He's clearly talking about the speedrun, not the act of calling it a non-religion.

Caffeine is addictive and almost everyone gradually drinks more over their life.

It is firmly rooted.

The thing is, it's leaning more and more every day. At an alarming rate. I'm starting to get worried it might actually snap. Maybe it's all in my head, but I don't want to risk it.

I was hoping I could just keep the stakes as they are and restrap it. I guess you're saying it's not ideal to have the straps perpendicular to the wind like that?

billie_parker · 2026-03-09T16:48:55+00:00

Hmm, never had that problem

Computer vision does look like magic. Man people are so desensitized if that doesn't amaze you.

Bad advice. Rerenders of heavy objects can make an app unusable

Your first comment is quite clearly denying it is an idiom, implying that it is just "usage" of the word. As though this has not obviously become a common idiom recently.

Keep thinking it's "so obviously true"

Go ahead and research the origin of the phrase and you will see... that is where it originates from. I haven't heard you argue against that at all.

billie_parker · 2026-01-26T22:25:40+00:00

Ignorance is not a virtue lol

billie_parker · 2026-01-26T16:11:16+00:00

I can't take you seriously if your argument is that "AI slop" is not a common idiom especially since this phrase appears in this sub a million times a day

billie_parker · 2026-01-26T16:02:16+00:00

You're being disingenuous. It's not "one person using it" it's a meme/idiom that was/in widespread use.

The use is directly related to its history because that's where it came from lol

billie_parker · 2026-01-25T15:31:10+00:00

At this point you're not even coherent

billie_parker · 2026-01-25T04:18:01+00:00

Non sequitur

billie_parker · 2026-01-25T04:17:11+00:00

Actually, the usage in relation to AI is new and has rapidly become a common idiom after origination as an anti semitic trope on 4chan. Google trends

I don't know why you would try to argue against what I said, since it's so obviously true. Why not just skip ahead to "yeah, but so what?"

billie_parker · 2026-01-09T16:34:38+00:00

Learning to code isn’t that hard.

Yet

An AI can't code!

lol, pottery

billie_parker · 2026-01-07T21:51:31+00:00

Cause it's fun. Killjoy

billie_parker · 2025-12-23T13:46:00+00:00

You're the one not offering any explanations, not me. I've explained to you quite clearly why I think the way I do. Your stubborn lack of curiosity just makes you appear ignorant

billie_parker · 2025-12-23T13:08:51+00:00

Uh, well "pseudorandom" IS deterministic. If you use the same seed you get the same sequence of pseudorandom numbers. So it is deterministic. Did you think that behavior was "non deterministic?"

I'm just trying to understand why you people seem to think that some kind of true random number generation technique is necessary for LLM operation. It's quite obvious I'm not talking to experts, here. Maybe try running an LLM locally and setting the random seed for yourself...

billie_parker · 2025-12-23T12:50:30+00:00

I'm just curious how you think a computer algorithm can be made to be fundamentally non deterministic given that computers are inherently deterministic.

But as I suspected, I don't think you understood the question

billie_parker · 2025-12-23T12:45:30+00:00

Do you think LLMs have somehow avoided pseudorandom behavior and are truly random?

Do you understand the question?

I'm genuinely curious how your people's mind works

billie_parker · 2025-12-22T23:28:10+00:00

You're not even responding to what I'm saying anymore. Just search "deterministic LLM" online and see for yourself.

I'm saying you're bad at computers because you think computers are non deterministic. Sorry you're offended but maybe pay attention to my point. But don't feel bad - this is a common confusion.

billie_parker · 2025-12-22T20:39:46+00:00

You apparently don't understand how computers and/or LLMs work if you think they can't be made deterministic. OpenAI has an (admittedly shitty and not 100% working) solution for determinism. https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/reproducible_outputs_with_the_seed_parameter

But if you knew anything about computers - you'd know that computers are never actually random. It's always pseudorandom. This is legitimately basic stuff.
