...and not in the parameters of the LLM," Andrulis said.
This.
Yet, an awful lot of "other people's money" is wasted by speculants on the premise that statistical 'prediction' of next word of a given sequence is the magic answer to _everything_. Well, some may even know that it's bollocks, but they hope to cash in before the crash.
Can't help but feel they'll be a tad busy trying to convert 25yrs worth of kludges and 'business critical' processes into an entirely new platform.
True that, but the end result depends on the contractor. There are good ones, who can manage it, overshadowed however by the mass of the usual suspects, like Accidenture, who are prone to send - and bill - a legion of newbies to upskill themseleves by breaking things and learn from the wreckages.
And S/4HANA is not entirely a new platform, ECC code base is still there, mostly used - including the Utilities industry solution. It depends on how the custom development was made (modifications or not), and how the integration to non-SAP applications was done (since some older technologies might have been deprecated).
Did I get it right? One must convey something in one sentence, but it's not Up-to-Standards (TM), so one uses LLM to repack it into two pages of hallucinated fluff, which no sane human could possibly read, therefore their managesrs have to use LLM to hallucinate a "summary" out of the drivel. Hmm, what could possibly go wrong?
But I think that the distinguished commentard noted that there seems to be no standard El Reg unit of measure for power output, as "Watt" is for strivers... Humble us, who come here regularly, expect something along the lines of "how much ant-power it delivers?" or "how many such diamonds are required to run Crysis in Full-HD, 4xAA, 120 FPS?".

Ah, the memories... "Your sound card works perfectly" (3x) -> "Enjyoing yourself?" --> "It doesn't get ANY better than this!!!"
Yes, please bring back the original Trackball Explorer (palm-operated ball, thumb-clicked). After more than a decade using one, stupid me managed to break it (in a fit of MS software-induced rage) a few years ago. Not the first victim of such, unfortunately, but this time THE irreplaceable one.
Starting this onth you see in Sinsheim the new acquisition - the retired "U17" U-Boot, recently acquired from Bundeswehr, and transported last month from Speyer to Sinsheim via Rhein, Neckar and then a convoluted road route (convoluted, naturally, due to the specialities of the cargo - 350 t, ca 50x5x9 metres). The very detailed trip log can be read here https://u17.technik-museum.de/de/u17-live/ (German, but no problem for your onlione translator of choice) - and all "live" videos can be re-watched from there as well.
I had the pleasure to meet the beast "in person", while it rested near the Heidelberg Old Bridge.
