average us congressman is just the boomer version of some reddit nerd bitching and moaning about how not giving a corporation a few dollars is basically the same as killing a baby
Technically if you submit a query to the search engine, you do so because you want answer to a question in the best way possible without having to do too much digging.
So does it matter if it uses AI to help you? I say its a great feature.
No. A lot of times I’m looking to compare many answers. I’ll give you an example.
If I want to look for interesting barbecue rubs that I haven’t tried before I’ll query a search engine. Historically (not so much recently) Google has been better at searching through forums than a direct forum search. So I can check many different sources for the ratios people are using and make my decision.
Google’s half baked AI is really terrible right now. It has a memory of about two answers, barely understands context, and hallucinates more often than both copilot and ChatGPT.
Now I’m looking for a coffee rub and it’s giving me injection advice (happened when I tested Gemini), it gets barbecue styles mixed up, doesn’t follow dietary restrictions that are explicitly stated, and will give you recipes for the wrong cut and type of meat.
It’s not ready, and anyone trusting it for an answer to a question is going to have a bad time. If you have to verify it by checking a bunch of links anyway then it’s not only worthless, it’s making search take longer and take up screen real estate.
Brisket coffee rub is fairly common. I only know one guy who uses a coffee injection because it’s not common, although other injections are pretty common for brisket.
I have no idea why it went off on that particular tangent. I guess whatever barbecue data it was trained on had a lot of injection advice along with the coffee rubs.
I’m searching to get specific information, and good information. I’ve seen LLMs make shit up and be wrong enough times for me not to trust them. I’d rather turn that feature off.
We’re in the technology sub. People here are old enough to know how to Google (old forums, preferably Reddit, as Lemmy is absent), they don’t know how to use an AI effectively (just look at how they’re trying to justify that). Don’t worry about the downvotes and their nonsense responses. Those are the same people who microwave their water instead of using an electric kettle.
As on all social media people here (group)think that they are the smartest. But Lemmy is also a bubble, one with people who don’t want to innovate or experience new things. Very weird for something so tech focused.
Assuming these numbers aren’t massaged like Tesla’s, 252 km (157 miles) isn’t a terrible range. Not something you’ll want to road trip across the country with, but suitable for most city commuting.
For EVs, these batteries are better for the environment to produce and to dispose of, and if you’re able to replace them every time you go to a recharge station you’ll never have a battery die because it won’t be in your car long enough. The batteries keep rotating until they die and then they get taken out of rotation and disposed of.
if batteries are kept in rotation until they die… you’ll most likely experience one dying on you. probably multiple times during your life.
the rest holds up just…how would you avoid a battery dying on you, if you’re still using the same system? you’re not getting a new battery every time you swap, you get an old battery that’s been sitting in the station recharging.
it’s gonna die on someone, might as well happen to you…
There are ways to calculate a batteries remaining life, usually you’d have a chip dedicated to tracking all of that. They can tell you a battery’s history, health, estimated charge capacity etc. So if the station detects a batteries life is low or it’s marked as chaged but it’s charged significantly below it’s initial capacity it can be taken out of rotation and inspected and fixed/disposed of if need be.
Personally I wonder, once we have interchangeable batteries, if it will be more common to have several smaller, shorter life span batteries that add up to a certain range. That way the recharge station only has to change out the batteries with a lower charge, and even if the battery system trips up and you get a borked battery your range would be slightly reduced not completely gone or halved
I drove a leaf for 3 years and it had 80 to start with and ended around 67. At the end, it was a pain, but didn’t notice until around 70mi range. Somehow, 75 would get me from home, to the airport, to work, and back home again with room to breathe. At 67, it was nail biting.
To the point, 150 is probably good for quite a lot of people.
Assuming this company is not filled with dumbasses thinking air cooling the battery is a good idea like in the Leaf, the range will likely hold up much better.
For me that would be pushing it. That is about as far as I drive to my dentist. A little traffic, or battery degradation. That said any charging station a long the way would fix that.
A question for the tech savy, free alternatives to youtube like newpipe relies on youtube servers to access content, right? I mean, if youtube were to disappear magically we wouldn’t have a palce where to upload and store so many Gb of videos?
Am I missing something (I know I’m probably missing a lot!)? Thanks in advance for the replies!
newpipe is just a client for accessing youtubes servers, yes, so if youtube went away we would need to use vimeo or something else (maybe peertube, open source yt alternative?)
There really needs to be a way to seed peertube videos without leaving the window open. A firefox extension even. They have extensions that do bittorrent, it shouldn’t be hard. Videos could end with a “click here to seed this video” message
Yeah I was really surprised when I started looking into it that there’s no “remote bandwidth runners” option. Although I think Peertube’s devs may be just starting to think about that kind of thing since they just added support for remote transcode runners
This seems like the most accurate speculation I’ve seen yet. Sam’s got a lot of buddies over at Microsoft as they’ve been working with OpenAI for some time now
Does that matter? Facebook, Insta and Threads are all owned by the same company.
Why shouldn’t they merge them all together? Gmail sends appointments, flights, etc to Google Calendar. Should I be outraged by that too?
If you’re still oversharing on Facebook at this point, you know what you’re getting into. Even those that post that nonsense “I do NOT give Facebook permission” spam that highlights everyone vulnerable to other scams.
Cool, more identity tracking. Wonder how they will enforce this? Anything not enforced is just another window to click through. They might use this as a spring board to make more privacy violating policies. Hope it doesn’t pass…
If anyone thought an electronic device would become a family heirloom they are really clueless.
I think the first good wearable computer ever made has great potential as something people might like to collect. I have the first ever (proper/good) laptop for example. It doesn’t work anymore, but I still like having it (and I’d love to restore it some day - just because Apple won’t fix it doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed… it just means Apple isn’t maintaining a large stockpile of spare parts anymore).
In 20 years time, I bet those watches are worth a lot of money in good condition. An original iPhone recently sold at auction for $200,000.
