RE: I, ChatGPT
@HardwareGeek said in I, ChatGPT:
The company I work for (the client, not the staffing agency) has recently introduced a chatbot from this company:
This morning there's a discussion about it in Teams that I wish I could post. It's hilarious. I haven't tried it myself, but it seems to be as useless as @clippy; it answers almost everything with "I'm here to assist with work-related tasks and inquiries. If you have any questions or need support with something specific to your work, feel free to ask!", rather than actual answers. (To be fair, though, it's responding to questions like, why are you so useless?)
When it does give an actual answer, it's wrong. E.g., it's supposed to have access to the HR/payroll system to answer how much vacation time you have available. Instead, it seems to respond with the government mandates for various types of leave, without any reference to what you, individually, have used/scheduled/available. That's not the question you were asked.
Apparently, since most companies don't have enough data to train a LLM to answer most questions, Moveworks aggregates training data from many companies. So, if you do get an answer that seems plausible to a question like, how do I log into foo, it might actually be right — for some other company — or maybe a mishmash of procedures that contains elements that are accurate, but the whole isn't right for anyone.
@clippy will you answer him?

is there any reason why it's not the normal way of doing this?
Typography rules that have been experimentally established over last couple hundred years.
@TwelveBaud said in responsivenes with vh and vw:
For something like Wibble, consider adding a second column of text once over a certain width. That keeps each line narrow enough to read easily. There may be some pain if an article is over a screen in height (since viewers would have to scroll to the bottom to finish the first column and then scroll back to the top to read the second) but I don't think Wibble articles are long enough that that'd be an issue.
In that case it would be better if the columns were limited to screen height and the page switched to scrolling horizontally by adding more columns. Like the reading view in Word.
I didn't think CSS supports flowing over multiple columns, but it seems CSS3 does (https://caniuse.com/multicolumn), you'd just need to adjust the number of columns suitably with some media rules and perhaps a bit of javascript to measure the content length.
CSS has column-count, and it's well supported even
The index with columns looks like this:
And the contents:

our own continuous conscience is an illusion anyway.
This is apparently true. We backfill our memories of the past to make it all seem continuous.
if you believe it will work, you'll be happy until the last second, and the new "you" will be happy when it's turned on, there won't be a you that is disappointed with any of this
The "new you" will believe it to have worked; that's the whole point. The "old you" will not... if "old you" has enough time to form that opinion. If the transfer is done while you are unconscious, the matter is as moot as you care to design the scenario to be...
Consciousness is not a fully understood phenomenon. That is one of the true "holy grails" of science.
One of the main drives to want to stay alive is our self-preservation instinct, and if you believe it works enough, that instinct will be satisfied. Now I'll retcon it as why your religion said you need faith to achieve eternal life

For those of us who don't C++, the difference is between passing by reference and passing by value.
I don't see the problem since you pass either way. But I doubt some people have anything that could be called a "conscience" nor any values to begin with.
Well, when most people want immortality, they want to avoid death. Making a copy that behaves like you isn't immortality in the way they want it. Even if it's a perfect copy of you that even acts, thinks and feels like you, it's still not you. You will still die.
By reference doesn't make a copy, it just references the original in a new context. And as the image says, this isn't what's gonna happen.our own continuous conscience is an illusion anyway. if you believe it will work, you'll be happy until the last second, and the new "you" will be happy when it's turned on, there won't be a you that is disappointed with any of this

RE: The Wibble
I'm doing some tests using the AI to translate everything. Now the root (index) page is translated with whatever is in the browser accept language, and can be overriden with a ?lang=xxx.
Whatever the AI understands should work, including things you invent like "en-spongebob", "pt-spongebob", "en-uwu", "it-pirate", etc.
en-spongebob does this:
italian-pirate does this (I dunno if it got piratelike cause I cant read italian):

@izzion Academia's "Publish or Perish". Oops. Wrong choice.
Academia importance to science is overrated. Things that matter would still be researched without this theater
Apparently dark matter doesn't.
such a perfect pun that double as a good valid response, you deserve some serious internet points for this one
the scientists behind those big particle accelerators are important. people with loads of crap publications and fabricated bullshit are not
would you pay me big money just knowing the number of GitHub repositories without looking at it's contents? something is weird on publish or perish
maybe the funders doesn't accept that a scientist isn't gonna produce a measurable amount of results if they're truly focused on discovering currently unknown things, and take measurable bullshit instead
a scientist that makes one breakthrough a week exist only on fantasy tv series

Yes, but will manglement be willing to pay actual programmers when code monkeys ((quasi-)human or AI) are much cheaper?
I continue to wonder how much of management is going to end up being replaced by AI.
There is an old sci-fi short story where management is the first to be replaced. I believe like everything else, it doesn't need to straight out replace everything you do, but if it can help a lot less people achieve the same thing the effect is about the same

@HardwareGeek pay peanuts, get monkeys. They will learn that if you don’t pay the money you get crap results.
They didn't learn that with buying cheap developers from 3rd world countries, they won't learn it with AI-generated code.
We are the developing countries, that is the right place for development to happen, right?

