  Seriously, do not use LLMs as a source of authority. They are stochistic machines predicting the next character they type; if what they say is true, it’s pure chance.

  Use them to draft outlines. Use them to summarize meeting notes (and review the summaries). But do not trust them to give you reliable information. You may as well go to a party, find the person who’s taken the most acid, and ask them for an answer.

    yeah, that’s why I’m here, dude.

      So then, if you knew this, why did you bother to ask it first?

    Acid freaks are probably more reliable than chat gpt

      You’ll certainly gain some valuable insight, even if it has nothing to do with your question. Which is more than I can say for LLMs.

    I’d say those SMART attributes look pretty bad… Don’t need an LLM for that…

    I call them regurgitation machines prone to hallucinations.

      That is a perfect description.

    Just a reminder that LLMS can only truncate text, they are incapable of summarization.

    First sentence of each paragraph: correct.

    Basically all the rest is bunk besides the fact that you can’t count on always getting reliable information. Right answers (especially for something that is technical but non-verifiable), wrong reasons.

    There are “stochastic language models” I suppose (e.g., click the middle suggestion from your phone after typing the first word to create a message), but something like chatgpt or perplexity or deepseek are not that, beyond using tokenization / word2vect-like setups to make human readable text. These are a lot more like “don’t trust everything you read on Wikipedia” than a randomized acid drop response.

  Pro Tip: Never quote ChatGPT. Use it to find the real source of info and then quote that.

    Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.

      I was quite impressed by how it looks and the free option ! However, seeing Google tag manager and tiktok analytics domains and I’m already out !

    Never use ChatGPT anyway. There are better (for privacy) alternatives.

  Yes, definitely.

  Seagate’s error rate values (IDs 1, 7, and 195) are busted. Not in that they’re wrong or anything, but that they’re misleading to people who don’t know exactly how to read them.

  ALL of those are actually reporting zero errors. This calculator can confirm it for you, but s.i.wtf

  It is likely that GSmartControl is simply reading either the normalized or raw values, seeing a non-100/non-0 value respectively, and reporting that as an error.

    Already packed. I am also having trouble copying files due to issues with the file name (6 characters, nothing fancy). And it makes a ticking sound once in a while. I’m done with it.

  Inside the nominal return period for a device absolutely.

  If it’s a warranty repair I’ll wait for an actual trend, maybe run a burning on it and force its hand.

  SMART data can be hard to read. But it doesn’t look like any of the normalized values are approaching the failure thresholds. It doesn’t show any bad sectors. But it does show read errors.

  I would check the cable first, make sure it’s securely connected. You said it clicks sometimes, but that could be normal. Check the kernel log/dmesg for errors. Keep an eye on the SMART values to see if they’re trending towards the failure thresholds.
