A plastic macbook lookalike with no ports, a mobile phone OS, a 1366x768 display and probably the cheapest SoC they can scrounge from the parts bin. This thing, like all other google/android products, will be DOA, and the ones actually

tbh, it still isn't economically feasible. spacex 'cheated' to achieving reuse by just making the the entire plumbing and engine assembly bolt-on to the lower stage on F9 and they just replace that every time one is 'reu

Does this mean we can finally be done with the farce of pretending that Wayland is a serious contender for replacing X11?

It was publicly released in 2013 and you can enable it with -vr in args IIRC. Not sure if it would work with modern VR hardware since steamvr wasn't a thing back then.

This doesn't surprise me. Google still refuses to fix basic bugs in the distribution of android used in pixel devices. The alarm bug (where alarms will not work for days/weeks at a time, randomly) has existed since the pixel 1 and

I have no clue how you're drawing that conclusion. The lightning connector is indisputably more durable than USB-C and failures of lightning ports outside of extreme abuse is pretty much unheard of.

They’re being forced to remove games that are essentially anime CSAM. Payment processors shouldn’t need to be stepping up, but these platforms don’t bother to curate or moderate content so their hands are being forced.

there are already hundreds, if not thousands of anime lolicon porn games on steam. the people making a stink about this know this but are pretending that they don't because it would overtly out them as pedophiles.

It is a shame that it takes payment processors to get Valve to do even the bare minimum curation of their store. IMO the thousands of outright bad games and ai slop asset flips and weirdo porn that verges on outright illegal content in many

This is ridiculous and unnecessary. I can always pay cash or swipe a card at a gas pump, why not the same at an EV charger? This is something that doesn't need to be changed.

No, what you're seeing here is that the underlying model was trained with private repo data from github en masse - which would only have happened if MS had provided it in the first place. MS also never respected this in the first place

by Shekelphile 1y ago
Yes. Opt-outs like that are almost never actually respected in practice. And as the OP shows, microsoft is intentionally giving away private repo access to outside actors for the purpose of training LLMs.

So they've fully capitulated and just copied Apple's UI/UX fully now. Why exactly would anyone buy an android when you get UX that is a poorly made clone of the real thing, much worse battery life (despite batteries on mid-ra

Grok could capture the entire 'market' and OpenAI would never feel it, because all grok is under the hood is a giant API bill to OpenAI.

It's the opposite, actually. This place has always been owned and operated by a musk crony. Musk only got his paws on reddit recently, and has barely had any success besides getting the admins to shut down r/cyberstuck. Here on HN

They will throw people who criticize the government into work camps and use being deported to the CECOT death camp as a threat to keep them productive and compliant.
