have undoubtedly improved but LLMs are using the same open source libraries and tools available to anyone…

I read a surprising article on Lemmy just a week ago that explained that that is not how LLM’s do OCR. LLM’s convert images into tokens and then treat them like text input. I can’t see how it works but it does. It’s why they are better than classic OCR neural nets but at the trade off of enormously larger computation cost.

It doesn’t make sense but Banks treat current stock price as a liquid asset.

The only reason to bring them up is because you agree with them.

Hitler shouldn’t be taught because you don’t agree with him? How is anyone supposed to learn from history if you hide everyone that did anything bad. That’s how we got Trump. It was a failure of education.

It’s important to remind everyone that he was a piece of shit. Republicans are whitewashing his history.

He gets to borrow against the shares as if he has that trillion in cash.

I don’t see how it doesn’t make sense to build the justification after attacking.

You are already bombing. The justification is done. Politically it reduces justification because the public (as was shown) is now against the bombing. When Trump attacked Venezuela, he didn’t bomb a school, wait a week, and then kidnap Maduro.

Getting the other country to attack to justify war only works if you either make it look like they attacked first (false flag), or have deniability on your attack so their retribution can be spun into a first attck. (Secretly bomb the school with spies but leave evidence so they know it was you but can’t prove it.)

So there is absolutely no reason militarily or politically.

That makes no sense. You are already at war. You have already justified it. Getting the other country to defend harder is not what you want. You want to win.

Bombing a school wasn’t 5D chess by Trump. It was incompetence.

They allow 3k reasoning prompts per week.

It’s their unlimited plan that loses them money. Where did you get 3,000/week? Their message cap is hidden and users complain they don’t know how much of their “unlimited” is used up before being cut off.

Where did you get $1k? Semianalysis’s report is paywalled but seems thorough.

There was an article yesterday that if you sign up for the most expensive OpenAI plan and actually use it fully, OpenAI loses $14k a year on you.

This reminds me of the early Internet days. I ran an ISP. Like everyone else we offered “unlimited” service. But if everyone actually used unlimited we would have been bankrupted because it would tie up a phone line (channel of a pri) and modem on the portmaster. Regular users only used 1/10th of “unlimited”.

But the op is complaining about the much lighter .net where the shared libraries for all apps are a fraction of the space of bringing in an entire OS environment for each and every app.

.net isn’t Windows.

Don’t even get me started on .NET or the various and sundry “redistributables” constantly required by every tool you try to use.

It’s absurd but Linux is far worse. Instead of addressing library bloat and versioning we have Docker which just throws EVERYTHING into a bag and makes you download an entire OS environment space to run one app.

Unless you are on a private tracker, the trackers go up and down and require changes every few years too.

Thanks but as I said, it’s about the collecting, not the watching. I captured/filtered/converted shows like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command for my nephew 25 years ago. I’m not going to delete it despite that no one is watching it or will watch it for decades (maybe when nephew has kids or if I have grandkids). It’s not even available on any streaming.

I think if I ran maintainerr, it would tell me to delete everything except the home videos that my mother in law likes to watch.

I’ve hosted my own media since before Plex existed. But I understand that almost all of my video is “collection”, not actually useful.

My server was useful for about 5 years when my kids were young and it provided all their shows without ads.

I’m starting to delete stuff.

What is AOT? Attack on Titan?

That’s weird. I have never had a doorbell fail. My current doorbell is a 1990’s system that goes to mini crt displays in the house. Kind of like this

It’s over 25 years old.

I also have several noname IP cameras around the outside and they’ve never failed. One is almost 10 years old now.

Biblically accurate pi.

We can hope but VMware showed that extreme price hikes work. I thought VMware would collapse but they’re more profitable than ever.

Whales, man.

ARPA was military.

"From 1958 to 1965, ARPA’s emphasis centered on major national issues, including space, ballistic missile defense, and nuclear test detection.[21] During 1960, all of its civilian space programs were transferred to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the military space programs to the individual services.[22]

This allowed ARPA to concentrate its efforts on Project Defender (ballistic missile defense), Project Vela (nuclear test detection), and Project Agile (counterinsurgency R&D programs), and to begin work on computer processing, behavioral sciences, and materials sciences. The DEFENDER and AGILE programs formed the foundation of DARPA sensor, surveillance, and directed energy R&D, particularly in the study of radar, infrared sensing, and x-ray/gamma ray detection."

ARPA was renamed to DARPA in 1972.

"DARPA supported the evolution of the ARPANET (the first wide-area packet switching network), "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA

There was no Internet in 1972. It was ARPANET which was run by DARPA. The D was added to reaffirm that ARPA was the department of defense, not civilian research.
