That was what was originaly advertised, they wanted to be what Kotlin is to Java but for Python. They quickly turned tails on this.

That and the not completely open source development model is what has always felt very vaporwary to me.

my big thing is honestly storage space which is terible. I have 256 GB but thats not enough with the size of some of my games. The model i got had no 512 Option back then.
mastermage··on Apple ignores DMA interoperability requests and contradicts own documentation
Security is not a fixed state, a closed system is not fundamentally more secure as the most vulnerable component is still within the system. The user.

mastermage··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic coding power, now open to all
> Do you know of any other statistical model that can "hallucinate".

Actualy most statistical models can "hallucinate", specifically those that are capable of interpolation.

I have witnessed this for example in Gaussian Processes. In my own scientific work.

That is a genuinely thought provoking idea.

mastermage··on The local LLM ecosystem doesn’t need Ollama
thanks for opening my eyes uninstalled ollama, currently trying out LM Studio will probably try the othe ones aswell. the .cpp always scared me from using llama.cpp directly.

I am so perplexed what exactly where people thinking they were. Its nothing else than highly sofisticated statistics.
mastermage··on ChatGPT for Excel
Well other than the limits of Copilots usefullness.
mastermage··on Seven countries now generate nearly all their electricity from renewables (2024)
Specifically alot of the laws on Windpower. Where it has to be amount x away from any populated place. Meaning there is only something like 0.1% of the area of Germany where you would be allowed to built Windparks.

My bad on the EEG i thought that stopped since I do not pay it anymore directly.

> Yes, but if the budget of the whole thing is high(er) they don't tend to cheap out on details that could mske or break it.

The evidence does not point to this. There have been copious amounts of movies that hired the Rock and then made the worst CGI in the history of Cinema.

mastermage··on Cal.com is going closed source
Security through obscurity has always worked out so well.
mastermage··on Roblox devs now need a subscription to share their games freely
I think Hytale can grab some marketshare because its modding tools are realy good. And they are built into the game.
mastermage··on Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit
and the best thing is then the conspiracy theorists do not go after like the realy small set of things that actualy could be called a real conspiracy. Coughs in the trump files ft. epstein.
mastermage··on Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit
I would actualy give the not so benefit of the doubt even to powerful people. Everyone does stupid shit all the time.

There is however a significant difference in how the fallout of this dumb shit affects people. Powerful people may do dumb shit and then due to the power sweep the consequences away from themselves. While everyone else would have had to face these consequences.

And thats the fundamental issue. Too much power allows dumb decisions to stand unchallenged, and removes the possibility for self correction (due to consequences). Which is fundamentally why the power of singular people needs to be limited.

Counterpoint most of the Movies budgets is usualy spent on the actors and on the filming. Not on the editing team. There is also copious amounts of money in photography Alot of advertising is still static images and print.
mastermage··on Seven countries now generate nearly all their electricity from renewables (2024)
Wind has a problem in Germany thats true, but the problem is not volatility its the maddening regulations that basically only exist because nimbys do not want Windparks built anywhere.

EEG Subsidies no longer exist. Germany's high electricity price is due to the weird af Laws on Renewables, terrible planning, and well Gas Power, which is just expensive as shit.
