I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that’s really the biggest reason anyone will have.

2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don’t know if that’s true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

3. it’s just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I’ve learned a lot about how the whole process works and that’s more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

Couple things

1. Start applying for things you’re not sure and you know you aren’t qualified for. Often recruiters or HR people don’t actually know what the fuck the job needs and just sorta copies similar job titles recs. Once you’re able to talk to the actual hiring manager, then you can see if you’re a good culture fit and if they can give you some on the job training.

2. Get a job at something not really what you wanna do but feels related enough. For me, my big break into my career was working at a call center for a hospital. It was not IT related, but it got me office experience that I spun into IT experience.

They didn’t say they’re poorly dressed. Just ugly

I hate that this isn’t “New Info”

I am glad that Reuters is reminding people of this fact.

Got any recs? I can generally talk my company into paying for most anything education wise, but Udemy style courses work with my ADHD the best.

Thanks! I’m still on reddit brain.

Yes! Gods damn it. I had that up an everything on my second monitor.

The best punishment is undoing their damage and teaching their sins to future generations as a warning.

And using their Graves as a gender neutral bathroom when we wanna scratch the sadistic justice itch

Beautiful redundancy. My one true love

I haven’t had a prime sub in 5 years. It’s not been worth it in a while.

What good is the convenience of having everything on the same website if I have to determine if it’s fake or not?
