How can a word interpolation machine do anything on it’s own? Do they mean some script that feeds LLM things and then does things based on what it spews back? Who’s responsible for that script?

I’m going to try it on my ThinkPad X250 this weekend. I managed to install Gentoo with a handbook printout 25 years ago. This can’t be that much harder or am I in for a rough surprise?

Before I refreshed it there were 4 flagged commits, all from September 1st. Since then there was one new LLM-assisted commit so it looks like the rate is decreasing.

Do those two commits count as “increasingly”?

No mention of 120hz or VRR, meh.

Excellent technical effort from Atlus as usual.

Not sure what’s so controversial about postulating there’s multiple kinds of autisms, likely with different etiologies.

I lean towards believing that calling autism a spectrum is a bit of an oversimplification which streamlined diagnosis of this heterogeneous condition, which is good, but also is going to hurt us in the long run because it makes the data on autism representative only of some averaged amalgamation.

Most of the software in use is feature-complete and the remaining worry is if it’s bug-free. Increasingly, the apps created with LLM assurance beg the question “who asked for this”.

There’s [email protected] which doesn’t have rules against posting non-physical objects but it’s probably as good as it’s going to get given how many users Fediverse has.

The only way to disable it involves workarounds like changing Siri language to some other non-supported region. This is pretty much mandatory with no opt-out otherwise.

My devices can’t run Apple AI because Apple thinks they can strongarm EU into deregulation by withholding it from us. Joke’s on them, it’s a feature and not a bug.

More like catching up to TikTok because it’s the only real threat to YouTube these days.

This rage bait would be better if the battery charge was below 10%. Brave Browser is a nice touch tough.

I’m not really interested in discussing this particular video because at some point we’d be arguing about what words mean. I’m ranting about what GN became because this is not the first time they rely on sensationalism too much in their work.

See, this is like when there is a war and people start reporting things they see on Flight Radar. There’s nothing to put your finger and say - this is untrue. It’s just that a lot of normal stuff is being presented as suspicious. I linked a blog post going through GN claims few days ago that goes into detail but was dogpiled by people who needed their existing beliefs reconfirmed by a random internet video. I don’t need to make up things to hate on big tech and corpos, they give me enough reasons already.

Yes. I’ve also seen plenty of his videos and I was subscribed for years until they ran out of things to cover due to current market conditions. Steve is not equipped to cover this kind of stuff unfortunately. He is equipped for testing audio equipment though - what became of that setup? I haven’t seen it mentioned ever again after showing it off couple of times.

Steve is LARPing investigative journalism* and jumped on fairly benign stuff without understanding what half of it does and claimed it was spying. His main problem is that without knowing what’s normal you can’t tell what is suspicious. Hope he’s got enough money for lawyers since LG has a solid defamation case on hands.

* I dare anyone to say going to front desk at random Nvidia branch / office and asking for someone to provide a comment is normal behaviour of someone who knows how things work.

I’m still boycotting Peter Jackson over Tom Bombadil. Fans forgave it because battle of Helm’s Deep was expanded from 5 pages to 2 hours of awesome action and they skipped on most of the poems so that people could stay awake through the movies.

There are merits to Apple adaptation of Foundation that Isaac Asimov couldn’t ever do in the books. Like how much eye candy Lee Pace is. Have you seen his abs? And that voice. I want to have children with him and I’m a guy.

I treat adaptation as their own works, saves me grief of comparing things that are meant to be different because different mediums work differently. For things like Foundation or Wheel of Time it could be this or nothing at all because it’s not feasible to adapt 1:1, stay in a sane budget and attract viewers to make it profitable.
