To anyone who interacts with it? Would you deny that a program automate mental labor in the same way that a sawmill automates manual labor? Isn’t that some degree of intelligence?

Now, we have very imperfect LLMs who nevertheless can be instructed not with program code, but actual natural language, and they react accordingly. Isn’t that also intelligence? Computers that understood natural language was the realm of science fiction just five years ago.

I get it that people hate LLMs, both because how idiots use them, and how corporations push them everywhere; but not recognizing the intelligence in those programs is naive at best.

It is evident that it has intelligence, it outputs intelligent responses usually adequate to its input, even if it’s badly phrased. What it doesn’t have is sentience, conscience, and a learning loop.

Crazy how USA seems unable to keep up, and it appears its best chance of maintaining hegemony is bringing China down, not improving itself. Never expected to see this shift in my lifetime.

They do, and I experimented with both, but wasn’t able to get better performance from Jellyfin compared to Plex. Always running on the same hardware. Still run both though, just in case.

Especially on non-GPU systems, Jellyfin is slower at transcoding than Plex. I don’t know the internals, but I have both running in the sam machine, and Plex is always noticeably more responsive. Not by a huge margin, but still it is.

XBMBC (later Kodi) gang present!

The main official strategy against organized crime has been “let them be”, and unofficially “let’s pimp them”.

As a Mexican, I’m very worried with the brazenness of the Cheeto, but OTOH I’m happy he’s forcing the government to change his ruinous strategy. For us common citizens the situation has become intolerable. We didn’t use to live like this.

You mean you ran Ubuntu Server and found it slow?! That’s amazing, specially back then. Truly a potato.

On a potato you were supposed to use Xubuntu or Lubuntu, not Gnome.

Its company property, you don’t go putting stickers on company printers or the walls of your office.

And it’s not about resale value, it’s about corporate and professional image. We’re free to destructively mod our personal equipments, but not those of others.

I believe the 3D chatbot will have more emotions.

Recently spent almost four hours waiting for Windows Update on a brand-new PC. It wasn’t even apparent how long it would take, just kept grinding, rebooting, and grinding again.

For a three-decade OS that many bright programmers have worked on, Windows update sucks royally.

My brain made a tiny satisfaction reaction after learning about this.

That was very, very likely what the parent comment meant. The correction was unnecessary.

That’s because swamp-ass cat was rejected.

If mods know what their rules mean, they could describe them more clearly so it doesn’t become a philosophical debate.

For example, “Zero politics allowed”, or “No politics without science as the main theme”.

Send that medical aid boat to USA, they need the help more.

It doesn’t mean “never improve”, though.

Right. Super Bowl is about money, and right now Bad Bunny means more money. It’s not a protest, and Trump acting displeased is not because he was caught off-guard, he’s doing what his base is expecting of him.

All this likely was negotiated behind curtains weeks before, and Trump was surely well informed by his team. Just another performance that maximizes profit.

Since I saw that primates have a sense of humor, things like this don’t surprise me as much, because it’s not like they’re similar to us, it’s that we are very similar to them. It’s natural to share many traits.
