What made you think that?

Stainless steel pans are amazing when used for the right purpose. They weigh much less than cast iron, don’t require any maintenance beside cleaning them, and they are pretty much indestructible. If you burn something badly you can use metal scowering pads or any chemical you damn well like (including sodium hydroxide that will melt flesh) to get the thing clean again. They are tolerant to any cooking temperature you would ever use, ever. You can’t overheat one with any appliance a normal kitchen would have. This means you can easily pop one in the oven provided it has a metal handle.

The only issue being they have no non-stick properties to speak of and relatively little thermal mass. This is good in that they don’t need long to heat up, but bad in that it’s not a consistent temperature and you have to know what you are doing with the power control to get the results you want. This means it’s essentially useless for cooking things like steak, and difficult even to cook an omelet without using a lot of butter, ghee, or oil. Things like tomato sauces though? Perfect. The stainless steel could care less about the acidity.

People see AI and immediately think of ChatGPT. This is despite the fact that AI has been around far longer and does way more things including OCR and data mining. It’s never been AI that’s the problem, but rather certain uses of AI.

Also another serious question: why the fuck are you trying to demonize an anxiety disorder? In fact while I am here why are you trying to demonize personality disorders caused ultimately by childhood trauma?

I can understand making the argument that someone with NPD doesn’t belong in medicine for safety reasons. But anxiety disorders? Really? How is that going to impact their performance? Surely someone with anxiety is more likely to double or triple check things that others would miss.

Now if drugs in general were legalized this would be less of a problem as there wouldn’t be pharmacies running out because of recreational or off-label use, but I will get off that soapbox for a second.

NT people who are using amphetamines or methylphenidate for performance enhancement are idiots. There is only one area where these things can actually improve NT performance, and that’s in situations where you absolutely need to stay up at unusual hours. That’s why militaries across the world have used them, and some countries continue to use them. Soldiers falling asleep during battle is apparently not ideal. Outside of that scenario though I have only seen evidence of it harming performance overall. Even in military use the USA military have switched to modafinil for a reason.

Adderall is an amphetamine derivative, so I can’t imagine it’s good to abuse that long term. Being prescribed it by a doctor does not count as abusing it though. The fact that people think it is abuse is part of the reason diseases like ADHD are so stigmatized.

As for the phenomenon of running out in the midterm and finals: it is entirely possible that some people with legit ADHD only need their medication during times when more is being demanded of them. I don’t think it’s fair to punish these people. There are also people with prescriptions selling the stuff though, which isn’t great, but again could be resolved through legalization.

Now why would someone taking medication for an illness be a bad thing? If the purpose of medicine is to treat illness then surely the doctor taking theirs can only be a good thing, no?

Yes, blink is the engine Chromium uses. Since KHTML was an open source project any project based on it will have to be open source, unless of course it’s just used as a library. Even in that case though blink the engine is forced to be open source even if the browser as a whole isn’t. GNU licenses are considered infectious because anything containing any GNU code automatically and legally becomes open source. So KHTML being unmaintained is irrelevant.

Oppenheimer is a mainstream movie though. It’s not that geeky.

If I remember correctly it’s under a copy left license which makes sense given it’s ultimately a derivative of KHTML.

Yeah so I also use CachyOS on a couple things and one of them also uses Cachy Browser.

Don’t Firefox and Chromium already have that?

In most countries you can’t buy a gun. Then again in most places that kind of violence carries significant jail time.

I’ve seen teachers use this stuff and get actually decent results. I’ve also seen papers where people use LLMs to hack into a computer, which is a damn sophisticated task. So you are either badly informed or just lying. While LLMs aren’t perfect and aren’t a replacement for humans, they are still very much useful. To believe otherwise is folly and shows your personal bias.

Trait alexithymia for the win

I am not talking about things like ChatGPT that rely more on raw compute and scaling than some other approaches and are hosted at massive data centers. I actually find their approach wasteful as well. I am talking about some of the open weights models that use a fraction of the resources for similar quality of output. According to some industry experts that will be the way forward anyway as purely making models bigger has limits and is hella expensive.

Another thing to bear in mind is that training a model is more resource intensive than using it, though that’s also been worked on.

Bruh you have no idea about the costs. Doubt you have even tried running AI models on your own hardware. There are literally some models that will run on a decent smartphone. Not every LLM is ChatGPT that’s enormous in size and resource consumption, and hidden behind a vail of closed source technology.

Also that trick isn’t going to work just looking at a comment. Lemmy compresses whitespace because it uses Markdown. It only shows the extra lines when replying.

Can I ask you something? What did Machine Learning do to you? Did a robot kill your wife?

Even if it didn’t improve further there are still uses for LLMs we have today. That’s only one kind of AI as well, the kind that makes all the images and videos is completely separate. That has come on a long way too.

How did you end up with that lack of emotional capacity?

From what I heard they do actually put a lot of effort into simulating airplane aerodynamics at least for the smaller planes. So the flying part is kind of important.

(Jumping from an insult about dietary preferences to an insult about war crimes is not the same magnitude)

The potato joke is a joke about war crimes even if the person telling it doesn’t realize this. They actually responded in kind.
