i think it will be around 150k if the MO is cool enough aroud this time.

Are you going to neat-pick a point each time rather than addressing my argument as a whole ?

I’m french and I can tell you in a software developement context AI is worse than existing tool like deepL, maybe it work better in afrikaans and if that’s the case good we finally have an use case ! sadly being ok at translating thing is not what thoose model are selled on and even if it were : it’s still not worth the cost

I’ll stop responding, no one is reading that far of a comment and you are not responding to my arguments in way that’s productive.

Once again it’s not enough to justify the cost.

LLM translation are hazardous at best and we already a lot of translation tools already. Templating systems are older than me and even so no one in their right mind should trust a non deterministic tool to draft documents.

Voice recognition is not limited to siri, I just used the most know exemple. Local assitant have existed long before LLMs and didn’t require this much ressources. You are once again moving the goal post. Find one real world use that offset the downside.

I ask for an example making up for the downside everyone as to pay.

so, no ! A better shutter puller or a maybe marginally better vocal assitant is not gonna cut it. And again that’s stuff siri and domotic tools where able to do since 2014 at a minimum.

we should allow lead in paint its easier to use /s

You are deliberatly missing my point which is : gen AI as an enormous amount of downside and no real world use.

But we could do vocal assistants well before LLMs (look at siri) and without setting everything on fire.

And seriously, I asked for something that’s worth all the down side and you bring up clippy 2.0 ???

Where are the MANY exemples ? why are LLMs/genAI company burning money ? where are the companies making use of of the suposedly many uses ?

I genuily want to understand.

Give me one real world use that is worth the downside.

As dev I can already tell you it’s not coding or around code. Project get spamed with low quality nonsensical bug repport, ai generated code rarely work and doesn’t integrate well ( on top on pushing all the work on the reviewer wich is already the hardest part of coding ) and ai written documentation is ridled with errors and is not legible.

And even if ai was remotly good at something it still the equivalent of a microwave trying to replace the entire restaurant kitchen.

How people dare not like the automatic bullshit machine pushed down their troat…

Seriously, genrative AI acomplishment are :

• Making mass spam easier
• Burning the planet
• Making people lose their job and not even being a decent solution
• Make all search engine and information sources worse
• Creating an economic bubble that will fuckup the economy even harder
• Easing mass surveillance and weakening privacy everywhere

Sorry, things happened in my life and I’m not able to dedicate energy to talk about direct democracy.

I know it’s in french but it’s a really good ressource : https://ddirecte.org/

Thank you, talk to you about democracy was fun ^^

Gaylight saving fig1.

The same way public petition work, if a law is needed people will campain around the issue and among thoose people some will draft legislation that could be made into law.

Thing aren’t that much different now, WHO and other org are still trying ( and sadly failling ) to get stuff done to prepare for the next pandemic ( Look at the US for example ). Not everyone can get treated, If someone vulnerable like an elderly person or someone like me catches the new covid variant there is little to no hope of recovery. Even if you perfecly recover covid can leave damaged lung and nerves. And even if treament can be done without consequences, medicine as always warned to prevent rather than treat.

I don’t ask for much, put a mask when going in crowded area and vaccinate at least once every six month.

How covid didn’t really disapear and airbornes diseases are still there.

I have a respiratory disease and I feel alone wearing my mask in public transist or struggling to remind people around me to vaccinate ( wich seems to fall on deaf ears ).

It’s hard to conceive a perfect system but to paint broad stokes :

Direct democracy mean that the final say is always in the hand of people rather than elected politicians. That doesn’t mean they aren’t people whose job is to draft up and propose legislation ! But thoose people can’t decide instead of everyone and have to listen to specialist and concerned people. To vote a law they have to convince and prove to everyone that it will be a net positive.

Think about it, how many time did you see senators that don’t know what a computer is vote laws that reshape internet for the worse. Or think about how leftist in the US are stuck with a center-right party ( Democrats ) that only listen to their donors.

Having direct democracy doesn’t mean that everyone has to be politicaly litterate or that legislation specialist stop existing. Ideally it’s a system that reward people solving problems and discourage self interested politicians.

Of course they are a lot of obvious flaw in what I said ( the first being how to decide what people mean ), it’s an ideal after all and I’m sure that there is a better way to define it. But that’s the neat thing about direct democracy, we can all find something better together. ( rather than beg a politicians whose only skill is being elected ).

I’m for direct democracy and I was trying to push in that direction but I’m all for fighting against gerymandering !

Props to you for fighting it since 2016, the plan bill look very nice !

Yes ! I totally agree !

I was pushing for direct democracy rather than telling people go give up fighting gerymandering, guess I failled to make my point ><

Not a defense of gerymandering but it’s fundamentaly impossible to draw electoral maps that represent people perfectly. Someone has to draw the maps at some point and bias is going to have an effect on that.

And that’s assuming people are well represented by their candidate of choice.

Go torrent a copy of the official US army IED handbook and idealy also get the sabotage handbook. Don’t ever use the anarchist cookbook wich contain horribly dangerous fuse design.

The one I use in france have been made using a glass bottle and a tampon as a fuse :

Put a very small dose of frying oil in the botom of your bottle, add gasoline. Soak your tampon in gasoline and use it to plug the bottle. Light and throw as fast as possible a soak fuse is quick to burn, the frying oil will vaporize on inpact making it harder for cops to get rid of the heat or cover the fire.

Alternative that I call the KFC ( Kentucky Fried Cop ) that is less ethical, same setup with a glass bottle and a tampon but use a larger dose of frying oil and put polysterene in the botom, use the same amout of gasoline. This one will make an oil mist that stick to clothe and go through cops armor. It’s litterally frying people, use it only against people you want to hurt.

BEFORE THROWING IN A PROTEST, TRAIN YOURSELF, you need to be accurate, capable of quickly throwing and backing of. Also coordinate with a local action group, people on your side need to know you are going to throw. ( and always have a atorney number on hand )

When I tried the autocomplete in IntelliJ it kept trying to guess what I wanted to do instead of autocompleting what I was typing so I don’t know about that part.

Still millions of ton of CO2 for a search bar and autocomplete doesn’t seems like a good idea.
