    The use of language like “unaware” when people are discussion LLMs drives me crazy. LLMs aren’t “aware” of anything. They do not have a capacity for awareness in the first place.

    People need to stop taking about them using terms that imply thought or consciousness, because it subtly feeds into the idea that they are capable of such.




  • My most common use for Google assistant was an extremely simple command. “Ok Google, set a timer for ten minutes.” I used this frequently and flawlessly for a long time.

    Much like in your situation it just stopped working at some point. Either asking for more info it doesn’t need, or reporting success while not actually doing it. I just gave up trying and haven’t used any voice assistant in a couple of years now.

    It doesn’t matter if you have 2 Gigabit internet if no one in the world is uploading even half that fast. A single download on Steam is like 450 Mbps

    This sounds more like the infrastructure in your area just isn’t up to delivering those speeds, regardless what the last mile to the home is.

    I promise you Steam’s CDN absolutely can deliver more than 450Mbps. It regularly maxes out my 1.5 Gbps at home, and I have no doubt that it could potentially go even faster than that if I had a better connection.

    Like plugging a 10Gbps network switch into a 100Mbps gateway, it sounds like a fast final link to the home is being choked out by poor infrastructure in the region and can’t be fully utilized.
