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.

Having had a bank account in Europe for nearly 20 years, I never paid a dime for not having enough money in the account. The transaction just fails.

I'm so confused.

There's dozens of us!

FYI all ubiquity aps I ever bought broke within 5 years. Ymmv

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.

Ironically so is the price of WinRaR licence when free, better alternatives exist.

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.

Meaningless term nowdays.

I mean, they are. House cats are really just wild animals that tolerate people. And big cats used to people are like that too. I have scars to prove house cats can be painful in play, and big cats can be too. Except, you know, also huge.

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

I keep mine in a closet with other things I'm too attached to throw out.

If you're having egg problems I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 problems but a hen ain't one.
