Are you tired of wrong llm summaries yet? Well too bad cause I just came across my first one in the wild as I have that feature normally turned off.

I am currently learning C and I am not sure the summary feature is doing me any favors.

The other day when asking about the sex ratio of chickens, it told me that fertilized eggs turn into male chickens while unfertilized eggs become female chickens.

[-] Scoopta@programming.dev 35 points 1 week ago

Weirdly and oppositely this is actually how bees reproduce. Fertilized eggs become female, unfertilized become male

[-] squaresinger@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Parthenogenesis only makes sense if the unfertilized offspring is male. Because that way one female can create males to fertilize her to make females.

Clearly LLMs are the future, poised to replaced all the jobs, except the jobs of CEOs.

In case you don't know, C is the successor to B (which used imperial variables). There was a planned successor to C called D, which would use all unitless quantities, like they do in Fermi approximations, but it turns out those aren't very good. That's why we have C++ (which supports metric and imperial) instead.

That's something else stealing the name. As you can see, the wikipedia page doesn't even mention support for unitless metrics as variable types.

[-] 404@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

What? Really? I though that's what the strong C metric/imperial (strcmp) function was for

[-] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What do you mean by "imperial" variables I've never heard of this

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago

Whenever you compile them, they play the Imperial March

[-] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It is by contrast of non imperial variables.

[-] zerofk@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Experial variables, they’re called.

AI is the most successful media franchise in human history

At -1b $ profit?

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

so 1b is 1 butt or approximately 481l.

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 27 points 1 week ago

"The butt is an obsolete English measure of liquid volume equalling two hogsheads"

that puts things in context

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

The butt is an obsolete English measure

Not for long

A bucket of bytes. 🙃

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

Yeah? Perfectly normal unit.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Idk it just doesn't seem to fit in nicely with char, int, float, and double.

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 week ago

I hate having a pint overflow error. It goes everywhere, and then you have no pint.

[-] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago

Well you need something for your floats to float in, don't you? And thats measured in litres of course

[-] Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago

Those are types, not units

Numbat has them

I'd love to write the actual explanation here, but it's a long one.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

I was asked to get the AI to create documentation for an application. I may just do that for the ha-Ha's.

In American units, 1 foot.

Or perhaps I misremembered, maybe it was just 1 toe?

[-] SunshineJogger@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

If I had at least a centimeter of time I could explain. Alas, I have only three kilos.

[-] Hisse@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

You should have pressed a thumbs up to confuse it

[-] vogi@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

thought the same thing afterwards :( too late now.
