I can now quickly identify various birds, minecraft areas, and those weird anime plushy things no problem.

They do this regardless of whose in power. they lean into whatever the current administrations policies are to benefit themselves. They’ve always done this. If a democrat wins next time (hopefully there is one) then they’'ll all shift their policies yet again to align with that administrations. rinse and repeat.

South Africa. They ship them in from South Africa. Now i’m just waiting for the “legacy” Nazi’s from Argentina

honestly it may have been the laptop at the time I was trying to install it on which was a hybrid amd/nvidia. I haven’t tried it on my thinkpads so I doubt it was ventoy as I’ve updated that several times with various other distros.

but yeah for whatever reason EndeavourOS I could never get installed. that and Tumbleweed are the two distros that I could never get working.

oh it’s great isn’t it? you ask it for help on some code, provides its solution, you try it and it doesn’t work so you respond with the error, it claims YOU wrote it wrong and then when yo utell it “I just copy and pasted what you provided” it says “you’re right, i’m sorry.”

Claude is to the point now where it just starts hallucinating on the first prompt. it’s 100% unreliable now when before it was like 90%. no point in using it, it’s garbage. and Claude Code is just as bad now. If you or anyone is using Claude Code to develop ANYTHING I would highly suggest you stop right now because I can guarantee you with nearly 100% certainty that whatever shit it’s writing into your stuff isn’t going to work. period.

wait Persona 5 came out nearly 10 years ago? no way feels like it was 4 or 5 years ago. damn I now suddenly feel very old.

one of my favourite series. Happy Sega was able to get the license back for the music cause the last PC Port didn’t have it.

I have a hard time justifying paying for it. it’s a good search engine but I don’t agree with their AI stance.

I use cash as much as I can. sometimes you get a discount if you pay in cash in some places. There’s a computer parts store near me that does this. If I pay cash I get a discount because it’s better for them than paying visa/mc/interac fees I guess.

Just go with CachyOS. it will allow you to install hyprland during the install process and provide you with Cachy’s dotfiles of it and everything you need right off the bat which you can then further configure yourself or just clone the omarchy dotfiles if you so wished.

EndeavourOS is fine but I always had issues installing it via ventoy (i.e. it doesn’t.) so I can’t recommend it. With endeavour you’d have to manually install hyprland, manually configure it from the get go, manually install kitty, etc etc etc. Cachy will just save you a bit of time and give you a solid base to start from for everything. Plus the CachyOS kernel is pretty good which is an added bonus. I use it on my NixOS system.

yes Omarchy is essentially opinionated dotfiles for Arch.

Israel speedrunning “biggest piece of shit country” in the past few years it seems.

this is pretty par the course for Japanese companies. I’m not excusing it, i’m just saying Japanese companies will go all out with this kind of stuff. also look at Nintendo. They’ll sue people to bejesus and back on a routine basis.

bingo. I live in Toronto and do all my grocery shopping in chinatown on spadina. it’s cheaper, better quality, and i’m supporting local businesses. When I want a snack I go to loblaws and “shop” for it.

I’m trying to care but I just can’t.

Take what you want folks, I know I do when I’m in a loblaws, shoppers or metro.

huh…a Souls Like Gundam? that’s what it looked like to me. Also interesting to see Gundam vs what appear to be monsters and not mobile suits.

good on Kinew but also keep in mind he also wants to slap age verification/id checks on stuff so…

remember kids GIGO “Garbage In, Garbage Out”.

the general public just isn’t aware of this. they assume that anything and everything an LLM spits out is fact. Again, the LLM/AI MUST provide a solution. any solution. that solution doesn’t need to be correct or even exist but in order to retain users it will and will consistently and constantly provide a hallucinated solution.

And in most cases, without their knowledge, the user is also to blame. I can see a lawyer asking an LLM “are there any cases where such and such happened” trying to find something INCREDIBLY specific to what they need and the LLM 8 times out of 10 will say “yes! there is!” and hallucinate a case that the lawyer needs. You see it all the time if you ask Claude with assistance in trouble shooting a specific tech or code problem. “I’m having issues with this and this, can this library or app or program solve this for me?” “Yes! here’s how” and then will tell you something the library or program or whatever can’t even do but you’ve lead it to that direction and it MUST provide a positive retention-able solution.

Even using AI as it SHOULD be used is no longer good. just using it as a sort of rubber duck doesn’t help anymore because of GIGO. the training data, across ALL LLMs, is so tainted now you might as well take all the money we’re wasting on data centers and tokens and just toss it at the crazy dude outside the bus station and just ask them the same questions.

sure there are games for retired people. EVE Online. pretty much everyone who plays that are either middle aged or retired.

that’s a big IF. few weeks ago I had to teach a junior dev how divs worked, he had no idea. he even initially asked an LLM how they worked and the LLM hallucinated half the responses.
