As others have said, LLMs simply do not have such a potential.
On the other hand, we have fully mapped simple brains, so it seems likely that we may be able to simulate a complete human brain at some point in the distant future. You can download a nematode brain yourself if you want.
Forgot the “bread” part of “bread and circuses”
Euro-Office and OnlyOffice don’t “only support” OOXML. Where did you get that idea?
And not every software developed in Russia is “riddled with Russian spyware.” The code is open so where do you suppose all this supposed spyware is hiding? Or is that just fear-mongering?
I’d love for LibreOffice to do a serious modernization to be a viable alternative. But for most users, it feels like a downgrade whether or not it is technically better under the hood. I use OnlyOffice these days even though it has a lot more bugs because the UX is just that much better in spite of it.
I think I tried using AgenDAV - CalDAV web client at one point but I either ran into a speedbump or I decided I didn’t need it. Is that the same? I also found this vibe-coded thing while searching just now.
Anx reader syncs stats and position across devices in this way, but I don’t think it runs on the kobo reader.
Yes, radicale works great, but the UI is pretty spartan. It will manage the data, but requires a client to make edits or view the content.
First, you will have to export any existing calendar and contacts as files. It depends on what you’re currently using. Contacts should probably be a vcf file, and a calendar should probably be an ics.
Next, use the ↑ button in radicale, select the exported files, and it will create a new “collection” as shown in your post. You can also create a new empty collection to use as you wish. Radicale will not merge files, but you can use a client to do that once you have created the collection in radicale.
You will have to find a client that will sync. On Android, DAVx5 will integrate it into the system so basically any client can access it. Certain Android apps may connect directly, but it’s pretty hit or miss. On desktop, I use Thunderbird which works very well, but there are other options. You will use the blacked-out URL in your post to add the contacts and calendar. Check the individual app documentation or make another post if you want help.
Oh, and the last thing… Of course the client will have to be on the same network. If you want to access it remotely, you will want to set up something like wireguard (I use Tailscale, which is dead simple).
It’s a shame because I really do believe in the project. I just want it to be better.
It’s a poorly designed standard without a doubt. But it is the format people use, and no one who uses it is paying Microsoft (including LibreOffice).
Whinging about people using it is not the way to make useful software.
I really don’t get this latest series if tantrums from LibreOffice/The Document Foundation. They are attacking every other up-and-coming open source document project.
Are you mad about people choosing a different project that’s easier to switch from M$? Stay mad I guess, or make your project better. LibreOffice hasn’t had a major UI update in a decade, and it was a decade overdue at the time. The menus are a crowded mess with poorly thought-out hierarchy. Mobile and collaborative editors are a joke. No one cares if LibreOffice technically has the best backend, with the most accurate rendering and niche features, if it is harder for the average mainstream user to learn and use.
You can burn your energy bemoaning the loss of users… or you can be better and win them back. Rarely both.
Last thing, a few facts about the “dreaded” OOXML format they are railing against.
It’s called hydrogen hydroxide and is the single deadliest chemical on Earth. Inhalation results in over 100,000 deaths annually, and it causes hundreds of billions of dollars in damage around the world.
That’s one of the most remarkable things I’ve noticed in joining the fediverse (mastodon years ago and lemmy the past couple years).
When people are in charge of their own social media platforms, there’s not less censorship. It just serves a different purpose.
In many ways, speech is more restricted on large federated platforms, but it is for the purpose of protecting people. You can’t just go around being a racist troll or sex pest. It turns out that people actually like limiting speech when people are not the product. The issue in this article would never happen where people have complete freedom and control of their media.
Yet somehow I think if the subject of the deepfakes were Elon, then the response would be different. 🤔
“Name a country.”
… Doesn’t name a country.
You know, that’s fair enough. But honestly people confidently spreading ridiculous misinformation can set me off a bit.
I’d love to hear which country you think has “unbiased media” lol
Yes, exactly. There were people who called the internet a fad at the time. Fads go away completely and don’t come back. Plenty of historical examples.
A bubble is the result of hype, enthusiasm, and/or overconfidence in a sector. Usually after a bubble bursts, there are lots of losers and a few winners, then after a decade or so the market stabilizes.
LLMs are very useful in a limited number of applications, and so will go on being a part of society and probably end up as a pretty important market. However, OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic, Nvidia, etc. are all valued close to or above $1 trillion (not to mention the old players like Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft).
There is NO way that all of those companies will launch and maintain products that are more profitable than the GDP of most countries. Especially considering that they will be facing international competition from Baidu, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Yandex, etc.
That has not been true of any historic financial bubble. Almost ALL of them have been clearly identified in advance. However, the nature of financial bubbles is that there is lots of money to be made leading up to the burst.
Please learn a little history.
I didn’t say fad, I said bubble.
Do you genuinely think that all of these trillion dollar companies will suddenly become profitable, let alone enough to sustain the rapid level of infrastructure development?
Did the dotcom bubble result in billions of dollars of physical infrastructure in this way? Genuinely asking.
Bless you. I don’t know how to meme lol
Thank you.
I’ll stick with the games for now.
As I said, there have been reasonable updates and it seems that the dev is taking some care. Still, several of these projects really require some specialized knowledge. I wouldn’t trust my email to something that hasn’t been carefully built and checked by people who know their stuff.
