Sounds like the internet needs to have some rules established to keep things under control. Personally, I think 34 rules is a good number, at least at a minimum.

I’m not sure I understand why this question comes up everytime some chinese app is in a news article.

Anyway, it should not come as a surprise, but “Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin”, someone who works as AG for a state in the US, presumably is more interested in US interests than Chinese interests, and presumably places more trust in the government and businesses of the country he lives in than in the government (and businesses, for where there’s a distinction anyway) of the country of his nation’s economic rival.

In my case, since I get DashPass through my CC (not directly paying for it), I’ve seen it discounted to below the price some restaurants list on their websites. I pick up all my orders myself though.

I wouldn’t pay for DashPass directly, personally speaking at least. I don’t use DD nearly enough to justify investing more into it vs. just ordering on the restaurant’s website or calling in the order. The only reason I even use DD is because I get that as a benefit through my CC and it usually pushes the prices to same or lower as ordering directly.

I find it funny that the same people who are against government regulations and giving more power to the state are the ones voting for this. They also seem to be so poorly informed that they think it’ll stop anyone from watching this content lol.

My Framework 16 hasn’t run out of battery… ever? I don’t use it often since I mostly use my desktop, but every time I have for the past couple months or so, the battery has been above 50%.

Without gaming, I could almost certainly last a whole day without charging it. I’m not sure I could really ask for more than.

Not sure how the 13 is on battery, but I’d imagine the battery is a bit smaller due to the size difference.

All they’d have to do for me to buy premium is make a plan without YT music that costs less. It’s not that hard. I will never use YT music, and that has nothing to do with the quality of the service or whatever - I’m not interested in music streaming services at all.

On the flip side, nobody can be expected to keep their website up for 4000 years. Hosting costs money and time, and at some point, the thing you’re hosting will fall out of relevance enough to no longer be worth the cost.

This is why archiving is important. Hopefully most of the content that was lost was archived at some point. Getting a good chunk of that content onto long term storage would do future generations a favor (even if it’s just a bunch of tape storage locked away in a warehouse or something).

I know Kagi does, but aside from that I wouldn’t be surprised if SearXNG does too.

The sooner, the better. It’s so painful when I use Google these days. Why is it that smaller people can do seemingly obvious features like custom user-controlled site rankings, but the big players are completely incapable of that?

Not just marketing, that’s the term it’s always been called. Plug a bunch of parameters into a non-deterministic model and you’ve got an AI, at least by what seems to be the common definition of the term.

This is a guess since I’m not a lawyer, but since users license their content to Twitter when posting it, Bright Data might have to prove fair use. I don’t think that question has been answered yet in relation to AI model training, but search engines have been doing this for decades for what it’s worth, so I don’t know.

Do they give up the copyright, or license it to the website? They still created the content, and I don’t have a Twitter account, but after briefly reading the ToS, it says they license it to Twitter (which is pretty standard from the other services I use that I’ve read the ToS for).

I think Steve makes a great case against Asus in the ROG vs ROC debate. In fact, it raises the question of who is stealing from who here. Clearly Asus took the ROG name from roc. They had to have started with the ROG acronym and went backwards because, let’s be real, who would have thought “Republic of Gamers” was a good name if they weren’t forced into using that acronym from the beginning? The ROC branding is clearly a reference to the same bird, just taken more literally.

The Win11 ads has me looking at good Linux distros now. I didn’t buy a (discounted) $200 license so i can look at ads.

I managed to get ollama running through Docker easily. It’s by far the least painful of the options I tried, and I just make requests to the API it exposes. You can also give it GPU resources through Docker if you want to, and there’s a CLI tool for a quick chat interface if you want to play with that. I can get LLAMA 3 (8B) running on my 3070 without issues.

Training a LLM is very difficult and expensive. I don’t think it’s a good place for anyone to start. Many of the popular models (LLAMA, GPT, etc) are astronomically expensive to train and require and ungodly number of resources.

This seems super useful! Personally speaking, I’d also love to see more effort done in general to simplify consuming and producing the JSON-LD (and ActivityStreams vocab) used by these federated services as well, as it’s been something I’ve been trying to tackle myself for a while now (turns out it’s really hard to do in a statically typed, non-dynamic language, from my experience).

You don’t need a LLM to see if the output was the exact, non-cyphered system prompt (you can do a simple text similarity check). For cyphers, you may be able to use the prompt/history embeddings to see how similar it is to a set of known kinds of attacks, but it probably won’t be even close to perfect.

It had me at the start. About halfway through, I realized it was written by someone who needs to seek mental help.

I hadn’t heard of Gab AI before, and now I know never to use it.

Hasn’t nuclear fusion been out for a while? I thought the sun did that for us.

I also doubt quantum computing would make its way into the consumer market in any practical form for a long time. To begin with, there needs to be a demand for it, and as far as I can tell, there’s not really any application the average consumer uses that can benefit from quantum computing. A fission power plant, on the other hand…

You can blame both corporations

I don’t remember saying otherwise. I just found it odd that everyone was talking about Discord (at the time of posting), and there was very little discussion around Nintendo’s involvement in encouraging (and participating in) such toxic behavior.

without allowing any sort of measure.

This is what I find unacceptable in Discord’s case. Options should have been given to the devs/server admins.

Is the expectation that Discord will risk spending potentially millions in court with Nintendo to protect a single community? From their perspective, it’s easy to see why they’d just bend over.

Discord’s response was extreme, and that is inexcusable. I’m not trying to defend them here. The core problem here though is Nintendo harassing these developers to try to stop these projects. They could have easily been kicked out by any other platform, or sent a C&D if they tried to self-host one.
