  • What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

    Jump

  • Immich might not hold up yet in every aspect to Google photos, but I was and am still blown away by how much better face detection and grouping works. I cannot believe how ridiculously bad that feature is in Google, you just have to pray that it works, and if it messes up, it's extremely annoying to fix. In immich, it works exactly as you'd expect.

  • not a capitalism problem per se, more like an government problem

    That's like saying "bleeding is not a stabbing problem per se, more like a bandages problem"

    Like, yeah, keeping a stockpile of bandages is probably a good idea just in case, but maybe we should prevent people from stabbing each other in the first place?

  • Privateigentum

    Dieser Begriff müsste echt mal geändert werden. Jemand, der sich mit der Materie nicht auskennt, würde nie auf die Idee kommen, dass "Privateigentum" etwas anderes meint als "Mein Handy, mein Auto". Ein Begriff den man immer erstmal erklären muss um nicht direkt auf tiefe Ablehnung gegenüber der falsch verstandenen Bedeutung zu stoßen ist einfach kein guter Begriff

  • Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought

  • "The planning thing in poems blew me away," says Batson. "Instead of at the very last minute trying to make the rhyme make sense, it knows where it’s going."

    How is this surprising, like, at all? LLMs predict only a single token at a time for their output, but to get the best results, of course it makes absolute sense to internally think ahead, come up with the full sentence you're gonna say, and then just output the next token necessary to continue that sentence. It's going to re-do that process for every single token which wastes a lot of energy, but for the quality of the results this is the best approach you can take, and that's something I felt was kinda obvious these models must be doing on one level or another.

    I'd be interested to see if there are massive potentials for efficiency improvements by making the model able to access and reuse the "thinking" they have already done for previous tokens

  • I like the color temperature and brightness of my lights responding to the time of day too much in order to go with smart switches over smart lights

  • "I asked them to delete my data, they said 'Install our app'"

    Jump

  • I think you're talking about the "data protection officer", not "data controller". The first one is a designated person within the company, the second one the company itself (at least for B2C software companies, usually)

    But also, be aware they might not have a BPO, depending on company size they might not need one

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

  • Huh? I'm streaming from my Jellyfin just fine when I'm on the go, with no tailscale or other VPN set up

  • Okay, different example. If a country dropped a couple of wounded soldiers without weapons over another country's territory, would you call that an invasion?

  • If someone threw the dead body of a robber into a store, would you also call that store being robbed?

  • Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - AVOID THEIR 3D PRINTERS!

    Jump

  • No, they didn't. They explicitly said that you're free to not upgrade for now in the announcement.

    They have a section in their TOS that says they can block you from using the printer if you don't upgrade, which sucks, but that is a generic clause, doesn't mean they'll make use of that here, and from their communication I don't suspect they will, at least for the time being.

  • Weeks when decades happen

    Jump

  • I was referring to the "humanity will learn to stop electing Republicans" part, saying it's optimistic to expect them to ever do that regardless of what terrible things happen

  • Weeks when decades happen

    Jump

  • That's optimistic

  • I hate whoever that was

    Jump

  • I suspect the reasoning for it was more along the lines of "if you're pasting the password, that means you probably saved it in a text file on your desktop or something, and you shouldn't do that so let's stop you from doing it". In reality, it probably didn't work to make anyone store passwords more securely, and only made life unnecessarily harder for people with password managers

  • What are some underrated Android features that users should try?

    Jump

  • If you have a USB C to C cable handy, that's also going to work to charge other devices, loses less power to the transfer, is quicker, and also more convenient since you can keep using both phones. Of course you'll often not have a cable, but if you do it's probably gonna be the better option

  • Why not simply say donation

    It's about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying "Here's the software, we'll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it". It's an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

    In the end it's just a semantic difference, it's just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.

  • Looks neat

  • this tells me nothing about what the game will look like, or run like

    I mean... This was the first trailer to stir up a bit of excitement for a game that has only just entered full-scale development. They probably don't even yet know themselves what it will look like and how it will run on what hardware. Expecting that kind of info at this point is unrealistic

  • Another random blip in the stats

    Jump

  • I agree that this way of displaying the data is appropriate, but it would be nice to have a very visible indicator of this. Some kind of highlighted "fold" line or something at the very bottom of the chart, maybe. If I can deduce the units from context, and the trend is more interesting than absolute numbers, then I'm not going to look at the axes most of the time
