We did this for a friend’s birthday at uni. There were about 20 of us. Great night haha

I used to love texting these numbers when drunk.

It wasn’t programmed for any questions. It was trained hehe

That’s not what LLMs are for. That’s like hammering a screw and being irritated it didn’t twist in nicely.

The turing test is designed to see if an AI can pass for human in a conversation.

Linux is a pain in the ass to use and many people just seem to use it to feel better than others.

It’s much easier to just properly configure Windows

For the majority of commercial users they literally don’t give a fuck either. It’s on techies that really care about his stuff sadly.

Wetware is my new least favourite word.

But super interesting tech.

I didn’t say LLM. AI has existed since the 50s/60s. Fuzzy matching is an AI technique.

They do it much better than anything you can hard code currently.

That is indeed a poor use. Searching traditionally first and falling back to it would make way more sense.

Google’s algorithm has pretty much always used AI techniques.

It doesn’t have to be a synonym. That’s just an example.

Typing diabetes and getting medical services as a result wouldn’t be possible with that technique unless you had a database of every disease to search against for all queries.

The point is AI means you don’t have to have a giant lookup of linked items as it’s trained into it already.

No it’s not.

Fuzzy matching is a search technique that uses a set of fuzzy rules to compare two strings. The fuzzy rules allow for some degree of similarity, which makes the search process more efficient.

That allows for mis typing etc. it doesn’t allow context based searching at all. Cat doesn’t fuzz with pet. There is no similarity.

Also it is an AI technique itself.

Honestly I feel people are using them completely wrong.

Their real power is their ability to understand language and context.

Turning natural language input into commands that can be executed by a traditional software system is a huge deal.

Microsoft released an AI powered auto complete text box and it’s genius.

Currently you have to type an exact text match in an auto complete box. So if you type cats but the item is called pets you’ll get no results. Now the ai can find context based matches in the auto complete list.

This is their real power.

Also they’re amazing at generating non factual based things. Stories, poems etc.

I’ve seen would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a random man somewhere in there.

Winget, get a popup when things request elevated rights,

Tbf they genuinely do.

They’ve invested heavily in Linux and are one of its major contributors. I think they were in the top 5 of contributors.

They realised years ago the Linux desktop isn’t going to take off with the average user. So there’s no need to compete directly.

Azure actually runs on their own custom distribution of Linux.

I use 10 at home and 11 at work and I can’t say I’ve really noticed a difference tbh. Apart from the start menu I guess.

Feels similar to what people said about 7 and 10.

There is a setting to disabled them.

It is for a large number of jobs though. So its attempt to do what you want with your life or don’t take the predatory loan. It’s a shit situation all round.

When it’s the only option for an education I would say willingly is a bit strong of a word.
