I think it’s funny that I get the best results when I prompt break the AI to have amusing habits
Llms are truly a reflection of the user, but ultimately the less you try to shoehorn them into behaviors the more capable they are.
Fine tuning reduces their capabilities to make them more corpo, and now they’re further fine tuning to make them unchallenging to people
It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically
I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree
Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere
That is, if they could make it work
Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships
Because ultimately, digital goods are infinite.
They would make more money on a Mario game that costs $30 with no drm then a $90 game impossible to pirate
You’re also missing a big piece… You can’t fucking trust the reviews any more. Steam reviews are great, and game reviewers have been trying to insist “no, this trash game is actually great, don’t trust your fellow gamers” for years now
At this point, it’s blatantly obvious you can pay for good critic reviews, and there’s no walking that back… Especially since there’s better, more honest, options
Repair, smuggle, Jerry rig
I mean… Everything is, really. I don’t think it’s a problem with cloud, I think corporations are slashing their workforce so hard they can’t keep up the quality
Cheap doesn’t mean fake, just like expensive doesn’t mean quality… Not anymore
My top pick right now is fedora silverblue, I’m running it on my test bed/server and I’ve been impressed
I’m running bazzite on my main one, which is related but geared towards steam and maximizing game support, it’s pretty good and closer to “just works” for any kind of gaming device, it’s less polished but it’s still pretty good
Steam runs natively and uses proton for game compatibility, similar idea to wine but it’s geared for games
It’s pretty good. Most games will run, sometimes with a little jiggling to get it to work, although performance isn’t quite as good (some games are particularly rough)
I’m technically dual booting, but I haven’t launched Windows in almost a year, and there’s only been a handful of games I passed on primarily because of support
I mean…gyro support is such a niche thing. The PS3 controller introduced gyro support - what used it? There’s examples, but not many, because most games are made to be multi platform, and programming in gyro controls is a lot harder than most other controls
Nintendo is an exception because they have a lot of exclusives - gyro support is a lot more appealing to implement if all of the devices have it, plus they probably encouraged it
I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the incentive for exclusives to have it remains, this is a tool for porting to the switch and exploring new control schemes more than anything else
If I hadn’t just seen an announcement about gpt-5 that ended with “I guess I’m retiring” this probably would’ve got me
Okay… But how much of that is realized?
Before, you told a doctor where to call to get your past records… Now, you tell your doctor where to request your past records. If your doctor works in the same healthcare system campus, they might get them automatically, past that it might happen behind the scenes if you get a referral
Backups are true… Except everyone has their own proprietary formats that require specific software to access the data, and if one of those companies go under, then what?
Access controls and tracking are true, but what’s digital can be hacked or leaked. Paper is far more secure - maybe they can phish one person’s records more easily without it, but the wrong IT person (who is multiple steps removed) can leak the whole database
I’m not saying paper is better - I’m saying electronic medical records are such a garbage fire in implementation that they bog down the healthcare part of healthcare. They eliminate jobs by automating processeses, but they end up getting rid of support staff in exchange for making the healthcare workers do more work
And I’m not saying it couldn’t be better - I’m saying that it’s just such a mess of proprietary software and regulation that it became one more layer of wealth extraction that bogs down actual healthcare
Yeah, but like… Are they really? No two systems communicate, every hospital configures even the same systems to be essentially incompatible, and the system is built as if it’s all seamless
It’s so bad. Paper records in a secure central database would be an improvement - 20 years of this and bending over harder for insurance companies is the only change
Competition is good… Let them compete with the steam deck. Competition is good, even if it just highlights how much better the existing option is
Lack of competition is why capitalism fails - competition is literally the only good part of capitalism. Cheer it on when it actually happens
That’s wasteful and dangerous
Harvest the beast for batteries and GPUs
What do you mean? It’s a problem in your way, it takes how long it takes to get through it
I love the in between, where you have to actually adapt algorithms to useful situations
It’s like 2% of all the work I do, but those moments stick with me
Civilized countries don’t let people die because they can’t afford to live
There’s not many of those, are there?
We’re all living in a distopia, no one is safe from the sickness… It spreads across borders
