You are wrong that he should immediately change his app name.

This is a letter from an attorney. It means nothing. It’s legally the same as if I got my buddy to walk up to you and say, “Hey, my friend thinks you have his car. Give us your keys.”

The letter is from a lawyer, not a court. It can be ignored. However I suggest sending a registered letter back to the lawyer to waste their time.

They will not spend the $20,000+ needed to go to trial. (That’s only the court costs that must be paid. Full lawyer fees will be higher) I know this because I once had to sue a contractor. Court fees would have been larger than any money I would have gotten back. Fortunately it was handled through state licensing.

The letter should reference that your project is using the English word that describes the function.

I went through this decades ago because my Internet company name closely matched an extremely large computer manufacturer. I got a letter from an attorney. I wrote a letter back that my company name was the English word for the equipment used for Internet service. That was the end of it.

Skyrim has nothing on Doom. The crazy Skyrim “ports” aren’t ports at all but just the opening video.

Doom is on everything with a screen and a CPU.

Around every 6 years.

My methodology is to look at BackBlaze, throw out any data with less than 100k hours, and pick the drive with the lowest AFR (annualized failure rate).

It’s maybe $50-$100 between the cheapest and best enterprise drive and I’m not buying 1,000 drives so I do not care about price.

Current LLM’s aren’t that stupid. They do have limited learning. You give it a question, tell it where it’s wrong and it will remember and change all future replies with the new information you give it. You certainly can’t ask a goldfish to write a c program that blinks an led on a microcontroller. I have used it to get working programs to questions that were absolutely nowhere on the internet. So it didn’t just copy/paste something found.

Well yeah, because they’re not infinite. ;)

Apple should add “console” into their branding to solve all their problems.

The all new iPhone 17+ Console.

There isn’t any significant difference between a Switch and an iPhone

even with infinite context memory

Interestingly, infinite context memory is functionally identical to learning.

It seems wildly different but it’s the same as if you have already learned absolutely everything that there is to know. There is absolutely nothing you could do or ask that the infinite context memory doesn’t already have stored response ready to go.

It was invalid when he originally proposed it because it assumes a unique mystical ability for the atoms that make up our brains. For Searle the atoms in our brain have a quality that cannot be duplicated by other atoms simply because they aren’t in what he recognizes as a human being.

It’s why he claims the machine translation system system is incapable of understanding because the claim assumes it is possible.

It’s self contradictory. He won’t consider it possible because it hasn’t been shown to be possible.

Searle argued from his personal truth that a mystic soul is responsible for sapience.

His argument against a computer system having consciousness is this:

" In order for this reply to be remotely plausible, one must take it for granted that consciousness can be the product of an information processing “system”, and does not require anything resembling the actual biology of the brain."

If you go by usage, I’d say the iPhone is primarily an entertainment device.

Meta has been promoting their Quest 3 AR desktop mode for productivity.

Because the meme blames Intel.

Imagine if I did a meme that blamed AMD for only supporting DDR4 because my motherboard only did DDR4 despite all AMD 7000 and newer supporting DDR4 or DDR5…

Oh sure. But as I said, that’s the motherboard’s fault, not the cpu.

PAE was introduced with the Pentium Pro 30 years ago. I used it on Dell Pentium II servers that ran SQL Server. Even the 386 from 1985 could access 64 terabytes of ram using segmented mode.

Full 64 bit Prescott P4 was 2004.

The Pentium 4 supported PAE and 36 bit PSE

It’s kind of like how the 8086 was a 16 bit processor but could access 1 megabyte of ram (640k ram 384 k reserved for rom) . -Or the 286 which was 16 bit but could access 24 MB.

But even without that the Prescott P4’s supported 64 bits.

Maybe. But it would need to be an Atom from 15 years ago. Anything newer does 32 GB.

Of course motherboards don’t support it but that’s not the cpu’s fault.

That’s because you posted it to Lemmy. Like Twitter, Facebook is not getting rid of fact checkers. Facebook is only getting rid of fact checkers that Zuckerberg either doesn’t like or doesn’t care about.

I assure you, “Zuck is a pedo” would be immediately deleted from Facebook if it got any views.

That’s Lenovo’s fault, not Intel.

What hardware are you using where the cpu says you are limited to 4gb?

Even a 25 year old Pentium 4 supports 8GB.
