When I got to that part I raised an eyebrow through the ceiling. In actual computational theory classes that is only ever brought up briefly during the intro section to automata & turing machines to try and ease math & cs students into writing proofs (which he most definitely knows bc he was a math college student)
I'm well aware that lemmy doesn't use node I just said "like these" bc i was targetting my comment towards ppl that aren't software devs.
I think it's uncontroversial, maybe even trite to state that JS tech like node was instrumental in the language's adoption and the explosion of web apps, electron apps, etc.
I think the hype is on the down swing. It seems they're gonna try again with newer, more mathematically efficient models or something. Telling ppl not to worry about this shit will always be an uphill battle bc not only are the hype-men, salesmen, and the bougies trying to scare the public & their workers w/ this stuff. Ppl that should really know better have also convinced themselves.
I feel as though the creator of Nodejs (a monumental step forward for Javascript and a technology that helps websites like these run) would be able to think introspectively and accept that intelligence is far more complex than a complex statistical model but I am wrong
I just get the feeling there is a quota on these types of articles at this point. We know a sort of elaboration on the subject would demonstrate the vacuousness of the author’s “analysis” too clearly.
What we should be discussing is how many guys the NYT has trapped in China for years in order to, in their view, substantiate their credibility. C = Number of Years Lived in Place * Age / Skin Tone
The article does this on more than one occasion. I think it’s a GPT article. The paragraph about how China supposedly “punishes neighbors after mere slights” includes an article as evidence that states trade with Japan resumed
but also a funny bit about how when reached for comment a Chinese office refused to comment over the phone and told them to fucking fax the questions. The fax was ignored.
if you've got something like bypass paywalls clean, the comments are pure gold

to the meme of all time
A lot of work I have been doing recently has involved modernizing a codebase that is too old and bc I have the knowledge of what should be done I am able to just let an LLM rip 80% and guide it to fix the remaining 20. Have never used these chat/search bots for anything else
The code also isn't well documented or self-documenting so it's also really good at parsing related files and reading packages to figure out how they work for me way faster than searching the internet or guessing
