Your morning will be going worse if you click that link.

Yeah, it's unlimited for you on your phone, and they have estimates and ranges for what that amounts to for people that they use to determine pricing. But if not it's not just you and your phone, but multiple people with multiple uses, those estimates aren't sufficient.

I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion, but I kind of get this one. Unlimited data on your phone is constrained a bit because it's your phone. If you make your phone a hotspot and the whole family is using it to watch videos and stuff (and not paying for their own data plan), that's a pretty big difference to the infrastructure needs.

Agreed, it's good to have these kinds of articles so people get a better feel for what tools like this are and aren't.

AFKBRBChocolate , 3 months ago to Technology in How well can LLMs solve chess puzzles?

People thinking LLMs should be even serviceable at chess didn't understand LLMs. They really aren't problem solving applications. They're optimized for making responses to questions that look like what a response should look like, not for being accurate. That's really clear if you ask them for mathematical proofs. They will generate proofs that look like the right sort of thing, but they won't be correct unless they have the specific proof in their training data.

Understandable, though I'm not sure there's any agreement that fructose is healthier than sucrose.

AFKBRBChocolate , 4 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in That gourmet luxury blend...

Yeah, have to stay away from the "cocktails" and stick with 100% juice. On the other hand, even most of those have a lot of apple, pear, and grape juice added, which are all very, very sweet. There's more sugar in apple juice than in soda, it's just the kind of sugar that's different.

Yeah, apparently the chicken in there is a hundred percent real, even if only two percent of the product is chicken.

AFKBRBChocolate , 4 months ago to Mildly Infuriating in That gourmet luxury blend...

Pretty much the same thing as the "juice cocktails" they have in the juice isle that are fruit juice and sugar water. "Made with real fruit juice!" (like ten percent).

Got it, thanks!

AFKBRBChocolate , 4 months ago to Technology in Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled | Electrek

The way it said:

The product became ‘Basecamp’ and was released for sale shortly after Tesla revealed the production version of the truck last year. It already seemed to be a lot less attractive design at that point. Now, Tesla has started shipping, or rather installing, the Basecamp for early Cybertruck owners.

(Emphasis mine) made me think it got worse after the design changes at sale time, but maybe I misinterpreted it.

The article at least implies there were changes between the time you could buy and the time they were shipping.

AFKBRBChocolate , 4 months ago to Technology in You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on

So many of us came here from Reddit because we felt burned by them, and the whole monolithic architecture feels like it risks getting corporatized. I came to a federated place because it seems much less likely to have that happen. Not really interested in that model currently.

And not only are there a lot of crappy products with inflated scores because fake reviews, there are also a lot of good products with low scores because of fake negative reviews but competitors. The reviews are pretty much useless now.

Plus their search algorithm, which used to be amazing, now pushes so much crap because the companies pay them to be at the top that the results are horrible now.
