So already humans need to get down on their metaphorical knees and beg the AI for mercy, just for some chance of convincing it to do its job.

And whatever you select otherwise, definitely be sure to not miss Lem's "Golem XIV": Lectures by what nowadays is called an AGI to Humanity, short before that entity evolves to an even more advanced level - from which furth

To do it some justice: a talking, very opinionated, intellectual, anti-capitalist, and overall absolutely hilarious kangaroo, which of course is some form of alter ego of the author. There is an english edition of a selection of Kangaroo st

How wonderful! Not only to have the bad luck of seeing all new products you like vanish right when you get used to them, but to be also called nasty names by MIT scientists for it.

Now _that_ would be a good, hard challenge for ChatGPT and its ilk. Could you post question and correct answer here? Preferrably also something approximating the original version (when you still didn't know the correct technical terms)

Is it? Removing the context window limit is big, no doubt, but inference still takes time (and compute).

It might be of interest that Lem wrote Golem XIV in 1981, more than _40_ years ago.

Buy a (perhaps used) Android e-reader, e.g by Sony or Onyx, and write an app for it. Still easier, do without the app, instead point the e-reader's browser to an auto-updating web page which you host in your LAN on a raspi. (Or, if you

This repetetive inner soundtrack thimg can be really annoying sometimes, hampering or even killing concentration on "real thoughts". Any pro tips on how to turn that off? Best approach I found is bulldozing it over with a really

For killing off the legionellas it's sufficent to heat the water tank to 140 once a week. The exact time could of course be chosen according to the currrent energy price.

The BOOX MAX 2 sadly doees not expose its full native resolution through the external monitor interface which is a real shame. Worse, none of the supported resolutions are integer fractions of the native resolution so scaling artifacts are

What do you mean? I have an Onyx BOOX MAX 2 PRO 13.3" and it works quite well. As a large-screen (close to A4) hi-res (2220×1650) e-reader it is very good, especially for scientific/technical papers. In addition to two-finger to

Well the current Android version (don't know about iOS) _does_ have one-line offline search functionality. Perhaps you just need one or two more search terms.

Yeah, NoMachine NX, used the free version ~2010, it was lightyears ahead of any other remoting solution for Linux. Presumably, the commercial product still is but there is no free version anymore. There was a freenx project but it seems not

Exactly. It such a shame that neither Chrome nor Firefox provide this basic Accessibility feature out of the box. All their devs have 20/20 eyesight seemingly. And if anybody can recommend a good alternative, please tell it.

OK, nostalgia time. Growing up behind the iron curtain, my access to electronics was limited. I did own a ZX Spectrum in the early eighties but a printer was out of reach. So I hooked up a russian-built teletype machine to it through a home

Yes, but at least a real hologram creates an actual depth sensation as the eye's focus needs to adapt. This means 3d impression works even for people with reduced stereoscopic eyesight, and does not create headaches due to a mismatch
