Exactly this. Micron ended their consumer RAM. Sansung here is just stopping producing something that is arguably outdated, and has a perfectly fine, already more available, most often cheaper or equivalent modern replacement.

That is not how the internet works

Because Eurovision doesn’t have “Must be a european country” as a rule

Not every system fits every country.

France had republics before the current 5th that had the president as more of a ceremonial role. But it did not work for us, and both the third and fourth republics ended up with political instability and governments falling one after the other.

The 5th republic purposefully gave more power to the president, to remediate the political instability that France had seen with the previous systems. It works.

No democratic system is perfect. The one Greece has, per your comment, sounds great in theory. But the day where the 3 top parties can’t come to an agreement, and the elections don’t change the outcome, you’ll have an extended period of instability where the government is unable to do anything. And that is absolutely awful for a country.

It is great that Greece isn’t encountering these issues. But France has, and the current system is a fix to that. Let’s not repeat bad History by reverting to a system we know does not work for us.

No, it’s by design. Giving the government to the largest group doesn’t always make sense.

If your largest group is 40%, but the other groups forming the remaining 60% all disagree with the largest group, how is it more democratic to give the 40% group the government? Then you have a givernment that only 40% of the parliament supports.

If you pick a government that satisfies the 60% remaining, you then have a government 60% of the parliament supports. How is that less democratic?

It’s more complicated than that. Don’t get me wrong, I voted for the left block and was pissed they didn’t get to form a government. But it is more complicated than that.

The president has to pick a government that will be able to pass laws with the vote of the parliament. While the left block had the plurality, the rest of the parliament would likely not have voted their policies. Picking a government that would satisfy the rest of the parliament was the best move for stability and to have a government able to do something.

That’s not anti democratic. And that’s actually the system that is used in most representative democracies, in different forms, which always summarises to: Head of state picks a government that has the most chances to be accepted by the parliament.

Not a single part of your answer is about how the brain works.

Concepts are not things in your brain.

Consciousness is a concept. It doesn’t exist in your brain.

Thinking is how a human uses their brain.

I’m asking about how the brain itself functions to intepret natural language.

That doesn’t answer the question you quoted.

Of course the “understanding” of an LLM is limited. Because the entire technology is new, and it’s far from being anywhere close to being able to understand to the level of a human.

But I disagree with your understanding of how an LLM works. At its lower level, it’s a bunch on connected artifical neurons, not that different from a human brain. Now please don’t read this as me saying it’s as good as a human brain. It’s definitely not, but its inner workings are not so far. As a matter of fact, there is active effort to make artificial neurons behave as close as possible to a human neuron.

If it was just statistics, it wouldn’t be so difficult to look at the trained model and identify what does what. But just like the human brain, it is incredidbly difficult to understand that. We just have a general idea.

So it does understand, to a limited extent. Just like a human, it won’t understand what it hasn’t been exposed to. And unlike a human, it is exposed to a very limited set of data.

You’re putting the difference between a human’s “understanding” and an LLM’s “understanding” in the meaning of the word “understanding”, which is just a shortcut to say that they can’t be compared. The actual difference is in the scope of understanding.

A lot of the efforts in the AI fields gravitate around imitating a human brain. Which makes sense, as it is the only thing we know that is capable of doing what we want an AI to do. LLMs are no different, but their scope is limited.

They are talking at a technical level only on one side of the comparison. It makes the entire discussion pointless. If you’re going to compare the understanding of a neural network and the understanding of a human brain, you have to go into depth on both sides.

Mysticism? Lmao. Where? Do you know what the word means?

You’re entering a more philosophical debate than a technical one, because for this point to make any sense, you’d have to define what “understanding” language means for a human in a level as low as what you’re describing for an LLM.

Can you affirm that what a human brain does to understand language is so different to what an LLM does?

I’m not saying an LLM is smart, but saying that it doesn’t understand, when having computers “understand” natural language is the core of NLP, is meh.

That is actually incorrect. It is also a language understanding tool. You don’t have an LLM without NLP. NLP includes processing and understanding natural language.

It can definitely break when mishandled. With kids you probably don’t want glass furniture.

Exactly. All that the stats do in this case is show what everyone knows: There is a racism problem in hiring.

It doesn’t help prove anything in a court of law, and the multitude of otherwise valid excuses to hide racism make it almost impossible to prove that the true reason is racism.

I’m not certain having data on people’s ethnicity is helping at all with discrimination on hiring.

There is very strict laws in France against discrimination as well. The problem isn’t that there isn’t ethnic data, the problem is that it’s really hard to prove that a candidate was rejected because of their ethnicity.

I’d be happy to be proven wrong though.

For a small to medium company it’s not necessarily worth it.

I use my own gitea server. If I was willing to pay for a more solid service I’d probably go for GitLab.

Ah, I didn’t get the sarcasm at first! Because it is on its own microplate that makes it challenging to build a bridge. I thought you might mean that with an… interesting understanding of it.

What do you mean by that? Cause the exact words you used are quite obviously incorrect.

I honestly don’t understand why Github hasn’t been abandoned by users at this point. If I were a company, I’d either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.

I’m just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago
