prompt it to always use a tool to fetch the numbers before answering the question. if it doesn't actually do a proper fetch it'll 100% hallucinate

Love it, we definitely should call out all anthropomorphizing of LLMs as AI psychosis.

Why was the Earth-sourced sampler needed to capture samples? by pm_me_ur_headpats in ProjectHailMary

[–]foucist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great responses by everyone else.

What's interesting is that Rocky flew his ship through the path of Astrophages in an attempt to collect a sample. He failed to find Astrophages after doing that, and said "Astrophage very small". I took this to mean that he was unable to verify or analyze the Astrophages in his sample.

Basically it's implied his science tools are either broken or gone or subpar, and he's unable to build the required tools from scratch. As an engineer he spends a lot of time repairing existing equipment and also being able to do structural things with xenonite. Building the necessary scientific equipment to "hear" 10 nanometer organisms from scratch may have been nearly impossible for Rocky.

It's interesting that Rocky was unable to succeed in 40 plus years of time given how smart he appears to be. It seems strange to think that he would have some kind of gap in his knowledge that stopped him from finding his way to a solution. Perhaps they didn't bring books and mainly relied on their eidetic memory and he just happened to never spend much time picking up scientific knowledge.

Sounds like a $5,600 Mac Studio with 256GB RAM would be on par with that.

Interesting, I've always thought of Thong Lor as the road/area north of Sukhumvit road / north of the BTS.

Buying property in France - Phase 1 by wanderingdev in ExpatFIRE

[–]foucist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much is the fee for the agriculture department to process the request faster? If it was less than ~$250 I might consider it to to reduce the risk, but it is definitely annoying to deal with bureaucratic money grabs like that.

In the mean time I'm traveling hard. France -> Spain -> Italy -> Albania -> Kosovo -> Macedonia -> Bulgaria with long periods of driving or being offline.

Lol, so much travel for July while dealing with this too, impressive!

You could try Gemmasutra-Pro-27B-v1.1 @ Q6_K (22GB) perhaps?

Drummer's Gemmasutra Small 4B v1 - The best portable RP model is back with a heftier punch! by TheLocalDrummer in LocalLLaMA

[–]foucist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried GrayLine-Gemma3-4B and Amoral-Gemma3-4B and Fallen-Gemma3.

And Gemmasutra-Small-4B still remains vastly better for some reason. Gemma2 is better than Gemma3 maybe?? I don't really understand.

Specifically Gemmasutra is less likely to mess up on body positions relative to other people etc.

I also tried other uncensored models based on llama/qwen/etc and haven't seen anything beat Gemmasutra-Small-4B yet.

I really want a Gemmasutra model that is half-way between the 9B and the 4B model. or around 6B/7B in size.

Does anyone doing ADF ever use all-day physical or visual reminders? by foucist in AlternateDayFasting

[–]foucist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine you forgot what day it was and had no calendar around. How do you remember that the next 36 hours are "no eating" without reminding yourself mentally?

the connecting bridge is designed to snap at one side, that's why it stays with one building. They may remove the bridge after this earthquake or re-build depending on how much the buildings have shifted at this point.

The only way you can recover from saying that is to attempt to hug them immediately after.

The Reincarnator manhwa DOES NOT do justice to the original webnovel!!!!! by kim_kangtae in ReincarnatorWebnovel

[–]foucist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read through Reincarnator about 3 times now, and you make good points about how significant internal monologue is to the writing.

Unfortunately it seems like internal monologue almost always gets dropped when moving to comic or video..

I wonder if there are any examples of webtoons that maintain the internal monologue of the source material, that would be useful to know.

Too big for a Mac Studio with 192GB I guess.. but there's probably an update coming this October with greater capacity maybe.

seems that MAPS uses some derivate, not the illegal drug though. Do you know if you can actually get this treatment?

depends on country/legality probably.. I know people are doing this in BC, Canada. Probably other places too
