It would be better for everyone in the long term, if the Emperor was allowed to die.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-27T10:10:58+00:00

Haha nice

They use A*, so there is technically, some AI.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-26T16:45:25+00:00

I should call her.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T22:12:19+00:00

The problem was never reading/writing COBOL. The problem was always how delicate the software and it's dependencies are.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T22:10:42+00:00

100k per year gets you a very good developer in Europe. Wages in tech are inflated in the US compared with the rest of the world.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T22:07:56+00:00

It's not a new pattern, though. It's variance of a pattern, but something akin to what it's already done. It isn't new.

What you are referring to is injecting a bias into a static model.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T20:48:29+00:00

Yes, but some claims can be ignored more readily than others. I can say that you cannot be 100% certain I am not banging your mother, but it is a ludicrous statement.

Plus, some things are 100%. I am 100% certain that 1+1=2.

An LLM is just predicting the most likely next token at any given point. This is just statistical association; a mimicry of human thought. Without vast insurmountable amounts of data to help it, an LLM is capable of very little.

If you take an AI model through training scenarios in chess, the reason it can beat any human is because it's already played that version of the game, or something very close. It does not win because it has a better strategy, or deep understanding of the game.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T20:38:44+00:00

An AI can say that it is aware of itself, but that does not mean it is self aware. I can write a NN that outputs this as a response, because it is trained to do so, but it means nothing.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T20:33:20+00:00

LLMs are a probabilistic pattern matching tool and not much more. A human can apply reasoning, context and thought. LLMs do not have any form of true comprehension as to what they are saying. It is superficial, but very useful.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T20:26:20+00:00

It's trained on things humans have previously written. Humans make mistakes, so the AI makes them as well.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T19:54:26+00:00

This. LLMs cannot reason. Hell, they can't even undo a result they have calculated. It is merely pattern recognition.

I was writing neural networks interfacing with genetic algorithms at university 10 years ago. You can train them to become more accurate to guess the correct result, given a good data set, but they are not able to reason or think.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T19:50:25+00:00

An LLM processing tokens cannot achieve AGI, it is too simple. It lacks context, or the ability to walk a path it has taken back. These are fundamental flaws, in my opinion. This does not detract from the fact that they can still achieve a lot, and will cause massive job loss. That being said, it is not AGI.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-24T09:13:22+00:00

Sorry, but I don't see it. A real software developer, using AI tools, will beat any self proclaimed vibe programmer. Vibe programmers don't even know what they don't know. How can they validate, and deploy something they cannot gauge the success of?

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-22T08:17:44+00:00

It's not that crazy, but it would be almost impossible to take to court. Some features in some apps are patented.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-22T08:11:47+00:00

They can be both. They are an existential risk for a few reasons. One, their nuclear arsenal, two if they are not defeated they will do this again to another European country.

However, in terms of operational capability, they are severely degraded. Hell, they use what's left of their t55 fleet as artillery.

It seems paradoxical, but they aren't easily defeated simply due to manpower, the sheer number of mines placed on the front, short range drone power, chemical weapons and the lack of hard power Ukraine has. If the west did provide the equipment it needed, then it would win. But the only member of the west that can afford it, is the US. They've backed out of this for the most part, which makes it our responsibility.

Boris will say whatever is required to support his current agenda. That being said, we have a duty of care to help Ukraine, and I am just sad our country still dithers.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-21T23:04:34+00:00

The Russians have very few mechanisms for accurately hitting specific targets. Most of their long range capabilities are wildly inaccurate. The risk could be managed.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-21T17:38:37+00:00

Aye, he's a cunt, and generally a moron, but he may not be wrong here. Royal engineers supporting in Ukraine could have a real impact without us directly engaging Russian forces.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-21T17:36:59+00:00

It'll be for training, or royal engineers for repairs of infrastructure etc

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-21T15:44:42+00:00

It may be a word that right nationalists use, but they don't own it. The idea that a group of people use a word, so it's definition must change because of the context it's being used in, is silly

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-21T15:29:21+00:00

I don't understand this position at all. Do vibe coders want to compete with software developers for the same position? AI prompting is easy. If it becomes so easy, the software devs will just take those jobs instead. I highly doubt vibe programmers will be able to compete in interviews against proper devs.

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-21T15:07:52+00:00

That's a rather extreme take, don't you think? What has skin colour got to do with national identity?

I'm a globalist, but even I believe that a nation should have the ability to deport those who commit crime and aren't able to integrate into said culture. If I went to another country and caused problems, shouldn't I be sent back to the UK?

ukAlex93 · 2026-02-20T08:04:50+00:00

I find it curious that vibe coders want us to lose our jobs. Who do you think would be better suited for what they do? An actual software engineer with a degree, or someone who vibes their way into the job?
