[01:20:41] <systemd> ^ 03Live ART trio - Für Elise | Ludwig Van Beethoven | Saxophone, Piano & Drums
[02:32:51] <kolie> janrinok, requested changes are live on dev.
[05:36:23] <chromas> I like how c0lo's disagreement with Runaway was actually an agreement
[05:52:48] <c0lo> I'm not interested in national, chromas, the nationals can do whatever they want w/ their debt.
[05:54:56] <chromas> Runaway> If you pay off [just] the interest then you still have the principle
[05:54:56] <chromas> c0lo> Nuh uh! If you pay off the interest AND principle then you don't
[05:55:49] <chromas> So you're actually in agreement :D
[05:58:06] <c0lo> I don't know of any loan in Australia that let you pay _only_ the interest.
[07:22:44] <janrinok> c0lo - I agree. What I see is that they usually add the interest to the amount owed, and then tell you what minimum payment will be acceptable to them. The latter might be a fixed amount.
[07:32:18] <c0lo> It's not quite fixed, as it varies with the interest rates (which _will_ vary over the lifetime of a mortgage), but it will always be adjusted so that - if the things would stay the same - the loan is satisfactory closed at the end of its term.
[07:33:55] <c0lo> Fixed interest loans exist, but are short term (and don't allow one to make additional repayments)
[07:34:09] <janrinok> It depends on the life of the debt I suppose. Some credit card debts are paid off in a matter of months, while a mortgage might be for 40 years or more.
[07:35:46] <c0lo> Fixed interest loans are usually used for car loans (3-5y).
[07:38:56] <c0lo> Yeah, if you take CC into account, they only require a minimum payment/mo. Even if you max it out. If one consider a "perpetual line of credit" as loan, then yes it is possible to stay in debt forever in AU.

[11:18:19] <c0lo> > Is it some shaky research?
[11:18:20] <c0lo> IDK. Been busy pushing my stem cells into neurons. Smoky business.
[11:32:46] <c0lo> This is why AI will fail https://www.youtube.com
[11:32:50] <systemd> ^ 03Guy ask ChatGPT to count to 1million
[11:54:55] <fab23> I am not clicking on the link, but I guess it goes like this: "0 million, 1 million" :)
[12:02:11] <c0lo> Nope, it tried to convince the guy it's useless until the guy exploded.
[12:38:46] <fab23> When will the AI bubble blow up?
[13:48:18] <c0lo> 1-2 iteration showing no significant improvements and failing to find useful usecase that can be monetized.
[13:48:19] <c0lo> IDK, 1 year from now? Earlier?
[15:07:54] <fab23> We will see, people should realize that the I in AI will never exist.
[15:08:57] <fab23> There are some use cases where what is called AI, we should properly say machine learning, is useful, but not as most of the people think AI will be.
[19:39:37] <Ingar> there are people dedicating entire powerplants to filling the internets with slop
[19:40:04] <Ingar> apparently there is economic value in this
[19:48:21] <chromas> it's like buttcoins except the computation is sometimes accidentally useful
[20:21:45] <c0lo> AGI in specialized domains (eg medicine), with curated training set and the LLM parameters tuned to "objectivity over user engagement" makes total sense and, IMHO, _it's achievable_

[22:41:04] <Runaway1956> I'm loving it. And, so are the poulltry.
