  • Something, something. The jews.

    See? There it is. The cultivated thought of groups with insurmountable differences - in this case a theological belief, it could as well be the color of the skin or some way of life. The forming of arbitrary groups, sides, us and them. It's just an arbitrary classification, there is no difference between jews or muslims that hinders them to live next to each other.

    (It's more complicated than that yes. There are always shades of grey.)

  • I don't see the connection between your ant/boy example and the series of wars and conflicts between Israel and the surrounding nations and organisations (Egypt, Palestine, Hamas, Lebanon, hesbollah, Iran, Jordan) let's say since 1948. Would you elaborate on that?

    I'm not very deep in the conflict, so please correct me. To me it looks like Israel is surrounded by states and organizations whose aim is to get rid of Israel because they are not Arab - hence Israel's strong and expensive military. Israel on the other side is rigid on the status of the occupied palestinian territories and threatens to destroy everybody who dares to attack them. And they did that after the attacks in 2023, including all the war crimes they committed.

    No party did nearly enough to defuse the situation before 2023. And the result is another round of human suffering and more hate and anger. That's why I said: everyone is the asshole here.

  • Accountability of a human decision maker is the way to go. Agreed.

    I see the danger when the accountant's job asks for high throughput which enforces fast decision making and the tool (llm) offers fast and easy decisions. What is the accountant going to do, if (s)he just sees cases instead of people and fates?

  • Meh. Musk isn't needed for people to vote for the fear mongers. (Also Hasselhoff had no hands in the fall of the berlin wall. Sorry :)

    That's a self made social problem (i.e. falling trust in the often untrustworthy politicians - i'm looking at you cum-ex-olaf or at you sabotaging-every-effort-Lindner). And an educational problem (eh, a well funded education system in country without substantial natural resources, who needs that anyways? Political education? Pfff, who cares.)

    People have fears, opportunists use fears to gain power. I think.

  • Every side is the asshole in that regional conflict - it's like as if the cultivated thought, that there are opposing groups which don't share compatible ideas, is the issue. And the civilian population suffers.

    Humans are stupid. (Or heinous, depending on the actors motivations.)

  • An LLM cannot think like you and I. it's not able to solve entirely new problems. And it doesn't have a concept of the world - it paints hands without knowing what a hand does.

    It is a system which learns the rules of something by means of reinforcement learning to tune the coefficients of its heap of linear equations. It is better than a human in its area. I guess it can be good for tedious, repetitive tasks. Nevertheless it is just a huge coefficient matrix.

    But it can only reproduce what is in the training data - you need lots of already solved examples in the training data. It doesn't work for entirely new problems.

    (that's also the reason, why LLMs don't give good answers to questions about specialized niche topics. When there are just one or two studies, there just isn't enough training data for the LLM.)

  • The right tool for the right job. It's not intelligent, it is just trained. It all boils down to stochastic.

    And then there is the ecological aspect...
    Or sometimes the moral aspect, if it is used to manage someone's "fate" in application processing. And it might be trained to be racist or misogynist if you use the wrong training data.

  • Main: primary provider. Use the volume tariff as a backup when the primary provider isn't usable.

    It's about access to NNTP servers (Usenet). The thing that was used before forums, reddit, Lemmy. But not like irc, matrix or telegram. You can write text messages and reply to them. And you can attach binary data like archives, pictures or videos (bulk data) to your messages - this is the interesting part here.

    To access the server you need a NNTP capable client. I.e. thunderbird - which is not especially suitable for down- or uploading binary data.

    For binary downloads you could look into the arr suite (Google it and you will find wikis and related discussion groups). Nzbget, sabnzbd... I don't know any details, until now I was too lazy to dive into that timesink.
