The dots that are used for ID are ridiculously small tho

Well.... There is quite a bit of high precision manufacturing needed for the actual print heads... Something like a Dot Matrix straight from 1990s should be doable by people with appropriate CNC machines and shit, something like "Line Typers" (1950s-1970s automatic computer operated type writers) are manageable if you can precision mold metals

But an ink jet or laser jet? Naw big dawg that shit is complicated as fuck

If you can somehow manufacture the ink head, an ink jet printer is like 2 step motors and one really complicated print head on rails

But ERP is not a cool buzzword, hence it can fuck off we're in 2025

You're misunderstanding tool use, the LLM only queries something to be done then the actual system returns the result. You can also summarize the result or something but hallucinations in that workload are remarkably low (however without tuning they can drop important information from the response)

The place where it can hallucinate is generating steps for your natural language query, or the entry stage. That's why you need to safeguard like your ass depends on it. (Which it does, if your boss is stupid enough)

The model ISN'T outputing the letters individually, binary models (as I mentioned) do; not transformers.

The model output is more like Strawberry

Tokens can be a letter, part of a word, any single lexeme, any word, or even multiple words ("let be")

Okay I did a shit job demonstrating the time axis. The model doesn't know the underlying letters of the previous tokens and this processes is going forward in time

No, this literally is the explanation. The model understands the concept of "Strawberry", It can output from the model (and that itself is very complicated) in English as Strawberry, jn Persian as توت فرنگی and so on.

But the model does not understand how many Rs exist in Strawberry or how many ت exist in توت فرنگی

Broadcom management deserve gulag

For usage like that you'd wire an LLM into a tool use workflow with whatever accounting software you have. The LLM would make queries to the rigid, non-hallucinating accounting system.

I still don't think it would be anywhere close to a good idea because you'd need a lot of safeguards and also fuck your accounting and you'll have some unpleasant meetings with the local equivalent of the IRS.

This is because auto regressive LLMs work on high level "Tokens". There are LLM experiments which can access byte information, to correctly answer such questions.

Also, they don't want to support you omegalul do you really think call centers are hired to give a fuck about you? this is intentional

You do realize how data science works, right? The data is cleared by a human team before it is fed to a model, the data is also normalized and processed by some criteria, etc.

Also if you hold some seriously high value data, if I was designing the system, I'd make it flag your system for more advanced visual retrieval (you can let a multimodal LLM use a website like a human user with tool use)

If you just want to stop scrapers use Anubis why tf are you moving your own goalpost?

Also if your website is trash enough that it gets downed by 15,000 requests you should either hire a proper network engineer or fire yours like wtf man I made trash tier Wordpress websites that handled magnitudes more in 2010

EDIT: And stop using PHP in the case of ScummVM. Jesus Christ this isn't 2005
