The common ancestor of standard German and English is ~1600 years old. Quite different languages grammatically.

Me after a month of employer induced LLM usage

And it’s usually filter coffee like the US unfortunately.

Redbull Waldmeister and Grapefruit flavour. Probably not available outside of DACH because no one else uses Waldmeister/Sweet Woodruff as a flavour.

It’s definitely doable but I won’t pretend it’s a pleasant process compared to what people are used to with Windows modding, and Wine overhead can mean a large unoptimised mess of Stardew Valley/Rimworld/Skyrim mods are going to perform worse.

Status LEDs/displays likely won’t work unless the manufacturer makes a Linux driver, publishes driver documentation, or it’s a super popular device. Reverse engineering USB is possible but very much a passion project. Most gamer hardware hasn’t had to care about Linux users till the last few years. Input devices at least are usually normal HID devices which are standardised.

If jobs replaced by LLMs and image generators aren’t real work, then what work did those steal from?

I‘m using it for Stardew Valley and it works pretty well. Still early days and a bit clunky to use though. Not any power user features to speak of but I guess that isn’t their target userbase for a mod manager.

I think Germans would prefer if I stabbed them than talked to them on the train.

Australian possums are monsters in New Zealand who even the biggest tree hugger there doesn’t shed too many tears over them being disposed of.

There are retailers who have pockets in women‘s clothing by default but it does have some marginal cost. In a world of fast fashion, if they can get away with it, they will.

One thing I worry about is that there‘s going to be a fire sale on the polluting crap that are powering these GPU farms. It’ll likely end up in poorer countries because it’ll be cheaper than new renewables.

My high school in NZ was pretty poor, so even in the early 00s, we still had Cold War-era maps of Europe in textbooks and on the wall, and no access to the internet (computers were taught to us as glorified typewriters). It took until I was older than I care to admit to learn that Czechoslovakia was no longer a thing.

Scientifically it’s multiple continuums with trends across a broad population correlated with foetal and pubescent hormone exposure that is poorly applicable to individuals. But sure let’s reduce that complexity all down to „male/female“ scientifically.

He’s going to have real trouble proofing his air vents against cement as well.

That’s part of the reason these models haven’t improved much in the last year or so. They‘ve absorbed all the public facing internet and whatever copyrighted works they could get away with pirating (pretty much all printed work), and now they are faced with a brick wall. They haven’t come up with a way to create new content, to reinforce a „correct“ statistical model without causing model collapse, and I don’t think they ever will. The well (the public internet) is already thoroughly poisoned so they have to use a snapshot of the pre-LLM internet, not even an up to date one.

If it isn’t good enough after consuming almost the entirety of humanity’s written output since the invention of the printing press, it’s never going to be.

I buy on Bandcamp and put the FLACs on my Plex server, so I guess I’m technically streaming them, but not for a Spotify fee.

It’s a meme on German language subreddits when Americans shit up the place in English.

As someone who around when shitredditsays was the bogeyman, always has been.

On proprietary products, they are awful. So many hallucinations that waste hours. A manager used one on a code review of mine and only admitted it after I spent the afternoon chasing it.
