My daughters tho, haha jk… Unless?

Literally, i put on like a podcast or 10min science video or something to listen to while i shower. Gotta be dopamine maxing

I remember way back when with the Folding at Home project. That’s a type of machine learning distributed. People happily contributed their computer time. Hell, there were contests around how much compute time a particular group could give.

Yeah, when I say I don’t do politics, it’s not because I don’t care about the problems or they don’t affect me, it’s because I’m tired of talking about it, I have enough other shit in my life that’s stressing me out and it’s not going to do anything anyway.

I’m one of the daily shower people, and I wash my sheets weekly. I shower before bed. The routine helps me get tired and ready for sleep. And it helps keep my bed nice and soft and clean until the next wash.

Don’t understand people that think that means you go through your day smelly. If you’re heavily sweating in your sleep, perhaps you should consider less blankets? Doesn’t sound very comfortable. I wake up dry and still smelling fresh from the shower.

Does the button magically know what my ideal body would be? Like what if I don’t know what I would want from an ideal body? Or what if what I think would be an ideal body turns out to be incorrect once I have it? Does the button know these things or is it relying on me knowing?

While it is true that they are at their lowest levels in a long time, the reality is that between domestic production that we have available and the reserves, even if our usage continued to grow, we still have a few years worth before we would actually genuinely run out.

It’s unfortunate because it does make people very mad about when it’s used even legitimately. I am not a programmer, I am a system administrator, and I run a local model. And don’t worry, I have full off-grid solar too, so I’m not increasing energy demand. That aside, it is incredibly useful for helping me save time and brain space on documentation.

especially these days where documentation is scattered, fragmented, might not even be available other than on like Discord or something stupid, being able to have my local model, which has the ability to search the web, be able to just pull up documentation where I already pretty much know the process at a high view just need the finer details brought to the front of my brain. so I will know if it’s making shit up or bullshitting me easily, this is incredibly useful and saves so much time.

especially when you’re dealing with like setting up a bunch of different security through things like apparmor, namespaces, LXC, seccomp etc. It’s just so much to keeping your brain at once. Its easy to have enough in there to know whether the answer it’s giving you is correct or wrong and its great at then taking your step-by-step process and formatting it nicely for something like a wiki.js instance which makes documentation take no time at all so I actually do it so that in the future when I need this again I can just go to my documentation that is now actually completed.

But people using it for code generation or art generation have made the whole thing so controversial that it’s difficult to use it for its actual best case, which is basically just a really good documentation search engine.

Have you ever taken a picture of a screen before? It’s usually pretty washed out or has issues with focus, etc. Somehow these pictures are both perfectly sharp and have no brightness or contrast issues. In particular to get the screen brightness correct it almost always means getting exposure wrong for everything else but everything around the laptop looks fine still

That’s why I clarified that I’m not doubting that he did that.

So, to be clear, I am not doubting that he did this, but these pictures are very suspicious. The interface is too clean and perfectly contrasted across the entire screen which is extremely rare for cameras to be able to do, especially at a distance and an off angle. Some of the text has a weird perspective. This honestly looks like it might be fake.

It’s the alternator that handles running load, not your battery, and the difference is negligible. The alternator is not like a battery where it can super accurately adapt its load. Most alternators are just on or off. Some of them have a couple states that they can clutch through, but even then, you’re not making a huge difference on the strain of the electrical system.

Without a sharp cutoff, it’s not the intensity only that’s the problem. The color temperature also makes a very big difference. Bright white or blue light is much more damaging to people’s nighttime vision. So even if it’s a lower intensity, it’s still causing more harm. If it’s not properly aimed and cut off from being right in their face.

As far as I’m concerned, LEDs should be illegal. Except for specifically in projector housings with projection lenses that have been properly aimed. Those are the lenses and housings that give your light a razor-sharp cutoff point, and when aimed properly, it means that you will not blind people.

I did this for my car. I live very rural. There’s no such thing as city light pollution, much less streetlights. So when it’s dark, it’s dark dark. And there are deer, elk, and all other manner of animal based hazards. I went through the trouble of making sure to aim my lights in such a way that on the standard lights my cutoff is just below the side mirrors and rear window lines of the average family sedan, not an SUV or anything like that.

When I turn on my high beams they are oh hey look it’s high noon in front of me for like a mile. But the standard lights were specifically configured to not do that. Unlike all the other people in my area that simply put massively bright LEDs in their completely normal light housings that do not have the ability to make a sharp cut-off so all they do is blind literally everyone like assholes regardless of high beams.

Freeze drying doesn’t tend to work all that great on fats which whole milk has a lot of. Not tonsay it can’t be done but its generally more effort than its worth for the result

How often/likely is that though. I’d imagine plenty do it without ever getting caught

Clearly, the existing solution just wasn’t good enough. /s

how do you define main character in a hero shooter? is it just the hero that I have the most playtime on the one that I was playing most recently or the most popular in the community

I mean even as it improves I’ll be against it for the same reason I’m against higher level languages. It creates so-called developers that have no idea what they are doing no idea how the code works and no idea what the actual mechanisms behind it are. We’ve done that with web developers treating them like they are actual developers when they have no idea what’s going on and it has led to a situation where just a simple goddamn weather widget needs more than one gigabyte of ram to function. Where as an actual genuine developer that truly understood code could make the exact same thing and use less than 25 MB AI assisted coding is only going to continue to exacerbate this issue with developer knowledge the exact same way upscaling in video games as exacerbated the problem with developers that don’t know how to optimize their game. We are already seeing games coming out that are dramatically worse at optimization and they just expect you to use upscaling as a Band-Aid to fix it and make it vaguely playable

What you have described is not coding. You did not create an application, you had it manage a media server. That’s systems administration and yes llms are generally pretty decent at that because the documentation is what they were trained on and it’s all very straightforward if this then that type things.

When we say AI coding we mean actually creating an application from scratch. It’s a very abstract concept with a crap ton of rules and llms are still very bad at it

The only way to use it for code is to spend exponentially more time than it would have taken you to just write the code. You basically have to just take the results and bounce them back and forth between different models and be like correct this code back and forth in an endless loop of different models until it finally gets something that’s actually pretty good.

But the amount of time you spend doing that and getting it to actually put out something useful you could have just done it yourself and then went and played some games with the extra time
