  I don’t get why they’d be called hallucinations thought. What LM’s do is predict the next word(s). If it hasn’t trained on enough data sets, the prediction confidence will be low. Their whole output is a hallucination based on speculation. If they actually don’t know the next word order, they’ll start spewing nonsense though I guess that would only happen if they were forced to generate text indefinitely… at some point they’d cease making (human) sense.

  LMs aren’t smart, they don’t think, they’re not really AI.

  Alright, I need to move my main desktop to linux. Help me decide which distribution. Note that I already run a desktop-less server on Debian, a raspi on their flavor of deb and have a laptop I rarely use on fedora.

  My main desktop PC is on windows and I wanna switch but im not sure which distro to switch to. The thing needs to be gaming ready for 2024 hardware. Debian is too slow to update for such a use case, I dont jive with Ubuntu philosophy, Arch is… im just not that kind of guy… so Im leaning on Fedora but I kinda dont like that it has 100 updates every time I boot it up. Is there any in between? Stable and quick with updates, but not when updates can crash the thing?

  You are right. Ive looked into it and it lacks memory for what I’d want out of it. Pi4/5 would certainly work though it would no longer be the “stick” form factor.

  Ive never looked into it but how viable is a raspberry pi zero for this? I mean, is the hardware powerful enough and is there software available for easy TV use? Potentially paired with an android bluetooth remote.

  CDPR should stop hyping their games so much and just focus on making a good game. Announce and release in a 6 month window.

  Gotta break into a power plant to get that magnemite and voltorb.
