I have some data science background, and I kinda understand how LLM parameter tuning works and how model generates text.

Simplifying and phrasing my understanding, an LLM works like - Given a prompt: Write a program to check if input is an odd number (converts the prompt to embedding), then the LLM plays a dice game/probability game of: given prompt, then generate a set of new tokens.

Now my question is, how are the current LLM's are able to parse through a bunch of search results and play the above dice game? Like at times it reads through say 10 URLs and generate results, how are they able to achieve this? What's the engineering behind generating such huge verbose of texts? Cause I always argue about the theoretical limitations of LLM, but now that these "agents" are able to manage huge verbose of text I dont seem to have a good argument. So what exactly is happening? And what is the ~~limit of AI~~ non theortical limit of AI?

edit: I really want to clarify, I am not upset that people are angry about Epstein. I am not complaining that Americans want more transparency, that they want those involved to be punished for their actions. I am not unhappy that people want to raise more awareness towards the issue of the rich evading the law. I am certainly not trying to argue for the protection of those involved, nor am I trying to make a case for them/"playing devil's advocate". I am simply asking the question of why it is brought up so often in off-topic discussion. Why are people interpreting Trump yelling about annexing Canada as "diverting attention from the Epstein files"? Why are his threats towards Greenland and the Panama Canal called similar?

(original post begins here)

Everybody can accept that what he and his billionaire friends are horrible people who did horrible things to minors. The implication that so many high-ranking politicians from all over the world is associated with it is very bad indeed. But why do so many Americans seem to be so obsessed with Epstein and his "files"?

It seems like whatever discussion there is, there's always someone going on about "releasing the files" when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. And when anything is vaguely about America and its politics (e.g. kidnapping of Maduro), many will claim that it's because they want to "distract the public from Epstein" or similar, feel good about themselves, and move on without contributing anything to the discussion like some sort of conspiracy theorist who tries to win arguments by saying it's a conspiracy by the CIA/aliens/lizard people/etc. (side note: who actually believes in lizard people? Is this a joke or do people actually believe in those?) Not everything is about egg head island.

The involvement of so many powerful and rich people is quite bad indeed, and the coverup (suicide and maybe-murder of the guy, the hidden and almost mythical "files" that, even when released, are super redacted, the denial, etc) is concerning too. It is normal to seek out punishment for those involved, to press for more transparency around it, etc., that I can agree with, but it is not normal to justify all the war, conflict, and incitations of invasion that America is doing now, will do later, and has done in the past because of this.

BRUSSELS, March 2 (Reuters) - Scaling up production in Europe could cut the cost gap between EU-made batteries and those coming from China to around 30% from a current 90%, transport and environment campaign group T&E said in a report on Monday, and it urged the EU to support the sector with its "Made in Europe" plans.

Here's the process as I understand it (please correct my errors):

1. USA likes Israel, a lot for some reason
2. "Israel" attacks Iran. This whole thing is being done with the USA's airplanes though.

• Why does the USA love Israel so much?
• What's the logic here? Not just the conspiracy. But why now? Why at all? Is Israel gaining something that I'm not seeing? Destabilization the main goal? What's the USA gaining here?

Hi,

I an currently trying to add remote access to 2 of my servers but didn't manage to get a working setup as is.

Right now I want to access 2 servers:

• one is for media stuff (navidrome, jellyfin, managing the arr stack)
• one is for my data syncing with rsync and after set a backup from borg to another server not on my domain

I was trying at some point to add stuff such as tailscale, but somehow I always had issues with having both servers reachable within the IP range I use on my local network, so everything would work as is with the current config at home being away. I have also heard of cloudflare tunnels as well, but that I didn't try yet. At some point I tried to do just a regular wireguard from my opnsense, but I would prefer not to have open ports to worry about (and also had issues with internal IP not being assigned from wireguard as well).

Does anyone here has experience with this? If so, what was your solution and/or caviats to it?

EDIT: I got some very good responses but I think I failed to understand that what I would need is probably a hop in server of sorts for the VPN. Meaning:

• I login to the hop server
• I get an internal IP for my network, meaning, 192.168.1.xxx
• I do whatever I need to do
• log out

Does anyone has experience with such solution? My point would be able to have full access to everything on the network without having to do a VPN on every machine i need access to (although it can create a massive single point of failure/risk)

The incident has been widely described online as a possible “friendly fire” loss, but neither the US military nor Kuwaiti authorities had issued a public statement confirming the cause, location, or unit involved at the time of writing.

Violent clashes between protesters and security forces in Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi and in the country’s north left at least 22 people dead and more than 120 others injured as demonstrators supportive of the Iranian government attempted to storm a U.S. Consulate on Sunday, authorities said.

In the north of the country, demonstrators attacked U.N. and government offices.

The violence came after the United States and Israel attacked Iran, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Police and officials at a hospital in Karachi said that at least 50 people were also wounded in the clashes and some of them were in critical condition.

Hello everyone,

i am thinking about getting a ugreen DH4300, however I don't trust the company with their is so I am thinking about installing something like OMV on it. Has anyone here done that to this line of machines? I found no one saying anything about this online.

On another note. Currently I have a raspberry running my services. Would it even worth it to get that ugreen? Or should I just upgraded my pi with some hats or a DAS?

Amazon says “objects” struck a data center in its UAE region (ME-CENTRAL-1), throwing sparks and starting a fire. Almost certainly due to the ongoing war.

Separately, another data center is offline due to a "localized power issue."

Australia’s internet regulator said it may push search engines and app stores to block artificial intelligence services that fail to verify user ages after a Reuters review found more than half had not made public any steps to comply by a deadline next week.

I am charging my laptop with one of the "quick charging" phone chargers right now, currently it says 5 hours until full charge. Does this wear out the battery faster or something? Or does it make no difference apart from taking a little bit longer?
