That’s how a lot of episodes of Star Trek worked. They would adapt SciFi short stories to the Star Trek universe. It’s a great way to both get great stories and support authors. I don’t think the “short story” publishing machines still run, unfortunately.
Heck, now that I think of it, there was actually a DS9 episode about a short story publishing company.
I certainly can become a problem. Reaching back to Digg, MrBabyMan had way too much power and influence, even though he basically just spammed news articles 24/7. Thankfully, the threadiverse doesn’t seem to be designed to promote people over content.
Mega trucks ans SUVs are what sells, I guess.
Unfortunately, people buy what they are told to buy through advertising and marketing. The demand for sports cars didn’t dry up because people lost interest, but because better margins were found in large vehicles (and since emissions requirements were easier to hit for large vehicles than small powerful ones).
If the auto industry decided small cars were more profitable, the entire marketing machine would start touting the benefits of small cars, and in a few years, people would be claiming they always loved small cars and are so glad they are back so they can replace their monster trucks with tiny hatches.
Finally, I can throw away my red/blue glasses and play Rad Racer for the NES the way it was meant to be played.
One of the fun things that self hosted LLMs let you do (the big tech ones might too), is that you can edit its answer. Then, ask it to justify that answer. It will try its best, because, as you said, it its entire state of mind is on the page.
The problem (or safety) of LLMs is that they don’t learn from that mistake. The first time someone says “What’s this Windows folder doing taking up all this space?” and acts on it, they wont make that mistake again. LLM? It’ll keep making the same mistake over and over again.
Thanks for the tip of checking about:config. You can specify an external server, it is also in the about:config. browser.ml.chat.provider. I’m not sure it’s a feature I will ever use, but I tested it with my local Open WebUI and it seemed to work.
How nice of them to have easy options for paid third party services, and hide the local options under about:config where I’d have no idea it even exists without a kind stranger letting me know.
They’ve also put it into the right click menu. And I think they integrated into the “click and hold link preview” feature they just added. And, annoyingly, with all this added AI, they made no provisions for locally hosted AI.
They also added AI translation in addition to their old translation system for webpages. I think the old one just used Google Translate, so the AI translation is a privacy win because it is done locally, but I may be wrong on how it used to work.
More like the other way around. The INDX was announce a while back. This is the first we are hearing about the CoreOne with it, but it really felt designed for it, there is a bar perfectly in place to work for the INDX.
Another worth while consideration is heat generation. That takes more power to offset that too. During the winter maybe it wont be so bad, but it can be brutal in the summer.
Wasabi is a very affordable destination for backups. And it has the advantage of not being one of the big three.
I’m glad they are offering a bigger option. The CORE One is the same build plate size as the MK3&4. It’s got some extra z height, but that’s it. I’m enjoying my CORE One, but the limitation on bed size is a little frustrating, especially now that some of their biggest competitors are offering much larger build plates at similar prices.
I don’t know if this is the case, but I’ve found that often Windows commands see the space as optional. It’s weird, but generally works.
And the search Dog and Wizard. I suppose those don’t count much, but they are worth remembering.
I’ll go to the magazine isle of Walmart with a pen and paper like a normal person, thank you very much.
Theoretically what they were offering can be useful. It both heats and cools, so you can leave the house temperature higher or lower to save on energy costs while staying comfy in bed. It has tilting feature which can be nice for reading or watching TV. Also, you’d hope that it would be a comfy bed in general for that price.
Of course this event shows the makers are fools and the concept of a subscription being needed, for an already overpriced bed, to do what a knob could do, is insane.
I’m really glad to see quadlets taking off. I’ve been playing with them myself and really happy with the results. They pair well with ansible. Letting you write your quadlet files in a way that makes them highly portable.
I feel like half my job is trying to stop false positives and other noise from hitting important places. Because false positives kill any chance true positives will be noticed/reacted to/processed.
Every 4-5 prints? What are you doing to your printer? I rarely even alcohol wipe down my plate. I have one side marked for PLA and the other for PETG (Since I’ve found the PETG residue tends to cause PLA not to stick). The only time notably clean my plate is when I accidentally forget to flip it between material changes or I touch it in the build area.
