but they're using other people's data centers, not their own

yes it cushioned the fall, but not sure if it was overly modified beyond realistic car weight for production / public.

For my rental properties where tenants don't necessarily take good care of things, most definitely wait until the appliances break to replace them.

At that point of low risk, why not just wait till it breaks and then get a replacement?

Seems the AI analysis added no value, but took, up time...

Microsoft’s most powerful Surface arrives on October 16th, alongside other RTX Spark devices.

Microsoft's Macbook Pro competitor for local LLM

I used to then switched to the amazon built in price tracker, then set alerts or auto buy below the lowest price it's been in the last year when I Really want something but don't need it immediately...

A sweater I liked that dropped to $19 just triggered the auto buy during this prime day sale...

their website says it's only local AI

People are arguing it's human level intelligence...

No he says in the actual talk which model it occurred on and it was an older model he was using that caused that to occur with Marseille. They have since corrected it from doing that anymore. It was only used to illustrate the prediction machine that it is...

I don't see the many weighted words as a weakness, I see it opening up what's under the hood of the prediction machine that it is.

LLMs are very cool tech, definitely not a model hater, the use case on when to use it makes a difference, it's not AGI.

LLMs are awesome awesome tech!

A lot of people seem to think it's human level intelligence.

fair reply to an hour video, Scott is just so good to hear his talk is better than I can explain it...

go to 24 minutes and 07 seconds.

it's statistically determining what the next word should be based on all the text it's been trained on. It's not intelligence and he shows what probability it puts on each word that it chooses, but also shows a lot of the other words it was thinking of using. In a later part he shows how it uses words that are not the highest probability (and you question why did it go this route, it's not more correct), but the user never sees this, they see what they think is the correct answer always...

he also shows how context you feed it has a lot to do with what it returns... to the point he can get it to return the capital of France is Marseille, just by typing Marseille a bunch of times before the question. Human intelligence doesn't get confused like that.

And it's not a "hallucination", it's just probability of the next token prediction based on the information it's been trained on and fed, it's not intelligence.

watch this and see if you think it has intelligence by the end

"been about control and their profit margins."

they have no profit margins haha, it's huge piles of cash on fire...

Yes I was referring to the scale of replacement these CEOs are talking about because of AI.

What you describe makes sense and has always been the case with new technology overall

You'd think we would see a large spike in unemployment if AI was reducing the number of employees needed for jobs the way these CEO talk about AI replacing people...

right click on the app and select the window you want...

If it's tied to web APIs, libraries, or OS version feature APIs that are deprecated it will suddenly stop working.

I did MP3s on my plex server for a while but with endless new music added to my playlists it became a hassle and Apple Music was just convenient and Shazam adding any song I hear and like is just too easy...it also plays perfectly on my Apple Watch over cellular when I go for a run, but everyone has their own use case and where they want to spend their time...

If it lost it 10 years ago... where's website that still has the hacker ethos?

We already had Developers and the system in place this was a tiny feature in the scheme of things.

Internally it gives us a competitive advantage of the data being in our system from the beginning of the pipeline through the rest of the system where the data would be needed anyway.

What did the 3 apps do?

I did the same for one app to give me my speed in MPH as huge text as a HUD in a car

We were paying for Salesforce, then built the features we needed to do the same tracking into our interal tool and got rid of Salesforce to save money and simplify the data internally across departments

We are a C# .NET Core shop

Yup, better to die on that hill and have a code base that's manageable vs a mess that gets out of your control that you still die on!

I'm in a unique situation where I started the company so there's nobody above me.

I reject commits like this, make them re-write it and explain why such and such coding will never be allowed in our code base.

Forces the change in coding practice.

I love azure app service because I can focus on our code and code security and leave server management, OS security and physical security to Microsoft.

No servers, no VMs, no containers, just our code to focus on.

ah, thanks for the tip

What is a good alternative that allows me out of the box with no extra hardware to install a plex server, connect to Mullvad VPN and start / monitor downloads directly from the NAS device web interface or mobile App?
