I usually see things through, to the end, but in this case I gave up quite early. Still, decided to publish the process (and the very few findings, if any): https://io.bikegremlin.com/32987/my-llm-ai-experiement-and-why-i-shut-it-down/ It felt hol…

(Quote) I will make more articles and videos on this topic - and why I am convinced it would be a futile endeavour (not 100% sure about that spelling LOL).
-
(Quote) Thanks. Note that I still have the platforms: * WordPress websites for articles (bikegremlin.com and subdomains per topic). * YouTube for videos (and Rumble as a backup video storage if YouTube deletes me for whatever reason). * XenForo fo…

(Quote) Everything has its pros and its cons. It might turn out to be a net zero or even a net positive. Not highly likely, but not impossible. Either way, it should at least leave some room for other fun stuff... :) https://www.youtube.com/watc…

(Quote) That is a good question. I think that idle time is very important for creativity (and health for that matter - not just for VPSs LOL :) ). So I am not worried about focusing on anything if nothing catches my focus. In fact, I am activelly …

(Quote) Thinking aloud: In my country they often come up with some very wacky proposal. Then, they make a "reasonable compromise" - and that compromise is what they had intended to do in the first place, but it would have been harder to pu…

Move to California! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-aK6JnyFmk

(Quote) I fear you (and most people in general) are underestimating the impact this will make. And I hope to be very wrong about that. Edit: Of course, it can be used for the good of humanity, to take on the boring menail tasks - as can most machi…

(Quote) That was brutal - LOL. :) I've had (the paid) ChatGPT go full retard with basic maths. And a bit silly with simple PHP and CSS. DeepSeek seems better for "coding", but haven't tested it yet with maths. Example for the latter - I…

(Quote) Thanks - that prompt turned out more useful than expected. Here’s what came out of it: https://blog.bikegremlin.com/2361/self-debugging-session/ :)

I don't know about those westerners (LOL :) ) but when I look at my city: More and more air condition units are being installed. That drastically increases the max-load and average consumption during the warmer part of the year (when consumption us…

(Quote) ...Violently shaking in wrench! :) Edit: To be fair, I do abuse the good robot every now and than, not something that's beyond me: https://www.bikegremlin.net/threads/using-python-with-the-pillow-library-via-chatgpt-to-make-cover-images.50…

(Quote) Fair point about politics - so I won't go further into the other nonsense you wrote.
-
(Quote) GDPR is about controlling EU population (and their data), not about protecting the privacy. That's what it boils down to, in practice. Oh, and it also makes it harder for the non-rich to implement compliance (raising costs, and making money…
-
(Quote) Let us not get into politics - if possible. Also: never compare yourself to the worst, strive for the best (students protesting against dictatorship in my country for almost 6 months, but digging cheap lithium is more important than freedom…

(Quote) It's also fair to note that Cloudflare has been not very good over the past year or so on the free package. Poor routing with frequent short timeouts, no less!?! Sure, what they charge $20 per month, per domain, is not too much for what the…

Obsidian should be good for formatting Markdown tables (intuitive, mouse-drag row and column expansion!). Copy paste did something silly (some English pRon): (Image) Another go - had to select a row above and a row below the table in Obsidian fo…

(Quote) An important difference is that Kofer (LOL) plans don't add/stack up. pCloud and Filen plans do AFAIK.
-
(Quote) The plus side is that they do provide the stats publicly so you can see the outage frequency (still early to 100% confirm that though).
-
Filen.io had their entire network down for a while on Sunday (4 days ago). It took over 30 minutes for that to be shown on their status page, a few hours to get it fixed, and still no report of how and what happened: https://status.filen.io/inciden…

(Quote) Lifetime deals can be OK with some limits and consideration. My longer writeup on that topic: https://io.bikegremlin.com/25228/lifetime-offers-worth-buying/ (section 1 defines it, section 2 is where I discuss the realistic expectations) I'…
-
(Quote) I agree - the regular prices, just like pCloud for that matter, are too high. Black Friday discount prices at 50+ % off do make more sense.

(Quote) It's what it's for!
-
(Quote) Done.

(Quote) If your SSD is of a high quality, it will sustain higher speeds for longer (and have the SATA lane be the limiting factor). Also, the newer SSDs that use PCIe can sustain much higher speeds for a long time - especially if you provide good co…
-
(Quote) Yeah, there is a limit of SATA connection for those 2.5" SSDs, so sustained transfer of large amounts of data is limited. For general use (lots of random reads, mostly), they are still a lot faster than HDDs.
