The Ramen Dutchman

Loomer is not a very credible source…

Also, you could’ve been much nicer about this. There was no need for you to insult people over this.

I would say it’s a good example of a bad use-case for an LLM; you don’t have sources, and you can’t fact-check anything. Those two are absolutely vital requirements when claiming something as true.

Aside from that, most generative AI have been trained on vast amounts of data that was never allowed to go into the dataset; copyrighted/IP-righted paintings, articles, comics, and novels have been included against the wishes of the artists/authors. The fact that nothing is being done on a legal system level shows that copyright and IP rights clearly do not apply to American oligarchs, and many of us don’t like that. Most generative AIs also need an absurd amount of power to run and hurt the environment a lot. It sucks to separate paper and plastic waste just to know that there are people blasting through an hour worth of airconditioning just to ask a computer something they could’ve looked up instead (and found sources, too!)

I say this as someone who loves using AI and experimenting with it¹: This was a very bad use-case of generative AI.

¹: although lighter ones and locally like Mistral, using open datasets like OpenOrca

I do think they couldn’t catch the killer, and they needed a scapegoat just to make an example out of someone.

No need to track down your scapegoat; especially not when you just found someone’s cringy but fitting manifesto online.

Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.

The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.

Hold up, there are third-party SIM card expansions‽

I don’t have a Framework laptop (yet) but once I’ve got the money together I really want one!

we dont have the K, just the regular

Ah, my bad (^^;
I ran an i7-4790K in my gaming PC for a long time, as far as games go this 10-year old CPU still hold up well, never had to upgrade it surprisingly enough!

Still, a 4 GHz quad-core with hyper-threading, and about 8 GiB of RAM, is more than enough to run Windows 10.
Assuming these are for studying, the heavier workloads would consist of MS Word, Powerpoint and an instructional video in the webbrowser, no?
What required tasks were too heavy for these computers under Windows 8/10?
And do they run off SSDs, or spinning HDDs?

Ah ja, in Dutch that would be “zeven”.

Maybe some people touch lips when saying the “F”, in that case we would fail at “vijf” (fünf)

Little side note

those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task

The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.

You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.

Huh. Same in Dutch!

You just went from having to be immoral when you’re poor to being poor being righteous?

Please make up your mind.

I read “The rich have that opinion.” at first and that somehow fits just as well.

It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.

That’s a purely Atomic thing, isn’t it?

Well darn, can’t argue with that!

Funny for once, but highly inefficient. Hexagons remain bestagons.

There are ten digits in our numeral system, and the thumb is neither a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

Yeah, I believe your edit.

Unless someone ticked the “encrypt storage”-box in the installer, you don’t even have to pay for Pro to use it!

Okay you know what? Fair.
