@sarahjamielewis I agree that we need AP baked into a browser.

@nlupo sed kiom?

@TerryHancock yes, that is actually the premise of this poll.

@mpjgregoire let's say you do as good a job as you would otherwise do for paid work.

What I think about every time I'm doing Data Structures and Algorithms homework

@atoponce I think "would it take" implies that you choose the minimum value that you'd accept.

@bangskij "or more"

@nancycomics what is this, House of Leaves?

@nancycomics OH SHIT

I know this sounds rudimentary but it's been puzzling me for over a week.

I got my Amazon EKS cluster talking to my Amazon RDS database! I gave up on the default networking structure that created a virtual network for each and connected them through a peering system. Instead, I created a new database and stuffed it into the exact same network, with all the same security settings, as the cluster. It worked! Hooray for me.

@DeliaChristina one thing I love about Wiktionary is that if gives etymologies for non-English words in English.

@quinn fair point that we use a much smaller "training set" than LLMs, though.

@quinn I don't think we know enough about how humans construct language to say that definitively. We know that copying and using patterns is a big way we learn language; I think that at least in part we might construct sentences in a similar way to how LLMs do it.

@quinn I'm not sure I entirely agree with this sentence:

"Not that they are slow and dumb — they are doing something wholly different than I am when I write this, or you as you read it."

@philip @copiesofcopies @ben I don't think any of the long-form text services right now support followers-only posts, though. So it's a valid question!
