Those errors in 99.9% of the time are hardware related or driver related. I've personally not seen bsod or had a windows crash in years. Last week my on board Lan card started erroring out but windows didn't crash, I just lost internet. Switched to wifi and moved on.

I've also used portable AC inside my home, it was horrible, a lot of heat creeps in due to bad insulation for the heat exhaust pipe, also creates vacuum since it exhaust air, which in turn sucks in more hot air

European windows open sideways not up and down. So we can't just stick an ac unit on the window.

PirateSoftware predicted this would happen and got death threats, swatted, multiple videos hating on him. Like he is the villain. Lobby groups, politics and copyright law are the issues.

Came here to say this. Files in OneDrive get removed from your local storage and are downloaded ON DEMAND. given that you can have 1TB+ onedrive folder, backblaze downloading all of that is gonna throttle your connection and fill up your disk real fast.

the interactive console is built into Visual Studio, no extension needed

There is - albeit a dwindling - community that does reimplement entire backends for mmo games. Look up the ragezone forums. I grew up around Mu Online private servers. And I'm sure in time a private server for HD 2 will appear if arrowhead don't release one themselves :)

I self host a bunch of apps that have SSO as enterprise feature. i want to invite my family/friends into these apps, i don't wanna spend additional 20 000$ for the SSO part, but it be real sweet if i could use it. It would eliminate so much questions like "hey.. what was my login to X?" or "can you reset my password to Y" if i could just use SSO.

What have they innovated in the last 10 years?

low income countries don't have the money for iPads. My parents run on a 300 Euro computer bought 5 years ago. My dad is technical enough to get around a computer, but he's in his 60s now. My mom can open Facebook and youtube. Sometimes either of them downloads stuff, and opens them. So your solution is "make millions consumers spend $$ on overpriced hardware and even more closed off system, so few hundred open source devs don't spend 500$ to verify their app (which they will have to do if they want to release on the iOS platform either way)" Ain't no way.

Good. This might suck for opensource devs, but for normies that might get a random exe link this is good. I've gotten numerous phone calls from relatives when they try to run some unrecognized app, most of the time is benign, but on few occasions it was something malicious.

You're verifying your own claims. That's not good enough.

> research aided by my agent Also not good enough.

As an example: Yesterday i asked Claude and ChatGPT to design a circuitry that monitors pulses form S0 power meter interface. It designed a circuit that didn't have any external power to the circuit. When asked it said "ah yes, let me add that" and proceeded to confuse itself and add stuff that are not needed, but are explained and sounds reasonable if you don't know anything. After numerous attempts it didn't produce any working design.

So how can you verify that the therapist agent you've built will work with something as complex as humans, when it can't even do basic circuitry with known laws of physics and spec & data sheets of no more than 10 components?

Even today, leading LLMS Claude 3.7 and ChatGPT 4, take your questions as "you've made mistake, fix it" instead of answering the question. People consider a much broader context of the situation, your body language, facial expressions, and can come up with unusual solutions to specific situations and can explore vastly more things than an LLM.

And the thing when it comes to therapy is, a real therapist doesn't have to be prompted and can auto adjust to you without your explicit say so. They're not overly affirming, can stop you from doing things and say no to you. LLMs are the opposite of that.

Also, as a lay person how do i know the right prompts for <llm of the week> to work correctly?

Don't get me wrong, i would love for AI to be on par or better than a real life therapist, but we're not there yet, and i would advise everyone against using AI for therapy.

In the USA. In Europe and such, I'm not saying it's zero chance, but it's extremely unlikely. As Europeans don't rely on insurance for healthcare, but we use government for that :) ( the exception being, if you want private insurance if your government provided one isn't enough)

I follow the channel, can you give me few examples of these errors, as I have not noticed any (I'm not a subject matter expert, or maybe not paying attention enough)
