Oh my word, what a fossile.

What I care about is whether the model is capable of the tasks I give it at the lowest cost. Right now I'm using Kimi-K3/GLM-5.2/Minimax. Sonnet is great but I burn through the tokens too fast. Opus 5 set to max is amazing and more intelligent than all of us. .998 of the time I don't need that kind of intelligence. I just need the job done.

Technology and information migrates from one form to another. Let me get my papyrus.

We will see if this project has legs. This is the kind of efficiency we desperately need. Now if we can address efficiency with llm training.
Good. Perhaps the administration should follow the law.

Sematic ablation... that's some technobable.

My word, it doesn't have to be that way.

BBC, nice PDF. Fossils.
Re:LLMs are the ultimate demoware on Wednesday October 01, 2025 @11:01AM (#45438515)
LLMs are useful if you use them properly and they are getting better everyday. Arguing against LLMs is like arguing against a shovel. Just use it right.
LLMs are powerful tools but they are not going to save the world. I have seen this before. The experienced crowd gets chuffed because it is a new pattern that radically changes their current workflow. The new crowd haven't optimised yet so they over use the new way of doing things until they moderate it. The only difference I can detect is that rate of change increased to an almost uncomprehensable pace.

The wave’s still breaking, so I’m going to ride it out until it smooths into calm water. Maybe it never will. I don't know.

Re:Investors bought a quarter of US homes sold last year on Tuesday August 23, 2022 @02:54PM (#32569497)
I fully support developing newer cheaper alternatives to housing and cut open the jugular vein of this rotten market. Let the investors and creditors burn.
Ignoring what the value of a currency may be I wish buyers would reject bad prices. I really care about what the actual cost of a thing is from dirt to package. The companies that market, make and deliver products should make a profit but I'm not buying their Ferrari. Capitalism start with "No deal, not at that price."
Re:A man who uploaded 2M videos to YouTube [video] on Tuesday May 24, 2022 @09:49AM (#31492055)
I don't care. YouTube sucks. It really, REALLY, sucks. The interface sucks. The algo sucks. The controls sucks. The content is psychologically damaging to kids. The content is barely good for adults.

The platform needs to be refactored completely and if the ad guys show up, kill them (figuratively and in jest).
