I am not of the younger generation, but it must be really hard to give a shit right now. No voices are being heard, and they are economically crushed, preoccupied with paying their rent-seeking corporate providers ever increasing prices and

Yes it's a surprising marketing angle. What are they expecting people to run on these machines? Do they expect your average joe to pop into the terminal and boot up ollama? Anyone technical enough to jump into local AI usage can probab

Only adding to this because it's likely a hardware failure, and I had a challenging time debugging a similar issue in an aftermarket engine ECU years ago. Thought it might make a fun anecdote. The car would run fine once started, but t

I think a practical measure still useful right now, which does capture a lot of the "non-performance" capabilities of an employee, is as follows: "Why has my job not been outsourced yet, since it is far cheaper?" Those a

Youtube has been spammed with these multi-account back and fourth discussion advertisements for a while. They're frequently for small local attorneys or financial advisors, and I have to wonder if those individuals realise how they&#x2

I don't disagree with you, except that a career can stagnate. Maybe you are already working in your ideal role, solving cool problems every day. Maybe moving up the ladder nets you more money but less of what you actually want in life.

I worked on some software that provided results to some calculations to general web users, not experts. The calcs were done in miliseconds. We had to introduce an artificial delay of ~30 seconds to make it seem like it was taking a while to

SO was somewhere people put their hard won experience into words, that an LLM could train on. That won't be happening anymore, neither on SO or elsewhere. So all this hard won experience, from actually doing real work, will be inaccess

It's not like Windows hasn't had a slew of bullshit like this over the years. Especially around audio and peripherals. It still changes my default headphones every time I log in, doesn't recognise my standard audio interface,

Not that I am for it, but why not? If no other cars enter the market, or they're forced to be uncompetitive, then what choice would consumers have?

Although I agree that software is an important aspect, a car mostly exists in the real and physical experience of the vehicle to me. The software situation is going to be the least of your average persons concerns I would have thought. Inte

Even in PC gaming, the performance target tends to be the lowest performing current gen console, not the best PC. Which is a totally reasonable approach and has given my PC years of usefulness even though better equipment is out there. The

Does an LLM scoring well on the Mensa test translate to it doing excellent and factual police reporting? It is probably not true of humans doing well on the Mensa, why would it be true of an LLM? We should probably rigorously verify that, f
