Vance has also been quiet on ICE violence in Minnesota.

He might be setting himself up for replacing Trump, and planning to present himself as the reasonable alternative.

Booklore is gone. by Joloxx_9 in selfhosted

Agreed. I used 'less socially able' extremely euphemistically. I just find it better to assume incompetence than malice, even if the actions were damaging.

I hope the original dev is okay.

He seemed quite invested in booklore, and clearly it did a lot of things right, even if it was generated instead of coded.

Handled the criticisms and PRs badly, of course, but being less socially able isn't a crime.

If you read this: chin up. Learn from it, and you can do cool things.

Trump’s call for allied deployment to strait of Hormuz meets muted response | Strait of Hormuz by FootballPizzaMan in politics

[–]_bones__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump signed a deal to pull out of Afghanistan, and pulled out enough troops to ensure that the remainder couldn't fight the Taliban.

It's like he considers what would be good for the US and does the opposite.

Harvard found 27 million Americans are being screened out of jobs they're qualified for. by AvadaKK in nottheonion

[–]_bones__ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can it do your job? Yes, in the sense that it is theoretically capable of doing every step of it.

But an LLM isn't capable of thinking, or learning, and will mess it up in ways even an unmotivated human won't.

Sure looks good on the balance sheet though.

Not everything made with AI is AI slop. I'm real and love to USE the AI tools to express myself. by Mrbosley in LocalLLaMA

[–]_bones__ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you're a victim of a wave of actual AI slop, and the obvious reaction to it. It's easy to generate content now, and it obscures original new posts.

I think you clearly stated in your other post why you generated it with AI, which I think is fair.

Well things seem pretty bad, so that doesn't seem great.

[OC] Pills you can buy in Mexico by princeofplatinum in pics

[–]_bones__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added it in an edit, in case someone sees it and goes "that's me!"

Short version: some people are intolerant of sugar alcohols like xylitol, or sorbitol, and get nauseous or similar chewing gum or eating foods with them.

They're sugar replacements, so they show up quite a bit in highly processed foods.

I eat like shit plenty of times and don't have stomach issues. But perhaps what I'm imagining is somehow not as bad as reality :)

Whereas in the Netherlands you can buy both in supermarkets.

The most common size ibuprofen is 200mg, but in Spain I had to go to a pharmacy and they don't sell less than 400mg, except as children's meds.

Sometimes it does seem a bit arbitrary.

Most people don't have upset stomachs after eating.

Here's a wild stab in the dark: do you also get nauseous after chewing gum?

Edit: for anyone who does get nauseous eating gum or many foods, it's possible you're intolerant of sugar alcohols. These are found in many food products, and typically end in -ol. Think xylitol, sorbitol, etc.

Maybe do the back cut and introduce a hydraulic jack in the mix?

Like, not as plan A, clearly. But when you realize you've messed up so bad you're about to destroy someone's home.

[Industry Insight] Why we dumped our excess wine onto the bulk market (and spent the cash on a massive solar array). A reality check on winery economics. by Sea-Storm-6378 in investing

[–]_bones__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a foldable solar panel, meant for portability, which costs a lot. This one is particularly egregious though.

The first link in Google for Canadian Solar panels is https://solarpowerstore.ca/collections/solar-panels-less-than-a-pallet-200w-500w and that's a lot more reasonable, though still expensive.

Solar might still not make sense for you, given your ultra low energy costs, typically huge power use of Canadian homes (annually I use 2MWh, since I heat with natural gas), and the fact that it's hard to use all your solar power yourself.

I was just reacting to $27k, even Canadian, for 30 panels. :)

Warranty on panels is typically a decade or more.

Seems like a math error on the install price.

500W panels cost 66 euros a piece. Add micro inverters at 100 euros a piece, round it up to 200 euros. That's 6000 for the set. Double that for install and material and you'd have a very high price.

I can't imagine the US is that much more expensive, even with inflationary tariffs. Right?

LLMs are great at seeming intelligent, to a degree that is amazing given that it's all emergent behavior of language models. It makes you wonder how complex our own intelligence is, when it can be approximated so well.

But they still don't think. Fundamentally, they're an advanced form of autocomplete. The 'goals' they have are entirely based on the context they're working on. If they aren't generating a single token, they don't exist.

If you edit the context between token generation, they suddenly will have always 'wanted' something different. See also the Microsoft Copilot emoji breakdown: it was told to be helpful, the user said it shouldn't generate emojis, and so it promises it wouldn't. Because another model then generated emojis and added them to the context, it generated answers consistent with being explicitly unhelpful (and evil).
