It sort of takes the sting out of the threat when I find the subject of the threat to be laughably unlikely anyway.

Threatening me with sending my soul to hell is like threatening me that an djinn will steal my XboX: I don't believe in djinn, and I don't own an XboX, so it's a moot point anyway.

Okay, I'll take your word for it.

I've never ever, in many hours of playing with ChatGPT as a toy, had it make up a word. Hallucinate wildly, yes, but not stogulate a word out of nothing.

I'd love to know more, though. How does it combine new words? Do you have any examples of words ChatGPT has made up? This is fascinating to me, as it means the model is much less chained to the training data than I thought.

Yeah, just the random "That makes me think of r/whatever" comments showed me a lot of subreddits I would have otherwise completely missed.

I used to do a lot of work in vim, over SSH. Five PuTTY windows, one of which was always showing cmatrix

Shared an office with a Business Analyst, so he was way more impressed with my "matrixing", than I was with his "spreadsheeting".

Yep yep, statistical analysis as to the frequency of tokens in the training text.

Brand new, never-before-seen Windows keys have a frequency of zero occurrences per billion words of training data.

The number of users is a possible indicator, sure, but 100k lurkers produce less value for other users than a single ~~shitposter~~ ~~reposter~~ poster.

That is to say: How many posts per day does the average community get? Nobody goes to the Memes community for a sense of belonging. Gief memes plx.

It's hard to just quit something you've nurtured for years.

I use tabs because I prefer 4-space indents and others might prefer 2-space indentation or the gross and unacceptable 6-space indentation.

If more than one person is working on a code base, there will likely be more than one preference, and with tabs everyone gets to just set their own tab width.

Yes, even the 3-space savages.

I used to work for a notebook manufacturer, and it was a non-trivial part of the cooling strategy that the lid is open under load.

I hope they've changed, but megacorps usually don't.

No, it wasn't.

It is, and has always been, a feudal monarchy, if you want to define it's political structure.

You and I are the peasants, above us are the moderators acting on behalf of the local Lord Subreddit Owner, which serve at the whim of The Monarchs of the corporation, with His Majesty the CEO only being rained in sliiiiightly by the clerics of the venture capital Church.

Please elaborate on how you see this in any way as a social democracy.

Yeah, I think the power trip of moderating some subreddit with millions of members is very seductive. Sadly, it seems very seductive to exactly the people I would not want moderating, but I'm sure ousting conscientious moderators for puppet dictators will alleviate this situation in the future of Reddit.

Right? RIGHT?!

Internally in Discord, it's called a "Guild" (i.e the API)

Users didn't care, and kept calling it a "server", so that terminology became the official one.
