Would completely defeat the purpose of making a new smaller file format if we prefix if with the old format.

Probably US-Americans confusing anything that's not predatory capitalism with Russia and China.

Nobody claimed that any sewing machine has PhD level intelligence in almost all topics.

LLMs are marketed as "replaces jobs", "PhD level intelligence", "Reasoning models", "Deep think".

And yet all that "PhD level intelligence" consistently gets the simplest things wrong.

But, prove me wrong. Pick a game, prompt any LLM you like and share it here (the whole conversation not only a code snippet)

Try to play tic tac toe against ChatGPT for example ๐Ÿคฃ (just ask for "let's play ASCII tic tac toe")

Practically loses every game against my 4yo child - if it even manages to play according to the rules.

AI: Trained on the entire internet using billions of dollars. 4yo: Just told her the rules of the game twice.

Currently the best LLMs are certainly very "knowledgeable" (as in, they "know" much more than I - or practically any person - do for most topics) but they are certainly far away from intelligence.

You should only use them of you are able to verify the correctness of the output yourself.

I think the internet was a mistake. Before the internet every town had a few hand full of complete idiots and everybody just laughed at them. Now idiots that share the same delusions meet online and discuss stuff like "flat earth physics"

Maybe cloudflare DNS 1.1.1.1?

Zug is the noun to "ziehen". Like the Lokomotive pulls the wagons and "anziehen" is the German verb for "to dress" and in that case you can "interpret" again a "pull" (like in pullover) and the noun to "anziehen" is "Anzug".

But yes it typically makes at least some sense but sometimes it's pretty abstract or doesn't work very well.

That's intended. Look at the second hand for a minute. It goes 1, 2, 3, etc. like on a real clock but the numbers are distributed differently. That's also why the hands sometimes have to move faster to reach their target in time. It goes (backwards) if it's closer.

 

I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.

This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It's about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.

Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.
