Would be curious what the power draw is (in use or idle).

Or start competing with you.

You don't want to compile code over SMB, even on a fast network. And what happens when you travel with patchy internet access? I use syncthing to a NAS, and the syncthing data being backed up by the NAS along everything else it contain

Less hard these days. AI is a game changer for learning new technologies. It's like having a highly paid expert available to answer all your questions about your little USB backup. Makes learning how to use properly a new software triv

But a malware will scan for anything that looks like some credentials on your machine. So if you have a script with clear credentials backing up to a ftp server, the malware will go after the backup. At the end of the day it depends on what

I don't particularly like the idea of my relatives sneaking into my files when I am dead. I destroyed all my father's files when he passed to respect his privacy.

Anything that requires manual work will inevitably fail as a backup strategy in my opinion. You might not need that backup now, while you actively think about it, but in 4 years, when you had other problems to deal with and haven't don

Does code also get watermarked? Surely you can't add non printable characters, except perhaps in comments?

Meanwhile insurance fraudsters love AI, and its ability to manipulate photos!

Agree, and not just that, it allows to escape the hijack of your right click (something google does not tolerate), but they also degraded a lot the experience the last year or two. Number of modal dialog boxes every time it updates (and of

I don't think you should ban McDonald's because parents shouldn't be expected to not feed their kids McDonald's every day of the week.

Keep the parents in control. The nanny state isn’t a substitute for good parenting.

NATs are also firewalls. I think people forget that before NATs, when you would install Windows, the minute you connected it to the internet, you had to rush to update it before a virus would infect it. The OS of the 90s weren't secure

Excellent. From now on all kids will become linux natives. The decade of the linux desktop is coming!

This is also a political problem. Most of the debates about racism for instance are between people who are illiterate in term of basic statistics, on both sides of the debate. They take extreme tails of distributions as benchmarks, think in

What is strange is that even the best face recognition algorithms have false positive. So surely they must have planned for two unrelated customers resolving to the same embeddings.

Not sure what you are talking about. The negative sentiment isn't about hallucinations, it is about job replacement and high electricity cost.

Margins pre-AI were more like 5-15%. Even if the margin was 5%, if prices increased 5 times but product cost didn't move, then margins are now 80%. That's not a 30-40% product, your argument doesn't make any sense.

I think everyone is aware now that you don't build a fab by snapping your fingers, and you need to amortise it over many years. The said manufacturers are just out of a massive slump in demand during covid, when they were selling at a

You make it sound like the crunch is caused by manufacturers, my understanding is that it is caused by the abnormal demand. I am not aware that RAM production is at a historically low level.

by cm2187 29d ago
I don't understand the distinction you are making. If you have a massive excess of demand ready to pay any price, and a limited supply, of course the sellers will take advantage, that's how any market works. They can do that becau

It's the natural state of the UK political system. The PM has a (figurative) gun on his head constantly, and has to fight and defend his actions in parliament almost every day of the week. Keeps him on his toes and ensures that he gets

MCP servers everywhere rather. You automate your life with a bot, the bot interacts with the world through MCP servers (or their successor). The MCP servers themselves may have been implemented by bots but AI to AI is unnecessary wasteful.

The video quotes sales of $2.5 trillion a year to payoff those investments. What workforce you divide it by is a bit up in the air, but let's use 500 millions, which is basically 100% of the workforce of US + Europe + some change. That

I work for a large company and for any LLM I use professionally, whether programmatically or via a UI, I get to pick from a dropdown from Gemini, Claude, OpenAI and the open weight ones. We ain't locked in.

The real question is not whether there will be a market for AI, it is obvious that there will be one (as it was obvious the Internet was a gigantic thing in the dotcom boom). It is rather whether the value will be in the models (and if so i

Is this an AI generated video? The guy didn't blink an eye or moved the head more than one inch in 30 minutes!
