  • I use LLMs daily as a professional software engineer. I didn't downvote you and I'm not disengaging my thinking here. RAGs don't solve everything, and it's better not to sacrifice scientific credibility to the altar of convenience.

    It's always been easier to lie quickly than to dig for the truth. AIs are not consistent, regardless of the additional appendages you give them. They have no internal consistency by their very nature.

  • I'm a professional software engineer and I've used RAG. It doesn't prevent all hallucinations. Nothing can. The "hallucinations" are a fundamental part of the LLM architecture.

  • Sure, I don't doubt they'll continue with at least one more minor patch in the coming weeks. Typically it's not till something like .3 or .4 till the minor version patches cool down

  • This is a bad idea. It's extremely likely to hallucinate at one point or another no matter how many tools you equip it with, and humans will eventually miss some fully made up citation or completely misrepresented conclusion.

  • It's better to do it now, now that a bunch of the migration edge cases were ironed out by 10.11.1

  • When people say "street-level hero", what they typically mean is a hero who doesn't have strong enough powers to be in the big leagues, think "fighting crime" rather than "fighting alien invaders/gods/interdimensional beings"

  • The only thing keeping Luke Cage from approaching Thor/Superman levels of OP is that he doesn't really have a movement power. At best he can run really fast or jump really far, but he's too conscientious to go launching himself all over the city like the Hulk. If he landed on somebody (or their car or whatever) he'd feel pretty bad about it, so it's not really an option unless he's in the middle of nowhere.

  • Likewise with Rage Against The Machine

  • More like 40

  • As if Starlink wasn't already

  • Right, in which case the door they're in front of is the safe door because they lied and said "Yes" when asked if the truth teller is in front of the safe door. And if they tell the truth and say yes, they're still the person in front of the safe door. By asking it that way they make it so it doesn't matter if they're the liar or not. "Yes" means that person's door is safe and "No" means you want the other door, no matter who you ask.

  • Agreed. The writing for the last couple seasons has been insanely good.

  • It is solvable. You ask one guard at random, "Which door would the other guard have said leads to certain doom if I had asked them?"

    And no matter which guard you ask, go through the door they answer with. If it was the truth teller guard, they'll tell you which door the liar would have said, and if it's the liar they'll lie about which door the truth teller would have said.

  • Reminds me of the 00s when every tabletop game got ported to the d20 system (so, ported to be d&d compatible, kinda). It's a sign of the times when a monopoly starts absorbing everything else. Magic The Gathering just had a massively successful Final Fantasy set this past summer despite there being a full separate Final Fantasy trading card game.

  • I'd say this is more of a "RPGs are great" moment than anything else. Any table could have stories like this with any system. It's only a d&d story in particular because that's the most popular system. Any system can be house-ruled to do whatever, and that's the joy of pen and paper games as opposed to board games or video games, where the rules are more difficult to change.

  • I've met several grown people who get mad when that's not what you give them as "friendship"

  • You should really try Kodi. There are a ton of alternative theme options for it and the video player built into it can play anything
