  There could be some sense figuring first out using plant as water bottle. Old saying is that human survives few minutes without oxygen, few days without water and few weeks without food. Water > Food, and as hunter gatherer, food is around you (berries, roots, game) and you can carry them with you. Drinking water is more scarce and it’s storage is not so easy.

  Did you miss that open ai released the oss model few days prior to gpt5?

  Larger model: huggingface.co/openai/gpt-oss-120b Smaller model: huggingface.co/openai/gpt-oss-20b

  They seem to be quite good

  Using a bad translation/transcript as base for professional translator is still better than nothing. Like I said, translators are still going to be needed, but lots of the heavy manual work can be now automated.

  Also often when very domain specific language is used, the translation made by human can be bad, because they don’t know the proper terms. Of course good professional translators will ask these. It is also something that must be done with these dummy LLM models, you cannot just throw text into it and expect good results.

  That is probably true in many case, buy to be fair there are some jobs that have had huge impacts due to LLM’s, like translation.

  These jobs have been changing quite a lot before this AI bubble mainly because advances in speech-to-text, but I see the LLM’s as final step. The translator need doesn’t fully disappear, but the workflow changes quite drastically and some labor heavy parts are going away.

  Both can be true! (Being siblings and cousins at the same time, requires bit of inbreeding ofc)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks I hate it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.

  Isn’t it just that humans don’t see the ultra violet color they are, and therefore see it as white. There are many flowers that turn from purple to white. Bees can see those wave lengths.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best game ever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say that knights of the old republic was better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hardcore gaming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital.

  In my opinion you are giving way too much credit to human beings. We are mainly just machines that spit out sentences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft open sources MS-DOS 4.0⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If 6.22 is used in military/banking/insurance/emergy systems deep in the critical infrastructure, you don’t want attackers finding weakness in OS that is not patchable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft open sources MS-DOS 4.0⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume 6.22 is still in production, and might be that even someone is paying Microsoft for support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Simple challenge number handles that, for example Azure AD MFA forces that today

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Company device of course. Like mentioned, in IT, I want nothing to do with users personal phones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MFA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, as IT person I have to disagree, app based MFA is just way much easier to maintain instead of HW keys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handy temperature conversion scale.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha, sure, but there isn’t much to know.

  Sauna competition is that they go inside hot sauna and last one who comes out wins. They increase the temperature and throw water to the sauna stones. That humidity makes the temperature feel quite a lot harder (air is quite good insulator, which is why you don’t boil).

  In the competition quite often people got first degree burn injuries, which is quite crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Handy temperature conversion scale.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  100C° is not death, it is Finnish sauna temp. Really, Sauna competitions start with 110C°. Famously in 2010 one Russian competitor died, and the Finn who won had to be sent to ER.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have seen the same thing, gpt4 was originally able to handle more complex coding tasks, GPT4-turbo is not able to do it anymore. I have creative coding test that I have tested many LLM’s with, and only original gpt was able to solve it. Current one fails miserable with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (77F) outside.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Big part of the price was that Finland was close to needing rolling blackouts, because there wasn’t enough electricity. All transmit lines were fully utilized, and all available power plants on, so only way to get the consumption down was with the price.

  It worked, Finland dropped the electricity consumption almost 10% and we got through quite easily.
