Great find! And oh no, it’s complete with the customary blissfully unaware user replying to say he’s wrong!

Fun fact: Both were invented by the same guy, Harold Nathan Braunhut.

Wow, that guy is a piece of work.

Rather abrupt shift in topic in that article

I guess with knives the thing is it’s very easy and cheap to get a version that works well lasts pretty much forever. Makes the other options look worse in comparison.

Not the person you’re replying to, but I’m sure they mean something like, imagine the tutorial level in a normal town, but the boss’s final lair from the Catholic moon has glitched into the middle of the tutorial town.

Yes, like on the old Final Fantasy Super Nintendo games.

On: Do not download the app, use the website

Reddit used to have a really excellent mobile experience at i.reddit.com. It was a minimalist fast-loading mobile-first formatted version of the website. Unfortunately they shut it down not too long ago.

I personally really like the old.reddit.com experience on my phone. Everything works surprisingly well. Sure you have to zoom in and scroll around and I know some people hate zooming in but it's never bothered me.

I personally can't stand apps that stop me from zooming in on things.

My sister complains about the information density of old Reddit being too high but that's exactly what I like about it!

[dontlaugh → donatj]

I'm one of those people that dislike having to zoom and (importantly) pan around on a 2D canvas.

I miss Apollo.

That was the day I stopped reading reddit.

On: Local LLMs versus offline Wikipedia

[Tempat1]

I feel like there could be way more of that kind of thing - LLMs backed by a database of info or accurate tools.

e.g. At the risk of massively oversimplifying a complex issue, LLMs are bad at maths; couldn’t we have them use the calculator?

[rlupi → Tempat1]

LLM tools do exactly that. That's why most online LLMs (openai, gemini) have access to sandboxed python for calculations.
