  Did you miss that open ai released the oss model few days prior to gpt5?

  Larger model: huggingface.co/openai/gpt-oss-120b Smaller model: huggingface.co/openai/gpt-oss-20b

  They seem to be quite good

  Using a bad translation/transcript as base for professional translator is still better than nothing. Like I said, translators are still going to be needed, but lots of the heavy manual work can be now automated.

  Also often when very domain specific language is used, the translation made by human can be bad, because they don’t know the proper terms. Of course good professional translators will ask these. It is also something that must be done with these dummy LLM models, you cannot just throw text into it and expect good results.

  No no, he announced that we will be on Mars at 2022 originally. He is now promising 2030. He is vaporware sales man where future is always next year.

  That is probably true in many case, buy to be fair there are some jobs that have had huge impacts due to LLM’s, like translation.

  These jobs have been changing quite a lot before this AI bubble mainly because advances in speech-to-text, but I see the LLM’s as final step. The translator need doesn’t fully disappear, but the workflow changes quite drastically and some labor heavy parts are going away.

  Both can be true! (Being siblings and cousins at the same time, requires bit of inbreeding ofc)

  Ah, just <table> layout, not this <div> css nonsense. Having rounded corners as images on a table, perfection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Calling these new LLM’s just if statements is quite a over simplification. These are technically something that has not existed before, they do enable use cases that previously were impossible to implement.

  This is far from General Intelligence, but there are solutions now to few coding issues that were near impossible 5 years ago

  5 years ago I would have laughed in your face if you came to suggest that can you code a code that summarizes this description that was inputed by user.

  EV6 is probably the best in tech, like the 800V system.

  Have you had the issue with iccu? They are unfortunately quite common, friend of mine had it. They will fully fix it, but it takes up to month to fix because they don’t have spare parts.

  I have Seat Mii, and I also think it is best car purchase that I have ever made

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All those are unfortunately so expensive here that I can only dream

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only heard good things about them, but aren’t they few generation’s old no w. Not that next gen is always better, but EV’s have gone quite big generational steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I currently drive Seat Mii, which is good small EV for city, but for long ranges VW and BMW are behind. Audi’s EV have been disasters. Cupras look good, but because I already have small EV, it doesn’t fit my use case

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently only proper options for EV is either Tesla, Korean EV’s (KIA, Hyundai) or Chinese. European and japanese EV’s are imo shit at the moment. Teslas I will avoid like plague, due to Nazis. KIA’s and Hyundai’s are so hard to get, so I am really considering getting BYD, Polestar or XPeng.

  I don’t think this is particularly AI issue, more like corporate greed issue. Some company have fooled her to write contract that allows them to use her audio recordings to do this without her. This happens in many different industries.

  If you generate CEO through this service, there is info button that states: “Does not actually use AI, powered by the souls of interns.” So this is probably ethical enough to replace the CEO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding little bit extra context here.

  In Finland large number of homes are heated by district heating. This means there is heat plant or combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which heats water to around 70C - 110C (158F - 230F) and that is distributed to homes.

  In this system heat batteries are useful, and near all CHP plants in Finland have done heat battery in last few years. These heat batteries are just 7-store high insulated water storage. Usefulness to store just water is that system is relatively simple. Water in - water out. This makes it that the turbine in CHP can be run more freely towards electricity price, not the network heat demand.

  Plain heat plants generally don’t yet have these, because the buffer created by heat battery is not that much needed. But if these sand batteries can store heat longer, and because they might be cheaper to build, it can make sense.

  Source: I work in company that owns 19 district heating networks.

  You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trains in Nordic have been electric for a generation, starting from 60’s.

  Busses have been electric in my knowledge about 10 years, I think most of them are ran by electric motor, which is charged with diesel if batteries run out.

  Trams have been electric for last 100 years.
