@bender Honest question (since I obviously know very little about this): Can you debug this? Let’s take the strawberry example. Can you pinpoint which bytes in your data/model/code/whatever are responsible for the answer “there are 2 Rs”, and then go ahead and fix them without affecting anything else?

@prologic one can understand how LLMs work, and even train one (with the needed hardware), if interested (that, of course, will not happen if uninterested to begin with).
I think LLMs, and whatever they morph into, will be useful. They are also not going away. As for the energy consumption, well, some say it is a good thing, as it will speed up the transition to green energy usage. :-)
@prologic all fundraising I have ever seeing are for institutions/centres/organisations, etc., that have a really big operating cost (they spend millions), or revenue (they spend, and also make, millions). That's how they managed to do both, spend, and make! LOL.

@bender I mean @movq is basisally spot on! These pieces of crap are just large expensive statistical models that occasionally spit out something sort of valid for some reason, but otherwise are the most useless idiotic and inefficient things I've ever seen or used.

I couldn't agree more! Especially on the insane energy requirements of this "AI" garbage! 🤦♂️ It's arguably worse than the cryptocurrency hype. It all needs to stop.

Sorry. I don't understand what you're talking about.
Recall might be the one killer app that ends Windows' dominance. Hopefully more people move to something other than Mac OS.
MS is pushing people to alt OSes. Copilot is a screenlogger and it's insecure. I'm so glad I switched to Mint years ago.

@movq Yes, classical "Abraummulden" and "Abrollcontainer". I haven't heard of any numbers yet, but I imagine that 100 houses have been affected. Probably more.
Here are a few photos: https://eislingen-online.de/_artikelanzeige.php?bearbeiten=_2024/2024_1150
But it's worse downstream in Ebersbach/Fils, if you want to read up on that. That's where the noise barrier collapsed onto B10 (I was mistaken on that regard, though, it wasn't the real river, but an overflowing water retention reservoir or something like that uphill that created a giant river, rushing down the streets and gardens, ripping out the accustic barrier). When water levels slightly dropped on Sunday evening, everybody here thought that we survived with only small damages, if at all. So the local fire service responded to help in Ebersbach where it had really escalated. However, they had to return shortly after, when a massive thunderstorm surprised us with very heavy rain and "land submerged" was reported back at home.

@xuu Too late for that. 😅 I don’t have direct control over those boxes. I’m just the guy they call when shit hits the fan.
(If XP didn’t have this silly product activation, I’d probably agree. 😅 But as it stands, Win2k was “peak Windows” in my book. 🥴)

Went down to the creek and there's a skip in front of every house. Oh dear. Normally, the creek is a few meters below the tree line in 01-03. But as you can see, it went over the fields, several tens of meters wide.
Three days after the flood
The fire engine house next to the creek was also flooded. But the operational capability of the fire brigade was not affected as they already responded.
It's crazy how the relatively shallow field road on top of the hill looks. It was already in bad shape, but that's now another level. The drainage area is rather small, but tons of gravel is now in the meadows. 10cm deep holes and ditches in the road. The very loose gravel is difficult to cycle and walk on.
@anth If you can find a UL 150 certified media safe it should stay at or below 150°F which should protect tape, CDs, etc.

Speaking of “AI” … I guess I gotta find out soon how to disable/sabotage Microsoft’s “Recall”, before this garbage takes over the family computers. 😩

@prologic Sometimes some “coding AI” spits out some partially useful snippet, and then one of us nerds panics and claims the end is nigh. I think that’s about it. 🤔
All these “AI” topics are extremely boring to me. (Traditional) computer stuff is a hobby and a passion of mine because I can *understand* it. How does an operating system work, how does a web server work, how does a keyboard work, how do you do 3D graphics, … All those are things that I can learn and understand, and that’s the thrill. But anything related to “AI”? It’s just statistics and a large model that spits out something for some reason … Super boring. I couldn’t be less interested.
And on top of that, “AI” requires a ton of energy (as far as I know), which we, as a species, cannot afford right now. It needs to stop.

@prologic that's not the way LLM work. LOL. If they were to "learn" by user's corrections, or contributions, then they would really be screwed.

FWIW I tend to find most 8-5 gigs aren't really interested in simplicity or efficiency. Software are often all quite meeslessly complex and hard to maintain both organizationally and technically.
I think part of it is also human nature and the effect of adding more people to projects or organizations.
I'm often reminded when coming across things like htmx of the adage of an Enterprise software team vs. a Startup or Open source team developing the same solution.
Aho gets it done faster, better and more efficiently?

do you guys in Germany normally measure rainfall in liters per square meter? here in Australia we normally just use a rain gauge and measure the number of millimeters of water collected in the rain cage as a protocol height.

Between Friday 8am and Monday 8am it rained 161 liters per square meter. Our weatherman in town measured alone 40 liters on Sunday between 22:30 and 23:45. On average we get 92 liters in total in the entire May and 96 liters in June. It was a lot, but i didn't think it was actually that much. Wow!
Down in the town a lot of houses have been flooded. The municipality provided containers for all the garbage. From what I read it was the smaller creek, not the larger river that went absolutely berserk.

@lyse Ahh I see! So it wasn't the river that reached you. Phew!
@prologic It was not the river water, but the rain water that found its way into the basement. It rained for a few days straight. So the ground was completely saturated at one point in time. Sunday to Monday night there was a ton of more really heavy rain, new water could not sink down anymore, so it leaked through the tight hole where the cables enter the house in the basement. That's roughly a meter above the basement floor. A tiny, tiny bit of fine sand accumulated on the floor beneath the hole.
I didn't even know that water can get through that hole in the wall, looks completely sealed to me. But as we learned, it is not sealed enough. I didn't see it flowing in, I just noticed the standing water on Monday morning.
