Honestly, a terabyte can be filled up pretty quicky just with video games. High resolution films add up quicker than you think.
The library is good if you have the hardware to rip.
Not to mention stuff from the Internet Archive, which has all the things you definitely have never seen. It is nearly bizarre the gems one can find in the public domain.
For sure that is a limitation of an LLM. I was hoping the capabilities of Google or Bing would overcome that with extended formatting.
I am ignorant of the ownership of Opera, so I will reserve judgement. I will say that the browser is great, despite its problem foundation.
That is an awesome usecase. ChatGPT lets you get niche and weird, which isnwhere it is most productive.
ChatGPT has the issue that it has no date beyond September 2021, which is not typically an issue.
I get that too drom Bard sometimes, but it is for specific queries. I think the key is working on the prompt until it gets it. Sometimes you need to start over with a new chat.
Bing does not work like ChatGPT despite having the same base, even in creative mode. No idea why. However I like creative mode when I don't just dont want to see links embedded. I also love taking advantage of free Dall-E.
Bard is great for anything that can be put into a list or chart, like comparisons. Literally put in a chart.
I am dissapointed in that I have not been able to get a single mathematic equation produced (like famous ones), but I know they can?
If you get the chance and willing to download a full ass browser, Opera has Aria, which is like the cleanest version of ChatGPT I have seen. Just the formatted answers with hyperlinks are worth it. It is good. It is hard to explain, but Aria mostly just works. It is closer to Bard in responses, and does what you want out of Bing without messing with convo styles.
Whatever prompts that Bing put for the convo style may be messing with the results.
All things said, I switch between them often, depending on my needs. It takes some time but I have built my intuition of which one will give the best response for the prompt, but I often just search the prompt in all of them.
Anyways, I hope you find more success using them!
I had the same experience when choosing between the Intel or AMD versions of a prebuilt. Went with Intel due to having comparatably better specs at the price. Theading is better on AMD (as a rule?) but I can only have so much fun running multiple VMs.
It sucks. I hope you got the best part.
I have been using AI chat exclusively for searching for at least the past 3 days.
It is so much better in every possible way for simple factual questions, especially ChatGPT and Google Bard. Great for shopping. Microsoft Bing is okay, but you have to choose the right personality.
Sidenote: I KNOW using Google, and the other companies I will mention, is the antithesis of freedom and privacy. Yet, they are incredibly powerful tools that are getting implemented everywhere, so my curiousity has led me down an honestly fun rabbit hole.
The other AI that really surpised me is Opera Aria. Like Bing, it is using ChatGPT-4 and integrating real-time information. It just feels smarter, or perhaps more professional?
The caveat with all these except maybe Bard which, uses its own system, are very good at shutting down questions it does not want to answer. It feels weird and wrong when it happens, like it just saved you from asking something immoral, or at least too many questions about the tech.
Strange experience overall.
TL;DR AI chatbots are great at parsing the internet to get you answers with reasonable accuracy and relevancy when old-fashioned search can be tedious or fruitless.
Cool recommendation! I just bought one!
I am hoping with all hope that it will let me replace my Roku for streaming.
As great as the functionality of the Roku is, the constant advertising makes me loath this thing. I do not want it anymore.
I was about to ask if Kagi is worth paying for, but their website does a tremendous job of selling it. I am going to have to give up a subscription to afford it, but I think it will be worth it. Actually... maybe not. I pay for everything annually when I can. Too bad they don't have that option, but it makes sense when their are hard limits to searches and features between tiers.
Hell yes! Those are endgame as far as I can tell. I will admit I also scored one! Where I used to live there was an electronic flea market, which was a genuine treasure trove for people like us. Alas, I have never powered it on. When I moved I wrapped up all my little TVs and stored them away. They are accessible now, but I need to procure the cables and adapters to make them work.
My goal is to make a shelf or some kind of bespoke table to display and use them as I please.
I also got a little Sony Trinitron and it is beautiful.
Also, I am a massive dumbass. My sister used to own one of the last produced Sony Trinitrons. Flatscreen, built in DVD and VCR player. That was the perfect television. I let it go because kid me was an idiot (not as dumb as adult me, unfortunately. damn).
Hell yes! Love my laser printer. I have paper to last a lifetime, and I have no qualms about printing stuff out because I can alwasy recycle the paper (make more paper, art projectsz scrap/scratch).
Honestly people, if you don't have one, go to your local Staples or Office Depot (or lets be honest, Amazon) and get yourself one.
I know so many people who do not even own a printer, which is insane. Driving out to Kinkos or FedEx to print out a few pages is dumb. They can be found in thrift stores, and ink or toner can be had for a fraction of the price if you go third-party.
One thing I love to collect are tiny CRTs. I actually grew up watching Star Trek on a boom box with a television built in (what the hell happened to it, I dont know).
They are awesome! All the fun of a CRT without the pain of it being heavy and taking up a lot of space.
Thanks for the advice! I have a few games for the OG Xbox, my most prized being Panzer Dragoon. I must beat that one day.
Proxmox is awesome. Sort of the answer to most of my server wants.
