I have almost this exact mini PC. It was ok for things like StarCraft 2 and the Sims 4. I tried playing a newer game like Stormgate and it couldn't keep up.

I've since spent a bunch of money getting an eGPU set up, and have yet to have more than 5 gaming sessions in a row without a crash.

I probably could have saved a lot of money if I'd just gotten a PC with some headroom for upgrading, but I really didn't think I'd want to.

I'm just happy that I saw some news on it instead of nothing

Ok, that's easy. If I make an LRM model of your dead grandma, is that your grandma? Why not? What's different?

Your bug fixing teams are begging for automation. That tells me you have an unsustainable setup. You are providing a bug fix suggestion tool, I don't see how that fixes your problem. Seems like you need better coding practices and possibly more people.

A couple of things:

  • we are talking about chat bots talking to people in this post, and how you can steer the simulated conversation towards whatever you want
  • it did not debug anything, a human debugged something and wrote about it. Then that human input and a ton of others were mapped into a huge probability map, and some computer simulated what people talking about this would most likely say. Is it useful? Sure, maybe. Why didn't you debug it yourself?

I will 100% admit to not reading papers and keeping up to date. I went ahead and spent about 30m looking up various explanations and summaries of LRMs. Ok, so you take an LLM and tell it to break the problem down first. It's still not reasoning. It's running a simulation of a natural language conversation, and giving you the center of mass of the statistical distribution for the intermediate steps. Does this kinda sorta replicate the sounds a human makes? Absolutely. But it's irresponsible and unethical to make any claims that this is a human like entity you can chat with, or that it is doing any reasoning.

When I get some time I'll check this paper out: https://ml-site.cdn-apple.com/papers/the-illusion-of-thinking.pdf

No, just because they say they want it to reason, does not mean it does

This is the problem with things that don't reason. You're just giving it hints towards the simulation you want, and then it ultimately simulates the conversation you are building towards.

That was a whodunnit not a medical drama

Came here to say this exactly. And I'm thinking like maybe some kind of sea creature, maybe coral?

Just mint alone or someone else's toothpaste breath. The smell of someone's saliva mixed with toothpaste is very gross to me
