@bender I noticed that I can’t *type* a . directly. Yesterday, I *pasted* the number from an email (because why would I type it and probably make a mistake in the process?), so it looks like it simply stripped the dot entirely …

@lyse Dots as thousands separators are the most confusing thing to me. 🥴 I like '. Basically, anything *at the bottom* should be a decimal point and anything *at the top* a thousands separator.

Maybe it’s time to think about taking the website and all software offline.

This will open the gates of hell, allowing lawyers to harass free software developers. Not because of the actual content of those proposed laws, because there is supposed to be an exemption for free software – but because there is a great tradition here in germany, where lawyers just make false claims and try to extort money from you. Can you safely ignore them? Should you seek legal council immediately? You never know. It’s best to avoid becoming a target in the first place.

Besides, the current wording is just an EU thing. It will have to be transformed into german law (and french law and spanish law …), which means our legislative bodies can screw up things big time. It’s quite possible that they won’t include that exemption or include it in a very vague and ambiguous way.

I’m really angry right now and hopefully I’ll think differently tomorrow.

Educação em Portugal:

Há uma greve de todos os Profissionais de Educação agendada para 15 de novembro de 2024, porque se reenvidicam coisas como a necessidade de mais profissionais da educação.

O que faz o Governo? Anuncia a Inteligência Artificial Portuguesa, um LLM que vai ser usada para "dar a cada aluno um tutor educativo de inteligência artificial".

@movq that would have never worked for me. I don’t have that kind of money in a bank account. 😂

We should standardise numerical notations, at least the nations using the Arabic numerals. Spain also uses the period as the thousands separator. For legibility sake, commas and periods make sense, like €3,500.25, for example. That’s three thousand five hundred Euros, and 25 Euro cents. But this should also work: €3500.25.

It makes little sense that €334.90 gets interpreted as €33490 (or €33,490). 🤯

Oof, is it any wonder some of us don't want to just give out our info online willy-nilly.

Also that credit card 'encryption' will likely land that company in very hot water, no doubt far away from PCI DSS requirements.
@prologic what do we make of Labor's proposed social media minimum age ban, I.e ID verification, and the likes of Yarn? I haven't been able to find out exactly how far the legislation goes, but some have said it's broad enough to include any site that even has a comment section 🤔 but that could be FUD.
@movq The dot is the thousands separator, so I'm surprised that it did not interpret it as €334,900.00. Luckily, you caught it in time! :-)
@xuu Hahaha, nice expression. :-D

Numbers are hard. I just *almost* accidentally sent 33k€ to someone via bank transfer, because the banking website interpreted 334.90 as 33490,00. 😬 This is germany, so it wants a comma, not a dot …

You need to figure out what it means to have "free thought", "to reason", "have deep understanding" and be able to apply knowledge in unfamiliar environments or scenarios. You have to figure out what it means to "dream". You have to figure out what it means to hold "ethics", "morals" and even "beleifs".

@slashdot When are we going to resign ourselves to a position of not achieving AGI and so-called AI in the first place? Hmmm 🧐 Fundamentally I don't think we understand how the human brain works or what it means to be a "conscious free thinking being" -- I'm not convinced we'll figure this out to be honest.

@prologic using Yarn he isn’t supposed to follow it, it should show as context, no?
They are however pretty good at auto-complete though. If you wire up Continue.dev with VSCode and a local Ollama powered codeastral model, it's pretty decent. Or if you use the open source friendly Codeium.

@eldersnake With enough data and enough computing power you can simulate anything right or create grand illusions that appear to real they're hard to tell 😅 -- But yes, at the end of the day LLM(s) today are just large probabilistic models, stochastic parrots.

I like this comment on Slashdot in the above link:


>LLMs don't have an understanding of anything. They can only regurgitate derivations of what they've been trained on and can't apply that to something new in the same ways that humans or even other animals can. The models are just so large that the illusion is impressive.

So true.

@bender Fair point, could be. I probably have to implement it first or create some kind of a mockup to spare me the effort of some feature that I rip out again. :-)
