  • You’re still personifying it too much. Whether or not you get angry doesn’t matter to it. It has no concept of whether something matters. It’s just predicting tokens based on the token correlations it encoded in its NN parameters during training plus a bit of random noise. Everything else is just trying to set up the context in the hopes that it predicts the tokens you want it to.

    And since it wasn’t trained on every possible context, it’s overfitted to some (eg maybe a mention of yellow will make it very likely to talk about bananas) and lacks any useful context at all for others (eg your very specific problem).







  • Yeah, though at least pressure doesn’t really factor in, which I think is where most cases of steam breaching a water seal comes in to play. But if gases can be exchanged, steam is way higher humidity than air normally and can condense inside.

    My guess would be the odds of a soap or steam breach on a water resistant phone is very low, but if you bring your phone in for every shower, you might be tempting those odds.



  • Or just get a water resistant phone. Though I would suggest caution when it’s soapy water because that affects the surface tension of the water, which could mean some can slip past the seals that normally keep water out.

    Though I have a water resistant phone but have never brought it into the shower with me. It was more of a case of not wanting to be worried about my phone in any kind of a situation involving water. Like going in to one of those 3D movie attractions with moving seats that sprayed water, I was concerned about whether I should be concerned about my phone getting wet. Turned out to be just tiny amounts of water and nothing to be concerned about even if I had my phone out, but after that I wanted to remove that worry from the list entirely.


  • I really can’t understand the hate Arby’s gets. I unironically believe it’s one of the best fast food places out there. Their roast beef is delicious, especially with their cheddar sauce, their BBQ sauce is one of the best (out of fast food ones, it doesn’t stand up as well when you expand the comparison to all sauces out there), and their horsey sauce is great, too. And their seasoned curly fries taste great on their own and their shape makes them pick up dilling sauce very well.

    Or maybe their Canadian locations that I’ve been to were just outliers and way better quality than their average?






  • Even if you need to collate a bunch of data, don’t use an LLM for that, use a script, spreadsheet, matlab, or a compiled program that does real data analysis. Hell, even training a different NN on it would give more reliable results more efficiently.

    LLMs are best when the stakes are low or for tasks where even if they give the worst possible response, it won’t affect anything.



  • Yeah, as the other commenter mentioned, git is a distributed source control system, so all clones have the full history (though you can bump up the “starting point” to reduce the overhead of storing all previous commits).

    Hosts like github can add more features on top of that, which would have to be backed up separately, but you can automate the repository itself using a single command, which is the same command used to make a clone in the first place.



  • IMO everyone should have a local backup of everything they can get related to the repo. Like I know with git itself, anytime you clone the repo you get everything, but also the supporting stuff that is in the layer outside of git. IMO the host should mainly be the hub where everyone gets and interacts with the project, while everything else is already good to go in a new location, should the host either screw up in good faith, get corrupted by outside influences, or gets overrun by local or remote powers.

    This makes me a bit curious about whether the overall risk to projects is higher from individual local device failure or politics around who controls remote hosting services and the nature of the project.
