which is neither the fastest nor the best compressing…).
And all that for a high risk of bricked data.

Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•A $20,000 electric truck with manual windows and no screens? Meet Slate Auto. | Ars TechnicaEnglish
1·9 months agoRight 150miles is enough most of the time for most people, but it wouldn’t make much sense to buy a pickup truck if you can’t use it that one day every few weeks/months you actually have to transport something a little farther away.
And most people wouldn’t buy a pickup with two seats, so considering the use case of a two seat pickup truck, 150miles range isn’t that great.

101·9 months agoProgrammers can double their productivity and increase quality of code?!? If AI can do that for you, you’re not a programmer, you’re writing some HTML.
We tried AI a lot and I’ve never seen a single useful result. Every single time, even for pretty trivial things, we had to fix several bugs and the time we needed went up instead of down. Every. Single. Time.
Best AI can do for programmers is context sensitive auto completion.
Another thing where AI might be useful is static code analysis.

Why not blame both?
