On top of that, it’s an annoyingly disproportionate graphic. The cow is much wider than the human so its area is much more than 60% of the area of the graphic.
The owl might be 3cm high and the hen 6cm high, but 9cm² and 36cm² would be the rough areas, even if it weren’t for the fact that again, the hen picture is much, much wider than the owl.
With 30% and 70%, the owl should just be a little under half as big as the hen, but it looks like about 1/4 or 1/5 of the size of the hen.
Best comment on lemmy today.
That is stunningly beautiful. Wow.
It’s the physical grain of the canvas.
The fifth Doctor knows who the Portreeve of Castrovalva really is.
Yes and no. Beliefs can definitely shape reality.
If someone believes that they can’t do something difficult, they often don’t attempt it, so don’t acquire the skills they would need, and stay unable to do it. The converse is also true.
Children are heavily influenced by their parents’ beliefs about them.
Believing something about different brands of soda doesn’t change the chemical composition of them, but in a world where products are judged on their sales rather than their chemical composition, changing the perception of a product can fundamentally change its sales, making it a better product by the only objective measure that’s consistently used. This is even more true in the world of fashion, for example very strongly with trainers etc.
Anything where human behaviour changes reality is a place where beliefs change reality.
Our beliefs shape the world strongly and powerfully. They change reality.
(Personally and irrelevantly to your question, think it’s weird to shave your pubes, and I think that based on who started that trend, why they started it and why it became popular, but people younger than me, who don’t remember any different disagree strongly.)
But the fact that your son trusts you with that question and that you calmly helped him and didn’t make a big deal out of it, is an absolute parenting win. Who does your teenaged son go to when he’s worried about something personal and sensitive and embarrassing? He goes to you, and you help him and he is right to trust you.
You are doing excellently as a dad.
This is you
I already told you my experience of the crapness of LLMs and even explained why I can’t share the prompt etc. You clearly weren’t listening or are incapable of taking in information.
There’s also all the testing done by the people talked about in the article we’re discussing which you’re also irrationally dismissing.
You have extreme confirmation bias.
Everything you hear that disagrees with your absurd faith in the accuracy of the extreme blagging of LLMs gets dismissed for any excuse you can come up with.
You’re so insightful and wise. You have learned much from other viewpoints.
It’s like you didn’t listen to anything I ever said, or you discounted everything I said as fiction, but everything your dear LLM said is gospel truth in your eyes. It’s utterly irrational. You have to be trolling me now.
… because this sign was made before the IBM PC was invented.
Language changes over time.
I think you’re missing sarcasm for insanity, and the reason that you’re doing that is that you were already belittling their viewpoint quite fiercely, rejecting absolutely everything they said just because you disagree with their conclusion.
it’s so good at parsing text and documents, summarizing
No. Not when it matters. It makes stuff up. The less you carefully check every single fucking thing it says, the more likely you are to believe some lies it subtly slipped in as it went along. If truth doesn’t matter, go ahead and use LLMs.
If you just want some ideas that you’re going to sift through, independently verify and check for yourself with extreme skepticism as if Donald Trump were telling you how to achieve world peace, great, you’re using LLMs effectively.
But if you’re trusting it, you’re doing it very, very wrong and you’re going to get humiliated because other people are going to catch you out in repeating an LLM’s bullshit.
Has lots of experience starting things, yet doesn’t look old. Hmmm.
I have a similar story, but it got worse and worse with the lies as it got through the table. I fought it for an hour, then I wrote a script instead.
You’re better off asking one human to do the same task ten times. Humans get better and faster at things as they go along. Always slower than an LLM, but LLMs get more and more likely to veer off on some flight of fancy, further and further from reality, the more it says to you. The chances of it staying factual in the long term are really low.
It’s a born bullshitter. It knows a little about a lot, but it has no clue what’s real and what’s made up, or it doesn’t care.
If you want some text quickly, that sounds right, but you genuinely don’t care whether it is right at all, go for it, use an LLM. It’ll be great at that.
I was trying to think of some other meaning than ‘drinks dispensary’ for ‘bar’ and I couldn’t think of a sensible reason for putting a bar in your shower for quite a while until I realised metal bar.
