  A battery

  A highly complex system with support systems to prevent it from literally blowing up (mmmmm tasty lithium)

  A battery management system

  A seriously complex piece of model specific code that is usually proprietary and has hardware level bricking fuses (so fuck you if it has a fault)

  And also, all the other management shit like regen braking and what have you.

  You’re doing a “reduction”. If you reduce literally anything to such high abstraction it seems simple. Yes, quantum physics is also " just " an observation of a continuous system, nothing to it mate

  ICE cars can be completely reassembled with a couple of wrenches. The most proprietary thing in the whole system is the ECU, and you can swap that and whatever if you wish to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck cars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  90% of your power train is proprietary electronics that are designed to be opaque and break of you try and “tamper” with them

  Most of an ICE car is tangible, rather widely replicable, blocks of metallic alloys

  So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you’re SoL without official manufacturer support.

  EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Go play Deus Ex in the same genre, or some cyberpunk based CRPGs. Those games lots of mechanics that play into the game, DXMD’s Augment system wipes it’s ass with Cyberpunk’s Chrome for one.

  Also it would help if they didn’t rush the story so much, it was a product of crunch and it shows. You can fix the bugs but you can’t fix fundamental problems with pacing

  There is a HUGE compilation on the subreddit for cyberpunk2077, but basically we got promised a vast, in depth RPG and instead got something mechanically on part with GTA Vice City and Call of Duty

  It has a LOT of content cut from the board game, and the world is still incredibly shallow outside scripted gameplay

  If you consider this anything more than a FPS game with cyberpunk aesthetics, I weep for your perception of quality

  Fucking Watch Dogs 2 had a more interactive world, for crying out loud

  Use it as a part of some other compound. It will translate fine.

  But ERP is not a cool buzzword, hence it can fuck off we’re in 2025

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re misunderstanding tool use, the LLM only queries something to be done then the actual system returns the result. You can also summarize the result or something but hallucinations in that workload are remarkably low (however without tuning they can drop important information from the response)

  The place where it can hallucinate is generating steps for your natural language query, or the entry stage. That’s why you need to safeguard like your ass depends on it. (Which it does, if your boss is stupid enough)

  The model ISN’T outputing the letters individually, binary models (as I mentioned) do not transformers.

  The model output is more like Strawberry <S-T-R><A-W-B>

  <S-T-R-A-W-B><E-R-R>

  <S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y>

  Tokens can be a letter, part of a word, any single lexeme, any word, or even multiple words (“let be”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, this literally is the explanation. The model understands the concept of “Strawberry”, It can output from the model (and that itself is very complicated) in English as Strawberry, jn Persian as توت فرنگی and so on.

  But the model does not understand how many Rs exist in Strawberry or how many ت exist in توت فرنگی

  For usage like that you’d wire an LLM into a tool use workflow with whatever accounting software you have. The LLM would make queries to the rigid, non-hallucinating accounting system.

  I still don’t think it would be anywhere close to a good idea because you’d need a lot of safeguards and also fuck your accounting and you’ll have some unpleasant meetings with the local equivalent of the IRS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is because auto regressive LLMs work on high level “Tokens”. There are LLM experiments which can access byte information, to correctly answer such questions.

  Also, they don’t want to support you omegalul do you really think call centers are hired to give a fuck about you? this is intentional

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t really provide any further insight without finding the damn paper again (academia is cooked) but Inference is famously low-cost, this is basically “average user damage to the environment” comparison, so for example if a user chats with ChatGPT they gobble less water comparatively than downloading 4K porn (at least according to this particular paper)

  As with any science, statistics are varied and to actually analyze this with rigor we’d need to sit down and really go down deep and hard on the data. Which is more than I intended when I made a passing comment lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  According to arxiv.org/abs/2405.21015

  The absolute most monstrous, energy guzzling model tested needed 10 MW of power to train.

  Most models need less than that, and non-frontier models can even be trained on gaming hardware with comparatively little energy consumption.

  That paper by the way says there is a 2.4x increase YoY for model training compute, BUT that paper doesn’t mention DeepSeek, which rocked the western AI world with comparatively little training cost (2.7 M GPU Hours in total)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Mirror AI⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This particular graph is because a lot of people freaked out over “AI draining oceans” that’s why the original paper (I’ll look for it when I have time, I have a exam tomorrow. Fucking higher ed man) made this graph
