To add to this.

Just because i failed to act on the stuff that needs doing doesn’t mean i had it easy or that am not exhausted.

Usually the reflective awareness of my stuck state drains me way more then if i would you just be able to get up and do it.

Confident and well pronounced speaking. Combed hair and good hygiene.

This is an observation, not an endorsement. I botch up normal speaking frequently and i find i am way more judged for that than whatever it is i actually say.

It taught me the way of unix.

I used to be afraid of the terminal in linux. Now i am eager to try openbsd.

Does it support Navidrome/Subsonic?

There is a distinct lack of pretty media players that support it. I know a few but none have been perfect.

By starvation.

I am not even kidding, see indie game the movie.

Games are art and making art in this works comes with the sacrifice of not being able to afford anything until you by chance become popular.

Ive had similar ideas on verified unaltered media to combat fake news. Such an archive but for journalism would be a great start.

I had some doubts people would get the joke. I should go add an /s

To answer your question it depends on the keyboard but i don’t actually care, the difference between - and – is just semantics to me.

Just google the character and copy paste it as needed. /s

To be fair, i had to dig pretty deep in order to make that comment.

Good people still exist, so does love.

First, did you read even the research papers?

Secondly, none are out that are actually immune to jailbreaking lol, Where did that claim come from?

Gpt4 is just an llm. Indeed the better version of gpt3

Gpt4o and 1o (claude-sonnet possibly also) rely on the generative capacities of the gpt4 model but there is allot more going under the hood that is not simply “generate the next token”

We all agree that a pure text predictor are not at all intelligent.

The discussion at hand is wether the current frontier of ai has moved the needle up. And i still would call it pretty dumb, but moving that needle, it did. Somewhere around (x2y0.5) if i have to use the meme. Stating its (0,0) just means people aren’t interested enough to pay attention, that these aren’t just llm anymore. That’s their right but i prefer people stopped joining the discussion so uninformed.

Now that is fair.

How is good old fashioned code comparing outputs to a database of factual knowledge “predicting the next token” to you. Or reinforcement relearning and token rewards baked into models.

I can tell you have not actually tried to work with professional ai or looked at the research papers.

Yes none of it is “intelligent” but i would counter that with neither are human beings.

This is true if you describe a pure llm, like gpt3

However systems like claude, gpt4o and 1o are far from just a single llm, they are a blend of tailored llms, machine learning some old fashioned code to weave it all together.

Op does ask “modern llm” so technically you are right but i believed they did mean the more advanced “products”

Though i would not be able to actually answer ops questions, ai is hard to directly compare with a human.

In most ways its embarrassingly stupid, in other it has already surpassed us.

At that point the computers is promoted (or enslaved depending on pov) and called a (home) server.

One nuance. You don’t need to provide access from outside your home network if you don’t want to open the ports, i prefer that most of services remain local for security anyway. Once those ports are open, you or anyone else can connect to the services using your_external_ip_address:portnumber

You also dont need to run it 24/7, i started with a minecraft server that ran on planned times only, then a system that was online during afternoon-evening but not at night-morning.

It is also possible if not recommended, to use a vpn to tunnel in your network and than you can access everything just like if you where at home from anywhere.

If it all sounds intimidating, a laptop to try things out will do fine. Don’t expect a perfect polished system on first try, i have redesigned my network from scratch multiple times over the years. If you do want to get serious there are plenty of offices that have “old” desktop servers with pretty impressive hardware, the fans may make a lot of noise though.

The Hardware in my current home server is mostly parts that got upgraded in my main pc. I have reached a point where i am willing to sometimes spend extra money on what my partner sometimes dubs “my second pc” but it is also doing a lot for us at this point. Much cheaper then a store-bought NAS.

Op mentioned not living in the US so this may not be a legal option.

I am not sure about most of these but I remember a European discussion on wether pepperspray should be legal or not.

This was amazing to read, thanks.

Why? Does 95% of digital advertisement even serve a single valuable purpose?

I get that websites need funding and that legitimate business require some way communicate their services exist. We need to solve the problem for the former and create specialized accessible safe spaces for the later.

When is the last time anyone here saw an ad for a local business, when is the last time anyone recall willfully clicking one? Was there actually anything useful there?

From what i recall ads almost always are one of the following:

• sex, barely legal drugs and predatory video games. (Lumped together to make a bad pun)

• real product/fake price: oh this item isnt in stock plz look at catalog

• politics, buy our guide to get rich, actual illegal scam operation.

None of them are honest or respectful to the customer. People aren’t prey, stop baiting.

Admittedly, for me this is personal. Autism means i experience the extra noise as painful. Plastering it on useful websites feels like a hostile attack to keep me out and unwelcome. I downright refuse to look at watch nor will i support them through ad free subscriptions to the point of it having become a digital disability.

But come on, can we smart online people really not figure out something else that isn’t based on literal brainwashing.

Sometimes your kid is doing something you feel like you should correct. Ask yourself this question.

“Is or may this behavior cause actual harm to themselves or anyone else?”

If the answer is no ask yourself:

“Are you already exhausted?”

Energy is a limited resource, even more so for a parent. You have are responsible for your child well being. That means in a time of actual crisis you need the energy to make the right decisions.

Sometimes (definitely not always) Learn to converse your energy by looking the other way if they are not causing actual problem.

Examples are Playing with food, coloring on papers there not supposed to color on but you didn’t still need and some forms of tantrums.
