I am actually using Gemini sometimes. And it is actually decent. Especially in certain tasks, especially at video reasoning.

I am all for a crackdown on social media, but please apply the same level of scrutiny of all social media, including Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, X, Reddit, etc.

You remember the first time Musk talked about robotaxis? He never delivered. This robotaxi is another vaporware

Programming was like a challenge, you have a problem and you need to solve it. You look into the internet, stack overflow, test different chunks of codes, reading documentation, etc. nowadays is simply splitting one problem into pieces, and then copy pasting.

To be honest ChatGPT pretty much killed the fun of programming.

Why don’t they start with OpenAI and other LLM vendors, because they are the biggest copyright infringement abusers of all time?

But there is a very interesting titbit in Wikipedia. He wanted to go to Jordan to study, but his visa application was declined by the Israeli authorities and only then he turned into terrorism.

The most successful way to fight terrorism is to provide those people some future, some prosperity, some hope. People turn to terrorism when they are struggling, when they don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.

I have never said that. What Israel is doing geopolitically is a grave mistake and would ultimately give birth to a lot more terrorists that they will kill ultimately and won’t lead to any long lasting peaceful solution in the region. And all this is happening with the silent endorsement of the West, which is even more disturbing.

Agree, but the explosive inside is very low, so the damage is mostly going to be inflicted on the person who this pager belonged to. From the initial reports all the casualties were linked to Hezbollah and even the girl was a daughter of a member of Hezbollah.

Me personally, I don’t defend the actions of Israel, but still think it is a lot more targeted than dropping 2000lbs. bombs over densely populated areas. Another question is of course if this will achieve anything other than strengthening the resolve of those people.

Unfortunately, nowadays to win a war, you simply need to be the richer and more advanced nation, and Israel has the upper hand here.

Most likely most of them were though. I mean I don’t think many people outside Hezbollah were using pagers, not to mention that most likely they tampered one or two batches of them only.

I am just wondering what the official government of Lebanon is thinking about this incident because in my opinion that’s a huge blow into the sovereignty of a foreign country. Imagine something similar happens in Israel or the US, do you think those countries would sit on the diplomatic table and negotiate?

Actually the disk drives makes the console attractive, as you can snag cheap second hand games

To be honest right now is a relatively good time to build a PC, except for the GPU, which is heavily overpriced. I think if you are content with last gen AMD, this can also be turned to somewhat acceptable levels.

No one is forcing you to connect your TV to the Internet. You can use it in offline mode and it will work just fine.

Can’t you simply not connect your display to the Internet, or place it after a firewall which is blocking the internet traffic.

I seriously don’t understand your concerns.

Okay, I meant not exciting. It is very much meh.

I think here you also need to teach your kid not to trust unconditionally this tool and to question the quality of the tool. As well as teaching it how to write better prompts, this is the same like with Google, if you put shitty queries you will get subpar results.

And believe me I have seen plenty of tech people asking the most lame prompts.

Copyright regulations for thee but not for me

I mean they hiked considerably the prices and then wonder why their cars aren’t selling well. Plus VW cars are very boring.

And you as an analytics engineer should know that already? I am using some LLMs on almost a daily basis, Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, etc. and I know for sure that if you ask it a question about a niche topic, the chances for the LLM to hallucinate are much higher. But also to avoid hallucinating, you can use different prompt engineering techniques and ask a better question.

Another very good question to ask an LLM is what is heavier one kilogram of iron or one kilogram of feathers. A lot of LLMs are really struggling with this question and start hallucinating and invent their own weird logical process by generating completely credibly sounding but factually wrong answers.

I still think that LLMs aren’t the silver bullet for everything, but they really excel in certain tasks. And we are still in the honeymoon period of AIs, similar to self-driving cars, I think at some point most of the people will realise that even this new technology has its limitations and hopefully will learn how to use it more responsibly.

Anandtech was more nerdy and technical and I presume less people were reading their articles But also the quality of their content was far superior.
