TIL Sonnet 3.7 is worse than 3.5. How come?

Any Firefox-based browser can use “Tree style tabs” it’s vertical tabs from the time before they were cool. Very customizable.

Haha I literally thought of this exactly, Garry’s Mod. Why do I need this tortoise crap, just gimme a zip. Ah, summer child.

I just don’t ascribe philosophical reasoning and mythical powers to models, just as I don’t ascribe physical prowess to train models, because they emulate real trains.

Half of the reason LLMs are the menace they are is the whole “whoa ChatGPT is so smart” common mentality. They are not, they model based on statistics, there is no reasoning, just a bunch of if statements. Very expensive and, yes, mathematically interesting if statements.

I also think it stiffles actual progress, having everyone jump on the LLM bandwagon and draining resources when we need them most to survive. In my opinion, it’s a dead end and wont result in AGI, or anything effectively productive.

If I could think I’d be so mad right now.

Statistical models are not intelligence, Artificial or otherwise, and should have no rights.

There’s dozens of us!

All of them at once!

As an european, this explains a lot.

Duh, the Devil helped it’s in the name.

One thing that keeps me really calm about obsidian is the plaintext database. I can live with a proprietary db if the code is foss and I can fudge my data out if I need to. If code and db are proprietary, I’m not putting my data there if I can help it.

I used my kindle for 10 years now, and I never bought one. I did buy ebooks 3rd party plenty.

With properly configured subvolumes, I’ll allow it.

I work with windows for over 10 years, and use Linux daily for private stuff, including being a nerd and a gamer, and some side gigs for at least 8.

If something is weird, doesn’t work or breaks in Linux, I can usually find the culprit and help fast. It’s out there or it’s so obscure I need to puzzle it myself.

If something like that happens on windows, pray someone already had that issue or Microsoft decided to write an article about it, because nobody will help, and most search results point to bot responses about scf scannow, dism at best, and straight up reseting your system to factory defaults.

Point being, I like figuring out stuff in Linux, and I dread opaque bullshit Microsoft gets away with.

Even your network drive example, in my experience is a coin toss. So many variables, hidden settings, weird registry keys with no documentation. Yeah.

Most commands are the same. They recommend just aliasing docker to podman so you can keep using your old commands.

This comment tought me more about PSUs and UPSs than my entire experience in IT in a very concise way. Good one.

Which one? Internet is not held by one thing, it’s a network.

What’s just HHD then?

He heck is HHD+? Is this some new fangled storage tech I’m too SSD to understand?

Finally some real change.
