I think it’s 6-12 jurors (although it tends to be on the higher end because of dicta from the supreme court)

or I’m missing something

Unanimity is true though. One stubborn juror can cause a mistrial which means the case gets a new trial.

Yeah. I think AI literacy is a real thing and should be taken seriously. Before generating everyone should internalize the boundaries and limitations of any model used.

If you have a hammer, everything’s a nail. And that reflex exists with AI as well, so everyone who uses is has to be careful in regards to that.

Used it as a toy for the longest time but by now I had to do a lot of coding and I was actually able to make good use of code completion AI.

Saved me about a quarter of my time. Definitely worth something. (FYI I use supermaven free tier).

Also I’m using ChatGPT to ask dumb questions because that way I don’t have to constantly interrupt other people. And also as a starting point to research something. I usually start with ChatGPT, then Google specific jargon and depending on the depth of the topic I will read either studies, articles or forum threads afterwards.

It did take me a long time to figure out which AI and when to use it, so mandating this onto the entire government is a gong show more than anything.

No AI is not useless, but it’s always a very specific use case.

If you’re interested, I suggest using the free ChatGPT version to ask dumb questions together with Google to get a feel for what you get. Then you can better decide if it’s worth it for you.

Asus sounds good.

Also heard and have seen it from HP work notebooks, wouldn’t wanna buy them now.

Also older Acer or Lenovo laptops used to have a bunch of bloatware on there. Idk if that changed significantly. I do have to say, think pads haven’t let me down though.

If he downloads a lot of movies that might get annoying, but if he’s just streaming them from a Netflix app or something that’s totally doable.

If he plays fallout idk how demanding that is to your disk, but games in general profit from faster storage. Movies usually don’t as much.

If he plays a lot of AAA games that are bigger, his drive will get crowded real quick with 256gb. If it’s just a few fallout games, he will be fine I think.

That said, 256gb is on the lower end of modern notebook hardware FYI, even on SSDs.

The storage sizes are universal, 256gb is 256gb. Just on an SSD it’s faster.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is like a CD, slower but more storage.

SSDs (Solid State Drive) are like flash drives, they are faster but not as much storage.

Also if your drive breaks, an HDD often only fails in part so your data might be recoverable. If SSDs fail, they fail all the way, and there’s no way to get it back.

And then there’s some quirks about secure delete, fragmentation, the amount of certified writes and things like that, but this is only a broad overview.

Also if you hear internal or external, that means external you gotta plug in via USB, while internal drives you have to open your case, insert the drive and connect it to the mainboard and power supply.

And M.2 drives are just way smaller SSDs that are always internal and they can be a lot faster than normal SSDs, but they need their own special slot on the mainboard.

I hope this helps :)

Also asking for the certified hardware nerds to correct and supplement my comment ^^

I mean we can see what they’re replacing it with and what that incentivises.

This incentivises people to use WeChat. Which makes me think it’s someone who has stakes in WeChat. Now I cannot prove that the Chinese government has something to do with it but this certainly looks pretty sus.

Because in a lot of applications you can bypass hallucinations.

• getting sources for something
• as a jump off point for a topic
• to get a second opinion
• to help argue for r against your position on a topic
• get information in a specific format

In all these applications you can bypass hallucinations because either it’s task is non-factual, or it’s verifiable while promoting, or because you will be able to verify in any of the superseding tasks.

Just because it makes shit up sometimes doesn’t mean it’s useless. Like an idiot friend, you can still ask it for opinions or something and it will definitely start you off somewhere helpful.

This one is far more important than it seems: take care of you nips! At longer distances they can get bruised so bandaids or similar things are advised.

Yeah none of this is good advice generally.

A person who just made a suicide attempt nedds routine and normality but with a lot of friendly interactions sprinkled throughout that.

Sometimes family can even be one of the reasons a person gets so driven to go that far.

So cutting off contact and potentially making his family put even more pressure on him is one of the worst things you could do.

Cutting off contact only helps if you can’t handle the situation or the person anymore, and that still doesn’t help them, it just shields you from mental stress.

