Big AI bro wants to regulate AI industry so that only Big AI can exist in that space. Seeks to surreptitiously ban open weights models and similar competition from Western markets via complicated regulations and fines that only rich busines

It's because they view the LLM's output as "their thoughts." They told the LLM (via the prompt) what to do—often with loads of run-on sentences and long trains-of-thought. From their perspective, the LLM is just acting

I've come to trust their grammar corrections implicitly. So much that I've setup a "Fix Grammar" command with Obsidian Copilot that I'll just let it run on a whole chapter (YOLO mode): Proofread the following

If you can't tell if a text was modified by AI, then all accusations that a text was written by AI must be ignored. Not without strong evidence. Yet here we are: The mere accusation of a work being touched in any way by AI is all i

The "problem" is that people—the ones that actually care whether or not something was written by AI—don't just want to spot text that was generated by AI (like in your examples). They also want to spot text that was re-wri

If you don't manage the history properly in your SPA, pressing the back button could take the user out of the app entirely. If you don't let web developers manage history/state like this, we'd be going back to the ineffi

Windows uses Group Policy (which isn't particularly secure for many reasons) while Linux uses configuration files (e.g. udev, AppArmor, stuff in /etc like fstab) in conjunction with file permissions. However, you can go way fart

Firefox has /usr/lib/firefox/distribution/policies.json which lets the sysadmin lock down what users can do with the browser. Example: If you wanted to block all extensions except for a whitelist, you could control

On a Linux desktop you can lock down waaaaay TF more stuff than Group Policy allows. The only difference is you need a sysadmin that knows what they're doing . You can't just point and click a button that prevents users from

The time for regulatory action against Microsoft was thirty years ago and the need for it has only grown since then. The FTC wasn't doing their job between 1980-2020 because of their ridiculous standard of, "if it doesn't r

No. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish was replaced by the AAA strategy: Acquire, Assimilate, Abandon. They were trying to be more Google-like with that "Abandon" step I think. They've since moved on to the SSS strategy: Ship, S

China has a minimum purchase price of corn that's set by the government in order to maintain food stocks. It's also part of a larger jobs program (that I don't know much about). China also imports 80% of its soybeans which m

This assumes that these companies aren't going to use smaller providers or hosting models themselves. THAT is the great big assumption going into all the Big AI funding. I think it's a very, very bad assumption. After trying GLM

I use bullet points a lot in my writing and it seems that , specifically is causing people to accuse me of either: * Being an AI bot. * Using an LLM to generate it. It's driving me bonkers!

If this ends up being true, desktop Linux adoption might make inroads. Windows apps run like crap on ARM and no one is bothering to make ARM builds of their software.

I have a PC hooked up to my TV in my living room that has been running the latest version of Kubuntu for over 18 years now. It has had many upgrades in that time but it's still the same basic hardware: A CPU, some memory, USB ports,

I honestly think VR hasn't taken off yet because every VR headset since forever has been a locked-down platform or not a stand-alone device (meaning: You need a powerful PC to use it, which makes the cost too high for casual players).

> No one wants to wear a PC on their faces. This has yet to be determined! Because no VR headset so far has actually been a proper PC. You can't develop on them. You can't just install whatever TF you want. You have to us

They just used their war chest to buy a bunch of companies to diversify their revenue stream. It's not like Meta made some massively profitable innovations or new services.

Rumor is it that the focus of this new headset is AR. Not VR. So once again they're making a stupid business decision based on wishful thinking. Exec 1: "Surely, people will want to wear this headset all day while they work! Bec

Great big difference though: A dishwasher is a water-saving and energy-saving technology. Not saying LLMs are all bad, just that comparing them to dishwashers is probably not the best idea.
