At least the last season of scrubs was a different enough setting/cast, so even though it was definitely not as good, it didn’t “ruin” it for me like some other series that have gone on too long.

Well I kept using it until Infinity died, which was only at the start of this month!

If I do decide to go back, it will be by compiling the infinity APK with my own API key, but I’m not feeling much of an urge to bother at the moment.

I think calling it just like a database of likely responses is too much of a simplification and downplays what it is capable of.

I also don’t really see why the way it works is relevant to it being “smart” or not. It depends how you define “smart”, but I don’t see any proof of the assumptions people seem to make about the limitations of what an LLM could be capable of (with a larger model, better dataset, better training, etc).

I’m definitely not saying I can tell what LLMs could be capable of, but I think saying “people think ChatGPT is smart but it actually isn’t because <simplification of what an LLM is>” is missing a vital step to make it a valid logical argument.

The argument is relying on incorrect intuition people have. Before seeing ChatGPT I reckon if you’d told people how an LLM worked they wouldn’t have expected it to be able to do things it can do (for example if you ask it to write a rhyming poem about a niche subject it wouldn’t have a comparable poem about in its dataset).

A better argument would be to pick something that LLMs can’t currently do that it should be able to do if it’s “smart”, and explain the inherent limitation of an LLM which prevents it from doing that. This isn’t something I’ve really seen, I guess because it’s not easy to do. The closest I’ve seen is an explanation of why LLMs are bad at e.g. maths (like adding large numbers), but I’ve still not seen anything to convince me that this is an inherent limitation of LLMs.

Thanks for the info on crossposting! I thought I’d seen someone mention a cross posting feature but couldn’t see any button to do it. I’m using the Jerboa app on Android which I guess doesn’t have that button, but I see it on the website now as you say.

It’s also good to know that linking to the original URL is generally better and the rest can be handled by the UI - that does seem nicer.

I’d be happy if we’d just accepted “referer” as the correct spelling for everything, but instead we have the “Referrer-Policy” header, so now I need to check the correct spelling for anything involving referring…

I do sort of like the idea that because we want to keep backwards compatibility on software we just change the language instead since that’s easier.

Is “scrapping” autocorrect, a typo, or intended? Not meaning to be rude just interested because I’ve only heard of “web scraping” but often see people write “scrapping”.

Now you switched when you shouldn’t have idiiot

Oops yeah I did

Google yeah, but I don’t think YouTube is too much of a stretch, especially now they have posts and polls and other stuff.

Haha, got a “network error” on my first attempt so clicked send again, I guess it did go through the first time after all :D

Lemmy still feels pretty niche so I also found it surprising for me, although it probably shouldn’t be, there are quite a lot and they have to be somewhere :)

Speak for yourself

My understanding (from limited knowledge) is that also due to how federation works even if you’re instance isn’t under too much load, you may notice issues with posts/comments from other instances if they’re struggling.

They look like… The wrong trousers

One thing that I wish hadn’t carried over from Reddit 😩

Yeah, there currently seem to be a bunch of rough edges with Lemmy. Another is that iirc editing a comment increases the comment count shown on a post.

Nothing that can’t be fixed though, and it’s encouraging how good Lemmy feels already compared to reddit (for me at least).

It’s difficult to build a high speed railway without making it go through some green space, so environmentalists won’t always be happy :P

Agreed, and the questions I have that MDN doesn’t answer would probably be ones even less likely for the AI explain to get right.
