"Or projects that make it easier to use AI" I get the sentiment, but this is natural with a groundbraking new technology. We are still in the process of figuring out how to best apply generative LLM's in a productive way. Lot

"and better for the soul" Well, if it works again .. https://xkcd.com/1994/ If you have a habit like me of only partly fixing things, because a unforseen problem came up and deciding to get back later on it,

I missed that, but then it is still not correct to say 44% support the invasion. In a very different framework (clear plan, cooperation with iranian opposition, working exile government, transition plan ..) I also can see myself supporting

The source seems bad, for some reasons they added the 10% of "unsure" to "supports". "the new survey found 56% of Americans oppose U.S. military action in Iran, while 44% support it." But later: "A majorit

To me it started with the war in Iraq. Made up story as excuse, expensive disaster as a result. (Afghanistan was already not great, the Taliban were open to extradict Bin Laden, they just demanded proof first, but it was still sort of a in

"The big negative that LLMs have in comparison with junior engineers is that they can't learn and internalise new information based on feedback." No, but they can take "notes" and can load those notes into context.

I believe it is good to learn to be on your own for a while, it helps you figure out what you really want for yourself, but most humans are social being so don't try to accept it as the new normal as this is clearly not what you want.

ChatGPT had a time for me, where it refused to do anything bigger than a few lines of code, because "too complex". But step by step it did it then anyway. (No idea about the current state, since I switched to claude)

Option 3: the global wars increase and continue to be the new normal with shipping routes disturbed until the climax, china annexes Taiwan. In that case prices will continue to rise (among other things).

What exact model are you using? I have a 16GB GPU as well, but have never run a local model so far. According to the table in the article, 9B and 8-bit -> 13 GB and 27B and 3-bit seem to fit inside the memory. Or is there more space requ

Couple of reasons, but mainly speed and avaiability. I can give Claude a job anytime and it will do it immediately. And yes, I will have to double check anything important, but I am way better and faster at checking, than doing it myself. S

I would think so, but I really don't know any details.

Thank you, interesting insights. Do you speak japanese well? I assume without you only get by in certain bubbles in big cities?

Not completely. I know some french musicians who are great artists, but are not mainstream enough to sell enough records - and they do get state money to continue their art (progressive/psychedelic music, nothing tame).

Maybe, but I would say a much healthier one than watching tik toks or doomscrolling something else.

Same for me (even though I am a bit younger). I burned out a couple of times and assumed I will never finish so many sideprojects I have lying around. Now I can just feed them into claude and guide it to completion. It feels great. And yes,

The world has become so strange. In my pirate youth, I would have never imagined the big companies to argue in courts like this, basically pro piracy. And the activists are now against it, because the big guys are doing it.

"Even if that were true, it is not true that when you ask those people to do otherwise they simply pretend to have done it and forget you asked later." I admire your experience with people.

Yes and if you have ethics then you can say no. Also I never saw a Kindergarten website that even remotely did this.

I think he sorted them by height. If you look closer you can see also shelfs with different sized books that were too non standard.

Oh there are still ads as some are baked into the content, but I can live with those. How people can live with the normal amount of ads - no idea.

I suppose if someone thought this, they would not have dared saying it? Many do make horrible UI, but would react poorly to criticism, hard to know before ..

Oh if you are looking for dirt, you can find dirt allmost anywhere, but im gemeral I do see a difference in making a website for a kindergarten, vs applying the most efficient tech to track and target children with manipulative ads.

Do you claim there are only unethical income choices? Or do you claim your expected standard of income comes only with unethical offers?

The most succesful open source projects (firefox, blender, linux, krita,..) do not have libre in their name, the most famous of those who have is probably libreoffice, but it is not exactly loved. So I totally agree on rather having a name

"DARPA sponsored half of the nice things we're using every day" That's a very bold claim. (And I am aware of the history of the Internet)

As a collective, yes. If you look at individuals, they often go in circles and act really dumb. But for the colony it still works out, bigger brains would cost too much energy I suppose and simple algorithms work. (I often watched real ants
