Being rude and condescending back didn’t improve the situation.
You were correct, factually, and they were wrong. People don’t like being told that they’re wrong and being rude is one of the more common reactions. If you’re going to try to engage with people on topics where there is a lot of ignorance and misinformation you’ll encounter that a lot.
If you’re just going to hit back then you’re going to be spending a lot of time pissed off and wasting your time trash talking people who don’t care what you have to say. To me, that tactic generates a lot of headache and no gain. Once it gets toxic I’d rather disengage or write as if I’m addressing the other members of the community who are reading along. Lemmy is still small enough where you can recognize people and develop a reputation so taking the high ground vs toxic people can pay dividends in terms of having other people listen to your opinions.


A large portion of the comments in this thread are you arguing with various people. It’s needlessly combative and condescending.
You’re treating conversations as if they were conflicts instead of recognizing that you and the other party are simply misunderstanding each other.
You appear to know what you’re talking about, but you are a little too reddit-pilled in your argument style.


E: downboats for facts, I guess
Downvote because you can be right and also be an asshole.


They have like 3 conversations that are 25 comments deep displaying the same pedantic and confrontational conversational style. No point, just ‘you’re wrong’ wrapped in different toxic packages.

Texas? 😂


If my local datacenter exploded I’d join the search and rescue team helping rescue the trapped DDR5.


Truly the most humble person of all time.


Calculators are not computers, computers contain calculator-like elements but a calculator is no more a computer than a passenger jet is a coffee shop by virtue of having a coffee pot onboard.
Calculators cannot fabricate answers, but nor are they 100% correct due to things like bitflips and square root approximations. They also cannot write text, so the comparison would make even less sense.
LLMs and Humans can fabricate answers in written text so comparing the fabrication rate in written text of an LLM to a human (both entities which generate their answers with neural networks) makes more sense than to compare either to a calculator which neither uses a neural network or produces text.
So ‘we’ should compare like things and not choose items based on superficial similarities.


Calculators are not people, Mr. <1.19%.


Everything is temporary.
Political participation is a full-time job, keep the pressure on and the change will endure.


At 32K, the best model (GLM 4.5) fabricates 1.19% of answers
Not bad, I don’t know many people who are 98.81% accurate in their statements.


Sci-Fi dystopia/Cyberpunk has called a lot of things correctly.


This is why I’ve been limiting myself to local AI for most things.
Much like Smartphones, Social Media, etc… there is going to be a corporate product that is ‘better’ but the cost is all of your privacy and unknown second order effects (like the online advertising model turning into a political propaganda tool).


Let me ask ChatGPT Claude


I’m sure this will make RAM cheaper


I’ve had a look at their bank balances, they could afford a few backups


I can’t believe all of you who are opposed to this.
Won’t you think of the poor data brokers who’s entire library of intimate personal details about every person who’s ever used a smartphone is practically worthless without the ability to link it to your actual identity.
Screw the children, think of the shareholders you monsters.


Nobody in the regular world has ever been effected by not having ECC.
Based on the article, it looks like at least 10% of crashes are caused by not having ECC.
Linus suffers from not understanding normal people.
Well, you are demonstrating that you’re an expert people person so I’ll just have to take your word.
