Damn thing will sit there and tell you that's what it's doing.

But it can't count! It still can't count. I feel like I'm going crazy. Am I the only person who cares that the machine can't even count?

"I suspect in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing it might be possible to extract interesting insights from how the model is grouping terms."

This is totally possible. But I don't think this is what that would look like?

@castanea_jo

LLMs really just shouldn't output that kind of data.

The companies offering these products seem to be delighted that people are confused and using them to do things they simply aren't really doing.

I mean LLMs are based on statistics, and they will produce results that look like frequency charts. But these charts only attempt to approximate the expected content. They aren't based on counting articles that meet any set of criteria.

It's... nonsense, and not even people who pride themselves on spotting nonsense seem to understand this.

This guy generally does interesting work, but he's used an LLM to analyze the trends in a "creation science" journal over time, and I just don't think LLMs are effective for this kind of statistical task.

Or have a missed something and they can count now?

Thought I'd ask before leaving a comment about the possible issue.

RFK will say it will solve "obesity" probably. I have no expectations for any good ideas rising to the tops as of late.

@ai6yr

Doing energy generation for the data centers like it's piecework and we are all 19th century immigrants filling matchboxes for extra cash at home.

I mean this is nice. It's not a bad idea but the market pressures driving it are worth a question or two I think.

@gloriouscow @nazokiyoubinbou

hmm Ok so maybe it is a bodge.

@Annacats

That is a look of pure love.

I agree it could have been done at the factory. A jumper like that could be the difference between printing a one sided board or needing two sides.

Not all jumpers are "bodges"

I just saw a post with an old IBM board with a bunch of 74 series chips on it and I was in the middle of looking them up but now I can't find it. Did anyone else see it?

Listen not all cats can be a part of the brain trust as it were. They all do their part... in their own ways.

@photovotary

I think it's #PicaTheCat with the clout.

Everyone always takes her side no matter what.

I'm a little disturbed that so many people heard the phrase "cat science" and just kept on rolling with it like this was in any way OK.

@UrsaAshBear

Do any of them do the same thing? (eliminate the ugliest one)

This is three too many IMHO.

If you can’t see the wire rats nest then it doesn’t exist? is that the theory? ️

@alienghic

They have improved the cable management so much. I’m so proud of them.

There is a guy on the train with a bad infection on his leg. He has on a hospital band so maybe he just left the emergency room? He is on the verge of tears begging for money. But I’m wondering where he could go for real help?

He seems disoriented like maybe he shouldn’t have been put out of the hospital without someone to pick him up. A lot of people gave him some money but that’s not doing much.

Something is slowly killing him.

I just realized my other response is a little misleading. I bought an ant-shaped appliqué patch and added it to the jacket. (took a lot of sewing to get all the legs down) I didn’t *make* the patch itself— it’s designed for a ball gown in black gauze with dragonflies, something from India with an art nouveau theme— but I think it also works on the ski jacket.
