The end result is, and will always be garbage if there is no "human in the loop" to test whether the result meets the requirements, and telling LLM what to do if it doesn't. Like somebody else said, there is still a need for

Yeah this is what lots of Western people don't get. The cultural / ideological gap between rulers and those being ruled appears much larger in Iran than in most other Muslim countries. Many countries have hardcore conservative rul

Iranian government massacres its own civilians whenever they dare to demand change. Iranians are also largely secular compared to citizens of most Arab states, and hate their government. They're also mostly Shia, which makes it hard fo

From my point of view as a Finn, the convention is indeed pointless as long as Russia doesn't obey it. No point avoiding land mines in our Eastern border in case of a war, when Russia will mine any territory they capture anyway. Beside

It would be a fun day for hobbyists who want to run big open source models locally, if nothing else.

I would bet 100% of those people have either Apple or Android phone in their pocket. Android users already have easy access to Gemini, and Apple's Siri is going LLM soon enough as well. Google and Apple just need to push their AI assis

Yeah you'll probably want to turn on airplane mode between the refreshes. That's at least what KUAL "Online screensaver extension" from Mobiread forums does, with it I'm getting several weeks of battery life with re

Old kindles are a lot of fun. I've turned a couple of them into AI generated paintings that refresh their contents every few hours or so. I can control the prompts via web-ui, through template functions they can include things like wea

Ironically for me Linux has become the obvious default for casual use - web browsing, entertainment, paying my bills etc. I only boot Windows when I need to do some weird nerdy stuff, like checking updating SSD firmware with some proprietar

Right now I'm not sure there is a country where young people are generally satisfied and optimistic about their future. America is a mess, Europe is generally a mess, China is struggling with too many grads who aren't able to find

Knowing current administration anti-science approach to things like climate and health, I wouldn't be all at surprised if many of those who left academia were ones producing quality work that just didn't align with Trump admin&#x2

My understanding is that also volcano eruptions have temporarily cooled down global climate. So, such an abrupt, high-volume dispersal seems to work too, although probably not what we would want. If both sudden volcano eruptions and maritim

The good news is that this pretty much proves we can somewhat slow down climate change by spraying certain chemicals into the air. Obviously it would be better to limit co2 emissions radically, but that's not going to happen thanks to

It's about time for EU to put 50% tax on American digital services, and get rid of all Microsoft products in public sector.

After Trump's re-election, I figured that there's not much difference between using a cheap Android from Chinese OEM, or an iPhone. Both will give away my information if the totalitarian government (Chinese or American) requests s

I love my expensive Macbook at work, but at home old my old Thinkpad running Linux is a godsend. The performance is perfectly adequate for all my daily non-work needs, battery lasts several hours, and since the thing has little monetary val

Almost any working PC has some value. I've sold nearly 20 year old Intel Core2Duo systems, old 1TB hard drives and lots of other old components for about 10 - 20 dollars each. My primary gaming PC is from 2011.

TV of the past is not okay, especially not in excessive amounts. But I too have noticed that shows from that era tend to be less fast-paced than those of today, so it's probably less harmful.

I've used Jetbrains IDE's for most of my career, and after that trying Xcode felt like going back to Medieval times.

Yep, if Russia wants to expand its conflict against Europe, Narva in Estonia is most likely place for it. Over 90% of its population is ethnic Russian, and it's located right next to the Russian border. It's the perfect place to s

I'm not sure what Russia had to gain from violating our (Finland) airspace with military aircraft countless of times before we joined NATO. Yet they kept doing it. Russia is an imperialistic state that really doesn't like having n

I didn't remember that case, very interesting. But yes, silently torpedoing a Russian ship transporting military technology to another hostile rogue state is exactly what NATO should be doing.

by rwyinuse 10mo ago
Sinking the ships and then denying knowing anything about it would probably be the best course of action. That's what Russians would do, if the roles were reversed. Unfortunately too many Western leaders still think that it's poss

I'm now glad I bought 128GB of DDR4 when building a new dual purpose server-gaming PC two years ago. The RAM is now worth way more than the rest of the parts combined. I wonder how this will impact phone prices.

Yep, either way things are going to suck for ordinary people. My country has had bad economy and high unemployment for years, even though rest of the world is doing mostly OK. I'm scared to think what will happen once AI bubble either

Same here. For me the worst are tasks that are uninteresting, yet require some amount of effort and thinking - things like organizing my wardrobe, or boring bureaucratic tasks at work.

I would say buying used Fujitsu from a third party seller is still better than letting it become e-waste. It's not like Fujitsu is getting any of that money.
