I too, choose this guys wife.

I think it just means, likely that the lemmy users have “seen some shit” that eventually caused them to join Lemmy instead of the horde of reddit users.

TL;DW; he bypasses the whole 2500 dollar software thing by using common sense that the caliper only has two wires in it so you just need to feed a positive and negative power line to it from a low voltage power source and it will extend or retract the electric caliper as needed.

That’s not what I said.

I said it’s not any more AI than things in the 90’s were. I didn’t say we haven’t improved things since then.

Neural networks and GPUs alone are huge improvements to the paradigm and design that allow for LLMs to exist.

They’re still as far from real AI as the chatbots in the 90’s were.

Again, they are a vast, vast improvement over those in ways that nobody in the 90’s could have ever predicted. Nobody even knew what a neural network was or how to make one back then (I mean, a few researchers were working on it, to be fair, but we didn’t have the hardware to do much than posture).

We’re still light years away from real AI. LLMs do not bring us closer. They solve a different problem.

Your feelings and opinion are wrong in this case.

They could mislead people into sharing your opinion/feeling and then you’d both be wrong.

You’re getting downvoted because you’re wrong and are contributing the opposite of a benefit to a conversation around the security of signal without any facts or proof other than your “gut”.

That is not upvote worthy. People are correct to downvote your comment to let others know that they shouldn’t take it with any degree of seriousness. That’s how this works. That’s how the whole comment voting system is supposed to work.

Your feelings are not special when they muddy the waters of facts.

It’s as secure as it can be in the modern world really.

But none of the technology matters if you let an FBI agent into your super secure encrypted group chat.

If you’ve tried to build chatbots before, you’ll quickly understand how impressive LLMs are.

We essentially solved the problem of a chatbot sounding human and having reasonably intelligent things to say by throwing insane amounts of hardware at it. This wasn’t possible before now really.

The algorithms are impressive, but still naive compared to what people believe AI really should be.

This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.

This is just the best chatbot from the 90’s we’ve made so far.

You’re projecting your nazi-ism pretty hard here.

Heart, gut, etc. is all to say instinctual and not something reasoned.

Her though? I hear she was closer to 27.

Consolidation of wealth.

Aka, capitalism.

Depends on when the bust happens. If its in the current admin? All those tech companies are getting bailed out.

1 Trillion % this.

You just get more responsibility and are more liable for things. That’s pretty much it.

You’re not an adult yet other than the legal definition.

It’s going to take some time before you find yourself, but if you were artificially limited in pursuing that due to age restricted things (getting an apartment, signing a loan, etc.) then now you have the tools to go find yourself.

But I’d hurry, not sure how much longer the world as we know it is going to last.

Multi cloud is very difficult to do well.

Multi region is already hard enough with transactional management not being easy to split between the regions, and multi-cloud is another order of magnitude more difficult than multi region.

With that said, use2 and others were still up, so if they were just multi region and failed over to east2 they would have been fine.

Monopolies exist exactly like this. With them not competing fairly and coordinating with one another so as to not encroach on the others territory.

Ever wonder why despite there being dozens of ISPs in the country, you’ve only ever got an option for like a main one, and an intentionally shitty one to make the main one look better?

It’s all a rigged game.

Those are the only 3 that matter at the top tier/enterprise class of infrastructure. Oracle could be considered as well for nuanced/specialized deployments that are (largely) Oracle DB heavy; but AWS is so far ahead of Azure and GCP from a tooling standpoint it’s not even worth considering the other two if AWS is on the table.

It’s so bad with other cloud providers that ones like Azure offers insane discounts on their MSSQL DB (basically “free”) licensing just to use them over AWS. Sometimes the cost savings are worth it, but you take a usability and infrastructure hit by using anything other than AWS.

I honestly, legitimately, wish there was some other cloud provider out there that could do what AWS can do, but they don’t exist. Anyone else is a pale imitation from a devops perspective. It sucks. There should be other real competitors, especially to the US based cloud companies as the US cannot be trusted anymore, but they just don’t exist without taking a huge hit in terms of tools, APIs, and reliability options, to AWS.

ITT: OP Asks thought provoking question, then acts like an ass in the comments.

First thing I thought of after reading it.

Is Betteridge’s law ever wrong?

No.
