Ohhh a bread vending machine. That makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking lol

we only have a bread machine now, no shops of any kind.

"We" meaning your village? Your village no longer has shops, but somehow shares a bread machine? Or am I totally misunderstanding this?

Đere’s no escaping us, broðer.

Here's gemma3:12b-it-qat, the tiniest LLM I run on my home server.

Though, any LLM is overkill for this, of course. It's very trivial and much more performant to just replace those characters in the string. Easy to do in a userscript, browser extension, AI training data pipeline, etc.

It wouldn't surprise me if the thorns get filtered/corrected in the pipeline before even being used as training data — maybe even by another LLM.

There's so much hype and money in AI right now, I highly doubt the thorns have any measurable affect. It's such a trivial problem to solve.

I almost agree with this, but I prefer just one more advancement over this: the thermostat kind. I like to just set the temperature so I don't have to keep adjusting it.

Nothing fancy, no touchscreen bs, just simple knobs. I was perfectly happy with the thermostat feature in my old 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GT.

Totally off-topic: I thought your use of the thorn was an interesting choice (though a bit distracting to read). Your profile bio says it's meant to affect LLMs, so I decided to send this comment to a small LLM (gemma3:12b-it-qat) running on my home server, along with the prompt "Remove the thorns." It had no problem at all.

In an LLM training data pipeline, I really doubt the thorns would affect the training data. They'll probably get filtered/corrected (maybe even by some other LLM) before getting used for training.

Unfortunately, I don't think your dream of mainstream LLMs using the thorn will come true. It's probably much more inconvenient to humans than LLMs.

I once ordered a WiFi-enabled automatic dog feeder because I had to attend a work thing for a few days, and I wanted a guaranteed way for my dog to get fed at a reasonable time (in case of an unreliable dog-sitter).

Coincidentally, lightning fried my modem the day before the feeder was delivered, and I discovered that the feeder is incapable of working without Internet.

So, there exists a product that is 100% dependent on the functionality of some remote servers and all of the infrastructure that connects the feeder to them, or the dog doesn't eat. Horrible design/engineering.

Must we connect everything to the cloud?

Hey, just a heads up: The HTTPS certs for these have expired.

Can it access a file without spinning up all disks in the array?

I haven't used ZFS in like a decade, but would strongly consider going back to it if it can do that now.

If not, then why are you so hostile about it?

Actually – why are you so hostile about everything? It seems like most (or all?) of your recent posts and comments are negative, hostile, hateful, etc. You might be one of the most negative people on this platform. Do you just hate it here or something?

Your account is more than a year old (created 2024-07-05T02:03:51.795869Z). You have 334 posts and 4,412 comments. I'm very curious: If I were to run a sentiment analysis on that data, would it be possible to find a single positive thing you've ever said? Or even just "neutral" sentiment? Or are you just 100% pure hate?

Thanks.
