Here (UK) a friend has wasted over a grand on some AI food prep nonsense thing.
In our culture this is understood to be a sign of deep seated emotional distress. And in accordance with our culture we ignore their distress and bring up the weather, as is tradition.
I've been feeding a bunch of documents I wrote into gemini last week to spit out some scripts for validation I couldn't be arsed to write. It's done a surprisingly comprehensive job and when wrong has been nudged right with just a little abuse..
I'm still all fuck this shit and can't wait for the pop, but for comparison openai was utterly brain dead given the same task. I think I actually made the model worse it was so useless.
Also the 'price cap' in the UK mainly just guarantees a minimum percentage profit added on top of what is otherwise a bunch of assumptions largely provided by the energy companies.
Then some how their costs almost always come in under the assumed numbers increasing their profit further, they don't need to innovate cos their money is guaranteed.
Also the profit percentage added went up recently, because...
I would think the framework would be somewhere around twice the price per performance but we won't know until release.
Seems like if you're leaning framework a self build makes more sense. I don't see the value proposition of a framework desktop if you're technically literate enough to be on lemmy.
I wish I could go back and never experience it before PL. It's what it should have been at release, took me ages to get around to trying it after the broken and underwhelming early versions because the main story was long and linear. I'm glad I did though, it's an entirely different experience
How about game sausage? Deer are bag of rocks stupid, though harmless.
But at least they get to live a natural life before walking round a corner into an rpg on the way back from the betting shop.
I ran fedora flawlessly for about 5-6 years on one system and it was great until one day it just shat itself with an update and I couldn't fix it. A reinstall would have been fine no doubt but took the opportunity to hop again. Think it was 41 that caused it.
Anyway I still rate it highly despite that, surprised it made it to the bottom of anyones list.
I really like KDE and haven't used cinnamon since very soon after it first released (pre 2010??)
I should give it another go soon, I do feel like I've been on kde so long I don't even know what I'm missing, except I tried gnome again and it's still not for me.
Does that equate to the hundreds of billions a year revenue they'll need to even start to not look like a joke. Their spending cycle would never end as they'll never be able to build at the pace of hardware changes.
And that's assuming the whole ai industry absolutely takes off rather than crash and burn
Can I have what your mother is smoking then?
