So what's the best among the bad, then?

Do they? I thought it explicitly says in Claude that it doesn't do that. And where does it say so for GPT? It's trained on older data, and does not pull up fresh information.

Thanks but I'm talking about web search specifically. Claude and OpenAI don't seem like they have web search capability at the moment.

I know of preplexity, Bing chat, web search on Poe, kagi. Not sure if Gemini 1.5 Pro uses search?

Would you guys recommend getting a subscription for GPT o1 or Poe? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Does it mean Llama does have that? And how does that affect the performance? I mean the thing about "no qualms about ethics"

What do you mean by that? Do you not recommend it?

Curious about what model is best to use on my RTX 3080 + Ryzen 5 3600 since I've just found out about this.

Thanks, I've done just that and installed it too! What's the best gpt4all LLM model or the model you'd recommend?

Thanks but why would you say it's superior to GPTo1?

Thanks for sharing, but it seems I don't have an idea of what I'd enjoy programming for yet. I'm looking to get into Data Science as a new career so it's more complicated to learn it in a fun mode 🙂

I'm looking to get my first subscription of a machine learning model and I've been using POE for a while but I'm not sure if paying for it would be better than paying for a GPT subscription. I almost never use them to generate images, mostly for help with my business and some programming.

I also want my wife to be able to use the same account when I start paying for it.

I'm not sure what the benefits of each are and which would outweigh.

Thanks a lot, great advice! Anything else you'd recommend apart from W3schools?

I've researched the topic and I understand that the general advice is that it's best to learn on your own. However, I'd like to see Lemmy's recommendations regarding websites where you can book programming (Python/R) sessions with a personal tutor online, ideally if you have used the service yourself. I mostly need it to maintain my motivation and learn regularly instead of sporadically.

Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Never met an American who wants to "talk about work" out here. They all prefer to keep their free time work-discussion free.

What's the easiest way to update bios on my Ubuntu laptop without a USB? (lemm.ee)

As a lifelong Windows user I've just for the first time switched to Ubuntu and I'm learning how to navigate the system but I haven't found an easy way to update my Carbon's X1 Gen 6 BIOS from its hard disk and would appreciate any advice.

I'd be also happy to hear what I should do as a newcomer to Ubuntu to make my experience with it better and have an easier time overall.

Help needed making voice typing work in Ubuntu (lemm.ee)

I've just recently transitioned from Windows to Linux as a lifelong user and I can't for the life of me find a way to type with my voice. Ive tried some scripts and apps but I couldn't make it work after trying for a few days straight.

I mostly need it in Firefox but it'd be nice to have it systemwide.

I'm using ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 so Whisper AI is out of question as it requires a graphics card.

What could you recommend?

What would you recommend: T480; Carbon X1 Gen 6; Or Dell 7480? (lemm.ee)

I need a portable laptop to:

have a lot of online quality video calls
type a lot during each meeting
have a ton of browser tabs open
have a few CPU-demanding apps running at the same time

I will use this laptop as my main PC.

I'm also considering:

T480s
Carbon X1 Gen 7-8
Dell 7490

Recommendations on a quality clip on NC microphone? (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 months ago by SurpriZe@lemm.ee to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

17 comments fedilink

I have to work in very noisy environments such as near construction sites, near very loud music or highways, and due to the nature of my job I need to be in a lot of online meetings.

I need a clip microphone with a really good noise cancellation feature that would filter all of the noise out leaving only my voice.

Any recommendations? I've found Hollyland Lark M2 but it seems it lets a lot of noise through anyway.

Is a used ThinkPad Carbon X1 Gen 6 worth it for $400? (lemm.ee)

I'm looking to replace my tower PC with a mobile option (only strictly for work, no gaming or video editing).

And I've found an online shop that sells ThinkPads: they are selling this FHD (no HDR) i7-8650U, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage used laptop (X1 Gen 6) for 400 usd and I'm wondering if you guys would recommend it.

They offer a 3-month warranty.

They also have a 310usd i5-8350U, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage option, in case this sounds like a better deal (also used and no HDR); and a 345usd i5-8350U, 16GB RAM, 512GB one.

I've looked far and wide and it seems like all shops here sell these at the same price.

This is all in Vietnam and here I cannot use Amazon/eBay etc.