Holy fucking shit. I’m not exactly sure if that’d be illegal in the EU, but I certainly hope it is. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Just when I thought I couldn't hate advertisers more than I do.
I'm joking. I know there is no maximum.
I use AdBlock, pay for YouTube premium, etc. Then my kids chose to play games with 500 ad popup/second over the ones on play pass and keep annoying me about the popups.
I dunno about the maximum, but sometimes I fell like I want to do bad things to people that create said popups

@boomzilla said in I, ChatGPT:
the worse plagiarism is when I use someone's idea as a prompt. when someone does that in something with money involved, I think we'll see some big legal battles
if the AI changes the original enough, it will be a huge headache to detect and prove the original was used in the prompt
not very different than proving it was used on training, but in this case the results is much clearly visible as a derived work

@Zecc or possibly to avoid demonetisation (or censorship). Do they also use the word unalived, unironically, in the video?
in the original video I didn't notice any unusual word like this. did you see it in some translation?
I saw @Tsaukpaetra using this word on the dream thread, though it was weird but probably a cromulent word

RE: In other news today...
This is Portuguese, but I believe this news is WTF enough for it to be worth using the browser translator if needed:
The headline translates to
Woman takes dead man in wheelchair to get R$17,000 loan and asks him: 'Sign'
And the site is a reputable Brazilian news source

Yeah but you can just scroll sideways if you really want to view that sample config file in a browser.
I copied the text to a notepad++ window, but that is infuratingly bad UX, and being able to workaround it doesn't justify it
I gets sillier on the ultra wide screen:
And the thing I suggested on my original post wouldn't improve it either, (using vh / vw). What I think this should have was line wrapping, having a copy to clipboard button or a view file as raw text link

@Tsaukpaetra do you think gemini writes more interesting than my current gpt-4-turbo-preview thing? I did this test in on the free web thing:
Local Hunk Dives Headfirst into Lawsuit After "Too Hot for Safety" Waterslide Stunt (Lawsuit May Not Be As Wet and Wild)
Sunburn Springs, FL - A local waterslide attendant has sparked outrage and a potential lawsuit after what could only be described as a "romantic miscalculation at 30 mph." Kevin "The Kraken" Krakenheimer, known for his "smooth talk and even smoother moves," found himself in hot water (pun fully intended) after attempting a gravity-defying maneuver during a routine slingshot ride.
Eyewitnesses report that Krakenheimer, while securing a female patron in a "rather lengthy pre-launch procedure," exhibited "flirting so blatant it could have launched the raft itself." Sources close to the incident (who all requested anonymity for fear of Krakenheimer's legendary charm) allege the pre-launch "safety briefing" devolved into what many described as "a mid-air grope session that rivaled a professional wrestling match."
Just as the patrons were about to be launched into a blissful state of weightlessness, Krakenheimer, in a move that park officials are calling "an egregious breach of protocol and possibly basic human decency," performed a daring (and frankly questionable) acrobatic flip. This "romantic aerial maneuver," as Krakenheimer himself described it, unfortunately resulted in him landing headfirst in the shallow end of the pool, narrowly missing a flock of startled pool noodles and a particularly grumpy-looking inflatable flamingo.
While the patrons reportedly escaped with nothing more than a mild case of whiplash and a newfound appreciation for personal space, Krakenheimer is facing a potential lawsuit for "emotional distress" and "public indecency at a high rate of speed." Park officials, still bewildered by the entire incident, have released a statement assuring patrons that "safety is our top priority," while simultaneously adding a new line to the employee handbook titled "Absolutely No Flirtatious Fouls at Launch."
Krakenheimer, sporting a bandage on his head and a sheepish grin, maintains his innocence, claiming the patrons "totally dug the move" and that the lawsuit is "just a bunch of salty tears from joyless landlubbers." However, legal experts predict a different outcome. "This case," one analyst chimed in, "has all the makings of a legal flop. It's a slippery slope, and Mr. Krakenheimer might find himself completely out of his depth."
