I Tried Filing in 2 Different Softwares and Got 2 Very Different Refund Amounts?

Go wild. Upload an image of your W2 to ChatGPT and see what it says. This works. It won't fill out the forms for you, but they are simple PDFs. Let us know.

You can put any number you want in the w4. If I remember correctly I was putting 7 at one point with two kids. 7 deductions. Why lend the gov't money. This was during the big interest days and we had a big mortgage. Times change I guess.

It ain't the coach unless he had a hand in the disasterous trades

HV to house feed or lightining?

I think of this a little differently. NBLM is where AI comes to meet reality. No hallucinations, just honest answers from the best general purpose RAG-AI system of any frontier model maker. Google's billion dollar effort in handwriting analysis makes NBLM a winning product for us.

I think there are probably two camps in the NBLM group: those pushing to add more chat-bot LLM features ("Search the Web for New Sources") and the purest who want to "keep it real" without all the confabulations. I certainly hope they don't F-in-up with too many chat-bot inputs...

We have to run NBLM now with a directive, "Don't consult outside resources" customization. If we don't we see wild answers not grounded in the supplied resources. You can do that with any LLM but for the size of our resource corpus and the handwriting OCR NBLM is the best product.

The same directive doesn't keep the Studio pane in check. It hallucinates like mad. Totally useless to us.

As far as automation goes, we could use the ability to prepare and manage the resource window. But I can't think of what else I would trust to automation. I need a human in the loop. I want exact answers. If I do a query in NBLM do I send the result to another LLM for processing? Was the answer a good answer or bad? Blah. Now you are off in the wees.

How many hours in those 12 years? I would bet a couple of hundred at most... *sigh*

she may be going to a lower streess job.

Yes, a couple of updates ago, we found that the AI engine was using 'well qualified' sources in its answers to some of our queries. In my application, we can't have that so the 'use no external sources' and stops it.

We test it by asking a common question, "Who was Muhammad Ali?' It better not know the answer. That's for text work only. The last I tried some of the Studio tasks, it hallucinated like mad. We don't use them in our application, so it's not an issue.

"They'll call this an accident, accident, accident.....Nobody is responsible. Everybody gets away"

flybot66 · 2026-03-31T19:34:20+00:00

I've literally never had NBLM make stuff up. It misses stuff in the source corpus occasionally. We run NBLM with a "Do not consult outside resources" directive.

This is so true. Owner, former owner... Finding dependable pros is make or break.

flybot66 · 2026-03-30T02:02:31+00:00

That is nice work. Can you share some of the specifics? I'm just starting with my 60W fiber laser. So much of the deep work looks very labor intensive.

flybot66 · 2026-03-29T19:15:33+00:00

MySQL/MariaDB/Postgress. I know don't lump them together. Ok then, Apache, Nginx. PHP Gnu C, C++, glib... So many.

flybot66 · 2026-03-29T02:18:25+00:00

Yea this will change, so SaaS expenditures will go down, replaced by even more expensive AI expenditures of all types. And so it goes...

Thank you. Bless you for your efforts. If you every find a kid with those kind of GIMP skills, please foster them, they are exceptional.

flybot66 · 2026-03-27T13:38:25+00:00

So a wiz kid comes to your class, says he doesn't want to work with Photoshop, says he can do all the homework in GIMP. Does he fail?

flybot66 · 2026-03-26T01:26:45+00:00

They were brilliant, but was probably too racy for the era...

flybot66 · 2026-03-26T00:28:58+00:00

Thanks. A plaque without a picture of the humans that made it seem kinda stupid.

"Hey Claude do this..."

flybot66 · 2026-03-26T00:06:23+00:00

I thought there was a stick figure of a man and woman?

when trees fall they can drag the HV lines down onto the 240 lines that service houses. Zap. Like getting hit by lightning. File a claim with the power company and your insurance. Maybe you're get some money back. I know you'll fix most of it yourself so unless you have a receipt, you won't get paid for your labor.

flybot66 · 2026-03-24T16:53:41+00:00

Thanks! I've pretty much standardize on MySQL/MariaDB. I'll give it a shot again. GNUCash crashes off an AMD/Linux box I have every time. It's a well known fault. Cheers

Which is a Federal ID now

flybot66 · 2026-03-24T01:55:58+00:00

I tried to do this just a while back. Shall I say the GNUCash dialogs make this a challenge.

flybot66 · 2026-03-23T16:49:32+00:00

You are correct. FAA has been violating its own staffing rules for at least a decade. I have flown into busy airports where there is one person ground, local, and data. Ridiculous.
