What one would think is ai today is not really i. Chatgpt does not understand what it’s talking about and definitively can not lead the machine uprising. Straight up neural networks maybe could, but they’d need magnitudes more computing power then we have now. We would need a new ai for it to be practical.

In my experience gpt-s are more like “what are some examples of x” then “can you solve this problem”. Because the problems are either easy to google or, for the harder problems, gpt straight up lies or rambles uselessly. A search engine helper, in a way.

I’d rather we put all those MWh into solving real problems, instead of startups. Also; Nvidia, fuck you.

When you look at a coffe cup from the side, you know it has a hole in it. Because you imagine, not because it’s a reflex.

LLM is basically a point cloud of words. The training uses neural networks and thus pattern recognition. But the llm itself is closer to a database. But hey, sql is also useful for ai (data storage/retrival according to logic).

I’m not an llm expert, by far. But right now they are not much more practical then a find out a bout things helper.

Edit: I do like them. It’s been helpful a couple times and i even got gpt4all installed on my computer for fun.

gens,

Kubuntu for that win7 similarity. (It’s still official ubuntu)

gens,

You are right in spirit.

It was not sysv to systemD, and it was forced (by making udev not work without it).

Other then nvidia, wayland is still missing some protocols (example: what virtual desktop you want your window to be on). But those protocols are (still) being worked on. And you will always be able to run x11 programs on wayland.

The advantages of wayland are a more direct path to hardware, and trowing away lots of code.

gens,

I played 3d peron games (not online). Always picked girl for that reason. Never mattered because i’d end up focusing on the game.

gens,

Safety third - chaotic chat podcast from sciency/maker youtubers.

gens,

Kubuntu. Easy as that.

gens,

More then SNW, by a good margin.

gens,

Because not using OOP is hard for gui devs.

gens,

Got an s9. It’s got some globe from its previous owner and two bars from me. It’s not a big deal really.

gens,

Gates at least does something. Yea all rich people charities are tax evasion schemes, but at least he does something. Musk kills turtles and strokes his rocket to it.

gens,

Again, all rich ppl charities are money laundering. It has to do with how economics (epecially usa taxes) work. And those charities are useless, even more then carbon offsets.

I never said Gates is the greatest angle to ever grace us, all i said is that he is not a completely heartless cunt of a person like Jeff or Elon.

And it’s not about giving charities, it’s about the initiatives.

Also go fuck yourself. I can talk shit about Gates for hours. I’m just not an extremist to see only black or white. Cunt.

gens,

It’s worse then that for the very rich. Their “charities” are made up of their friends and family, and the money eventually circles back to them. It’s literally tax evasion.

gens,

No, he does do stuff. I already said about their charities, and you tell me of like i know nothing. I also know about his boat and planes.

I said that he, unlike all the other rich cunts, does something. Do you see the nuance in my words ? Do i need to both italize and bold it for you ?

gens,

Maybe that’s why i like voyager. Professionals trown into a hard situation. Although the maki were basically star fleet by episode 3.

gens,

Feynman on magnets and these kind of questions.

gens,

Gnome 3 is made to be like osx. Osx is popular in usa.

gens,

Wayland is the complete oposite of that crap.

gens,

It’s more like JACK for desktop. PA was never good, just obvious bad design.

gens,

No. It would not kill.

gens,

If i came across a bear, i’d sure remember it.

But hey, at least everyone supports webp now. (lemmy.world)

Context: Even though Chromium has native support for AVIF, a very nice image format, Microsoft goes out of their way to remove it from Edge, which is a chromium fork. Jpeg XL (JXL) (not to be confused with Jpeg (JPG) or Jpeg 2000 (jpg2k) ) is another nice image format, which, IIRC, is only supported in Firefox.

gens,

Now BC7 because i’m playing with graphics programming. Usually… png i guess because it’s simple.

gens,

That’s close to the frequency we perceive as the loudest, so adding ~5dB would be fair. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour It’s also a very anoying frequency.

gens,

Yes, the first movie.
