You can use uBO on iOS now too. The Kagi search engine people have made a mobile browser (Orion) that supports Firefox and Chrome plugins!

My web browsing experience has drastically improved since I was finally able to get uBO back since my switch away from Android.

And have it’s teeth whitened

“A way out west there was this fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin’ parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that’s a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, like-wise. But then again, maybe that’s why I found the place s’durned innarestin’.”

Exactly what I was thinking.

I wonder if there’s any chance Nintendo will remaster the other two Metroid Prime games before 4 launches

And AND it’s not as though we can expect another mainline Zelda game on launch day. Maybe Metroid Prime 4, sure, but that series has never moved units the way Zelda does (as much as I wish it did).

I agree with your assessment. That’s where I fall too. I’ve got a launch day Switch and an OLED Steam Deck. My Switch mostly gathers dust since I got the Deck.

You can. It’s incredibly generous of you to do that!

You’ll need to know his account number and where the payment gets sent. It might be difficult to get this information quietly though.

Usually you’d want to call the company that is servicing the loan and ask them to calculate a payoff amount as of a specific date. That way when you make your payment, all outstanding interest is paid off as well as the balance.

That company may not give you this information depending upon laws and policies. Since you’re not the person they’re contracted with for the loan, it’s possible that they won’t. I don’t expect that to be the case though.

I used to be a loan officer / underwriter, but I never dealt with student loans which have different laws governing them, so this is the best info I have to share (it’s also been 15 years since I did that work). I used to give payoff amounts all the time to other people and organizations though. People refinance their loans all the time, so it’s very common to give out that payoff calculation when the requester has the account number and name of the loan account holder.

I agree. It’s not a formula for guaranteed success though. See Super Mario Bros. for one example

The open source Decky plugin will continue to be supported alongside this new program.

I’ve had a fantastic experience with both the plugin and the people behind it. I think I’m going to pay for this new program when they release it even if it’s just to help support the open source plugin.

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.

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.

Fair enough. I appreciate the extra details.
