With the peoples' dependency on gmail (and maybe other services like drive) I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to tie the same account to a Google's AI product that may or may not get them banned for asking something inno

What the article and some of the comments are missing is one of the reasons behind applying the penalties. The prevention. Chatbots, no matter how much autonomy of action they possess, can’t die, or spend the majority of their life in priso

It's as if Microsoft decided that people who haven't already left Windows either have no choice or just don't care, so they will tolerate everything. Microsoft is not wrong

It doesn’t really work like that. The companies which have the will and the budget to host their own LLMs typically require a ton of other, much smaller, models as well. They have internal security requirements, guardrails, audit, critical

That depends on the workload. When buying for on-prem inference, MI355x is quite capable. It still requires a ton more ops time, not every dc handles it cooling-wise, and you have to be careful with the model selection, but when it fits, it

Lots of games’ updates break popular mods, introduce launchers and/or break linux compatibility and/or online mode, remove music with expired licenses, censor something and increase system requirements. Sadly we’re way past the po

Well Sony is actively working on that problem- the plebs in these internet-starved countries won’t be playing anyway, as with no optical drive in the future ps6 users are going to be tied to PSN which isn’t available on half the planet. Jok

It is completely fair to expect at least B1 from potential citizens and permanent residents. What the article is covering are the skilled workers, and for them B1 isn't nearly enough to function in any profesional capacity. I'd pu

>>if all I need is shelter for a day, would I necessarily care whether it lasts more than a week An interesting choice of a metaphor here. If I needed a shelter for a day, I would have bought (or rented) a nice tent. Or booked a room

Unless you don’t intend to age, you too will become old and sick. As will, hopefully, almost everyone else. How is it wealth redistribution when most people will start as recipients, then move to being the donors and will then become the re

I would have agreed that making teenagers read way above their (life) experience level may scare some off of returning to the same books after growing up, but am not so sure anymore. Most adults don't read period - if not for the schoo

My bad- support is too wide of a term, and I meant it in a sense that Valve is quick to respond when their hardware stops working. I got my deck fixed after the warranty period, for example, with very little fuss. They even payed for the s

For the inevitable minisforum machines comparisons - it's not as bad for Valve as it seems. You can't just add a dedicated GPU to a cheap miniPC with an integrated graphics- power delivery and airflow will have to be different, a

It was really easy to tell which is which for the vocals. On the other hand, the only sample in which I didn't hear ANY difference is Ennio Morricone's, to the point where I couldn't really tell it apart from its 56kbit/

A truly fascinating part is that feature and quality-wise EGS is still, after years of development, miles behind Steam. Epic likely has talented devs and clearly invests a lot of money into all of this, but it took them years to finally imp

Apart from all the other things everyone mentioned, wired headphones never really become technically obsolete. I can still connect my 15-year-old pair of headphones to a laptop, and they work just fine. Sure, I swapped cushions a couple of

The kids tend to hang out with the kids of their parents' friends, with the neighbours' kids. A bit later in life, when in school, we find friends among the classmates, who too aren't usually all that similar to us. Maybe whe

Actually it does work for those invite-only trackers, especially in niche fields. Unlike most public trackers which are either dead or on a life-support, member-only and invite-only sites are still kicking. And you are personally responsibl

But they kind of are (a cult band). Most people in the world know Metalica while hardly anyone ever heard any of the Sisters Of Mercy's tracks. Normal people don't care- they just enjoy a ballad or two. I've long since learnt

I didn't state that Ars Technica specifically mandate LLM use for their authors. What I did state about them is that their editorial standards are lacking, and they tend to produce a lot of clickbait. IMO the industry is in crisis

I'ts an open secret that even the larger news outlets mandate LLM use. They buy subscriptions and have guidelines on how to mask the output (so that it would read less AI'ed), how to fact-check the links and the quotes etc. The a

The idea of practicing these random interactions is also to get accustomed to rejections from the assholes. After all, they aren’t the majority- most people are actually quite nice and often appreciate a company (or will politely tell you t

3rd party keyboards are frequently banned from some of the bank apps, delivery services and so on. This way you have to keep the default one anyway and make even more typos when yet another app forces you to get back to Apple’s keyboard. I
