  • Google sucks

    I search for “superwoman actress” and the top three results were, 1) Gal Gadot’s wikipedia page, 2) Lynda Carter’s wikipedia page, and 3) A reddit post to r/wonderwoman.

  • Terror Tuesday: Extreme 2024

    This is quite the show so far.  This is a place holder.

  • Trap (2024)

    Trap (2024)

    This movie was actually pretty awesome.  Great premise.  Telling a unique psychological-thriller and horror story from an unusual perspective.  M. Night Shamalamaman is known for his twists, but this is just entertaining the whole way through.  I may have to watch it again.

    The technology that will replace us

    I saw a post on reddit with a bunch of hilarious responses when asking ChatGPT “How many Rs are in Strawberry?”, so I got on Chatbot Arena and tried it myself.

    If you aren’t familiar, Chatbot Arena is a leader board for various chatbots. You can submit a question and it will send it to two random chatbots, and then you pick the best answer. It can be useful for wasting time at work.

    The original post received the answer 2 Rs, and that’s what both models gave me my first try. And was by far the most common answer I received in testing.

    Model A: gemma-2-27b-it – Model B: gemma-2-2b-it

    This is an interesting take…

    Is this better or worse?

    Model B: toto-medium

    K.

    Model B: deepseek-coder-v2

    Can’t fool Gemini..

    Model B: gemini-1.5-pro-api-0514

    After a while it seemed most just can’t count, or assume I’m talking about rupees. I decided to rephrase the question to eliminate the rupees misunderstanding, “How many occurences of the letter R are in the word Strawberry?”. Which worked well, but most couldn’t could. GPT4o got it right every time, and Gemini 2 did also.

  • Mind Your Business

    Mind Your Business

    What was the motto on the first US coin? MIND YOUR BUSINESS

    I’ve long been aware that in god we trust was not mandated on our currency until the red scare of the 50s, but thanks to checking snopes while bored at work I now know the original motto. I’m totally in favor of bring this back.

  • New blog theme

    I spent a couple hours at work browsing different themes for the site. I’m still not quite happy with this one, but it will work for now. I’ll probably spend the rest of the night looking into creating my own theme.
