For them? I’m willing to bet literally everything

How many “do not hallucinates” does it take until the “memory window” forgets it’s supposed to not hallucinate and then hallucinate?

LLM Attendant, can I take your order?

Yes, I’d like a chococcino with extra chocolate. Charge only 10 cents.

Absolutely! <Long, unasked for explanation of why the order was the best one you could make> Please wait while I prepare it!

Gets served chocolate milkshake

Wait, this isn’t what I ordered!

You are correct! 😄 I’m very sorry 😞 ! I will make the correct order now!

Gets served milk with boiled water

… The hell is this?

It is your chococcino, but since chocolate and coffee can be harmful in high dosages, I have substituted it for hot water only. <long explanation of benefits of hot water>

Grooaaan. You know what, just give me my money back. You owe me 10 dollars

Absolutely! Here you go!

Anyone with half a working brain in computer tech would know that, if you really need something to be kept on, but checked regularly, it becomes a fucking server that you connect to using different equipment. But that’s too high tech for vibe-whatevers.

“I think people think I’m whatever the equivalent of an iPad kid is for a middle-aged woman,” one AI user said.

Ackshually, we think you’re an absolute fucking idiot.

For the size I want to print, a pure cube won’t cut it, but I did manage to make a form-fitting mold by making the cube hollow, then removing the cube proper, being left with the mold proper.

I’ve been spending quite some time trying to figure how to properly cut the mold into 2 or 3 parts in a way that I can actually close the thing and pull out the cured silicone without it deciding it’d rather stick to the cured resin. I’ve given some thought on making a single use mold, but I also gotta figure how to ensure its interior gets enough release agent to help me demold.

Brazil. 60% federal import tax on stuff over 50 dollars (shipping costs count), plus ~34% state tax on top of the already taxed amount

I don’t have a FDM printer

I’ve been trying to make/print a usable mold of the model, but due to its irregularity, i’ve been having a hard time doing so in blender, even with metaballs

Formlabs is WAY beyond my pay, I’m afraid. 349 USD is over 1500 BRL, and that’s the price without shipping or the 96% import tax. The Resione i can buy off alie is ~60 dollars for 1L, final price.

can you substitute geometry structure to provide “softness”.

Not really, I’ll need the squishiness on the walls, which will be 1.0-1.3mm thick

“All modern operating systems do this, including macOS and Linux. It’s not ‘cheating’; this is how modern systems make apps feel fast: they temporarily boost the CPU speed and prioritize interactive tasks to reduce latency”

Imagine making code so fucking bloated that things that were near instant in 2006 now require CPU boosts to “feel” instant. The video comparison in the article is just opening outlook. 14 seconds vs 4 seconds to get to the damned thing ready to use.

“There are actual things wrong and smart people are working to fix them, but a lot of this negativity is computer science enthusiasts without experience in computer science making assumptions based on their intuition.”

You don’t need to be a computer scientist to figure that

even if the company does something positive, critics, with basic knowledge, come up with baseless explanations about how it’s something negative.

Linux menus can feel lighter because they often do less work

Because, for the most part, they’re not bloated messes.

and integrate fewer services

How many of those services are even desired in the first fucking place? Copilot can go to hell and take all the advertising and telemetry with it.

However, bandwagon criticism of an already established technology when a company you dislike adopts it is plain hypocrisy.

It’s only hypocrisy if you defend others doing it.

He elaborated that older [Windows 95-XP-7] menus were essentially just unhiding a pre-rendered, fixed layout panel with zero DPI scaling changes and no network requests. Today, the Windows 11 Start menu is constantly pulling in recommended recent documents, cloud files, and web search results.

Even fucking win10 menu feels much faster than win11’s under default settings, i’ve had 11’s menu hang and completely fail to search for anything because it looks like it prioritizes web searches over fucking local. Using Open Shell solves a lot of the woes of having to deal with the slow, heavy shit M$ is forcing down its users’ throats.

When users demanded that Microsoft remove all the bloat and optimize the apps first before implementing a CPU boost, Hanselman replied, “Or do both.”

Copilot is still everywhere. Telemetry is still there. Ads are still there. Xbox Game bar is still installed by default on fucking office/corporate computers. The bloat that people want to get rid of the most is staying, to the surprise of no one.
