Yeah my response was directly for your statement that there are no real and tangible benefits of llms. I think how useful llms may or may not be is immaterial when it comes to the repos and they will be used in coding. Wikipedia went a good direction and worked out a deal for them to contribute back and linus was sensible in his response to usage for coding.

I try to do twice a week but I literally spend hours. I don’t try and keep the temp at anything in particular but I don’t know what it is about my bathroom but I don’t feel the temperature falls all that much. I do start out about as hot as I ca stand. Like I tip my to go oh. ah ha ah. and slowly get one foot in. then the other. then slowing lower down into it.

I think you are looking at llms in to large a context. Your issues you have with it are the same as search and if used as a further abstraction of search it is going to carry forward weaknesses. LLM’s trained more narrowly for specific purposes are going to do better if their narrow training data is of high quality rather than throwing everything at it.

There are certainly benefits to llms. Just the more casual interaction is one. This to me very much mirrors graphics as compared to terminal. many many things done on computers do not require graphics and can be done at the terminal but usage by ordinary folks increased with the advent of graphics systems and guis. graphics require more power but are a more user friendly interface. Similarly llms take more power than search queries but have a more user friendly interface. In addition it has generative capability allowing folks without significant talent to do some things they could not before. There are benefits but right now its a matter of if the benefits outweigh the costs. Seriously if this was graphics vs terminal the graphics basically double power usage when doing nothing in particular that need it. You start throwing a bunch of monitors up and it will bring it up significantly and actually using graphics like gaming and video go way more and it keeps increasing as we increase standar resolutions and what is considered normal performance. We would use way less power globally if folks only used computers at terminals and went back to listening to the radio.

I used to when there were not so many options but in modern times I have a hard time rewatching anything even once. It actually shows how big the lord of the rings trilogy and firefly are for me as they are the only things from this millenia that I have rewatched at least two times and actually I sorta intentionally did not watch firefly as long as I could resist because I wanted maximum enjoyment.

mmmmm. mmmmm. kick in the groin or a handshake. mmmmm. mmmmm. they are just so similar. I think I prefer the one. slightly. so hard to decide.

hasn’t all the technology already got cheaper???

no no. not a mistake. I was just musing after having watched doc martin.

I think we more need to get people to realize that opinions from the internet (and networks) are just in general not legitamate enough and they need to talk with actual people who are around them and not take on ideas they see but actually take in the world and think about what they actually want the world to be.

Sikh’s have a mandate to use certain last names but im not sure how much its followed.

Being so angry you feel like you can kill someone I think is common but I don’t think folks will ever admit they ever felt that way. Especially when younger and full of hormones. Then you have that the closer you are to someone the angrier they can make you. Pushing buttons and all. You cope by realizing murder is wrong. That your brain is wierd and you don’t act on high emotion. You get yourself away from the emotional situation and calm yourself however you best find to do that. You try to discuss when you and the other person are less emotional and see if you can come to a common understanding. Granted if you a kid its not an equal footing but if don’t think you can get to where you are treated fairly then just put your energy into gaining independence as soon as you can.

when will they realize the real crypto is in virtualized ai?!

lol. sorry. I meant the doctor. who.

I sorta want the uk actor who played doctor ellingham to be the next doctor. while its great that tom baker brought this sorta high energy crazy vibe to the roll I think it would be cool for such an odd and stuffy doctor incarnation to be in the role for awhile.

when they broke into all the residences of a massive building in chicago a bunch of stuff was stolen. they trashed stuff and threw some outside and some just disapeared.

They call them less lethal when they are shooting them at you but if you throw it back they charge you with assault with a deadly weapon in the us. I think I liked it better when they at least tried to hide the hypocrisy.

Ours have a lot of doors for a prison but nowadays they do have them locked from the outside and is kinda creepy relative to when I was a kid. All the students wear their id around their necks.

I sometimes wonder if being forgetten fast is preferable. A time space version of take only pictures and leave only footprints. Come, experience, go.

sort funny given its the very easiest thing to drop.

final season of firefly. I would make it season 9.
