AI, killing all the fun from creating since 2022.

You have between 100 and 300L of fresh water in your cumulus and 10L in your toilets. If you have a bath, you can also fill it as soon as alert is raised and have enough water for days. Yes, it's not the perfectly clean tap water, but it's emergency situation. And you have an immune system for this.

Unless you go on treck or on country with suspicious water, don't bother with purifying tablets. You'll have to throw them away and replace every 2 years. They also give some unpleasant taste to water.

Same in France. We don't have oil but we have strikes.

One to one with HR. I'm not paraphrasing, she litterally said that: "You are a really good performer, we really want to keep you but we won't do anything to do so".

You know you are missing the only fun part of having a baby ?

Anyway, fuck AI.

Yet another package manager...

apt for life !

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Never forget that deep inside LLM training data, their is all the tweet history of pussyslayer69.

BitNet sucks:

GPT started answered correctly since around gpt3.5. But smaller LLM generally responds rabbit eggs are around 5 to 8 cm and are smaller than cows one 🤣

Yeah, they are generally bought by English retired.

To test level of stupidity of AI chat bots, I ask them the size of a rabbit egg, and if it is bigger or smaller that a cow eggs.

I'm working with RealWear. Not really an AR glass, but interesting experience anyway.

There is no headache or nausea at all. That's the main point compared to immersive VR. You see the real world, so the brain is not disturbed by screen latency. I once kept it on the head 7 hour a day, 5 days in a row and did't felt any disconfort. Whereas I cannot keep a VR headset for more than 15min.

My company have an R&D lab in California with any kind of VR and AR devices, but I'm in France 😟.

My 2 cents.

In the early 2ks, computer were ugly grey box with noisy fan and a hard drive that gave the impression a cockroach colony were trying to escape your case. I wanted to build a silent computer to watch Divx movies from my bed, but as a broke teen, I just had access to disposed hardwares I could find there and there.

I dismantled a power supply, stuck mosfets to big mother fucking dissipator, and I had a silent power supply. I put another huge industrial dissipator on CPU (think it was an AMD k6 500Mhz) and had fanless cooling. Remained the hard drive.

Live CD/USB weren't common at that time. I've discovered a live CD distrib (I think it was Knoppix) that could run entirely from RAM.

I removed hard drive, boot on live distrib, then replace CD by my Divx and voila.

Having a fanless-harddriveless computer was pure science fiction for me and my friends at that time.

Meshroom is FOSS, relatively easy to use and works out of the box. It is industrial quality and is widely used in cinema and untertainment industry. So, I think it's the go to if you want something robust and usable.

NVidia provide several reasearch software to do Radiance Field stuff on their github: https://github.com/NVlabs. They gives impressive results, but none of them is user friendly. It's reasearch stuff.

I gave a try to ollama.nvim, but I'm not conviced (not by the plugin, but by using LLM directly in IDE). Because of security reasons, I cannot send code to public LLMs, so I have to either use my company's internal LLM (GPT4o), but which just have a front end, no API. Either I have to use local LLM through ollama for ex.

I tried several models, but they are to slow or too dumb. In the end, when I need help, I copy/past code into LLM portal front end.

Definition of words depend on the context. They are model to express ideas and have a common understanding of things. A bit like Newtonian model explain why planete orbit around the sun (Until mercury drift comes into play).

If we were on the context of neurological conference or medical comitte, I would completly agree with you. But we are on Internet, on Lemmy, and on a post that don't even aimed to talk about mental disorder. Stating this, when talking about illness in this context, one refer to high level definition of illness that you'll first find in the dictionary. According to Oxford dictionary: "a condition in which the body or mind is harmed because an organ or part is unable to work as it usually does; a disease or sickness"

I hope you would agree that, taking only this definition, Autism, at least more extrem cases, respect this definiton.

Adding precision can be usefull, but you're then changing context. Let's take an analogy.

My daugther asked me yesterday why the sun rise on a side and fall on the other side of the horizon. I told here it's because sun rotate around the earth. This explanation is enough to answer the question, and is in the context of talking to a 5 year old girl. There is no need to explain that earth actually rotate on itself and around the sun, and that rotate around galaxy. There is no need to detail about Newtonian mecanic, nor general relativity in this context. This would just add noise to the discussion. The geocentric model is true in this context.

Another analogy. I'm talking about multiplication, and affirm that ab = ba. In this context, without precision, everyone agree with this. But, strickly speaking, multiplication being a binary operation acting inside a group, it's not always commutative. Typically, matrix multiplication is not commutative. So, ab = ba in the context of algebric structure is false.

As a matematician, there would be no reasons to feel ofended or to claim that ab=ba is false when commenting post talking about, let say, carpentry. You can precise that, when digging into the details, there are cases when ab != ba, to open another discussion, but claiming that ab != ba, in the context of carpentry, is just... wrong.

Worst than that, it generate conflicts. You claim that someone is wrong without arguing, or explaining your own context. Going to the extreme, I'm quite conviced this kind of behavior fuel intolerance, up to the point of having a a retarded redhead elected (I think this will become the new godwin point). Most of people have nothing against Autism, LGBTQRST+, or whatever minorities. But being constantly corrected that "there is no 2 gender", "autism is not a decease", "the terms master or blacklist are ofending because it refer to slavery", etc... just becomes unbearable and makes people fall into intolerance. Not because they have something against the minory itself, but because they feel attacked.

My 2 cents.

Make a computer for kids by installing PrimTux or other kid oriented distro.

I think I've spot the autistic guy.

Depend on the level. It's a spectrum, but at some point it do become a illness.
