you’re so close to getting it

fulfilling his role as the governor of Canada

Pretty much what you’d expect from a carnie in charge of the neoliberal circus in Canada.

The art of the squeal!

This is a press release from a defense contractor.

Remember how Europe derided China for having the firewall and not allowing US companies to monopolize its digital sphere. This is why.

The Americans tried to use the exact same carrot and stick to force India to cut trade with Russia they’re now trying to use with China. It’s gonna work out exactly the same way. The reality is that China produces things everyone needs, and there is no substitute. Meanwhile, all the US has to offer is the dwindling consumer market. Countries that haven’t been vassalized entirely will just take the short term hit and move on.

personally, I can’t see India caving on this any more than they did on Russian sanctions

Oh yeah that’s a good use case as well, it’s a kind of a low risk and tedious task where these things excel at.

so brave

I find they’re pretty good at some coding tasks. For example, it’s very easy to make a reasonable UI given a sample JSON payload you might get from an endpoint. They’re good at doing stuff like crafting farily complex SQL queries or making shell scripts. As long as the task is reasonably focused, they tend to get it right a lot of the time. I find they’re also useful for discovering language features working with languages I’m not as familiar with. I also find LLMs are great at translation and transcribing images. They’re also useful for summaries and finding information within documents, including codebases. I’ve found it makes it a lot easier to search through papers where you might want to find relationships between concepts or definitions for things. They’re also good at subtitle generation and well as doing text to speech tasks. Another task I find they’re great at is proofreading and providing suggestions for phrasing. They can also make a good sounding board. If there’s a topic you understand, and you just want to bounce ideas off, it’s great to be able to talk through that with a LLM. Often the output it produces can stimulate a new idea in my head. I also use LLM as a tutor when I practice Chinese, they’re great for doing free form conversational practice when learning a new language. These are a just a few areas I use LLMs in on nearly daily basis now.

The LLM is what I use to build the specific UI using the components from these great UI libraries. There’s practically no logic involved here, it’s just handling layout for components and hooking up events. It’s fantastic to be able to take a JSON payload from an endpoint throw it at a model and get a reasonable UI in seconds.

this is what sniffing glue does to your brain kids

lol I think this mostly happens when people give too broad a task to llms

That said, there is a lot of boring code out there. For example, most UIs are basically just doing CRUD operations, and once you’ve written enough of these things it’s not really that exciting anymore.

Yeah, I find LLMs are really nice for learning a new language when you know what you want to do, but not the specific syntax or best patterns. I’ve also found LLMs are great for stuff like crafting SQL queries, one off shell scripts, and building UIs. They can write certain kinds of code fairly well nowadays, but you want to keep the problem scope clear and focused.

How does people living in a province of China having mainland residency permits divides their loyalties again?