I second that.

If this sounds like retaliation, that’s probably a good reason to get your union involved.

Either there is more to the story you’re not telling us, or your manager and that coworker are absolute assholes. Maybe even both.

I mean making someone ineligible to be president for as long as he is under investigation for insurrection, treason or other crimes against the United States sounds pretty straightforward.

He could always wait and get back into it the next cycle if the investigation gets dropped or if he’s proven innocent.

Don’t like it, can’t change a lot of it.

Some stuff I can replace with open source software, but a lot of stuff will always be proprietary and opaque. I kinda just have to deal with that.

It is by choice. Prominent developers made that choice because they thought it might eliminate a lot of the popularity incentives reddit creates.

Now I don’t agree with that choice, but many others here do. I don’t think this solves the incentive issues but just makes instances a bit more of a wild western and requires moderators to do more work figuring out what to make of an account.

Maybe it would be great if this is still an option you could turn on / off per instance or something.

Yes, this is exactly what I’ve found them to be the most useful for.

Here’s a list:

• ChatGPT

Lemmy will hate me for this, but it remains the best chat it there is, especially if you subscribe to the pro version. There’s different models but essentially it’s just a good bot that will be really helpful giving you feedback on thoughts and ideas.

A to A- tier

• Gemini

Google AI chat bot which seems to be well received recently. I will be an asshole an assume it’s not gonna be quite as good but it looks like they’re sticking out now.

A- to B+ tier

• Bing / Copilot

Microsoft’s AI attempt. It is an AI but it’s only OK. Might get enough out of it for your purpose but it already has a long list of hiccups recorded so this is not something I would hang my head on all the time. Because it’s got bing integration, generally the AI assisted search can be helpful though.

B tier

• Llama on huggingface

Basically an open source alternative to ChatGPT done well, although not quite as good. This Facebook’s work which they are graciously providing free of charge for everyone to enjoy and tinker with. Huggingface is great because you will always find live demos of all the models there so if you are not a power user, in a limited way you can use this model on the website.

Between B and C tier

• Llama self setup

Llama is open source so it is possible to set it up yourself. Using the webui it is possible to do this on your own PC, removing the limitations for conversation speed and message counts. You will be struggling if your graphics card can’t entertain the model though (good models eat vram for breakfast). If you have it setup, you will always get the best experience out of the Llama models which might make this worth it.

C tier

Other than those there are a lot of sites offering subscriptions to what is basically a different frontend for chatgpt or other open source models, which is arguably worse than all the options mentioned. There might be some gems in the rough but I haven’t looked too far into it. This should give you an introductory overview though which is presumably more helpful to you.

I personally use ChatGPT and I am starting to appreciate it a lot. It does still lead ahead of Llama or anything else.

After reading your comments, it looks like what you’re looking for is an AI that remembers your conversations. Generally an AI can only “remember” a specific amount of tokens (words iirc) and it will have amnesia about the rest.

I think the bigger Llama models will have high token cutoff as well as copilot (?) don’t quote me on that tho.

We’re not at the point where an AI will remember details for over a year from one conversation but if you always open a new conversation for a specific topic, you will already be able to get 90% of the way to where you want.

Good luck on your endeavors ;)

Seconding that.

Not cruel, but firm and transparent. Not too escalating, but not too subtle. Spot on.

I think this really depends on how you quit. If you do it on an impulse, that’s gonna really roll the dice, but if you already have another job lined up and you know the financial hit can be dampened by savings or another way, you might feel a bit safer.

I just heard that my contract can’t be renewed and it runs out in March, so I’ll have too look for something. I have enough time and I already took care of everything else so I don’t have to panic anymore, but the anxiety will be there until I secured another job I’m happy with, and I just gotta deal with that.

My current job is not toxic but it does keep me on my toes and one of my bosses I can’t get along with; he is always suspicious of me and I can’t really deal with that. I just wanna do my job and not appeal to people lol.

I mean looking at him I can see how he’s not very flexible…
