  • Why Darren Aronofsky Thought an AI-Generated Historical Docudrama Was a Good Idea

    Jump

  • I think their point is that it won't ever be there/them. What makes a person can not be consolidated down into written documentation.

    To add to that, AI is technically there. You can make an interactive image of someone (3D may not be there yet) with a custom voice and have it respond like the original person (based on info we have on them). The issue is that it will never actually be that person.

  • Thanks, I figured there was an escape character, but swapping to "x" was quicker than looking that up.

  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • I don't think they'll ever let them sell them at those prices in the US. This is actually one of the times where tarrifs are smart economic policy. Both to protect a critical manufacturing capability and also because there is a lot of evidence that Chinas prices arent sustainable longterm (seems like the car industry may be their next evergrande).

  • Is there really demand for more "compute"?

    Jump

  • Aren't those effectively the same thing. If the hardware can provide a return, then it's not a bubble.

  • Ford falls behind China’s BYD in global sales for the first time

    Jump

  • I mean, China is just the latest competition, we already have a lot of foreign cars in the US. I still think the government will ensure Ford exists simply for domestic manufacturing and security.

  • Tesla’s Head of North American Sales Out After Just Over Six Months, With Canadian Sales Down 60%+

    Jump

  • Probably not as this is talking about North America, where Chinese electric cars are still not widely available. It's most likely due to Elon, cyber truck, and US relations with Canada.

  • MacOS is the worst Operating System

    Jump

  • The UX is only serviceable to power users if you own the computer. If it's corporate you're stuck with the defaults, which are years behind Linux and windows.

    Not to mention Cmd is in a terrible spot compared to Ctrl on windows. Needing to use your thumb for Cmd + C vs using you're pinky to do Ctrl + C is also terrible in my opinion.

  • MacOS is the worst Operating System

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree with you on this one. I installed Ctrl+Tab or whatever and it's somewhat better, but windows management is horrible if you use a keyboard and mouse.

    Not to mention keyboard shortcuts range from really useful to just god awful.

  • Offline Translator: An Android translator app that performs text and image translation completely offline using on-device models—Supports automatic language detection

    Jump

  • Examples on the page seem to indicate it does OCR then translates the OCR text.

    It doesn't seem as fancy as some translation tools that overlay the translation, if that's what you meant.

    Edit: actually maybe it can - https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/23834337

  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

    Jump

  • Sounds like we are talking about different kinds of "access". My original post was just lamenting that to the general web, discord is like a black hole. Things go there and never come out as you can only access the content through its app.

  • Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team

    Jump

  • That's fair, I guess I was focused more on the bigger players in fighting games which usually focus on fictional worlds/fighters.

  • Olympic Skier Hunter Hess Responds After Trump Calls Him a “Real Loser”

    Jump

  • Reread the article, his original quote was on Friday:

    his comments in a press conference in Milan on Friday.

    “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t,” Hess said.

    “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.,” he clarified later.

    Following that Trump insulted him and he followed up with the quote mentioned above on Monday.

    I think you just have the time line off.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't know what's going on here.

  • Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

    Jump

  • A lot of discord content is private, and those that aren't require you to have discord to search. On top of that, I'm pretty sure you need to join a server before you can search it's contents.

    Since I don't use discord, there is no real way for me to access content hosted on it. Compared to Reddit or a Forum, I don't need to be a member of the community to access information shared there.

  • Halftime rule.

  • Olympic Skier Hunter Hess Responds After Trump Calls Him a “Real Loser”

    Jump

  • The comment says it is his response to Trumps comment.

    The article also has his original comment if you're wondering what that was.

  • It's sad that our altheletes are better at speaking about politics than our president.

  • In the future, it will be considered unbelievable that repairing a product used to be more expensive than buying a new one

    Jump

  • Just look at houses or cars (which are designed for repairability) and you'll see that building new is almost always easier and cheaper (although that doesn't mean it's never worth it to repair).

    A good example is any electrical or plumbing work in a house. You need to identify the issue, access the problem area, fix the problem, then patch the area back up. This is why repair and maintenance is such a huge part of home ownership.

    Sadly as things become more complex and minituraized the ability to repair them also becomes more difficult. You can sometimes cannabilize multiple pieces of electronics to create a functional one, but it's almost impossible to repair a motherboard/circuitboard for a tv/laptop/electronic. And that's not even getting into plastics, which are almost impossible to work with after they've been finalized for a product.
