I think you should post this over to !fedigrow@lemmy.zip or one of the other communities for growing lemmy and helping new joiners. You are likely duplicating effort.

Yes, but here's the trick: No one will be sitting around at the end of your life with a checklist of what you should have accomplished.

While there's a gratification to pushing yourself and your limits, there is also gratification to be found in just being. In enjoying where you are and what you have.

Slow progress is still progress. The ability to do amazing in bursts doesn't mean that you can keep up that effort/quality constantly, which is what many "normies" and authority figures when you're young seem to miss.

You're the one who gets to choose what you try to compete at, and the older I get the more comfortable I am with just competing against my own self. Myself a day ago, a month ago, a few years ago.

Other studies (not all chess based or against this old chess AI) show similar lackluster results when using reasoning models.

Edit: When comparing reasoning models to existing algorithmic solutions.

No, more like "Your marketing team, sales team, the news media at large, and random hype men all insist your orange machine works amazing on any fruit if you know how to use it right. It didn't work my strawberries when I gave it all the help I could, and was outperformed by my 40 year old strawberry machine. Please stop selling the idea it works on all fruit."

This study is specifically a counter to the constant hype that these LLMs will revolutionize absolutely everything, and the constant word choices used in discussion of LLMs that imply they have reasoning capabilities.

Ah yes, surely "DontMakeMoreBabies" would be the perfect source for all my parenting advice.

Everyone knows that anti-natalists are the best source for parenting advice!

It was an intentional feature for techs working on the devices.

As others have said, that's not the "banned" message. That's some overzealous automatic thing they've put in that seems to try and stop excessive traffic all coming from the same source. When it works "right" it mainly just pops up to stop people on VPNs (lots of traffic from a relatively small set of IP addresses).

It's stupid as hell, and just more poor decisions stemming from their attempts to prevent scraping by AI, but it's not a ban.

Fun fact: The band that made it, Lemon Demon, is just Neil Ciciriega. He's still doing wonderfully goofy musical shit, and weird ass funny videos.

Another great one (already 10 years old): https://youtu.be/0tdyU_gW6WE
