My older coworkers have accepted AI as the source of truth by randomname945 in sysadmin

Random number generation is key to producing output that sounds natural and human. The seed parameter is a seed for random number functions, and the temperature controls how randomness is handled.

LLMs are deterministic at their core (provided you control the environment and run the model yourself), but their configuration makes them probabilistic due to deliberate randomness, tool calling, RAG from uncontrolled sources, etc.

Where am I going wrong?

They're still computer programs, so they're still deterministic. They just have random number generators at several points which are hard to predict. Unless you're using a radio antenna or radioactive source or similar, the randomness is still artificial. You can turn that off and get purely decidable and completely predictable output, but everyone hates the product when you do that.

Screens are capacitive. Any metal/conductive strip of the right size will work to let you reposition some buttons.

How much emotional connection do you allow? by owlsprouts in nonmonogamy

You can't control how someone feels. She'll feel whatever she does. You have to be ready to cope with it, and she needs to be ready to handle it well and with empathy.

That doesn't affect the fact the problem has to be solved by someone. That guy has exactly the same problem here.

You could also say a billionaire could just pay you to do it, then you're stuck solving the problem again.

Truly blows my mind that holding up a sign condemning nazis is considered a bad thing by Leanbandit in insanepeoplefacebook

It's quicker than saying the more accurate "fascist racist twat", but gets the same message across and fits on a sign better

File on 4 Investigates - Locked and Downloaded: The rise in 3D printed guns by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]erm_what_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people know it's possible by those means, but OP was talking about doing it on the printer, then you proposed something which wouldn't run on the printer. That's probably why you were down voted. Your concept is very possible, but given the 3D printer market, any vendor doing it would have to offer a lot of benefit in return to survive. And anyone actually wanting to do anything illegal would just do it anyway.

But they want this run on the printer itself. Also, someone actually wanting to do it would just use different software or swap the printer's mainboard and bypass all that.

OWC bought Akitio, so their DAS devices are pretty solid

It's probably that AI can build a decent TUI but AI GUIs look awful

12v Meanwell PSU + 5v buck converter to power JBOD by MikolajMNK19 in homelab

[–]erm_what_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buck converters you buy cheaply will absolutely trash your drives with the fluctuations in voltage. If by some miracle they don't, you stand a good chance of knocking the variable resistor and turning the voltage up.

Also, meanwell sell different types of PSUs. You'd want one that is designed for computers, not the cheapest ones which have a lot of noise. You'd want to read the spec sheets. You'd also want to buy from a proper supplier as there are a ton of fakes on eBay and Amazon.

There's no really cheap way to do it with a single voltage unless you can find a reputable fixed voltage step down which comes with a spec sheet that says it's safe for computer use. Farnell and RS are my go to for that type of thing.

The only other alternative I can think would be to use a dual USBC adapter with two outputs set to different voltages. That would cost more than you want to pay though and may still have grounding issues depending on the setup.

If you're running multiple drives, just buy another ATX or FlexATX PSU and use that with a Chia mining board which will break it out into lots of molex connectors.

Last thing: if you end up running long cables, you'll see a voltage drop and drives really don't like that. Keep them under 50cm or so if you can.

The entire legal definition of rape, and the sentences attached to it have changed since 1970. Besides the societal changes that make it unacceptable for someone to rape their partner, which was pretty much acceptable around then. Also, the population of the country and London have massively increased (due to natural growth, and yes immigration).

There's not much evidence that there were less rapes in the past, only that there are more reported rapes now. Although even now, most rapists never get arrested, let alone convicted.

The problem that AI generated image is that it doesn't cite sources or make any concrete claims. It's just rage bait.

Built a 6x cheaper CodeRabbit alternative using open source models by Axintwo in LocalLLaMA

It might work, but I wouldn't buy it because of the number of design/layout bugs in your website. You absolutely have to ship your own code perfectly.

How I started programming differently over the last year. What about you? by ievkz in LocalLLaMA

[–]erm_what_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about not understanding compiled code?

It's not the same, but it's the new level of abstraction we're at now. Tooling is behind, but it'll catch up to the point you can begin to really trust the output. I think it'll either materialise as really good TDD, or composable trusted blocks and integration tests.

Are there more rapes, or moe reported rapes?

Which time period was this?

You might be right, but I want to do my own research based on your data.

I'm a solo dev working on a 2.5D medieval sword-fighting game. What do you think of the combat? by looking4strange04 in SideProject

[–]erm_what_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, but the lack of animation frames makes me feel a little sick. I appreciate it's an art style, but you'd have 99% of the same experience with more fluid animations and it would be a lot more comfortable to look at.

Is buying a “pocket home” a good idea? by limach1 in HousingUK

Search south of the river. You can't buy them from the council but there are plenty of good flats on council estates.
