- Comment on The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon 13 hours ago:
They can be useful, used “in negative”. In a physics course at an institution near me, students are asked to check whether the answer to physics questions given by an LLM/GPT is correct or not, and why.
On the one hand, this puts the students with their back against the wall, so to speak, because clearly they can’t use the same or another LLM/GPT to answer, or they’d be going in circles.
But on the other hand, they actually feel empowered when they catch the errors in the LLM/GPT; they really get a kick out of that :)
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 1 week ago:
The problem I’m discovering now with Linux & Lenovo/Thinkpads is that Lenovo officially only supports one particular LTS version for any given laptop model. For instance, an X1 Carbon gen 9 officially only supports Ubuntu 20.04. If your laptop – hopefully – lasts longer than the long-term-support duration, then you have to choose between (1) staying with an OS version that’s becoming more and more outdated, or (2) possibly be on your own if hardware/firmware problems appear in the more recent OS version.
Personally when my Thinkpad (Kubuntu) stops working properly I’ll go with a vendor that fully supports Linux, including updates.

Is there a link to the thing itself? Or a non-video presentation?

I don’t understand why they keep saying “the Trump admin is doing this”, “the Trump admin is doing that”, and so on. It isn’t the Trump admin: it’s the majority of USA citizens that’s doing this and that. They voted it. They’re the first responsible and guilty. Each one of that majority.
- Comment on What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? 4 months ago:
I’m completely with you!
What’s funny: I watched Castle with friends, and none of them got the references that Fillon made to Firefly from time to time… :) “What?! You’ve never watched Firefly?!”

I can agree, but could say the same of the others or of other answers. Viewer count may be very different in different countries too. My rule of thumb for “obscure” is: something I mentioned to acquaintances that they’d never heard of.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not trying to kill you (S01E23) 😂
(Which by the way is very close to a quote from Heller’s Catch 22.)

- Comment on Microsoft launches autonomous AI agents in November 10 months ago:
these autonomous agents represent the next step in the evolution of large language models (LLMs), seamlessly integrating into business processes to handle functions such as responding to customer inquiries, identifying sales leads, and managing inventory.
I really want to see what happens. It seems to me these “agents” are still useless in handling tasks like customer inquiries. Hopefully customers will get tired and move to companies that employ competent humans instead…

- Comment on Passwords have problems, but passkeys have more 10 months ago:
The current security philosophy almost seems to be: “In order to make it secure, make it difficult to use”. This is why I propose to go a step further: “In order to make it secure, just don’t make it”. The safest account is the one that doesn’t exist or that can’t be accessed by anyone, including its owner.
- Comment on Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears 10 months ago:
We aren’t supposed to accept that. We can simply not use their software. And as users that’s the only power we have on devs. But it’s a power that only works on devs who are interested in having many users.
