  • Yes, it's a series of novellas. They were also published in print as collections.

    Really enjoyed them.

  • Garbage in, garbage out.

    This is a basic concept. You train the LLM on the entire Internet and you're going to end up with some very disturbing behaviours that may or may not be outliers.

  • True, but in Nebuchadnezzar's case his kingdom was taken from him for those 7 years...

  • I'd like to ask Pastor Burns if he's read the book of Daniel, particularly chapters 3 and 4.

    God struck Nebuchadnezzar (who likewise had a golden statue built for his entire kingdom to worship) with madness for 7 years for his pride.

  • I don't know whether to be impressed or horrified.

  • RIP social media. What comes next is messy.

  • To be honest, sometimes photos of cats are a pleasant addition to quality of life.

    I agree about the celebrity bickering, though.

  • Microsoft has an ambitious plan to win users back, and go toe-to-toe with Valve's SteamOS for gaming — but I'm not getting my hopes up

    Jump

  • Yep, I had a look at Winboat. It's effectively a Windows VM anyway (using RDP), so for the sake of the couple of applications I need Windows for (which mostly interact with each other), VirtualBox with a VM is easier for me to manage.

  • I abandoned Windows for Linux rather than update to Windows 11. I will be interested to see what Microsoft does, but at this point I seriously doubt they're going to be able to give me a good enough reason to return to Windows as my primary OS. At this point I only need it for a few applications that don't have a Linux equivalent and don't run on Wine.

  • I can envision use cases like wanting to be able to search through all your documents or photos when you can't clearly remember what you wrote (assuming it's properly implemented and well-secured, e.g. path-constrained time-limited read-only access), or local chatbot for brainstorming, or if you want to play around with agentic "AI" (automating small things on the local system that aren't easily scripted) then having one that is private and properly sandboxed would be helpful.

  • If they get it right (opt in by default, respects privacy, appropriately sandboxed for security, clearly defined use case, etc.) then I can see how this could be useful.

    But it's a big if.

  • Yet another way in which this administration is clearly anti-science.

  • Trump's spiritual advisor says that saying no to him is like saying no to God

    Jump

  • Ah, another arrogant individual who presumes to know the mind of God.

    I loathe televangelists. They are nothing like the Christ they claim to serve.

  • Engineering shenanigans

  • IIRC, Jon Pertwee didn't like technobabble, so used "reverse the polarity" as his go-to phrase. Funnily enough, he only says "reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" twice! (The Sea Devils & The Five Doctors).

  • Hegseth removes flu vaccination requirement for US troops

  • Honestly, it's really hard to tell. I'm pretty sure some of them are just that stupid, but there's also some that have no problem undermining the US to enrich themselves. And of course there's some that are both.

  • Trek Wars

  • This particular story is best read in the following order: Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 1 (optional), Chapters 2-3, and finally Chapter 6. There's a fan-fiction sequel with Chapters 7-9, but our class won't be looking at those.
