It might surprise you to know that you’re not entitled to a free education from me. Your original query of “What’s the difference?” is what I responded to willingly. Your philosophical exploration of the nature of intelligence is not in the same ballpark.

I’ve done vibe coding too, enough to understand that the LLMs don’t think.

Then you should have an easier time than most learning more. Your points show a lack of understanding about the tech, and I don’t have the time to pick everything you said apart to try to convince you that LLMs do not have sentience.

Performance has been better for me too. I keep both installed on my media server, but I hope one day that I can easily ditch plex

I would do more research on how they work. You’ll be a lot more comfortable making those distinctions then.

Where do you get your hot dog ingredients then?

Parrots can mimic humans too, but they don’t understand what we’re saying the way we do.

AI can’t create something all on its own from scratch like a human. It can only mimic the data it has been trained on.

LLMs like ChatGP operate on probability. They don’t actually understand anything and aren’t intelligent. They can’t think. They just know that which next word or sentence is probably right and they string things together this way.

If you ask ChatGPT a question, it analyzes your words and responds with a series of words that it has calculated to be the highest probability of the correct words.

The reason that they seem so intelligent is because they have been trained on absolutely gargantuan amounts of text from books, websites, news articles, etc. Because of this, the calculated probabilities of related words and ideas is accurate enough to allow it to mimic human speech in a convincing way.

And when they start hallucinating, it’s because they don’t understand how they sound, and so far this is a core problem that nobody has been able to solve. The best mitigation involves checking the output of one LLM using a second LLM.

I get that. I prefer to use what just works. Plex has for a while been moving towards putting barriers around using it locally. Jellyfin has less polish, but none of the bullshit.

It increases on April 29th, so if you still want to buy a lifetime pass at the current rate, you have until then.

There’s an extension/plugin that you can install for that. I have been meaning to do that, but I keep forgetting, so I can’t say how good it is.

This is my experience too. The web interface is usable, but a bit rough. It is a lot like early Plex web UI. The options for clients are okay on Android / Google TV but they are kinda bad on Apple TV.

Hopefully as more people discover Jellyfin interest in development of both the server and the clients will surpass Plex.

I appreciate what Plex has offered for free for many years now, and I was once a subscriber, but I don’t love it anymore because I’m looking for the straightest path to watching my library on my devices. Jellyfin delivers this better most of the time.

More than a feeling
That’s the power of love!

Love is a language
And a battlefield
And it stinks
And it’s all you need
And sometimes it ain’t enough
And it don’t cost a thing

It’s all very confusing.

Why, oh why didn’t I take the blue pill?

Fair enough. I appreciate the extra details.

How dare you not enjoy being manipulated!

Same. I like physical intimacy, and if they don’t, we’re not compatible.

My wife and I slept together after our first date. We knew each other for only a couple of weeks prior to that. I would have been fine waiting another couple or so, but if she had been hesitant about sex after that, then I would have probably talked to her about our differences in sex drive - like adults should do. Mine is high, and I’m not going to be a good match for anyone who has a low sex drive.

Custom electronic systems like retro consoles operate in a cycle that can be influenced by only one part of that cycle moving faster than the others. Think of it like a relay race. If one runner in the middle of the race can run faster than normal, the combined time of the entire team running goes down.

This is a gross oversimplification, but it illustrates the point well enough. The audio being processed faster can and will influence how fast each cycle runs. That will then mean extra FPS in at least some cases.

Another thing to consider about original hardware is that no two units are exactly the same, even when they were brand new. The differences between them will only grow as the hardware ages (and the differences in their operating environments also matter).

There is no shame in looking at a guide if you hit a point where progress without one is so frustrating that you’re not enjoying yourself anymore.

Metroid II is my least favorite of the series, but it’s still a solid entry. AMR2 is a very good fan recreation, but don’t skip on Samus Returns on the 3DS if you enjoy Metroid II
