Damn, they are getting younger and younger. Just recently a 13 year old drilled into a patient during brain surgery in Austria /s

Facebook doesn’t make phones.

Good joke, you’d have to double and triple check every single citation as LLMs love to hallucinate.

I wouldn’t risk my title or expulsion because an LLM fucked up my work. Even one missed reference or a false citation could cost you plenty.

Counter point: I know plenty of people who close the lid and then flush, then leave. So when you open the toilet you’re greeted by a floater or shit streaks over the bowl.

I flush with it open, check if it’s clean (otherwise use the brush and flush again) then leave.

If you want to close the lid you’d have to close it, flush, open it and check, clean, close it again. Are you doing that?

Steam simply due to the convenience and already having a ton of games there. Steam sales are nice too of course.

GOG is awesome, but more for older games or for games I want to play at a LAN. Like the good old days where you hang out with friends, throw a CD (or now USB stick) their way and ten minutes later you’re playing together.

That’s a weird way to look at it, obviously you’re watching the content.

I’d rather see it like this:

• Free tier with ads

• Subscription without ads (and better quality)

You are currently on the free tier. Yes, you can block ads (just like you can pirate movies), but that’s not the deal you were offered. I’m using an ad blocker myself, but I can understand the corporate side too.

They absolutely could add a hard paywall, but why should they if there are plenty of users who want to watch for free by paying with ads?

You do realize we have an unlimited energy source burning down on us during the day? Energy isn’t the issue here. We already overproduce during the day (though electric cars might take the load off of that in the near future).

Also you don’t have to make the carbon go poof, you just have to capture it and store in in another form (that’s not in the atmosphere). So yes, if you have a way to capture it and you use solar power (or any other renewable) you can reduce the carbon in the air.

Earth isn’t a closed system.

Overall people actually need to get the booster to build immunity. And just because you’re vaccinated doesn’t mean you won’t get sick at all. That’s not how this works.

Lenovo messed up the BIOS and still hasn’t fixed it properly yet. It’s also random as hell, I had 2 minute BIOS boot times. Went to the options and saved without changing anything, suddenly it got down to 30s.

Total mess. A work colleague also had issues and Lenovo support told them to downgrade the BIOS to an older version. Didn’t help. Next ticket they refused support because the laptop didn’t have the newest version installed, lol.

It will obviously get even better, but you’ll never be able to rely on it. Sure, 99.9% of that generated legal document will look perfect, till you overlook one sentence where the AI hallucinated. There is no fact checking in there, that’s the issue.

You got it the wrong way around. We already have a ton of compute and what this kind of AI can do is pretty cool.

But adding more compute power and parameters won’t solve the inherent problems.

No matter what you do, it’s still just a text generator guessing the next best word. It doesn’t do real math or logic, it gets basic things wrong and hallucinates new fake facts.

Sure, it will get slightly better still, but not much. You can throw a million times the power at it and it will still fuck up in just the same ways.

My experience has been that the more high-end my computer is, the slower it starts. At least for the BIOS, Windows has loaded very quickly since SSDs (Got my first one around 12 years ago).

Fancy motherboards, memory training, it’s a bit sad that a 10 year old budget laptop can get to Windows quicker. Even though I don’t really care about the extra seconds of course.

Hell, my new work laptop is a ThinkPad and Lenovo had issues with their BIOS for the entire year. Startup can take over a minute for that crap, despite being a $3000 machine.

No shit. I’d bet money the Cybertruck design isn’t coming from an engineer. Elon probably sat down with his crayons, drew his dream car and forced his poor employees to try and make this piece of shit work.

Most of the entries were just funny, the last one is a nuke:

70. I heard that the only real application for that technology was child pornography. How did you hear about it?

No, I’m not stupid. Also technically everything you create on company time and/or company resources no longer belongs to you.

I did have a boss once (software development) who hosted his own website on the company servers. Not 100% sure if that was ever green lit by the CEO (maybe, maybe not). But I was really annoyed when the server had issues due to that private site, when I didn’t have access to the code to fix them.

If money is just a high score for you and you can literally buy whatever you want, of course a strike is “insane”. It’s just money, right? Why are they mad?

20 lbs is 9.7% of your body weight. If you read the scale like you do math then I highly doubt you lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks.

Hell, I lost 20 lbs in 2 1/2 months (doing Keto, so still eating plenty of protein) and I still lost some hair as it was too quick. 20 lbs in 2 weeks is unbelievable, that would be 70,000 kcal of fat. While an average male uses around 2000 kcal a day, so that’s around 28,000 kcal in 2 weeks. It’s literally impossible, even if we say a handful of your pounds were water weight.

That’s absolutely untrue, for a mid- to high-end rig 32 GB of RAM are a must. I have games that use ~10 GB on their own. Add at least 2 GB for Windows and 2 GB for your browser, Discord, game launchers and other crap running and you’re already in swap territory.

Just right now just with my browser, launchers, email client, Discord and so on open my system chills at 11 GB RAM usage (out of 32). Yes, if you’re running out of RAM Windows will reclaim some of that to make space, but you don’t want to go there.

32 GB costs a tiny bit more than 16 GB, it would be stupid to go with 16 nowadays. Hell, in ARMA 3 I already got “System out of memory” errors while playing it nearly 10 years ago with 16 GB RAM.

Of course it’s easy as fuck. YouTube knows when it’s serving you an ad. They know the ad is x seconds long minimum. So if they really wanted to they could just stop giving you video data for that time and you have to sit there twiddling your thumbs.

A more elegant solution would be to block the video transmission until the browser returns a secret (which it only gets at the end of the ad break), no way to get around that.

If ads are not served every single time you could still get around it by opening up several connections so you can buffer around the ad breaks… but that’s a hassle and you can’t use this with an account (so no age restricted videos). And at some point YouTube might force you to make an account to watch.

If Google wanted to they could do it. Then in the absolute best case you’d have to sit there and watch a black screen for 5 seconds (you still load the ad, you just don’t display it).

The problem with the movie was that a lot of TV watching people see it as a “soap opera effect” because those are shot in 60 fps. So they don’t like it and want a “cinematic” feel.

For me who doesn’t usually watch TV it was glorious. Yes, you notice every tiny mistake on the screen at 48 fps, but it actually feels real. Like that’s a real dwarf there talking with an elf for example. More lifelike if you get what I mean? It’s a damn shame you can’t buy the movies with HFR :-/

Well, 144hz has more than one benefit. You get a smoother image output of course, but also less input lag (seeing actions you take faster on the screen). But switching between the two is very obvious usually, even when just moving around a window on the desktop.
