Tell me you don’t know how the technology works without telling me. The “good” models are huge. They make servers larger than your local town centre run on full load for every query. There’s no throttle to hold them back, as that doesn’t help. It’ll always be full speed ahead. And the results are based on probability, with a factor of bullshit baked in as part of the design. Yes, computers become more efficient over time, but that doesn’t help when you keep pushing them to go full speed all the time. The thirstiest CPU in the original Pentium family used to consume 17.3 Watts at full speed. Today, the Intel Xeon w9-3595X slurps 462 Watts given the chance. The Nvidia B200 datacenter GPU has a TDP of 1000 Watts. And data centers have thousands of these running, full speed, for LLMs to serve us hallucinated “facts”.

Shoot, you’re correct. My bad!

The ‘S’ stands for “Secure”. HTTPS is encrypted with TLS or, nowadays, SSL which means a third party can’t intercept and read your transferred data.

Just on Sundays sounds awfully regulated.

First Geneva Convention says you can’t kill soldiers who are out of battle due to injuries or sickness, that much is true. I haven’t heard of these “double taps” before so I don’t know the circumstances but I wanted to point out that killing an injured soldier who have not yet decided to stop fighting is seemingly allowed.

It’s an AI generated picture and story, sadly. I badly wanted this to be true.

I’m sure there’s loads of ignorant people who still has no idea. But the early adopters were (according to my anecdotal evidence) Musk fans who did the mental gymnastics of “everything good with Tesla/SpaceX/PayPal/… was Musks ideas and works, and any bad things are the work of his underlings”. It was no secret back then that he came from blood money and was born and raised under apartheid. Didn’t stop them from buying the cars.

He became the Tesla CEO 18 years ago. That’s not my definition of “recently”.

The emphasis bothers me.

It’s funny this study doesn’t mention vapes

Wanna know what’s even funnier? The study totally does.

Thank you. Looks like they ask 18 000 people at random yearly. Quite a good sample size for a country of 10 million citizens. But I’d take it with a scoop of salt as it’s self reported and other numbers are weirdly worded if not wrong. I recall cigarettes being 38 SEK for a pack in 2008. Now they’re 78 SEK, which is far more than +45% and in a shorter time span.

Edit: found the summary. 30% are still using nicotine, allegedly.

Fantastic. About 75% of the people I know still smokes though. Paywall stops me from reading the article but I do wonder what the sample size is.

I don’t know about “terrible”. All possible actions I can think of sound “glorious” at worst.

I don’t know. I switched jobs somewhat recently (sw development, tech sector) and my new set of colleagues are all Bambu shills. This sort of stuff apparently doesn’t have the reach it should.

Another W from the absolutely based Woz.

Upvote for the silly joke. 😄

Not sure if serious, but you’re aware jellyfin is FOSS and selfhosted, right?

Wowza. “Torrent” being synonymous with “warez” was not on my 2026 bingo card.

Ddit: maybe just “copy” was the word it was replacing? Unexpected either way IMO.

I thought it was a well known fact that non-JEDEC compliant OC speeds would need some tinkering to achieve. Guess I was wrong, which in this instance feels weird.

I find it stilly that they’re still relying on LLMs for the prospect of AGI. It never was and never will be more than a clumsy autocorrect.
