I want to buy the whole of Switzerland.
At the moment, LLMs just aren’t very good at writing anything that is interesting. I experimented with it a bit for shits and giggles, and tried out several different local Models and online Services.
I’m not saying that it’s impossible it’ll improve, but for me as someone who enjoys writing, having your writing done by a tool just misses the point. I like to write because it allows me to express myself, and off loading parts of that process to a tool makes it less personal, less me.
I won’t judge anyone with a different opinion, but for me, part of the enjoyment of reading also comes from seeing how the author and their experiences colour their writing, which usage of such a tool, in a way, also diminishes. At the moment, I just can’t see an avenue to the prevalence of LLMs making creative writing better.
Is the VR streaming in the Local net (PC to Headset)? Just run the WiFi router without plugging it into the wall. Connect only the pc and the headset.
Also, appart from that, to use more wired devices, maybe use an unmanaged switch. Don’t think that does anything forbidden here.
Three. One lost, one broken, one in my drawer.
Thinking about making it four, three doesn’t work with some outfits.
Full disk encryption always seemed the most sensible to me, but I’m not sure whether that needs to be decrypted after hibernation.
That’s pretty much my ThinkPad’s Specs. Fine for almost all stuff I have to do on the go (expect CAD, don’t try to run BricsCAD on the thing, it’ll make you go crazy.)
I use full disk encryption on it, as on all my other devices, and it’s fine, speed-wise. The SSD is NVME, not SATA, but I doubt the performance impact would be noticeable on a SATA SSD if that’s what you’ve got.
Yeah, the thing is - I just don’t get it. Like most people likely do, I have thought about what I’d do if I came into a large sum of money, maybe by selling a company, and honestly, the answer is, a relatively normal flat in the city I live in; some travel, but nothing ‘luxury’, just seeing places I find interesting; giving both to charities I find worthwhile, and my local community; and investing in a responsible way (fuck returns if you get them by investing in oil and weapons, one could argue that investor owned companies as such are a problem, but I’m probably not going to be able to solve that can of worms).
So the difference in my life would be having less financial stress, being able to give back more, and focusing more on family, friends, and hobbies, and I just couldn’t imagine blowing through money like that man has.
It may be partially because I saw my father find incredible success, only to spend a lot of it on pointless luxuries before dying in incredible debt, but it also just feels like common sense.
I get called like once or twice a week, and it’s usually something time sensitive or important. Always found people just flat out refusing to answer the phone crazy.
Yeah, that’s a bit of a hike, probably would throw my plans for the week.
That does sound fun. How far from Berlin are you, in rough terms? Can I walk over, or is it more of a cycling distance?
Also, to touch on the other questions in the post, I have an Apple Music Subscription, but do have about 50 GB of flac files of my favourite music mirrored to most of my devices, in case I’m holed up somewhere without Internet access.
I have a switch emulator on my pc. Ones for other consoles too. Don’t see much added value in a physical console, since I need a reasonably powerful PC for work anyway.
I’ve gotten a free CD at a concert recently. I don’t have anything to play it on.
Yeah, I thought the article was fine, though. Writer is more tech focused, editor seems more business focused, and the editor is usually responsible for the headline.
Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I’m feeling frisky.
A modern replacement for OpenScan. It’s workable, but some features don’t work on Modern Android, and a good Scanner app is probably something most people could use. Could look at Adobe Scan and Office Lens for feature inspiration.
Logseq uses a bit of a different paradigm though. It is cool, but I wouldn’t say it’s a drop in replacement.
Is the obsidian Android App not open source? I thought all their stuff was. Kinda embarrassed I never checked.
Every time I read about the Japanese justice system, it just seems like abject horror.
