LLMs are artificial intelligence illusion engines, they only "reason" as far as there's an already made answer in their dataset that they can retrieve and eventually tweak (when things go best). Take them where there's n

We need them for what? Specialized models seem to provide a value comparable to what we've been doing with machine learning for eons, just more inefficient to train and to run.

"the treadmill on the term “AI”" hasn't moved much or at all, and that's essentially my point. Only 3-5 tech giants want us to think it has. > Seems pretty intelligent to me. Convenient? Yes. Intelligent? I mean, you

The only brand new definition of AI is the one that came in full marketing speed shortly after ChatGPT, to have us believe that "AI has been solved and is a commodity, now" while all we got were more chatbots. In the academic fiel

I hate comments anthropomorphizing LLMs. You are just asking a token producing system to produce tokens in a way that optimises for plausibility. Whatever it writes has no relation to its inner workings or truths. It doesn't "beli

Stop calling LLMs AI. We have LLMs as a product, now, but not AI. AI does exist as a research field, and so do "flying cars" and "nuclear fusion" (with arguably those two being much closer to materiality than AI). And no

You are correct in that OpenCASCADE is less refined than parasolid, but I would argue that most people just don't need it. Practically, FreeCAD is fit for all purposes, except those for which you require knowledge of what a geometric k

I got to use SolidWorks, Catia, Inventor before having my hands on pre-1.0 versions of FreeCAD. I never really understood the argument that it's too complex. The UI may be what it is (and admittedly full of shortcomings), but I found F

Now we do computing like we play Sim City: sketching fuzzy plans and hoping those little creatures behave the way we thought they might. All the beauty and guarantees offered by a system obeying strict and predictable rules goes down the d

For me too, ejabberd is the admin-friendlier/lower-effort one. Being more "monolithic", your calls will work straight out of the box because it ships a turn server properly configured out of the box, manage certificates over

Re: Signal, it's even worse: they are openly opposed to federation and to letting alternative clients use their server. They demand control and obedience, which has always been suspicious-enough to defeat any goodwill effort on their s

Matrix has gotten to a complexity threshold that makes it near-impossible to have independent client/server implementations. Element is terrible, and many contenders are better in a way or another, but all lack some essential feature t

Same, years ago, I set up a Matrix server, because it was advertised as the-new-XMPP (and I had done XMPP as a user, a long time before, and thought it had been quirky enough to warrant a successor protocol). What I found with Matrix was th

So, the solution to too much AI is... Even more AI! You sound like you would fit just right at a LLM-shop marketing department.

From your comment I wanted to give Niagara a try, most useful features are apparently behind a pay wall, and that was completely fine... Until google asked me for my credit card details for the 7-days trial. This is probably none of Niagara

And XMPP. Which probably will remain a better Matrix than Matrix ever will be, the venture capital put aside, that is.

Yeah, and once the precedent is settled, you can bet that the private sector will follow, and give birth to a bunch of local service companies to deploy and support those solutions in an healthier and fairer manner than the current GSuite&#
