I love watching videos like this when I can point at the screen and say, “I’ve got that book!”

Talk about missing the point. Work names releases after characters and the next release, U, is up for a vote. With the release of the Dune Part Three today, I suggested Usul.
Then I do a search for images of Usul and find out there’s an AI named Usul that helps write defence contracts. Didn’t Herbert write 6 books saying AI and war is bad?
Impressia seems to fit the bill for me. I like that it’s open source and available on GitHub.
Now I need to find more people to follow.
Asking worked well for a Mastodon client. Are there any recommendations for an iOS PixelFed client? The “official” one I found just crashes on my new phone.
First, let me say I’m happily employed. I’m getting very tired of recruiters cold calling me with an “amazing offer.” For a contract role. In Arizona. For “market rate.”
You expect me to sell my home and move my family to another state for a temporary job that probably pays 66% or less of what I make now. Sigh.
LeelooAs a software developer who took an elective in neural networks - when people call LLMs stochastic parrots, that's not criticism of their results.
It's literally a description of how they work.
The so-called training data is used to build a huge database of words and the probability of them fitting together.
Stochastic because the whole thing is statistics.
Parrot because the answer is just repeating the most probable word combinations from its training dataset.
Calling an LLM a stochastic parrot is lile calling a car a motorised vehicle with wheels. It doesn't say anything about cars being good or bad. It does, however, take away the magic. So if you feel a need to defend AI when you hear the term stochastic parrot, consider that you may have elevated them to a god-like status, and that's why you go on the defense when the magic is dispelled.
Mikel Forcada EA5IYL / N7EES#FT2, "the fastest mode" is currently only available on Windows and there is no source code. It should not be in our bands like that.
