LMs give the appearance of understanding, but as soon as you try to use them for anything that you actually are knowledgable in, the facade crumbles.
Even for repetitive tasks, you have to do a lot of manual checking to ensure they did not start hallucinating half way through.
I am using both and this somehow made it to my phone, wtaf
FWIW, Lidarr works the worst out of the arr stack for me too. I don't know if there's just not enough well indexed material in my sources or what, but yeah, not great.
If your entire experience with the arr stack has been Lidarr so far, give it another shot! Sonarr and Radarr work absolutely perfectly. It's just such a nice feeling to open Jellyfin (or I guess Plex) on the TV and go "oh nice new episode is out!"
Might even be worth checking if https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware has a straight-up fix for the issue.
I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it's literally all conspiracy theories, but that's not true, there's also some "sponsored" posts AKA ads sprinkled in.
What a sad joke.
If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same "free speech" benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.
Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that's probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim "we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!" does make a great dogwhistle for "you can be a terrible human on here, don't worry"
Yeah. Everytime I'm for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,...
But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.
Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅
Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.
Don't get me wrong, that's also janky, but it's my ~~fault~~ jank.
I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were... seedy.
Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it's worth it for German language audio IMO.
Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.
I have not had a failed download yet.
I'm a programmer as well. When ChatGPT & Co initially came out, I was pretty excited tbh and attempted to integrate it into my workflow, which kinda worked-ish? But was also a lot of me being amazed by the novelty, and forgiving of the shortcomings.
Did not take me long to phase them out again though. (And no, it's not the models I used; I have tried again now and then with the new, supposedly perfect-for-programming models, same results). The only edgecase where they are generally useful (to me at least) are simple tasks that I have some general knowledge of (to double theck the LM's work) but not have any interest in learning anything further than I already know. Which does occur here and there, but rarely.
For everything else programming-related, it's flat out shit.I do not beleive they are a time saver for even moderately difficult programs. Bu the time you've run around in enough circles, explaining "now, this does not do what you say it does", "that's the same wring answer you gave me two responses ago", "you have hallucinated that function", and found out the framework in use dropped that general structure in version 5, you may as well do it yourself, and actually learn how to do it at the same time.
For work, I eventually found that it took me longer to describe the business logic (and do the above dance) than to just.... do the work. I also have more confidence in the code, and understand it completely.
In terms of programming aids, a linter, formatter and LSP are, IMHO, a million times more useful than any LM.
