Idk if it's a coincidence, but since F1 and MotoGP have been bought by Liberty Media, they started featuring prominent betting statistics before the start of the race.

It's disgusting.

    I've done useful things with LLMs, some of which I probably wouldn't have done without it. I'm sure things would be different if frontier models' token weren't subsidized by investors, but I've been running local models as well and they aren't useless.

    What scares me is people blindly using these tools without hesitation, completely outsourcing their thinking to them. I work industrial process automation and that approach scares me a lot, in my field code is generally not complex, but you have to understand how the system responds to every action, that's difficult for humans, I can't imagine a text model doing great at that.

    And I'm disgusted at colleagues just copy pasting our IP into random cloud-based LLMs, makes me want to bang my head on the wall.

    What's more, it was an extra long cycle because my washing machine is dying and it got stuck with an error, so they spent several hours soaking, case and all.

    Well, I just charged them and apparently they work fine. I don't know how long they'll last after this kind of treatment, but just the fact that they didn't die immediately deserves a commendation IMO.
