Comment Re:The Dissaperance of Literary Men (Score 1) 113

I'm not trying to keep track, I'm not even making a point to read women authors, but I've also been reading them all my life and hope to continue. I find it encouraging as well that I've never made it a point, yet some of my favorite authors are women. Not about what it says about me, but rather about them — that they are every bit as capable of being great authors.

I used to think I was going to track a bunch of stuff about me and refer back to it, but it turned out to be a pain and not actually all that interesting.

They need to implement some secondary AI "fact checking" (how, I have no idea) to cut this BS out.

There is only one way, and it is human verification. A human can think and an AI can't.

They could improve the results by having it check itself, but it would not fix the problem. Same with using another LLM, which might fix some problems, but cause others.

Also of course a human would also make mistakes, so no matter what, you can't fix it 100%.

You can obviously find incorrect information with a normal search, but AI can give you incorrect answers both for that reason and that it cannot think.

You can still to this day trust that Google's regular search results will contain your tokens.

You can not trust that Google's AI search results will contain your tokens. Further, it presents "citation" links which not only do not contain them, they do not support the statements they are connected to.

Both of those things are fundamental failures far worse than the problems with even the current non-AI google search results, let alone the older ones where they did less thinking for you and deciding what you want instead of listening to what you want.

Comment Re:Intel? (Score 1) 51

They were good for a cheap second computer that is rarely used.

Ordinary operations became tedious and compatibility was poor, requiring compatibility patches for many programs. That may have been largely intel's fault (with their icc compiler deliberately providing inferior performance on compatibles) but that was no comfort to the user who was affected and none of that is good. This was a problem for the K6 as well, but at least by the time of the K6/2 they had fixed the architectural deficiencies (notably with the fpu's precision) and it was just down to intel's fuckery. That still wasn't pleasant either. This generally persisted until roughly the Athlon era. I had most of these chips and experience the problems myself.
