  • Part of the problem with talking about these things in a casual setting is that nobody is using precise enough terminology to approach the issue so others can actually parse specifically what they’re trying to say.

    Personally, saying the AI “knows” something implies a level of cognizance which I don’t think it possesses. LLMs “know” things the way an excel sheet can.

    Obviously, if we’re instead saying the AI “knows” things due to it being able to frequently produce factual information when prompted, then yeah it knows a lot of stuff.

    I always have the same feeling when people try to talk about aphantasia or having/not having an internal monologue.





  • I love Vivaldi but it definitely chugs with the stupid amount of hibernated tabs I’ve got. The new sessions thing helped alleviate that a bit since I can save a window state and close it but I definitely run into some kind of memory leak with it. (I have had like 1k+ hibernated tabs open, so not entirely unexpected that it runs into issues but I’d still think if they’re hibernated they should just be stubbed out tabs in memory until clicking one turns it into a full browser process. Idk)










  • It’s tragic really, I actually quite like everything apart from the script. I knew from the get that they would have to cut a lot of stuff and merge some books - which to be honest is fine, plenty of stuff that doesn’t need to go in - but I don’t understand their need to manufacture melodrama. It feels like every episode nothing happens but we’re still flying through the plot.

    Just a complete failure to match the tone/cadence of the books. So much time should be spent traveling and exploring the world, but the show chooses to sit around and have overdramatic unexplained scenes that won’t make any sense to someone who hasn’t read the books. I’m still not sure who the target audience is.
