Similar to the crypto hype. Adoption is imminent, bro. Just a few more months, bro. Please, bro

TL;DR 640x480

This should be illegal. We had webcams like this 20 years ago. But Nintendo customers seem to enjoy outdated hardware. It’s a tradition at this point

I personally try to reverse smartphone usage. Got myself a dumbphone and try to use a computer for everything else. The reasoning behind this is, I want it to be a conscious decision to do internet things at a defined physical place, instead of mindlessly using the smartphone everywhere. This should encourage me to reconnect to the world around me.

I’m still in a transition phase though.

That’s an excellent idea, particularly because that service would use AI against the type of people who typically shill or welcome AI products. Let’s build more of those.

This is a train wreck from beginning to end, with only one winner: Trump.

It was stupid to call for an impeachment vote in the first place, because it had zero chance to succeed. It’s quite lame as a symbolic gesture too, because a failure is a failure in the books no matter what the intentions are. And you put your own party members in a position where they can only lose either way. This is terrible from a political strategy standpoint unless your explicit goal is to divide the party, which in turn weakens the party even more. A sad and unnecessary shit show all the way. The only hope left is that Trump dies laughing.

Taking a bath in style

Games worked for me on Kubuntu, but a lot of other things were seriously broken. Compositor/Desktop effects did not work at all, weird screen artifacts, Taskbar crashes, Discord lags terribly and has display problems. I don’t know, if that is going to be the new Desktop experience, we’re gonna have a problem.

Hello??

That’s a very long answer to my snarky little comment :) I appreciate it though. Personally, I find LLMs interesting and I’ve spent quite a while playing with them. But after all they are like you described, an interconnected catalogue of random stuff, with some hallucinations to fill the gaps. They are NOT a reliable source of information or general knowledge or even safe to use as an “assistant”. The marketing of LLMs as being fit for such purposes is the problem. Humans tend to turn off their brains and to blindly trust technology, and the tech companies are encouraging them to do so by making false promises.

Well, they are quite bad from a UI/accessibility perspective. While looking nice and fancy, it can be difficult to read the contents and makes it harder to identify information. That’s totally fine as an optional feature for those who like it, but the default should be a clean and easily accessible design.

It’s funny how people always quickly point out that an LLM wasn’t made for this, and then continue to shill it for use cases it wasn’t made for either (The “intelligence” part of AI, for starters)

We had transparent UI elements before and decided they were shit. Am I the only one still alive to remember?

Hier im Ort hat es nach der Ahrtal-Flut zwei Jahre gebraucht um eine wesentlich kleinere aber wichtige Fußgängerbrücke über ein Nebengewässer wieder aufzubauen. Schnelle unbürokratische Hilfe nennt man das wohl. Ich finde es gut, wenn Menschen dann selbst ans Werk gehen um Wege wieder nutzbar zu machen.

The tragedy about suppressing peoples opinions on Palestine: You can silence people by calling them antisemitic at the slightest critique of what Israel is doing in Gaza, but you won’t sway their opinions. Suppressing an open discussion about the topic is what fuels antisemitism, which is then brewing in silence.

I recently found my first mobile phone model in a museum. I know the feeling.

TBH I can wait for these fucks to find out that their kindergarden approach to programming won’t work. I’ll charge a premium to fix their shit later.

You missed something important in that list, in typical incel fashion.

What year is it?

and got a promotion for it

You can just use powershell. It’s that easy. /s
