By that token, is the harmed party here also immature? Also do you work at GitHub and did he hurt your feelings by... being dead accurate as to several engineering failures?
I mean, focus on whatever you want, but he hasn't done anything Linus Torvalds hasn't done (at least similar enough).
I mean... You could always ChatGPT it yourself, could you not? Your ability to find information around this doesn't appear to be hampered by anything other than your imagination.
I would be curious as to what your prompt ends up being (and the reply obviously) if you choose to do so.
I think my prompt and the response I get would be likely to just reflect my own biases (leftist, anti-monopoly etc), which IMO wouldn't add any more to the discussion than did my own annoyance at being downvoted, lol. I think history is so full of examples of top-heavy economies succumbing to stagnation and collapse, it almost doesn't bear mentioning any. Likewise, I think that someone with opposite opinions could get an opposite answer from a sycophantic LLM, and both of us hiding behind LLMs merely obfuscates the debate.
That is to say, I was hoping to get an elaboration of the implicit critique in the comment I originally replied to, since that person seemed so upset that they must have had a profound disagreement with the premise in the article, rather than just being upset that the author didn't seem to have used AI. I suspect they don't want to reply because they know any examples of "strong economies" where the gains were monopolized by a few key players can be easily countered with the story of how those economies subsequently entered a terminal decline, and/or relied on state subsidies to survive. It would also be self-defeating for me to consult AI since I disdain that person's apparent sentiment that we should always default to LLMs instead of having human discussions, considering evidence on our own and reaching our own conclusions.
So why would it take off there instead of in a larger city with more resources?
I'm not disagreeing with you completely, but I would like to know more about what other factors you would consider to have been more impactful. I don't know that you really need hippies around to get that kind of 'california capitalist' mentality either tbf.
As far as I knew I was agreeing with the commenter not condescending. The title is a great example of it's kind. It's funny enough to stop one interrogating the proposition it makes.
Try to understand that there is no individual ownership over turns of phrase, and that they tend to shift around over time. Bugs Bunny turned Nimrod from a byword for a competent hunter into an insult.
This is natural and all of your favorite words have or will be subject to it as long as there are humans to communicate with them.
Dictionaries - at least the ones I checked - mark the "very good" meaning of "egregious" as archaic. I'm only aware of the "very bad" meaning (in UK English), and was quite surprised, when studying maths, to learn of Gauss's "Theorema Egregium", and that the word could have positive connations.
Shit (meaning “how true”), shit is veritably the aladeen of words. It can basically mean anything depending on usage, context, attitude, or tone of voice.
VPN providers are first and foremost trust businesses. Why would you choose and pay one that is not well established and trusted? Mine have been there for more than a decade by now.
Alternatively, you could just set up your own (cheaper?) VPN relay on the tiniest VPS you can rent on AWS or IBM Cloud, right?
The VPN providers that get you to jump the cloud in China are Chinese, and China is not yet a high trust society, just like how they’ll take your payment for one year of gym fees and then disappear the next week (sigh). If AWS or IBM cloud find out you are using them as a VPN to jump the GFW, they will ban you for life, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, aren’t interested in having their whole cloud added to the GFW block list. Many people have tried this (including Microsfties in China with free Azure credits) and they’ve all been dealt with harshly by the cloud providers.
I agree with yowlingcat's point but I see where you are coming from and also agree with you.
The way I see it, it's a bit like putting up a job posting for 'somebody who knows SSH'. While that is a useful skill, it's really not something you can specialize in since it's just a subset within linux/unix/network administration, if that makes sense.
Yeah basically! I thiught it was a bit ridiculous that they would charge for something so easy to make yourself. For example, I have a series of md files with iterated prompts in a folder and start off a human generated prompt to feed into [insert favorite LLM].
an example seed:
"create a prompt for an agent that will help me reduce prompt token usage and speed up results without losing necessary complexity. can you build a prompt that I use to this end?"
After a bunch of recursive prompting:
"Optimize the provided 'Original Prompt' into an 'Optimized Prompt'.
The 'Optimized Prompt' must:
- Be token-efficient.
- Be maximally clear, precise, unambiguous, with direct instructions.
- Be ideal for advanced AI model processing.
- Preserve the 'Original Prompt's' core intent and task.
- Retain 'Original Prompt's' details, nuances, analytical requirements, output formats, and complexity, without oversimplification.
Apply this optimization method:
1. From 'Original Prompt', eliminate: conversational filler, redundancy, pleasantries, self-references.
2. Use: strong, direct action verbs.
3. Be: specific, direct. Replace vague terms with precise equivalents.
4. Clearly state: task, context, constraints, output format. Explicitly define implied formats (e.g., list, JSON, steps).
5. Logically group related instructions.
6. Ensure 'Optimized Prompt' is a direct command."
It's brutishly simple, but part of the (imho self evident) process is editing the prompts as you continue to feed it back in on itself.
I mean, focus on whatever you want, but he hasn't done anything Linus Torvalds hasn't done (at least similar enough).
