The fact is, right now I don't find LLM(s) very useful, more of a waste of time and energy. But as you say, they're here to say, we're continuing to "evolve" the tech, so let's see what happens...

@lyse the cows on 1, 2, and 3 are very skinny, eh? Big contrast from those on 5 and 6.

24°C brutal? Pfff, try 33°C then, and a 53% humidity. šŸ˜‚
@prologic automobiles, airplanes, radios, televisions, computers, the Internet, the WWW, etc. I mean, come to think of it, pretty much everything on its infancy kind of sucked.
These 24°C were brutal. The cow in 03 was standing in the bog, not sure why she liked this brackish water. It sounded "tchlk, schlk" when she moved around in that mud (what do you call that?). Some of these canyons, like 14, are over 30cm deep. Wow. In 15 at a height of two meters, a torn rag hangs in the tree in the creek bed. It's crazy to see how high the flood came in 16 with all the washed up stuff in the hedge.

@movq I can't debug it, I don't have the knowledge to do it. One thing I have noticed on LLMs is they don't excel at mathematics (duh!). They are better at providing information that already exists, sometimes even in a logical way, or generating artistic outcomes (poems, songs, letters, images, videos, etc.). They can even generate decent code! (granted, not to be blindly trusted, but very helpful for a programmer, as it could speed up development process).

I have found other issues, like asking it who was the youngest person to ever been elected president of the United States. It often replies with wrong information to things that should be trivial knowledge. Every once in a while fully hallucinates.

The technology is rapidly evolving. I wouldn't just dis it, and simply call it "pieces of crap", or worthless things. There has been other things/technologies/stuff that worked/performed/functioned bad in their infancy, but then get better, and more useful, over time.
@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 ā€œthere are 2 Rsā€, 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.

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.
