They have like a 5% market share. So in the big picture, almost no one uses Grok. But it's not nothing.

Think of it like one big distributed system. OpenAI is down, so people migrate to Claude, now this one gets overloaded and goes down, etc. So not a coincidence, one went down first and users migrated causing further DOS. At least that'

Lol, I quite like the show and considered watching it. But then thought other passengers on the plane might see it and become a bit unsettled by it. So last few times I opted for "To Catch A Smuggler". Still flight related but hop

I'd be insanely stressed about this. While at the same time realizing that logically it has flown for _years_ without incident afterwards.

Yes but you need to be sure it is an Oyster Mushroom in the first place.

Ads are part of the enshitification of ChatGPT. In the short-term it might offer them some kind of lifeline and I'm sure in their next investor call they'll highlight their revenue from Ads. But if their competitors (including ope

Trusting an LLM with a decision that can potentially be fatal is a good Darwin test I suppose. Sadly I don’t think the general populace understands that LLMs are unreliable. (And even people in tech can vastly overestimate the capabilities.

Guessing other countries will follow (France already did, and Germany was discussing it IIRC).

Steam Machine looks genuinely interesting, but the price is painful. Not their fault of course :(

+1 for Zen, it's a great browser. I've been using it for 1.5 years now and I'm loving the UI/UX.

I'm sure it's mostly Chrome and not Chromium that people hate.

by Insanity 15d ago
I'm holding on.. in a way. I've switched to Zen about a year ago after ~2 decades of Firefox. It's a fork of Firefox so I'm counting it as supporting Firefox anyway. However, on my iPhone and iPad I've stuck with Sa

Damn, that's a lot of magazines! Sorry, couldn't resist. Never got those as it was a bit before my time, I started coding in 2004'ish in EU and wasn't aware of 2600 until much later. Not sure if they ever moved digital?

If your sample set is Battle.net games, could be an issue with Battle.net. I've not tried any Battle.net games so can't compare with Nobara. I think we might both be dealing with a skewed sample set haha, given I only really playe

Yeah, I hadn't used Fedora-based distros for over a decade. I haven't ran into issues with Nobara, but I'm sure that if I do any LLM can help me debug/resolve them. Definitely lowers the barrier of entry for someone enti

Nobara Linux, which is based on Fedora. I used the "Gnome" installer rather than "official" because I still want a regular desktop experience. I've been on Linux for development since 2008 as well so I wanted an &qu

Yeah I guess the confusion is the overloaded term "work". It _runs_ on Linux, but it's not effective on any system.

I recently moved to Linux for gaming. Last time I tried was around 2008 and I guess I was reluctant to move gaming to Linux because that experience was far from smooth. Honestly, it's like magic that I can run "The Finals" on

Cool that you prefer Libby, but saying "use tool X instead" is not really a solution to wanting to use "tool Y". :D

You're right, Goodreads is owned by Amazon. Somehow didn't think about this, but they'd of course lock it down lol
51.
by Insanity 16d ago
Does it have Goodreads integration? Not that it'd be a dealbreaker for me to switch, but I do enjoy that it syncs my reading progress / library with Goodreads. Which is how me and my friends tend to share what we're reading

by Insanity 20d ago
Yeah it is, which is why I'm backing you up :P (Or well, generally about "underage" use of social media)

Nvidia really is best positioned to benefit from the AI wave. They are the main provider for GPUs to the cloud-based LLM companies, and their GPUs are still preferred for local models as well. So either way they win.

They didn't claim it's off-topic, but they're saying it's not related to age verification.. which it isn't.

If it's not rendering as intended across all browsers, I'd call that broken. If it renders as intended and just look bad, that's taste.

+1, I think the real reason that Cleopatra is still living in our common culture is mostly because of her association with Julius and Marcus Antonius, as well as of course proximity to Augustus. I don't think Sharespeare would have men

by Insanity 21d ago
one of those mind-boggling timeline comparisons I sometimes think about is Cleopatra and the Pyramids. The Giza pyramids were built around ~2600 years _before_ Cleopatra. And she's about 2000 years removed from us today. So to think th

I was talking about upgrading to another M-series device. I actually mentioned in the comment that you're replying to that I do run them locally on my desktop. And I run them off of an AMD card, 7900XTX. I'm not sure I'd cons

Not widespread but they were a thing. Rabid Neurosis started in 1996 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabid_Neurosis ), so only a year later.
