- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 1 day ago:
There was a study done several months ago. I’ll try to find the source again and link it here in a comment edit.

Generative AI has an average error rate of 9-13%. Nobody should trust it wholesale and what it spits out.
It has some excellent use cases. Vibe code/sysadmin/netadmin’ing are not one of those things.

As someone who works in network engineering support and has seen Claude completely fuck up people’s networks with bad advice: LOL.
Literally had an idiot just copying and pasting commands from Claude into their equipment and brought down a network of over 1000 people the other day.
It hallucinated entire executables that didn’t exist. It asked them to create init scripts for services that already had one. It told them to bypass the software UI, that had the functionality they needed, and start adding routes directly to the system kernel.
Every LLM is the same bullshit guessing machine.

- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
I set mine up with HAProxy for TLS offloading and ACME for the server cert. Restrict your access to just your country/region by GeoIP and you are pretty good to go.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s the annoying thing. Generative AI is actually really useful…in SPECIFIC situations. Discovering new battery tech, new medicines, etc. are all good use cases because it’s basically a parrot and blender combined and most of these things are rehashes if existing technologies in new and novel ways.
It is not a fucking good solution for a search engine replacement to ask “Why do farts smell?”. It uses way too much energy for that and it hallucinates bullshit.

Microsoft: “What was that? You want CoPilot integrated so it can search through your files for data mining…I mean helping you find stuff?”
- Comment on Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down 1 week ago:
Until Plebbit fixes how god awful slow it is, I won’t be interested in it. Lemmy is decentralized enough for me.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 1 week ago:
Congrats. You just burned down 4 trees in the rainforest for every article you had an LLM analyze.
LLMs can be incredibly useful, but everybody forgets how much of an environmental nightmare this shit is.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 1 week ago:
What the headline doesn’t say: It tested nearly double as slow as Windows 10’s File Explorer with this RAM usage increase.
Windows is getting worse. No better.

Why would a USB accessory need PoE?
Zigbee 4 support lacking in it is disappointing.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I know speculation is fun, but until we know the price officially, all of this is moot. Wait until next year when they announce actual pricing and judge it then for its value.
I, personally, don’t think it’ll be a successful product if it isn’t less than $800. They don’t have to have it cost console prices, but it does need to be at least somewhat within spitting distance. If the price is the cost of an Xbox or Playstation plus, say…a year of their online service subscription, I think that could be marketable.
If it’s closer to a grand, it’ll be a flop like the first Steam Machines.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 3 weeks ago:
I don’t understand the obsession with presenting the terminal as “the best way”. There are literally app stores on every Linux distro for normies to use. Installing LibreOffice from Flatpak in Discover is literally “Search” and “Click Install”.
For those of us who love using the terminal…sure…but that’s not most people.

I suppose, but I’m skeptical of car manufacturer claims, too, until independent testing is done.
I hope this is real and think it’s awesome, but will wait to see if they exaggerated.
