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”.

Only if they don’t spend more time reviewing and fixing errors in the generated documentation than they would have just writing it in the first place.

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.

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.

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

Yes.

(But it wasn’t his choice, someone added him.)

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

It is bad writing. That paragraph (and the title) makes it sound like it was considered in the past and they are asking that it be considered again.

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.

Looks good actually.

But how does it handle the door opening early? Does it still leave unused time sitting on the time dial?

I would agree with you, but I still want to own a microwave. There are none with reasonable UI behavior as far as I can tell.

(Edit) For example: Opening the door a few seconds early always leaves time on the display which should just automatically clear after a minute or two. Obviously if the user doesn’t use that leftover time immediately then they aren’t going to.

True enough. I likely will just stick with the stock system.

Do you know if that’s still the case on their new systems?

I’m currently waiting for next gen GPUs to become available and have been leaning towards Tuxedo
