Evolution by artificial selection is still evolution.

Vance would almost certainly not be reelected, sure, but Trump isn't eligible to run, so it'll be an uphill battle for him too. He isn't stupid enough to get removed from office, and that's all that he has to do: sign Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, and John Birch Society bills for the rest of the term.

Before the election, sure, but replacing Trump with JD Vance doesn't inhibit the power structures that he represents nearly as much as offing three billionaires.

Oh, it's fucking horrible at writing entire codebases. I'm talking about specifically tab completion. You still have to read what it's suggesting, just like with IntelliSense and other pre-LLM autocomplete tools, but it sometimes finishes your thoughts and saves you some typing.

Is Diddy a pedo? I know he's an absurdly prolific rapist, but I'd only heard of his adult victims.

I've found it better than the weighted dictionary for prose, and way better for code. Code autocompletion was always really limited, but now every couple dozen lines it suggests exactly what I was going to type anyway. Never on anything particularly clever, mind you, but it saves some tedium.

LLMs are actually really good at a handful of specific tasks, like autocomplete. The problem arises when people think that they're on the path to AGI and treat them like they know things.

Christian Baby Guy is a legend. They're like off-brand Chuck Tingle.

And this isn't even a satirical article, it's just a lie.

I liken it to a single incredibly fast core and a scheduler that was written in Malbolge. I also have a ton of cache, but no RAM.

The 7G4 is on par in speed with the 888, but it uses a lot less power. And with decent software updates, a Snapdragon 820 is still fast enough for most people (including me).

And even with a perfect capture of a tape that somehow hasn't aged, VHS quality is still crap compared to even DVD, let alone HD formats.
