unprecedented insights in this research.

That is what we in the professional world would term the "poop" scenario.

Read/write cycles are absurd with RAM. One good way to break SSDs if I am getting this correctly.

And they told me I was crazy for putting 64 gigs into my machine back in early 2021. I "only" paid about 200 USD

generally intelligent one.

What does this word mean? Does this refer to something that does not exist? If so why are we using it as a practical benchmark or distinction to make statements about the world?

but they should actually get credit for how often they get it right too.

My text compression algorithm for tape gets the facts right to the exact character. Beat that.

It's a convenient way of looking at things. Saying that it's good at one thing and bad at others. What I have come to realize with LLMs is that anywhere where experts deal with them, they are very aware of their shortcomings with respect to someone's area of expertise. Sure, you might say they're good at producing text, yet a journalist or someone who simply writes a ton might be able to spot generated text in an instant. The same way a photographer or painter can spot these statistical methods instantly. Rinse and repeat for coding, translation, medicine and all other tasks specific to current societal roles. That is not to say that you need to be an expert to spot LLMs or other generative ANNs, it comes down to attention and what you condition yourself to be attentive to. Of course pictures or code, or whatever will be convincing if you treat these things as secondary, like a doctor would treat creative writing as secondary to their job though necessary or a biologist would treat writing python scripts.

Fascism is back in fashion I see. Rimshot.

Let's consider what you are doing on a purely abstract level.

  1. You prompt an generative large language model what to do.
  2. You receive a set of information whose veracity you can not count on in any practical sense.
  3. You go and confirm this information. Likely you are inputting similar prompts into you search engine of choice giving you answers from experts that are more or less guaranteed to be relevant and useful.
  4. Then you act accordingly.

We could also do the following:

  1. You have an idea/question that you search. You have keywords to type into forums. You get the relevant information. If need be you make a post on a questions board.
  2. Then you act accordingly

Restricting VPNs? That's like trying to restrict the internet completely. China's tried that and failed.

Spotify's functions have not changed a bit since 2016. It is literally the same application, what has changed are the tiny things they're doing for compatibility but that is not really worth mentioning. Intentionally leaving UX out.

Honestly what code is there to write for this glorified web browser? They're probably also outsourcing most of their data collection and recommendation algorithms.

Buy physical media, rip CDs, share shit and that's it

Heya,

I saw someone else post their KiCAD design here for review. Now I would like to ask what improvements could be done with mine. I read a lot of documentation and followed many a YT tutorial the past two weeks and I am by no means experienced with PCBs or even many aspects of microelectronics aside from PC building.

I know that the data line from the USB C connector could wind up being a source of trouble because of the lengths. Is there anything here I could do?

I can only upload single images for posts, so I'll try putting another one in the comments that shows the generalized layout of the right keyboard.

Peace and love
