I don’t get what they gain out of this, doesn’t it remove the sponsored results? Or will people pay to nudge AI weights to recommend their products?

Basically every Unix-derived OS comes with vi. Emacs came out in 1976, macs didn’t exist until 1984.

LLMs are a type of machine learning. Input is broken into tokens, which are then fed through a type of neural network called a transformer model.

The models are trained with a process known as deep learning, which involves the probabilistic analysis of unstructured data, which eventually enables the model to recognize distinctions between pieces of content.

That’s like textbook machine learning. What you said about interpreting sentiment isn’t wrong, but it does so with machine learning algorithms.

This article is about Gemini, not GPT. The generic term is LLM: Large Language Model.

Make the chips in Guadalajara, ship them out of Puerto Vallarta to Vancouver to power server farms in Surrey; cut the US out entirely.

Hell, use the waste heat to power hot water heaters or something. It blows my mind that we don’t do more cloud computing in cold environments. The servers produce heat, the people need heat, solve one problem with another. Instead we seem to be putting them in the driest and hottest climates available.

The sad thing about being a Windows user is they’ve got you between a rock and a hard place. You either upgrade or lose support, and in a lot of cases you can’t upgrade without buying a new system.

I know a lot of people resist learning Linux, but it really is the only way out of the cycle. You can start small at first, dip your toes in. Before long it will feel more natural and familiar than the next release from Redmond. On that day you will be free.

If you have a hard drive reader and spare thumb drive it’s not too hard. Just put clonezilla on the thumb drive, boot it, put the new drive in the reader, and clone your old drive onto the new one.

Back in the day I usually just put a fresh install on the SSD and downloaded their personal files from the network copy. I found that upgrading from 7 to 10 had a uncomfortably high failure rate, so it was easier to just put a fresh install of 10 on and go from there.

I guess it depends on what your standards are for ‘fine’, or maybe it’s a 10k rpm drive. Win 10 on a standard HDD is dog shit, I personally had to upgrade several offices from HDD to SSD when Windows 10 came out.

Most games work day one these days with proton. How is modding more difficult on Linux? I feel like it’s easier, but maybe I’m just used to it.

To each their own. Personally I can’t stand MS Office, I think Google Docs is easier for most nontechnical people these days anyway. For the rare cases when Office is needed, the web version works fine on Linux.

LibreOffice works great, and WPS Office is proprietary but at least it’s free.

Personally I write my documents in markdown and use pandoc to convert them into PDF or docx or whatever. It’s like writing the source code and then compiling, I like it.

I’m sure you’ve looked into all that, but for anyone else who is interested in alternatives those are my recommendations.

Pfft, proprietary propaganda. How hard is it to let go of every app you’re familiar with, learn half a dozen scripting languages, and memorize a hundred different commands in vim?

What you say is true, though I’ve become so jaded with Microsoft that I don’t think there’s any software or situation I’d use Windows for; I’d sooner switch to Mac.

What do you have against Linux?

A 3.5" cartridge slot with a hard drive reader in it sounds kinda awesome, not gonna lie.

Anyone else see the back of the chair as the person’s hair in the first two panels?

Roku has a rechargeable backlit remote with remappable buttons. It’s called something like ‘remote pro’

There’s evidence, but I don’t know enough of the science to tell how conclusive it is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7139786/#:~:text=Regarding grey matter%2C the main,the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3).
