I enjoyed reading this, thank you.

Certainly sounds more interesting than my original read of it! Sorry about that, I was grumpy.
The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.
If you’re worrying about being replaced by that… Go find the code, read it, and feel better.
Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.
As the parent comment suggested, or there’s no way to opt out, currently.
I’m glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.
The Xreal air, or the one they were releasing this year, is potentially that.
Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.
To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.
I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.
Out of interest, have you seen hbomberguy’s recent video on plagiarism in YouTube and the section on AVGN?
I got a first generation badgy, and it had an issue that prevented it working with the battery.
Sqfmi said they’d sent out a replacement part to fix it, but never got back to me.
I love the ideas they have, but I don’t trust them.
Another vote for Binging with Babish - though my interest waned when he started going from “hey, I could try making that!” to episodes requiring ever more complex and expensive niche machines (e.g. dehydrators), I completely lost interest around the time he started doing the “going round buying folk things” series. Never really got back into it, unsubscribed after a while.
Bon Appetit was great, then everything happened, many folk changed (for good reason) and it just lost the appeal for me. I’ve watched some of the spun off channels, but some of the appeal for me was the interactions.
I used to religiously watch everything Shut Up and Sit Down put out, but found myself watching less and less over the last few years - turns out, they changed primary content creators and editor (if I understand correctly) around that time, and announced that they did so recently. Still watch occasionally, but it’s a very subtly different style that hits less reliably for me. May also be related to me managing to play fewer boardgames, lately.
That’s just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn’t have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won’t advance past that level of accuracy until it’s a completely different approach.
I suspect you’d have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.
To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. “what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine.”
So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.
Actually, for most uses of crypto it’s attempting to muddle in and “add” value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.
Had to look it up, but “most probably” built between AD 1000–1050. Love that it’s old enough that we’re not entirely sure…
Or, to use your example, reviews that don’t understand the product or play it for laughs. 😅
The “I” in “LLM” stands for intelligence.
Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I’m currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That’s not reconstruction, it’s just losing data.
Otherwise, yep, I’m with you there.
I don’t think loss is what people are worried about, really - more injecting details that fit the training data but don’t exist in the source.
Given the hoopla Hollywood and directors made about frame-interpolation, do you think generated frames will be any better/more popular?
QuickBooks, by far. Running that on premise (which we did before they offered it as a service) was an absolute pain.
Picard Musicbrainz is pretty awesome for recognising and then moving-to-the-right-place. I think it can also be automated, but I haven’t got to that level of trust yet
I’ll be honest, I’m very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn’t a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I’ve frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.
Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a “Pay with Google Wallet” style prompt on a website?
