I had two fitbit trackers before getting Sense, and honestly, I keep it on life support, buying replacement 3rd party straps and charging cables.

When it inevitably dies, I’d move on. I never found a use for Google assistant, it can’t even set my google maps navigation properly, can’t set a reminder.

The only thing it ever did of value to me is 5 minutes of asking it for a joke.

The alligators were very accomodating.

All this fuel talk when IRL you can’t drive anywhere if fuel in the tank is older than several weeks.

You zap the metal until it liquid.

TIL Sonnet 3.7 is worse than 3.5. How come?

Any Firefox-based browser can use “Tree style tabs” it’s vertical tabs from the time before they were cool. Very customizable.

I just don’t ascribe philosophical reasoning and mythical powers to models, just as I don’t ascribe physical prowess to train models, because they emulate real trains.

Half of the reason LLMs are the menace they are is the whole “whoa ChatGPT is so smart” common mentality. They are not, they model based on statistics, there is no reasoning, just a bunch of if statements. Very expensive and, yes, mathematically interesting if statements.

I also think it stiffles actual progress, having everyone jump on the LLM bandwagon and draining resources when we need them most to survive. In my opinion, it’s a dead end and wont result in AGI, or anything effectively productive.

If I could think I’d be so mad right now.

Statistical models are not intelligence, Artificial or otherwise, and should have no rights.
