You are being very weird

Sadly, and happily, I'm currently sober. So, unfortunately, looks like a meager pension might be on the cards for me at the moment! ✌️

Fuck yeah, that's what I like to hear. Where you getting £2 an ale????

I wasn't counting the cigarettes! Or the charlie, or the speed, or the ket, or the weed 😂

I'm totally in favour of solving multiple problems at once.

Personally, I do not view this as a problem. My issue is with the EU Parliament wasting time with this in place of anything that I perceive as an actual problem.

If you think that calling veggie burgers "burgers" is a problem worth their time and effort, more power to you 👍

Haha yeah awesome real problems getting solved by serious politicians here, guys! If you can actually get your hands on any real meat without paying an arm and a leg for it what the actual fuck are we doing here lads what the fuck are these fucking politicians doing???

The world is on fire, the economy is in the shitter globally, there are multiple ongoing genocides, facism is on the rise again, and we're wiggling our dicks around talking about whether you can call veggie burgers "burgers"? Are you serious? WHO CARES???

Is this bring your kid to work day and they let the kids do a vote for a change instead as a treat? Is this a joke?? What motherfucker is getting into politics to make sure "hey those damn vegans better not call anything a burger".

These poncy little briefcase-botherers need a hobby or something because this is absolutely the biggest case of dicking around on the job I've ever heard of. Ridiculous. Stupid. A joke. Pathetic. Childish. Vapid. Can we get some adults in the EU Parliament please?

I definitely couldn't. It was like £70 minimum to have a good night! And that's only sticking to pints, and not counting cigs or the inevitable kebab or chicken for supper! That three or four times a week is basically a grand a month. Ridiculous money.

Who can afford to drink out these days?

I think 'master' is fine for the master branch. It's a master copy of the codebase.

I think 'main' is fine for the main branch. It's the main branch of the repo.

I use 'main' at work cos that's what my git client defaults to. I use 'master' at home because that's what my git client defaults to. 🤷‍♂️

Being slightly wrong in a translation is bad, for sure, but doesn't (often) invent new facts. I still would not trust it for a legal document, personally.

I did actually originally ask what your point was in the comment I wrote, but I couldn't phrase it in a way that didn't feel hostile - which I hope I'm not coming across as. I just couldn't quite grasp the point you were trying to make, and I think it's because we disagree on a fundamental level here.

Yes if they're signing a contract, absolutely get a lawyer if you don't understand what you're signing, but occasionally you just need to look up a law or accept a eula, and it would be nice to be able to have some help reading it, even if it's from an imperfect tool.

I agree with the first part about signing a contract, but totally disagree with the second. If I need to look up a law, or anything at all, I would never run it through a machine that regularly invents "facts" from whole cloth, or misinterprets, while agreeing and confidently backing any implications I give it. LLMs are inherently untrustworthy, in my opinion, partly because they're programmed to be "yes-men" who engage the user constantly in order to sell them a service, and partly because they don't "know" anything - they just essentially scrape the web and then uncritically mash whatever they find together and return it in convincing natural language.

I think they are dangerous to engage with at any level.

The reason you ask a lawyer and not an LLM if you can't understand the original document is because LLMs regularly misinterpret and hallucinate, and you might have no way to verify that what it says is true.

The LLM doesn't know things. It isn't "the key" or "the answer". I don't think this user is talking about translating a legal document from another actual language or anything.

Hey how'd you get your hands on my code
