Futility is resistant

  • And extremely abusive, since they don’t review the code fully, but a human must review the whole commit before accepting it. They save their time but consume that of others.

  • My goal is finding a challenging hobby to keep myself intellectually active. Being old and lonely might be unavoidable, but being bored isn’t.

  • To be fair, LLMs do really good translations, but as with everything you use them for, you need to be familiar with the subject so you catch their mistakes.

    I’m thinking beginner level so the LLM can support instead of replacing you while you get better.

  • The Spanish names barely count because those were originally Mexican and had been named before USA was born.

  • My bum, shoulders, and legs hurt in a perfectly real sense after having driven about 14 hours between yesterday and today. Dreams only hurt if you focus on it, and it’s never that detailed or deep.

    Take philosophy thought exercises out of imagination and into practical situations, and many cease to look profound.

  • To anyone who interacts with it? Would you deny that a program automate mental labor in the same way that a sawmill automates manual labor? Isn’t that some degree of intelligence?

    Now, we have very imperfect LLMs who nevertheless can be instructed not with program code, but actual natural language, and they react accordingly. Isn’t that also intelligence? Computers that understood natural language was the realm of science fiction just five years ago.

    I get it that people hate LLMs, both because how idiots use them, and how corporations push them everywhere; but not recognizing the intelligence in those programs is naive at best.

  • It is evident that it has intelligence, it outputs intelligent responses usually adequate to its input, even if it’s badly phrased. What it doesn’t have is sentience, conscience, and a learning loop.

  • Crazy how USA seems unable to keep up, and it appears its best chance of maintaining hegemony is bringing China down, not improving itself. Never expected to see this shift in my lifetime.

  • They do, and I experimented with both, but wasn’t able to get better performance from Jellyfin compared to Plex. Always running on the same hardware. Still run both though, just in case.

  • Especially on non-GPU systems, Jellyfin is slower at transcoding than Plex. I don’t know the internals, but I have both running in the sam machine, and Plex is always noticeably more responsive. Not by a huge margin, but still it is.

  • XBMBC (later Kodi) gang present!

  • I don’t know, 60%? 80%? 91.645%? What a random question, what is your point?

  • Taxes in USA are progressive, meaning the higher your income, the higher your taxes. The 1%, controlling 30% of USA’s wealth, should pay much more than 40%, the 99% shouldn’t pay 60% of taxes because their income is much lower on average.

  • You mean you ran Ubuntu Server and found it slow?! That’s amazing, specially back then. Truly a potato.

  • On a potato you were supposed to use Xubuntu or Lubuntu, not Gnome.

  • We call them “tlacuaches” in Mexico, from the Nahuatl tlacuatzin. According to their mithology, it stole the god’s fire, and brought it to the humans in its tail, that’s why it stayed furless.

    Do you want to French kiss it now?

  • More like best-iality, amirite?

  • Its company property, you don’t go putting stickers on company printers or the walls of your office.

    And it’s not about resale value, it’s about corporate and professional image. We’re free to destructively mod our personal equipments, but not those of others.

  • I believe the 3D chatbot will have more emotions.
