It can’t even reproduce the opening paragraph of Moby Dick

Meta has a chatbot that makes pirated books available?

Where’s the pre-order link?

No, you can’t find any copyrighted text inside the model’s weights.

In machine learning, that task is referred to as classification

I had all of these problems with Jellyfin and then I discovered Netflix (www.netflix.com/totallynotareferral)

Maybe they don’t want to clean up a fresh install of Windows, maybe they don’t own a computer, maybe they don’t have arms, maybe they can’t read

The walls get hot, you absorb the heat from the walls with a fluid. You use the fluid to heat water, you use the steam to drive a turbine, you use the turbine to turn a permanent magnet inside of a coil of wire. In addition, you can capture neutrons using a liquid metal (lithium) which heats the lithium, which heats the walls, which heats the water, which makes steam, which drives a turbine, which generates electricity.

If you poured water onto them they wouldn’t explode. 100 million degrees Celsius doesn’t mean much when the mass is so low compared to the mass of the water.

Until you see companies selling liquid nitrogen generators, you’re not going to have to worry about anyone pushing quantum chips on the average consumer.

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service… but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.

TempleOS is all anyone needs

Ah, I see DDG has started the slow slide into enshittification.

Start off with a good service, gain a userbase, then start to slowly boil the frog an extract cash.

We got extended memory now! Bill gates doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

The people:

There’s nothing wrong with having money or expensive hobbies. It’s not like he’s collecting Senators or buying himself a seat in the Oval Office

No, it’s recognizing that tinkering means different things now.

In the 80s and 90s, if you were learning computers you had no choice but to understand how the physical machine worked and how software interacted with it. Understanding the operating system, and scripting was required for essentially any task that wasn’t in the narrow collection of tasks where there was commercial software. There was essentially one path (or a bunch of paths that were closely related to each other) for people interested in computers.

That just isn’t the case now. There are more options available and many (most?) of them are built on top of software that abstracts away the underlying complexity. Now, a person can use technology and never need to understand how it works. Smartphones are an excellent example of this. People learn to use iOS or Android without ever knowing how it works, they deal with the abstractions instead of the underlying bits that were used to create it.

For example, If you want to play games, you press a button in Steam and it installs. If you want to stream your gaming session to millions of people, you install OBS and enter your Twitch credentials. You don’t need to understand graphical pipelines, codecs, networking, load balancing, or worry about creating client-side applications for your users. Everything is already created for you.

There are more options available in technology and it is completely expected that people distribute themselves amongst those options.

I’ve noticed that a lot in newer users.

Even in technical fields, the users know how to use the software but they don’t understand anything under that. A lot of people got into computer via smartphones where you are essentially locked out of anything below the application layer.
