The cost of simply retrieving an answer from the Web is infinitely smaller than the cost of generating a new one.

Great interview with Sasha Luccioni from Huggingface on all the ways that using generative AI for everything is both a) hugely costly compared to existing methods, and b) insane.

    it’s not “hating your post history”, it’s just realisation that you’re a shitty debatelord and talking to you is waste of time.

      And yet you’re talking to me… To prove some point perhaps? Feel free to ignore or block me if you don’t like my posts.

          i wanted to know how did you know, then i looked up his comment history on kbin and i wish i didn’t (he extruded three more comments before he clocked that he’s banned)

            a hunch, really: i’ve met the type and had my suspicions, and then i’ve found that he posted the link about polish antitrust & consumer protection watchdog fining paypal, which is generally niche outside poland.

              btw i strongly suspect that there’s a way to tell native language of poster by style of writing and specific kinds of grammar mistakes

                it is an often-viable heuristic, yeah

          misiu kolorowy

          huh, first time I run across this (although admittedly my polish is dangerously-seat-of-pants)

            long, boring explanation follows

            spoiler

            there’s an informal mode of address that conveys the (one-sided, frequently) sense of familiarity, which goes [2nd person singular] [noun in vocative case] [adjective referring to the noun], like panie szanowny (lit. esteemed sir, but the inversion from the adj + noun to noun + adj signals different mode; so “szanowny panie” is formal, “panie szanowny” is shortening distance or expressing annoyance); it can be used, and frequently is, as a phrase that’s a personal affectation (e.g. “królu złoty!”, literally “golden majesty”). the affectation is usually rather annoying.

            on the other hand “misiu” (vocative case of diminutive word for “bear” or “bear cub” or “teddy bear”) is a common word of endearment.

            so “misiu kolorowy” is a bit of a wordplay on both, and should generally convey serious lack of respect and clear annoyance. (i’m guilty of using this from time to time since the times of polish usenet.)

            there’s an added bonus in that there was a popular child series “miś colargol”, the pronunciation of “colargol” and “kolorowy” are pleasantly alliterative. (now this really shows my age….)

              that’s a much deeper (and thoroughly detailed) explanation than I expected, much thanks :)

                It’s when you want to say “kurwo jebana” but in a more polite, sophisticated way.

                Think “bless your heart”.

                  yeah I got that from the explanation flere gave :)

                  Think “bless your heart”.
