    I just joined a site called criticker that aims to fix this via data normalization. It can adjust ratings to the way you rate and base them on people who rate like you as well. Although its database is a bit lacking and all ratings are public.

    Also FYI on 1 to 10 5.5 is average, 5 is below average.






  • AMD Ryzen CPUs have reportedly seen over a 50% price increase in Japan, likely due to AI.

    … CPU prices could reportedly increase as software developers shift toward running cloud-based AI-related applications locally.

    Who tf is running ai models on cpus? The source seems to be a Chinese report by intel:

    … The goal was to achieve a cumulative price increase of 30% based on 2025 prices, thereby recovering the investment in capacity expansion and meeting the return expectations of the capital market and investors…

    … some users, especially software developers, are choosing to deploy AI-related applications locally, thus creating strong demand for AI PCs … The core growth is concentrated in the high-end thin and light laptop and thin and light gaming laptop user groups…

    So the reason AMD’s desktop cpus suddenly got more expensive in Japan is because Intel is expecting an increase in ultrabook sales? I’m unsatisfied



  • I don’t think it’s that justified to cast 20th century generations as villains as a whole. Most people definitely didn’t possess a murderous intent to erase human race. And I certainly can’t blame people for overdoing it with environmental harm when the increase in their own quality of life was tied to those technologies causing the harm. It feels like blaming a starving person who just got access to abundant food for giving themselves refeeding syndrome




  • To me agentic ai seems to be a futile attempt at making llms useful in a work context. The idea of having virtual workers who will accomplish tasks and lift their own weight seems appealing until you realize not even hiring actual human workers increases throughput until they can get their bearings. Tools that consistently and accurately do repetitive things is more valuable for an individual than an open ended tool with the potential to solve it all in one go imo.

    I find it hard to believe that llms trying to cover up for their weaknesses with increasingly token intensive methods like thinking or planning will stay economically viable after the “capture the market” phase of the ai industry. It is remarkable that such methods work at all. I can’t imagine there’s nearly enough training data about non-final work or thought processes or planning that went behind producing something, not to mention people might not accurately describe how they reached their solution even if they try to. And even if they manage to print those thoughts into their context, llms don’t produce words through a thought process so it’s dubious how much benefit they can ultimately obtain.

    I think once the ai craze is over people might make tools that use machine learning to automate tasks but I don’t think the repackaged chatbots are it.

    I’ve tried agentic coding using a bunch of llms from ollama couple weeks ago, most couldn’t manage to consistently find the correct file, glm4.7 got pretty far but lost context and produced some irrelevant code.
