Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

This is the most "insufferable redditor" stereotype shit possible, and to think we're not even on Reddit

[–] self@awful.systems 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

nah, the most insufferable Reddit shit was when you decided Lemmy doesn’t want to learn because somebody called you out on the confident bullshit you’re making up on the spot

like LLM like shithead though am I right?

like LLM like shithead

fuck, there's potential here, but a bit too specific for a t-shirt?

like llm like idiot

perhaps?

a'ight, sure bub, let's play

tell me what hw spec I need to deploy some kind of interactive user-facing prompt system backed by whatever favourite LLM/transformer-model you want to pick. idgaf if it's llama or qwen or some shit you've got brewing in your back shed - if it's on huggingface, fair game. here's the baselines:

  • expected response latencies: human, or better
  • expected topical coherence: mid-support capability or above
  • expected correctness: at worst "I misunderstood $x" in the sense of "whoops, sorry, I thought you were asking about ${foo} but I answered about ${bar}"; i.e. actual, contextual, concrete contextual understanding

(so, basically, anything a competent L2 support engineer at some random ISP or whatever could do)

hit it, I'm waiting.

you'll be waiting a while. it turns out "i'm not saying it's always programming.dev, but" was already in my previous ban reasons, and it was this time too.
