Nah linux bullshit is more along the lines of, the install keeps failing and the error message tells you nothing but after a couple of hours of trying different solutions it turns out you needed to re-name one file in the setup to a slightly different name.

I suspect Mint would work fine on that same desktop at this point, since it was just very new at the time and support take a bit to come in, but now its all set up how I want. Perhaps when windows next shits itself and I need to re-format anyway.

To make a long post short, windows is shitty but its setup bullshit is very straight forward and clear to deal with, linux is great when it works but its setup bullshit is byzantine as all hell. I got Linux working with only light bullshit on a laptop but just gave up entierly after 3 days of trying to get different distros at different advice working on my desktop.

Even a genuinely perfect model would immediately skew to bias; the moment some statistical fluke gets incorporated into the training data that becomes self re-enforcing and it’ll create and then re-enforce that bias in a feedback loop.

The Unmentionables?

How about faces the same punishment someone that isn’t an incredibly rich corporation would face? If that’s insurance then sure, if thats jail time then yes someoen should be punished just like anyone else would.

At this point that picture should be multiple layers of precariously stacked tiny pillars making up the entire base.

I think you mean episode 2 expansion 1.

You can if you don’t use gmail, or sign up for one without 2FA, the trick is going to be getting anyone to believe you’re stucko n a desert island.

Dies after 6 hours of trying to make an online phone call via various websites and constantly getting stuck because they want an excessive amount of personal data that I don’t have on hand with me on the island. The laptop had an 8 hour battery but beating myself to death with a coconut just seems preferable by that point.

This is one of those maps that’s just a map of US population density…

But batteries consistently improve year on year, we just keep increasing the demand of our devices in lockstep because 10% more powerful! markets much better than 10% more battery life.

Already 4 here, anywhere not on the coast is in a valley so the functional susnet is even earlier.

Oh I mean with setup, like I can download ollama and a basic model fine enough and get a generic chat bot. But if I want something that can scan through PDFs with direct citation (like the Nvidia LLM) or play a character then suddenly its all git repositiories and cringey youtube tutorials.

I’ve been looking into local models lately, mostly out of vague paranoia that I should get one up and running before it becomes defacto illegal for normal people to own due to some kind of regulatory capture. Seems fairly doable at the moment though not particularly user friendly.

Couldn’t you apply that logic to literally all animals including humans? Pain is just a sensation to make us respond to damage, the suffering part is entierly subjective and no one can be sure any of the other humans even are capable of it, we just assume its the case based on personal experience and empathy.

But is he actually particularly stand out at that or is he just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so? In another universe a lot of these people are deadend used car salesman types that no one takes seriously.

Do we know why yet? can I get odds on AI generated code being pushed without review?

I would guess because it has awkward rules interactions so its another layer of crap to deal with.

And cybernetics that won’t play adds in your brain until you have a seizure!. Seriously settings like cyberpunk and shadowrun are starting to look good by the standards of what we’re heading for. (Shadowrun is also old enough that you could actually just barely survive on a part time job without sharing an appartment even in the dystopia)
