Snake: “Who voted for the Devour the Snakes party?”

Other snakes: “… I thought they would only eat the snakes I dislike…”

Which I find pretty accurate for their name since they might not hatch immediately at the end of April, where spring starts. It makes more sense for Mayflies to be mostly absent in April, but everywhere in May.

But is literally starts with “I am a lamp”.

“NASA, I have a gaming PC and the complete collection of The Witcher. How can I help?”

This is why the BSDs never really took off. Corporations like Apple took them and made them their own, and stopped contributing proportionally to the profit they made off them.

Linux has the cancer license (in the words of Bill Gates) that had brought more Linux, and any attempt to capture it results in a fork. Copyleft has proved much more resilient than MIT, it forces you give without taking away.

It’s such an unusual style I couldn’t take my eyes off the hips of the woman wearing this. Now I know what an Arab seeing an uncovered female ankle for the first time might feel like.

Just last week Altman was saying that a single trip to the market consumes the same energy as like 500 prompts. A fairer comparison would be against tokens, as some people do text prompts while others are generating code, images, or video.

If it was that cheap the subscription would be in the range of a streaming service.

Eh, he was committed to die anyway, so the helicopter only added style.

These comments have been unusually educating for a simple comic strip.

And extremely abusive, since they don’t review the code fully, but a human must review the whole commit before accepting it. They save their time but consume that of others.

I can assure you this happened. I was the cake.

My bum, shoulders, and legs hurt in a perfectly real sense after having driven about 14 hours between yesterday and today. Dreams only hurt if you focus on it, and it’s never that detailed or deep.

Take philosophy thought exercises out of imagination and into practical situations, and many cease to look profound.

Given that there are greedy “entrepreneurs” everywhere, I shudder to think what a boob speculator would look like.

To anyone who interacts with it? Would you deny that a program automate mental labor in the same way that a sawmill automates manual labor? Isn’t that some degree of intelligence?

Now, we have very imperfect LLMs who nevertheless can be instructed not with program code, but actual natural language, and they react accordingly. Isn’t that also intelligence? Computers that understood natural language was the realm of science fiction just five years ago.

I get it that people hate LLMs, both because how idiots use them, and how corporations push them everywhere; but not recognizing the intelligence in those programs is naive at best.

It is evident that it has intelligence, it outputs intelligent responses usually adequate to its input, even if it’s badly phrased. What it doesn’t have is sentience, conscience, and a learning loop.

Thank you! I used this weird thought to wipe my brain from other weird thoughts, it needed that.

Crazy how USA seems unable to keep up, and it appears its best chance of maintaining hegemony is bringing China down, not improving itself. Never expected to see this shift in my lifetime.

They do, and I experimented with both, but wasn’t able to get better performance from Jellyfin compared to Plex. Always running on the same hardware. Still run both though, just in case.

Especially on non-GPU systems, Jellyfin is slower at transcoding than Plex. I don’t know the internals, but I have both running in the sam machine, and Plex is always noticeably more responsive. Not by a huge margin, but still it is.

XBMBC (later Kodi) gang present!
