I don't understand your point. How is it good that the developers thought they were faster? Does that imply anything at all in LLMs' favour? IMO that makes the situation worse because we're not only fighting inefficiency, but delusion.

20% slower is substantial. Imagine the effect on the economy if 20% of all output was discarded (or more accurately, spent using electricity).

I honestly don't believe it's snarky. I think a lot of us have had enough of this corporate AI hype bullshit

How reliable is this study? Is it peer-reviewed?

Mullvad browser fights fingerprinting. You can check how exposed you are here (no idea how good this site is https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/)

I'm torn between using woodpecker and trying out their new CI. I love the idea of no vendor tie-in, but I also want an easy time

maybe it was life, not organism (is there a difference?): the seven characteristics https://assets.cambridge.org/97805216/80547/excerpt/9780521680547_excerpt.pdf

A quick google search https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1000524 "As a group, parasites are extraordinarily diverse ... Underlying this diversity is evolution."

I understand the definition of organism is notoriously problematic. Under the definition given in schools, fire is an organism.

I'm not stating a viewpoint (I'm not qualified), but I think it's much more complex than this.

care to expand?

I can see AI code being the source of the next UK post office scandal

I'd wager that most new questions are in cutting-edge tech. Older tech will be saturated.
