  • Stop telling me AI is the future [Still Vreni]

  • As much as I’d like this to be true (don’t believe all the benchmarks), in reality, using e.g. gpt 5.5 is still a lot less pain in the ass, mostly has to do with more reprompting (gpt is just smarter, oneshots stuff more often) + a lot slower (on an RTX 3090 for reference).

    You're not wrong, but perhaps you are not giving them adequete time to be wrong. Oneshotting is not the be-all, right is, especially maintainably correct. I've found letting them fight over it useful.

  • Eh, valid I do in fact agree and perhaps I exaggerated with 16GB, I do in fact have two,

  • Yep, what a load of bollocks, the only thing this study is useful for is why would you do this.

    I am not dissing your friend. I actually prefer canids that make a choice. Companions before slaves.

  • AI is software. We never stopped any software change before.

    Good point, hard to stop something that has near zero cost of copying (see also 'piracy')

    Which is why techbros are trying to put a moat around it with 'datacentres' . Problem is, as the tech advances, it keeps getting smaller. QWEN 3.6 27B can run fine on a 16GB video card and if you give it more time it'll be as 'smart' as bigger models. Doesn't have as much world knowledge as the bigs, but for many usecases that's irrelevant.

    Really, 'datacentres' are more about stealing compute from the masses so they can rent it back, with control.

  • Fair cop, no offense intended, just describing those I've met in the wild. I have an afghan hound, four thousand year old breed, that I would also class as 'aloof canid', still love me dog...

  • "Scan to Verify You're Human": Google's reCAPTCHA is trialing a new "experimental challenge type" which requires desktop users to use an Android or iOS device to be able to pass it

  • FWIW I've found passing it through my local SearxNG usually gives me a clean path to the content. But it's seriously worrying that some of the blocked content is publically available science (e.g. PMC Bioinformatics). But that should not be necessary, at this point a search engine should be a public resource. Fuck Google.

  • Heh, we have plenty of dickheads here, thanks anyway, and varying forms of toad 'sport' (golf, cricket etc.) Mild fun, but, again, little tangible effect on the toad scourge, shit's invasive.

    If I may, perhaps you could point your dickheads at the orange idiot, likely more productive. Sorry about the snakes, rule here is leave 'em alone and they will too (tiapan is so much more venomous).

  • Yeah, they're not making much of a dent in the toad population, probably don't taste good, but I find it fascinating that they have the level of culture where their groups get together and swap notes like this. Perhaps we should do that thing where they get a peanut for dropping off trash (was it cigarette butts, eww) but with toads.

  • Cheers, appreciated,

    hardly any of those tough bastards are willing to eat a cane toad.

    Crows mate, worked out to flip them on their back and eat 'em that way. Currently passing the word along to various murders when they meet up, smart bastards.

  • My sympathies. On the odd occasion I have had a chance to hang out, dingoes were cool, not dogs, but aloof canids. Love to you and yours...

    Not keen on 'Wolves in Australia' we seem to do fine without promoting bad invasive species, cane toads are enough.

  • Who has both?

    Jump

  • Was gonna say, roughly, who has those options. Then this is top (Canadian?)

    I am, of course, both. Wonder what happens if we release wolves in Australia. Guessing it happened and they died. Dingoes are cool though, and smart.

  • 9% of independent studies draw positive conclusions about the health effects of eating meat. But among studies backed the meat industry, the rate is 69%

  • K I generally agree, but not to argue on the internet levels. Be well.

  • Unsurprisingly, both of them are pretty bad for health and big industries.

    This implies health and big industries are aligned, whatever fence you're on, that makes little sense. Contradictory.
