To me that's semantics. If I had an app, I'd have to pay Apple whatever they want to charge in order to get access to one part of all mobile phone users and Google whatever they want to charge in order to get access to…
It's not just business - it's basically a monopoly. Enough to extract rent while providing a minimal service. Imagine if all streets were owned by two large companies who charged you enough to use them that you'd be…
Am I glad I blocked my CX from 2020 very early from accessing the internet! Looked into rooting - my old firmware would be ideal, but other than a native ambient lighting tap I don't really see anything worth my time.…
Depends on your habits. I don't re-watch most of the movie I see.
Depends on what those $12 "buy" me. In Sony's case, "buying" meant "renting until Sony's license expires", which they could have displayed on the product page. I very rarely re-watch movies within a few months. So if I…
Especially as someone outside the US, building a startup on AI sounds like a bad idea. Some AI company fails to pay their bribes on time, or your country doesn't cede territory to the US president, the AI gets yoinked…
My current solution to this is to write more text. I guess I'm more in product design now. Instead of code I write documents with significantly less structure. I write something, ask the AI to find angles / decisions I…
From what I read it's mostly a credit score and blacklist system. In the 2010s there was a project to use it to reward and punish people for some everyday stuff based on whether it did or didn't align with the party's…
That pot&kettle contest between the US and China is really heating up! You might want to switch from "social credit" (which was a failed local project from over a decade ago) to "blacklist", or just criticize the…
I have a theory that the modern world would not exist without it.
Also, is it "paying for the brand" or "paying for the training"?
I think it's a use case that identity/authorization/permission models are simply not made for. Sure, we can ban users and we can revoke tokens, but those assume that: 1. Something potentially malicious got access to our…
For that they used their Warhammer 80k figurines
Once they "reach AGI", will they have a big party on a carrier with a "Mission Accomplished" banner?
That's good news. Hope the kids fight for some basic worker's rights.
As divided as the US is right now, there's a bunch of things like this that every American seems to agree on without even realizing that it's not the same in most of the world. For example, "work ethic". Correct me if…
Exactly, same as all real-world computers. Although to be fair, nothing above regular (that I'm aware of, it's been a while) requires infinite space, just unlimited space... you can always make a real Turing machine as…
I don't think anyone would be investing `billions and billions` into AI if their endgame wasn't putting an expert salesperson right in front of every human in the world. Someone who knows all about them and who can not…
I get that transforming a bunch of facts into prose is boring. As a reader, I can't get over the fact that I'm supposed to read a text that nobody could be bothered to write. I wonder how often we waste energy nowadays…
If Windows keeps going in this direction, I will try again. But in the past 20 years I tried using Linux on the desktop a couple of times. It always ends the same way - out of the blue it refuses to boot. Of course…
That's what I said too, and the answer was "No, just because it cannot be decrypted today does not mean it cannot be decrypted in the future. The data must be deleted"
Same - replaced my smaller Synology with a UGREEN, put TrueNAS on it first thing, runs great. The HDD thing was only the final nail in the coffin, but before that, there were plenty of ridiculous "upgrades" that made…
Once in a while I save ~10 minutes by using AI. About as often as embarrassing myself by having to admit that my primary source was an AI while researching some topic. The main thing that changed is that the CTO is in…
Interesting that the bus bandwidth was such a bottleneck, when you could also argue it was VRAM. I never looked into why "Hardware transform&lighting" was introduced so late (I'm guessing it didn't fit on the die next…
True, local LLMs might be a better idea for this particular purpose. Most self-hosted services are generally a better idea, if you know what you're doing.
