I know that there is a large difference between CAD and general 3D modeling, but I've designed all my custom 3D printed parts in Blender and have had zero issues with fitment or scaling.

The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.

Then it still doesn't matter. If an identified source gives information that isn't verifiable, it's still not actionable.

Usually they just over-pay for their computer because you can't really buy a system without Windows pre-installed (unless you build it).

I have so many computers that came with Windows installations that I never even booted into.

Who uh... cares? The information is publicly available, that's how it was scraped... Who would /buy/ this?

And what would they do with the knowledge that Fartknocker72 posted sonic slash fanfics?

Absolutely nothing, because they all give fucking useless results. Hallucinates, is confidently wrong, and isn't even grammatically competent (depending on the model). Not even good for a draft, because I'd have to completely rewrite it anyway.

LLMs are only as good as the guys training it (who are mostly morons), and the raw data they train on (which is mostly unaudited random shit).

And that's just regular language. Coding? Hah!

Me: Generate some code to [do a thing].
LLM: [Gives me code]
Me: [Some part] didnt work.
LLM: Try [this] instead.
Me: That didn't work either.
LLM: Try [the first thing] again.
Me: ... that still doesn't work...
LLM: Oh, sorry. Try [the second thing again].
Me: ...

Loop continues forever.

One time I found out about a built-in function that I didn't know about (in LLM generated code that didn't work), and read the manual for it, and rewrote the code from scratch to get it working. Literally the only useful thing it ever gave me was a single word (that it probably found on Superuser or StackExchange in the first place).

Squirrels.

Grew up in Chicago, currently in Phoenix. I miss squirrels.

All the lizards are pretty cool though. They're like desert squirrels.

I mean, who hasn't made that mistake?

At this point - unless there's a very good reason - I just don't interact with YouTube's site or app anymore.

I hope YouTube pulls a Reddit, and federated video services get the same bump. Creators can plug NordVPN, Brilliant, and Wix just as well on PeerTube, and we won't have to watch dumbass political ads anymore.

I initially thought this post was about a reddit sub going missing, and I was very confused about why anyone would pay to be part of it, or why there would be a search.
