Goșu despre războiul ce va să vie
Nu știu cum se face că am aflat despre emisiunea „În fața ta” din 8 martie de-abia pe 15 martie. De fapt, știu. Nu m-am uitat nici pe site, nici…

Windows IoT 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021: Would you have expected me to write about it?
Strange things are happening: I wanted to try Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC (which is still horrendous, because it's Win11), and I learned about Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021. As…
Democrația ucisă „în numele legii”
Nu, nu mă gândesc la Trump, ci la Georgescu. Și nu, nu la cretinii care l-au votat și care ar vrea să-l voteze din nou, ci la modul abuziv în…
War in Europe, Peace in Heaven?
So, I recently found this Ștefan Popescu guy. I mean, I knew about him, but I used to find him off-putting. I only started taking him seriously a few days…
The Orange Apocalypse and the EU + 5 Updates!
The abundance of analysts is beginning to tire me. For example, Ștefan Popescu from SNSPA: is this guy merely a realist, or is he also a defeatist and an ass-licker,…
The United States of Ruzzia + links
America first. Ruzzia firster. I'm afraid that, in the long run, China will eventually become the firstest. Note that in the current situation, Trump is merely the bull in a…
Quickest quickie: Claude 3.7 is here
Just before taking an 8-day pause from blogging, I noticed that Claude got a version upgrade. The official announcement, Claude Sonnet and Claude Code, is informative enough, but there are…
Me no know much, but running LLMs locally was disappointing
I never thought I’d be doing that, especially as it doesn’t make sense on a €400 laptop that lacks a proper GPU and VRAM: i3-1215U with Intel graphics (ADL GT2)…
Führer’s Grok 3 is promising―and expensive if you need more of it 🥴
It's a disgrace to have an LLM and an AI chatbot belonging to a complete asshole and a Nazi. But the AI model per se seems promising. What I mean…
It’s the automotive industry that might kill the BRD ➕ wahl.chat
If you were sleeping under a rock, Politico has it for you: German automakers have also bet big on the electrification of cars, investing billions in developing new models and…
The Amazon Kindle and stupid people: a storm in a teacup
There is one small change that will happen in relation to Kindle e-books, as noticed recently by people purchasing a book who wish to download it as a file and…
🤖 Mistral is a bad French “citizen”
I had a mental blank and could not recall the name of a French bookstore from which, many years ago, I purchased an e-book. It started with M, but what…
How does a LLM work? These videos won’t help that much ➕ Microsoft hallucinates!
All the YouTube videos about how AI works, with stress on the chatbots based on LLMs, are superficial. It can’t be otherwise for two reasons: any such presentation is popularized…
SEO: Is Claude on my side, or it’s parroting me?
There is one thing that I could never understand. I asked ChatGPT about it on March 17, 2023, and I wasn't satisfied with the results. Now I just asked Claude,…
You Don’t Fool Me
I used to be annoyed by the huge influx of hoaxes, fake news, and especially fake quotations long before any LLM was born. And today's chatbots can hallucinate quotations for…
The Führer’s minions have restored my account
While people and organizations are leaving X, I just got restored. It’s the end of the world. (It wasn’t automatic; I contested it again, and in 2 minutes I was…
I tried to understand “no contest” without consulting Wikipedia
I’m sick of chatbots because I'm using them since March 13, 2023. More recently, I thought DeepSeek to be OK, then horrendous, and finally unable to admit guilt. Thankfully, I…
