Double-ended USB A cables were popular in the 2000s/early 2010s for powering external hard drives or USB DVD drives.

USB B cables are also notoriously sensitive and the slightest damage can result in malfunctions. Went through this recently with a PreSonus AudioBox.

OpenAI and Anthropic needs to get their act together. These are incidents that end companies.

This feature will not make it to release. Just like Recall, it's completely DOA.

We don’t need this nonsense. The author doesn’t actually know that for certain.

"A batter you can't outrun" actually the gen 1 Pebble from literally 2013 still runs circles around this thing.

I don't use LLMs for coding aside from minor suggestions. They've also gotten far worse in quality in the past year (GitHub Copilot especially. It went from "oh this has promise" to "I could hire a 12 year old to do

The statement becomes very true and very real once LLMs are applied to physical objects in the physical realm such as anthropomorphic robots. LLMs are too weak security-wise to be contained.

This article says nothing. In practice, operationally, none of this is solved. Every website/app/platform handles logins differently. Some are still doing SMS 2FA, some still do passwords, some implemented passkeys in the wrong wa

And AI companies are stealing and destroying all the books. Thanks Silicon Valley!

They're having fun asking a robot to make a picture when they could have learned to make it themselves. It's incredibly depressing.

GrapheneOS is also saying some suspicious stuff on Mastodon in which they are failing the vibe check. They are suddenly very AI obsessed, which is the antithesis of their platform. I would recommend being very careful with them.

You still wrote it, processed it in your brain, and reasoned about it. With an LLM you do zero of those things. I don't understand how you don't get that.

Every chat bot has this problem. If you don't tell it to respond tersely and without conversation, it will waste a billion tokens giving you a 5 paragraph manifesto of rambling and useless redundant information.

Same. It started on Tumblr around 15 years ago when people were "self-diagnosing" themselves then it spiraled out of control. It really bothers me because I see a lot of of obviously-not-neurodivergent folks try to use it as an ex

> If you root or jailbreak your devices, you've, by their very nature, broken their security. Yeah no this is just incorrect. There's many cases where jailbreaking actually fixes issues when a vendor abandons the platform. It a

As an IT person, the way this email was written makes me feel like I'm having a stroke. This was Gates whining about nothing. Bill was in charge of MS at the time, he should not only have known how Windows works at this level (Dave Cut

LLMs are very limited and have finite usefulness. The idea of AGI is a grift.

by VCFundedGenYer 9d ago
AGI is a fake term and will never be a thing. Anyone suggesting it is actively contributing to the grift and their statements are to be completely disregarded.

I suggest things such as building an "offline room" like an 80s/90s living room setup complete with a thrifted CRT TV, old game consoles, VCRs, shag carpets, old lamps, woodgrain walls, physical books, instruction manuals, et

Finder is missing so many basic features that explorer.exe and Linux file managers have had standard for decades. Simple things like easily copying paths (and no, not with a weird keyboard shortcut nobody uses - a simple GUI method, prefera
