@Evil_MerlinX @hetmehtaa Chrome has caught up some.

@Alicoh1 I don’t see why not either, but they are currently not very close. If you ignore their search/recall abilities, they’re about as smart as your average seven-year-old. Some seven-year-olds are much smarter than current frontier models.

@BigM447 I have bad allergies and can’t stand the smoke (thanks neighbors) and have tried everything. Zep smoke odor eliminator is what works for me.

@IamLewisU @DrWhatInTheHell I’m not going to tell you that you’re wrong, but you’re definitely missing the point.

@Alicoh1 I wasn’t referring to the intelligence of the user.

@marconiese @macjshiggins That printer is from 2008 or later. At least a decade newer than the computers but not necessarily modern.

@PermitZIPhvac @truongphillipt2 @PaulBoris_ I really don’t think you need to be that smart to see that you shouldn’t be using this as an example of good educational material. A second-grader would be able to see the problems with this. You need to be at least as smart as a third grader to be a teacher.

@lukeweston My memory of this is nearly 10 years old at this point, but I thought Randy was only taken into that room on a special occasion, although I never thought that it made much sense. There were already so many better ways to achieve that even back then.

@unstill_life Are you ignorant of the various types of data centers or are you laughing at something else?

[Normal Tangent @NormalTangent]

@sweexx9 @grok Yes, people thought of that. We were sharding storage across cloud providers 10-15 years ago.

@PunishedRWR About 48% of data centers use evaporative cooling. Closed loop is becoming a lot more common because of the protests, but it’s not exactly universal.

@truongphillipt2 @PaulBoris_ @PermitZIPhvac You’ve mistaken my criticism of the celebration of idiocy for criticism of a pencil sharpener. This type of “omg this LLM just solved engineering” hype is not super helpful if you want to get real work done.

[Normal Tangent @NormalTangent]

@PermitZIPhvac @truongphillipt2 @PaulBoris_ Are you implying that driveshafts are an obsolete technology?

[Normal Tangent @NormalTangent]

@splitbycomma It’s easy to forget that a massive number of people actually believe this, isn’t it. The number of people who believe that data centers were invented in 2022 is much larger than the number of people who actually know what a datacenter is, and there’s not much we can do about that

@ThatAlabastard @craigbob99 @Neko_Tet The cybersecurity term is somewhat accurate because the original flight data recorders and associated equipment were military secrets and even the pilots didn’t know what was in them. At this point the term “black box” itself is considered archaic, so the archaic definition is ok

@PolicyProtest @ShadesOfPunky Lol this person thinks that X users can read.

[Normal Tangent @NormalTangent]

@truongphillipt2 @PaulBoris_ @PermitZIPhvac I don’t want a pencil sharpener from someone AI native, I want someone who knows that a gear that meshes with nothing doesn’t function as a gear. I don’t care what you know about AI if you’re not smart enough to figure out how a driveshaft works.

@historyinmemes This video demonstrates significantly worse “physical intelligence” than a toddler playing with Hot Wheels has. If you’re going to pretend to know the laws of physics then you should at least remember the first one.

@PSLLCConsulting @sonialy0 The quality of human-written code depends on the expertise of the developers, which varies a lot from project to project. Although AI output clearly isn’t what we would call “high quality” yet, it’s obviously better than a lot of human developers could do, and more consistent.
