I have never heard anyone claim that LLM’s would not hallusinate. who would be that stupid, it is the basic principle how they work

Hotzilla@sopuli.xyzto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How could AI be better than an encyclopedia?4·6 天前Google is so shit nowadays, it’s main purpose is to sell you things, not to actually retrieve the things you ask.
Mainly you see this with coding related questions, they were much better 5 years ago. Now only way to get results is to ask LLM and hope it doesn’t hallusinate some library that doesn’t exist.
Part of the issue is that SEO got better and google stopped changing things to avoid SEO manipulation.
Hotzilla@sopuli.xyzto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?English6·12 天前I must admit, my home rack server runs hyper-v, it is free and I have MSDN. Of course inside the hyper-v I run ten linux boxes.
Proxmox really didn’t exists before and I didn’t want to use VMware.
Next one I will do with proxmox.
Please dont judge me.
Hotzilla@sopuli.xyzto Buy European@feddit.uk•The world's largest sand battery just went live in FinlandEnglish3·12 天前Large scale three phase energy generation is always something rotating in sync with the grid. Easiest way to do that is to spin turbine+generator.
All nuclear, coal, biomass power plants just heat water to 300-800°C and push it through turbine.
The thing is that it is really quite robust, and there isn’t any other good solutions to it. They do have quite a lot of loss, but the cooled water after process (still over 100°C) can be used in other industries or district heating improving the efficiency.
Hydropower just spin the turbine with water flow. Wind directly spins the turbine, which is good for efficiency. Solar panels are still quite inefficient, but because they just use space, they make lot of sense even with poorer efficiency.

Hotzilla@sopuli.xyzto Buy European@feddit.uk•The world's largest sand battery just went live in FinlandEnglish3·12 天前Yes, I totally agree, when talking about these thermal batteries, it should always be made clear.
When Converting heat MWh(t) to electricity MWh(e) is pretty much 2/3 loss in the process, i.e. turbine, and it must be super heated vapor meaning like 800C°.
Edit: But to be clear, they are called heat batteries, even in English.
Hotzilla@sopuli.xyzto Buy European@feddit.uk•The world's largest sand battery just went live in FinlandEnglish28·13 天前Yes, and the basic principle of thermal batteries has been quite common here in Finland for some time.
All Finnish cities have district heating networks, so there is some heating plant that generates heat, which is distributed to homes using water as medium. It is closed system where hot water goes in, colder water comes out, which is heated back up. This energy is used to heat the home and heat the cold usage water (faucet/shower etc)
Because the network is lots of water, there is already quite a lot of energy storage in the heat grid itself, so itself works as a battery. In last five years almost all big networks have created water based thermal batteries. Those are 7-8 stories high insulated water containers. These make sense because you just start taking the already heated water from the container to the grid when ever you need.
So the tech itself is quite standard here, just the medium of using sand is new. Sand brings you bit longer storage time, but adds bit of complexity to the process.

There could be some sense figuring first out water containers. Old saying is that human survives few minutes without oxygen, few days without water and few weeks without food. Water > Food
Also as a hunter gatherer, food is around you (berries, roots, game) and you can carry them with you. Drinking water is more scarce and keeping it with you when you move around needs some container.

They seem to be quite good
Not saying that openai would be the good guys here, but I believe they are realizing that they are behind on local models.
Hotzilla@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.zip•Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and 'technological updates'English1·1 个月前Using a bad translation/transcript as base for professional translator is still better than nothing. Like I said, translators are still going to be needed, but lots of the heavy manual work can be now automated.
Also often when very domain specific language is used, the translation made by human can be bad, because they don’t know the proper terms. Of course good professional translators will ask these. It is also something that must be done with these dummy LLM models, you cannot just throw text into it and expect good results.
