  • This doesn't make sense because the reverse would be true, and it's not. If they were so different an explosion in server demand wouldn't strongly affect consumer products.

  • Sam Altman Says Oops, They Accidentally Made the New Version of ChatGPT Worse Than the Previous One

    Jump

  • AI such as Deep Blue was able to outperform humans at a specific tasks because humans wrote the algorithms.

    This isn't true of modern game-playing AI like Alpha-Go or recent Stockfish versions. These learn by playing against themselves over billions of games, and the strategies they develop aren't guided by human input. These kinds of results aren't achieved by LLM bots because there's no equivalent to "winning the game" in a chatbot conversation that can easily be rewarded automatically.

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • Irfanview is honestly a huge loss, I'm honestly shocked I haven't been able to find something even close to comparable.

  • Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?

    Jump

  • Even returning to JVM languages would be huge over the current js based electron slop. Things are so bad "optimized software" doesn't need to mean C++ or Rust.

  • The Dynamicland website reminds me of the worst of the 00's, it really turned me off to the whole project

  • Gitea 1.25.0 | 3D file previews, improved archive downloads, enhanced authentication, and more security, API and workflow upgrades like automatic repo forking and email notifications for actions

  • Sourcehut is really the only step between just using an ssh server and something like forgejo that I know of.

  • How do you lure your kids off iPhones?

    Jump

  • Never had as bad an experience with Linux as on a Macbook, and that includes Dell laptops in the early '10s. Sound doesn't work, sleep doesn't work either. Beyond that the keyboard is screwed up and double types all the time, which is totally unreasonable on a laptop ~5 years old.

  • Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggests

    Jump

  • Especially when most games that've come out this year run like shit, and a new graphics card is nearly a rent payment

  • YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin.

  • Is there anything for all the "subscribe to newsletter" popups on news sites and online stores?

  • technically libreoffice exists, they really need to fix office comparability though

  • Rust drivers expected to become more common in Linux kernel

    Jump

  • I think this is the most important aspect of Linux accepting more rust contributions. More and more existing maintainers are aging out, and people just don't learn or want to build large applications in C anymore. From what I understand companies doing proprietary kernel development have largely made the rust transition for new code at this point, so fewer and fewer systems level programmers will be used to C (and C++ over time) for these tasks. Existing maintainers pressure against rust development could become a threat to the long term viability of the kernel.

  • While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

    Jump

  • No, because section 230 has been in effect since long before those companies existed. The law removes liability from companies who decide to moderate user content. If it were repealed they'd have to stop moderation or face liability. The Background and Passage Section on Wikipedia outlines the court cases that led to the law's creation.

  • While Democracy Burns, Democrats Prioritize… Demolishing Section 230?

    Jump

  • Blanket removing Section 230 does literally the opposite. Without it platforms are only liable for user generated content if they moderate it. before if a platform moderated content published by users, it would be considered a content publisher, like a newspaper or magazine, and would be liable for user generated content. If they didn't moderate they would be considered a content distributor, like a bookstore, which isn't liable for the content of the material they distribute. So repealing it means any website with user generated content would effectively be required to operate like 4chan or Usenet.

  • Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history

    Jump

  • It seems like since my generation had "If you put something on the Internet it'll be there forever" drilled into us as kids, many of us feel entitled to "the internet" preserving our data for us. Most people don't realize how much labor and resource usage goes into preserving data forever.

  • Idk about Amsterdam, but in a lot of places half of a comparable rent might be his whole mortgage, depending on how long he's owned the property.

  • What's your setup for self hosting? Do you use a vps or host on your own network?

  • What is everyone using as a HTPC?

    Jump

  • I feel like I did at one point, but I should probably try again

  • What is everyone using as a HTPC?

  • Yeah I'm not super surprised... It used to work well when I bought it back in '17 but it's become worse and worse with updates.

  • I'm not a home theater power user, but this is good info to make sure my setup is future proof for when I finally get a new TV. All these different standards get really confusing.
