The original thread poster (OTP?) implied perfection when they emphasized the “will never” part, and I was responding to that. For that matter it also excludes actual brains.

There’s no such thing as perfect data. Especially if there’s even the slightest bit of subjectivity involved.

Even less existent is complete data.

especially when people will use these systems to make potentially life-changing decisions for them.

That specifically is the problem. I don’t have a solution, but treating and advertising these things like they think and know stuff is a mistake that of course the companies behind them are encouraging.

… I want clear evidence that the LLM … will never hallucinate or make something up.

Nothing else you listed matters: That one reduces to “Ban all Generative AI”. Actually worse than that, it’s “Ban all machine learning models”.

Clonezilla has been a godsend to me during hard drive upgrades - it’s not a simple UI, but I was able to not only do the copy, but after screwing things up (my fault) it had everything I needed to fix it.

And those were windows partitions. Booted fine afterwards every time I’ve used it too.

Nice.

I also inherited a family spaghetti and meat sauce recipe.
In total it has 5 ingredients and that includes water and salt. I love it.

(The other 3 are the noodles, meat, and canned tomato sauce)

Ordinary ketchup.

To me any heat at all is always a detriment to enjoying the food. (I can stand some weak heat, but would never prefer it.)

I’m not seeing any reason to harm my other self.

If we were concerned about ID, we could just take turns leaving the house. We’d discuss any differences we could find between the universes, maybe eventually the self that started in that universe could hop to a third one… infinite hotel style.

But I think the best option would be for the two of us to become a magician.

Interesting! It didn’t for me yesterday, but is working now. (In an external browser instead of Boost)

Maybe imgur had what lemmy.world caught today.

Yeah, did This of all things get DMCA’d?

My glasses are strong enough and with high enough refractive index that if I look at a point light source through the edge of a lens I can see a rough spectrum of it. I can easily tell a true violet LED from red+blue or yellow from red+green. Used to be able to tell white LEDs from incandescent but the LEDs got much better.

TIL “walking bass” is the name of something.

That does make more sense when explained that way, thank you.

Then what is the purpose of the middle steps?
Second to last also has this problem.

The image has big “Draw the rest of owl” energy.

I don’t remember hearing about it before. I might have, but even if so the reminder is helpful.

Just get a long refillable butane lighter? Or one of those electric arc lighters? (Some of those have a long extension)

You know I seriously considered trying to find a more accurate word. I should have.

45th and 47th presidents of the United States. Which in this case are the same person

Where I am that’s around $3.

Take a photo of them. Then zoom in. If that doesn’t blow their minds, take a video of them and play it back.

Digital cameras have been commercially available as early as the late 80s, but were of course super low res and with terrible image quality even accounting for that compared to what I just carry in my pocket now.
