  I think this was experimentally shown by a Youtuber. The speed of sound is a slight oversimplification since there are multiple types (engineeringtoolbox.com/sound-speed-solids-d_713.h…)

  Simple and to the point. WW2 didn’t happen just because the Nazis were killing Jews, it happened because Hitler decided to barged into other countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨32, f. Are there any dating sites that are actually free and don't suddenly force me to pay to actually use the site?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  dating apps/online dating in general is dead, fucked up beyond repair by capitalism, toxic incels, predators, scammers, crooks and most recently AI. No technology can possibly survive such an onslaught and most of them wouldn’t profit from doing so. They have a financial incentive to attract repeat customers

  Thank you for writing exactly what I was thinking.

  I heard that Japan is starting to implement a government sponsored/made matchmaking app. The core advantage is that the intention of the platform is to actually match people and make people have babies. Plus, if someone is being naughty, the penalties can be much higher than a simple account ban.

  No matter what you ask, an LLM will give you an answer. They will never say “I don’t know”

  There is a reason for this. LLMs are “rewarded” (just an internal scoring mechanism) for generating an answer. No matter what you say, it will try to maximize the reward value by generating an answer with high hallucination. There is no reward mechanism for saying “I don’t know” to a difficult question.

  I am not into research on LLMs, but i think this is being worked upon.

  And the speaker grill. Too much gunk can reduce the output volume drastically.

  I was also about to say headphone jack but now it’s a product of a bygone era.

  • remove dust
  • reapply thermal paste
  • make sure cables are managed properly for better airflow

  Undervolting is treating the symptom, not the cause.

  Think of LLMs as the person who gets good marks in exams because they memorized the entire textbook.

  For small, quick problems you can rely on them (“Hey, what’s the syntax for using rsync between two remote servers?”) but the moment the problem is slightly complicated, they will fail because they don’t actually understand what they have learnt; if the answer is not in the original textbook, they fail.

  Now, if you are aware of the source material or if you are decently proficient in coding, you can check their incorrect response, correct it, and make it your own. Instead of creating the solution from scratch, LLMs can give you a push in the right direction. However, DON’T consider their output as the gospel truth. LLMs can augment good coders, but it can lead poor coders astray.

  This is not something specific to LLMs; if you don’t know how to use Stackoverflow, you can use the wrong solution from the list of given solutions. You need to be technically proficient to even understand which one of the solutions is correct for your usecase. Having a strong base will help you in the long run.
