Technology@lemmy.world•The AI Revolution Could Usher In a New Age of StagnationEnglish
61·5 days agoWe absolutely have the resources to solve those distribution issues, there just isn’t an economic incentive to allocate them that way.
I can absolutely see this. Viewers are expecting something new every time they check your page. If you aren’t active for a week they may stop checking.
He’s a bit tankie but not that tankie

Technology@lemmy.world•Google unveils TurboQuant, a new AI memory compression algorithm — and yes, the internet is calling it ‘Pied Piper’English
4·1 month agoNeither are true, Micron has been plummeting since their earnings report on the 18th. This might have caused a small dip but it’s nothing compared to the cliff they just fell off of.

Steam@lemmy.ml•Steam added the option to attach hardware specs when writing or updating a Steam User Review
1·2 months agoUsually just from trying to max out what they have without replacing sticks. I had 80gb for a while when I added 2 32GB sticks to my 8GBx2 setup. I eventually removed the two 8GB sticks due to stability issues.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Most of the world doesn’t require a prescription for birth control. Why do Canadians still need one?
32·3 months agoTLDR is basically: Estrogen based pills have inherent risks that the regulatory boards believe require monitoring. Non estrogen pills could probably get nonprescription status but it would require an expensive trial process which the producers don’t think is worth it.

Canada@lemmy.ca•After Trump threatens 100% tariffs, Carney posts ad saying Canada's focused 'on what we can control'
17·3 months agoThis is exactly why the deal with China is happening. Europe caved the first time and the US came right back with more demands. Canada isn’t having it anymore.
I’ve yet to see any of the English haters point out a real (not engineered) language that’s more functional. Every language has it’s own pitfalls, in its amalgamation of other popular world languages English bridges over many of them.

Technology@lemmy.world•The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory pricesEnglish
17·4 months agoCXMT has ddr5 manufacturing capabilities but it will be years before they scale it, and they’re embargoed by the US, so nobody on good terms with the US can get it.
And yes, they would also sell to the enterprise customers, but it would lower prices overall.
A red delicious would have the same effect.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases
1·4 months agoNot that surprising when most of top played titles are evergreen esports which came out years ago.

Technology@lemmy.world•It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic FindsEnglish
7·4 months agoThey’ve been doing it since the start. OAI was fear mongering about how dangerous gpt2 was initially as an excuse to avoid releasing the weights, while simultaneously working on much larger models with the intent to commercialize. The whole “our model is so good even we’re scared of it” shtick has always been marketing or an excuse to keep secrets.
Even now they continue to use this tactic while actively suppressing their own research showing real social, environmental and economic harms.
I use this for it’s ability to simulate brightness levels lower than what the system will allow normally.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]English
1·6 months agoIt’s the HDMI forum’s fault, they won’t allow amd to add HDMI 2.1 support to their Linux driver. It’s very possible that the hardware itself does support 2.1.

Technology@lemmy.world•New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public OpinionEnglish
20·6 months agoThis is fairly harmless compared to the government trolls. Pretty much every Canada related subreddit has been dealing with a slurry of xenophobic posts from brand new accounts with hidden post history. The better subreddits quickly ban or lock them but several let them go as they reinforce the moderator’s own worldview. Not even the Costco Canada subreddit is safe.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Don't fix the problem just change the parameters
62·6 months agoNo, it’s a meme made for older generations to feel superior to the younger generations. I’ve never met anyone who couldn’t read analog (who wasn’t very early primary school age).
“Luddite” as a diminutive persisting to the modern day is a testimate to the power of corporate propaganda, even 200 years ago.




There are human rights concerns in almost every product we import, this is a weird spot to draw the line.
