I think there is no equivalency between compilers and other tools, and LLMs. As the comment states, they are just the statistical prediction of what would come next. Compilers may sometimes give unexpected outcomes, but they are working to a defined set of rules and there is potential to see how they actually came to that outcome and address it.

Added to this is the prevalence of people thinking that LLMs can allow them to do anything, whether or not they understand it, it’s even sold like that. In my own organisation I have an operations manager thinking he can make pages for our Intranet - where does it store the data? How is access controlled? So many basic questions that an actual programmer would know to think of. Sure you can just keep asking people if they can fly a plane and maybe one will do well enough that they get you all the way there, till it comes to landing and it’s too late - maybe better to just ask a pilot to do it.

Our software engineers use it really well, they can read what it’s outputting to understand if it’s wrong, they know how to prompt it to avoid issues, they use it for snippets and fixes and that it won’t just write a whole program. However, it’s benefit to us (and the world) is nowhere near worth the monetary and environmental cost. The investors pouring in money are hoping they can be the company that people become reliant on, so they can survive the bubble and their ultimate goal of replacing real people.

They misspelt ‘dawler’

That is a majority stake in what they sell, but you can’t go past the fact they also sell easy solutions to complex problems, combined with a lot of outright lies. I think that there is also so many punitive measures for people that at already struggling economically, who are there through no fault of their own - that a portion of the One Nation vote are just happy to burn it all down, cause they can’t see how it could be worse for them.

Looks like they already put some in it

Clearly they had one day a year scheduled for sex

I find that interesting, in my family unit of my 2 parents, 4 siblings and our 5 partners, we don’t even have 2 birthdays in the same month - which just makes it sound even more counter-intuitive to me, not that I’m disbelieving it, just relating it to my personal experience. . Once we go to the next generation, with my children, nieces and nephews, that adds another 12 people and the closest we got was 3 days apart.

No, I hate cash and love the convenience of card via phone. I just don’t think it’s fair that if someone chooses to pay via cash, or a lower surcharge card, etc, that they are burdened with the cost of every one else’s choice. I’m happy to pay extra for what’s convenient for me and I think this concept of card fees meaning you don’t pay the “real cost” is idealogical nonsense, especially when you can get service fees, convenience fees, digital ticket fee, etc, etc. A good change would have been regulating reasonable costs by the bank.

Somebody has a kink 👆

Okay, though if this created a resurgence in the cash economy, I think the government would amend the legislation. A lot of companies might not want to deal with the cost/ risk of handling more cash.

Mostly I expect that the highest card surcharge will become the new price and if there is a cash price, it will just be the current price at best. It really looks like it will just mean higher prices for all consumers and less versatility - the biggest rent payment platform owned by Macquarie bank has already stated they just won’t accept cards any more.

Yes, I realise this, my point was that the cost doesn’t disappear, it’s just hidden

I wouldn’t keep stealing Ferraris if they weren’t so expensive, so they should cut the cost to something more reasonable and it’ll cut the crime rate.

I mean, I agree, but she’s kinda setting the tone

Unfortunately the new legislation only stops unforwarding the charge directly, there is nothing to stop the banks and card companies charging the vendor. Prices will likely go up across the board and if you pay cash, you’ll technically be paying part of everyone’s card surcharge.

I suspect that any attempts to discount for cash will be quashed, if it’s not already buried in there.

You’re not, it’s AI

Hmm, interesting, maybe I’ve been blacklisted. Though most of my family have ADHD, so more likely one of them brought in the mail and put it “somewhere safe”

The last few censuses, yes, and originally you could not opt out

But if it’s anonymous how do they know you didn’t do it?

Besides, I have genuinely not received or seen any official information about when the census is or how to do it - i only know it happened (is happening?) from people i know talking about having done it. How i was even meant to be informed?

Yeah, I hate it, because i genuinely love the premise of the census, but the data can get massively skewed if it’s not fully anonymous. Like looking at the US and thinking do you want a chance someone can verify you said you were trans.
