Is that 3DS jailbroken? If not, you totally should.

Ymal Markup Ain’t Language

Come on. Be realistic. Chrome has 70% browser market share and people are already used to tacking “Reddit” onto the end of their search queries to find useful information. If anything this will have no effect besides steering people towards Google.

LLMs are predictive associative token algorithms

Ah, so they produce parts of words instead of whole words at a time. Totally different.

with a degree of randomness and self reflection.

And they’re hooked up to random number generators so if you give it the same input twice you’ll get different output. Totally makes it smarter.

A key aspect is that anything can be a token

…much like predictive text. Rarely will you find one that doesn’t suggest punctuation on occasion.

they can self feed their own output

…much like predictive text.

as well as output control input for other algorithms.

Oh, so you can tell it to suggest certain tokens more or less often. How fancy.

It remains to be seen whether the core of human intelligence is much more than that.

I mean, I’d say the ability to visualize things and reason about scenarios it hasn’t experienced before are a good start.

Bit by bit Proton is slowly becoming Brave

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see what has already happened to streaming services happen to search engines!

Where did I say that? Of course we should vote blue. But let’s not delude ourselves into thinking they already agree with us on issues we’re going to have to protest for.

in answer to your question, this leak is almost certainly fake

I tried to visit the site again when I saw your comment and discovered the DNS record had disappeared between when I wrote that comment and now. Fascinating. It must have been taken down and the change took a while to propagate. Judging by the fact that I could see anything at all before my ISP’s nameserver got the memo, the 404 page that was there seems to still be up even though the DNS record that got you to it is gone – wish I had thought to nslookup it when I still could. If I had to take a guess, though, it probably resolved to the same IP address as the twitter.okta.com domain.

Odd. I get a full fledged HTML 404 page.

are you absolutely positive the democrats give a shit about antitrust regulations? Biden did actively strike break.

Signage TVs are good for this. They’re designed to run 24/7 in store windows displaying advertisements or animated menus, so they’re a bit pricey, and don’t expect any fancy features like HDR, but they’ve got no smarts whatsoever. What they do have is a slot you can shove your own smart gadget into with a connector that breaks oug power, HDMI etc. which someone has made a Raspberry Pi Compute Module carrier board for, so if you’re into, say, Jellyfin, you can make it smart completely under your own control with e.g. libreELEC. Here’s a video from Jeff Geerling going into more detail: https://youtu.be/-epPf7D8oMk

Alternatively, if you want HDR and high refresh rates, you’re okay with a smallish TV, and you’re really willing to splash out, ASUS ROG makes 48" 4K 10-bit gaming monitors for around $1700 US. HDMI is HDMI, you can plug whatever you want into there.

I’m willing to pay extra for software that isn’t

I would suggest ddns.net if they hadn’t irrevocably eaten two of my domains already (when the client software doesn’t check in, the domain disappears from your account, but they don’t get marked as available so no other account can filch them)

Hard disagree

Idk what it has that a DualSense (PS5 controller) doesn’t

^{say what you will about sony but god DAMN that controller is good}

…please tell me it’s one of those apps that stores the identity on the device.

love the mission and the message, but if i know anything about how things like this go, what it is, is about to die

EDIT: yeah, their about page says they “filter out generative AI images” without even mentioning how. never mind that with the rate the AI field is advancing, no algorithm for doing that works for more than a couple of months. no word at all on how or even if the photos users upload are going to be protected from scraping.

i hate to be a cynic, i do, and i can’t wait for this to age poorly but $20 says the website won’t even last a year

Well first off, if you’re building a NAS, build it out of drives that are rated for NAS use. Seagate’s IronWolf line is a bit pricier than their BarraCuda but has better transfer speeds and (more importantly) better resiliency to vibration, which is important if you’re putting a half dozen drives in the same enclosure and don’t want them to fail prematurely.
