I give 0 fucks about it.

The possum is a friend and not a pest though. I hope you aren’t killing them :(

Possums and Skunks may carry diseases like most wild animals, but usually only show up if there is a rat/mouse infestation around a food/garbage source.

Taming wild animals is bad for their long-term well-being around human populations, as rabies also initially causes uncharacteristically "friendly" behavior at first.

I agree people should leave nature alone whenever possible. =3


Possums are stinky bastards but I love them so much! Juvenile possums are shockingly adorable, just look at these little guys!

Absolutely not.

squish them very gently (and then give them treats)

Yep probably. I go out of my way to pay more companies that have real humans who pick up the phone.

If my mechanic answered with an LLM I’d take my car elsewhere.


Yep: they won’t.

Surprisingly affordable but I’m not really interested in the 9070XT.

If it shipped with like 4090+ (for a higher price) it’d be more tempting.


They offered a version a few months ago with 4x5090 for 25k

Stopped due to raising GPU prices:

9070XT provide roughly same inference performance at double the power, half the cost, as RTX PRO 4500. So this one is optimized for total BOM cost.

Yeah I see this argument being made that it’s ambiguous for humans. Uh, no? Why on earth would I walk to the car wash when I want to wash my car?


By the same reasoning, why on earth would a person sincerely ask you that question unless the car that they want to wash is either already at the car wash, or that someone is bringing it to them there for some reason?

If it's as unambiguous as you say, then the natural human response to that question isn't "you should drive there". It's "why are you fucking with me?" Or maybe "have you recently suffered a head injury?"

If you trust that the questioner isn't stupid and is interacting with you honestly, you'd probably just assume that they were asking about an unusual situation where the answer isn't obvious. It's implicitly baked into the premise of the question.


The fact that this is so obvious to humans is why there's no training data that LLMs can use to know the answer.


How could the car already be at the car wash if you have the option to drive it there?


You might own multiple cars, you might be borrowing someone elses and so forth.


That still doesn't make sense. I'm going to use another car, or borrow a car to drive to a carwash where my car I want to wash is and then....I guess leave it there? Or leave the car I came in?

This isn't a viable out for explaining why AI can't "reason" through this.


But why would they reason through it in that way? You haven't asked them to listen carefully and find the secret reason you're a dumb-ass in order to prove how smart they are. If they default to that mode on every query, that would just make them insufferable conversational partners, which is not the training goal.

Let me put it this way. If you were to prefix the prompts they used with "This is an IQ test: ", I wouldn't be surprised if most of the the models did much better. That would give them the context that the humans reading this article already have.


You already brought the car there earlier? You bought a new car and negotiated that you get it washed, so you want to collect it? You have a butler? You plan to get someone or something from the car wash to do it at home, because the car you want to wash is dead?


I don’t know about civil engineering but don’t people only go to jail for negligence or worse?

Similarly, if the change was a bug, write a postmortem, find ways to make the whole and move on. If it was malicious, then prosecute.

I doubt it was malicious though.


You can say “shit” on the internet.


Only if you let them scan your face first, comrade.


18B market cap does not mean it’s not a joke to a bunch of people.


His point seems to be that being a joke does not disqualify it from having value.


Or being a scam.


Yes. Not for profit does not mean they don’t have money.

With that logic why should non profits have to pay for anything at all?


For the same logic they are tax-exempt. There is a general consensus that their goal is the greater good (like developing sudo and such) and not the usual capitalistic good of generating more money.

Then again, you usual Friday outing of FANG engineers may have more money than some nonprofits too.
