How racist dumbfucked are you, colonizer? Why would anyone want or need to sacrifice their own money and territory to help racist European invaders finish their ethnic cleansing project of a land they are no more from than white colonizers were from the Americas, Africa or Australia?

You dumb racist fuck.

Are you joking?

Are YOU? Nazi Israel does not dispute Hamas numbers. And why the dumbfuckery in ignoring that's only those positively identified, given the fact Gaza has been hit with the equivilant of six atomic bombs.

Joe Random Jerkwad ignoring the fact Nazi Israel vowed to cut off all food and water from day one, that Nazi Israel has bombed every last medical facility, that during the entirely peaceful March of Return in 2018 that Nazi Zionists would snipe pregnant woman. Then parade around with "one bullet two shots" tshirts.

You Nazi cow.

For me, the game I cannot play is Rust. Yes you can run it just fine, and yes there are maybe a couple of servers you can play on, and they have anticheat disabled. There are popular anticheat systems which work on Linux, EAC being one of them, and I've got a lot of games with online components and anticheat which do work very well. I was surprised by the percentage of my various game libraries* which could be easily installed via Lutris and work just fine. Most of them have very good performance as well.

A handful of Steam games don't run and more don't run well without Proton-GE, but a lot of games work without any addons at all. And speaking of addons, they are mostly easy to manage using steamtinkerlaunch, which supports both Vortex and MO2. There are definitely game mods which don't work well with Wine or Proton, mostly ones which have very specific runtime requirements. Some of those don't run well even with the runtimes installed with wine/protontricks.

* For a while there, Humble Bundles were awesome, and a lot of those games were on services which I never would have otherwise patronized.

Could the model not be trained to be nearly deterministic in it's outputs?

No. The technology doesn't do that. Instead of whatever ineffable process we use to correlate things in ways that make sense, it only and solely correlates things in ways which look like they make sense. You cannot train your way out of this problem, an entirely new technology is needed. Maybe to replace this, maybe only to augment it, but still fundamentally different.

Now?
Idevices have always been limited compared to their competition, deliberately so.

Yes, now is part of always. Why is this even part of the discussion?

However they're starting to need that artificial limitation more than ever as they kill OSX without wanting to kill the cash cow that is the Mac user, so your IDevice will be deliberately hobbled so they can sell you a slightly less hobbled Mac labelled IDevice for more money than it's worth.

Starting to? This is how it's always worked.

Are you stuck in a time loop or something? That might explain your confusion over these words...

We've gotten very wrapped up in the philosophical discussion of whether AI models are "thinking." But most people don't actually care whether we've reached some abstract achievement of creating "thought." Most people just care if the tool can do the job.

The tool can't do the job because it's not thinking, which is why people keep bringing that up. Think about it before complaining!

The best value an LLM provide, imho, is that they will like know more of the subject matter than you do.

They are stuffed with statistics about more of the subject matter than you're familiar with, which is not the same thing as knowing. Even if you trained them only and exclusively on correct information presented logically, they would still hallucinate bullshit that looks as statistically likely as factual information.

I suspect when the bubble bursts and dust settles, we'll end up with a kind of interactive encyclopedia as as useable form factor for LLMs.

An LLM could be a guide to a real encyclopedia with actual facts, but if you trained it on the encyclopedia instead of having it citing it, it would still hallucinate horseshit.
