How much does the US pay for working as one of their propagandists?

anlumo ,

AI is just the name that journalists use for all algorithms these days.

anlumo ,

Everybody who is still there must see him as their master, either voluntarily due to a cult-like demeanor or due to visa restrictions that equal servitude.

anlumo ,

How much would that be for a middle class person in relation? $10?

anlumo ,

In the meantime, Apple rakes in exponentially more and more money.

anlumo ,

A lot of mental gymnastics going on there, I hope they don’t pull a brain tendon.

anlumo ,

It hurt itself in confusion.

anlumo ,

Well, OpenGL had been deprecated on macOS for years before ARM Macs were even released. I personally was surprised that they even bothered to implement it.

anlumo ,

I’m a fan of people facing consequences for their idiotic behavior, so I hope that they don’t do a prisoner swap.

anlumo ,

The whole point of the project was to use the Tensor cores. There are a ton of other implementations for regular GPU acceleration.

anlumo ,

On my 4090, the performance is much better than ChatGPT4. The output is way worse though.

anlumo ,

It’s already pointless to file a patent as an individual, except for brownie points for investors. You have to be able to defend it in court.

anlumo ,

That’s why Israel has been actively targeting journalists in the war zone.

anlumo ,

It’s just another step on the ladder. They’re testing how far they can go with the genocide without anybody relevant complaining.

anlumo ,

Perpetual, not irrevocable.

anlumo ,

It’s a very big ego though, so of course it needs a lot of fuel.

anlumo ,

That’s why capitalism is inherently incompatible with stopping Climate Change and we’re all fucked.

anlumo ,

iPhone 4, the one famous for “you’re holding it wrong”?

anlumo ,

I generally agree, but I’m saying that it still had some early adopter issues.

btw, I had an iPhone 4 and used it for a long time.

anlumo ,

Probably just a matter of writing the right firmware and building the right hardware. I don’t think anything is stopping you from doing that.

The problem with microcontrollers is that code isn’t easily portable, so this device is stuck with its hardware.

anlumo ,

Dying while in office would be the best case for him, since he’d have immunity while in office. Otherwise he’ll die in prison.

anlumo ,

How would you define “accessible”? The web app I’m working on works in Firefox, but a few text labels are misaligned with their input controls due to slight CSS deviation from Chromium. It’s those things that are most of the problems for supporting both browsers, functionality-wise they’re very close (except newer features that Firefox hasn’t implemented yet or Google-specific features like WebUSB).

anlumo ,

It changed when the Libertarians took over.

anlumo ,

Every time such a thing is attempted, the government officials are bribed by Microsoft to stop the project.

Happened in Munich for example.

anlumo ,

I suspect that Zelinskiy knows something the analyst don’t.

anlumo ,

My personal guess is that Zaluzhnyi has some something bad (like corruption) that is about to become public, and Zelenskiy wants to be ahead of the curve in order to minimize the impact on the country’s defense. This is the only situation where this move would make sense to me, at least.

anlumo ,

That’s what I’ve been arguing with a fellow programmer recently. Right now you have to tell these programmer LLMs what to do on a function-by-function basis, because it doesn’t have enough capacity to think on a project level. However, that’s exactly what can be improved by scaling the neural network up. Right now the LLMs are limited by hardware, but they’re still using off-the-shelf GPUs that were designed for a completely different use case. The accelerators designed for AI are currently in the preproduction phase, very close to getting used in the AI data centers.

anlumo ,

The creativity argument I don’t get at all. Being creative these days means taking a bunch of known ideas and mashing them up, and that’s exactly what an LLM does. Very few people can really think outside the box.

I’ve had a few things where it was actually the other way around. I’m running a lot of TTRPGs, and my storylines are always pretty bland because I’m not that creative. I’ve started to use ChatGPT4 to give me a few ideas for stories, and it helps me break out of that box by suggesting completely different things than what I’d have thought of.

anlumo ,

I’ve had a doctor at a COVID vaccination station trying to talk me out of it. He said that with my age and three prior vaccinations there’s absolutely no benefit. After a few statements like that he admitted that he was required to allow anyone who really insists to get it, though. So that’s what I did.

anlumo ,

As with any vaccine, it only lowers the risk of catching it, it doesn’t eliminate it.

anlumo ,

Servers often come without GPU, and they’re usually the ones encoding image formats.

anlumo ,

A third party adaptation of Chromium could add support for other formats, the ones we know about right now just don’t bother.

anlumo ,

As someone who has built solar battery packs, that’s not how batteries work. They have a single connection (positive and negative), not a charge and separate discharge port. If the charge voltage is the same as the battery voltage, it goes directly to the device.

The only problem is that you can’t keep the battery at 80% charged in this mode, which would be better for battery life while it’s not used.

anlumo ,

Daisy chaining extension chords is dangerous because there is a current limit on them and no fuse. Also, the voltage drops the longer the cable is and thus there might not be enough left at the end to power whatever you’re trying to connect.

All of this doesn’t apply to electronically controlled and fused power supplies.

How can open source hardware be a movement if the raw materials still have to be mined and factory produced?

Am I not understanding FOSH (free and open source hardware)? I have always dreamed of open source hardware but it has always seemed unshakeably and fundamentally reliant on for instance massive open pit mines mining all over the world in finite dwindling supply wrecking local ecosystems every element necessary for computer...

anlumo ,

Or the trains in Poland that throw up phantom fault when started within certain geofences that happen to be located on the competition’s repair centers.

anlumo ,

Switching platform isn’t great when you lose access to all of the apps that were bought for the previous one. There’s a big incentive to not switch.

anlumo ,

Holy shit there are some bootlickers in the comments on that article.

anlumo ,

Would you pay for the missed income then? Who would?

anlumo ,

Then Biden is ignoring that this might cost him the reelection that’s coming up. Left-leaning people even in the US aren’t that keen on genocide, and a lot of them might just elect to stay at home rather than voting for an enabler.

anlumo ,

The worst thing about it is that both parties are neoliberal. On the economics side, it’s just an illusion of choice. They only differ on social issues.

anlumo ,

Israel argued that because Jews were affected by a genocide, Israel is therefore unable to commit it themselves.

anlumo ,

Does that doll have a wallet?

anlumo ,

Your description matches my understanding of the process (as someone who left iOS development a few years ago).

I don’t think that the DMA is technical enough to differentiate in this precise manner. Keep in mind that it was written by lawmakers and politicians who mostly don’t know how to even use a smartphone. They’d think that a certificate is a piece of paper with fancy signatures on it.

anlumo ,

On the positive side, those fines could fix the finances of a few smaller EU countries in a single sweep.

anlumo ,

Yeah, the first operation of every jailbreak was to disable this protection.

anlumo ,

No, macOS allows sideloading apps that are still signed by Apple.

anlumo ,

Yes, but that’s separate from what I’m talking about.

Netanyahu defies Biden, insisting there’s ‘no space’ for Palestinian state (www.theguardian.com)

Defiant Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu doubled down on opposition to Palestinian statehood, deepening the divide with Israel’s closest international allies, as cracks in his wartime “unity” government became increasingly evident....

anlumo ,

A quick Google turned up these polls. It’s only 14% that voted for Biden, but since the US election is decided on single percentage points sometimes, that can make all of the difference.
