  • That’s when you start the LLM showdown and burn all the tokens to have them compete. You eliminate all LLMs that make mistakes, despite your perfect “make no mistake” prompt. You end up with no LLM and are back to square one, where you make mistakes with your brain. It’s mistakes all the way down, tracing back to the first stone, which ever touched a human-ish hand.


  • Yeah. Fuck those. I just now have this case, where I cannot login to a service I pay a subscription for. Contact support, wrote explicitly “I looked into the spam folder. I even looked into the logs of my mailserver, your mailserver does not even contact mine”.

    Wait for two days, answer is (of course) “have you looked into your spam folder?”, nothing else. As soon as I manage to login, I cancel 😅 (jk, cancelled the payment already). Fuck those.



  • Yeah, people say that a lot. Then again, nobody knows the “what if” to compare it to. Like, how many brillant inventors were slaughtered in the trenches? What could’ve universities researched were they not bombed or shut down? I feel like we would’ve had crazy more cool inventions already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯






  • Better to take up a new hobby like woodworking

    Prices for woodworking are horrid right now, though, 'cause everybody is taking it up as a spare hobby 😅.

    Metal craft is where it’s at. Like, at our community craftshop you never get a slot for woodworking machines, but the metal shop is basically empty 24/7






  • The punishment is having a bad monetary credit score. Like with credit score all over the world. There’s nothing more sinister about the Chinese system than anywhere else, where credit scores are a thing. Granted, credit scores, especially for private persons, are pretty sinister in the first place.

    What let to this misconception about social credit in China is that there were people suggesting to extend it to more general behavior. You can find people everywhere suggesting crazy shit. Like just this week a part of the conservative party in Germany suggested using the army against protests, but nobody is drawing the conclusion that Germany is preparing Tiananmen 2.0 in the capital. It was lunatics suggesting it anyway.






  • Depends on the big company. Like the one I worked for had a budget for specific software requests. Nobody used it, so I could snack through all the stuff and try everything.

    Same glitch back in the day at the university library. You could request books and they just bought them, because apparently nobody else ever requested anything. I requested all the books and they just bought them, happy to be of service.


  • Funnily I feel just the other way around ^^

    Like, it’s only 10$ for something as fundamental as a search engine. It gives me way better results than any other engine I tried, and so far they kept their promise of making it better for me and not for some advertiser or data collector.

    And then a streaming service wants more than that, is not as important in my daily life and chances are that the one thing I’d like to watch right now is on another service anyway.

    Although I have to say, that recently I find the results not so good anymore. But I suspect that’s more to do with LLMs, because people just don’t communicate their troubleshooting anymore. So if I search “how do I get xy to work”, there’s just no quality content about it anymore, as people ask their LLM.
