So the lack of apple-branded AI Slop is slowing down the sales for iPhones but not for Macs?
Edit for clarity: I’m aware sequoia “has” apple intelligence but in a borderline featureless state, so it’s as good (or as bad) as not having anything.
Yeah and at this rate, soon enough Israel will completely run out of Gazans to exterminate!
I recently discovered dupe.com , which works quite well by giving it an Amazon link and finding it on potentially cheaper, definitely non-Bezos websites.
Because AI is the new buzzword and even the excel charts regression line is called AI these days.
Some of these are for insurance, government organisations… They are naturally dry but we can’t get away from them.
Some others that I described like internal changelogs, I agree won’t ever get read. Then if that’s the case I don’t care (much) about the quality - just about doing it as quickly as possible.
There are tons more applications in the workplace. For example, one of the people in my team is dyslexic and sometimes needs to write reports that are a few pages long. For him, having the super-autocorrect tidy up his grammar makes a big difference.
Sometimes I have a list of say 200 software changes that would be a pain to summarise, but where it’s intuitively easy for me to know if a summary is right. For something like a changelog I can roll the dice with the hallucination machine until I get a correct summary, then tidy it up. That takes less than a tenth of the time than writing it myself.
Sometimes writing is necessary and there’s no way to cut down the drivel unfortunately. Talking about professional settings of course - having the Large Autocorrect writing a blog post or a poem for you is a total misuse of the tool in my opinion.
I usually read the articles linked in Lemmy but I haven’t managed to bring myself to read the whole of this one. It’s utter lunacy, linked (of course) to the EA and the cult of Yudkowsky.
Apparently the Wikipedia for The Collins is also an endless source of crazy.
To be fair, it’s such a load of nonsense that it isn’t really worth reading…
At least those are big, the ones that woman is wearing have both a thick and small frame which makes a truly horrible effect.
I always was on the “nerd” side at school but boy do those faces look punchable.
No, I think that’s talking about Aria Babu, a person from London who’s changed the focus of her career to become a “pronatalist”. The woman in the photos is Simone Collins, and I haven’t read about her age. I’m usually the kind that reads the whole articles on links but I could only bring myself to skim through this lunacy.
I’m one of those people that throughout the day sits in about 10 different positions, 8 of those being things that Health & Safety wouldn’t approve of.
But still looking at this is making my back hurt, it’s wild that people would work 8+ hours like this before office ergonomics were a concept.
After the 6th of Jan, I can’t be convinced that the USA takes treason seriously.
The budget can work, but you’d have to get creative. For example, a used A6000 series camera and an “old”, probably manual focus zoom.
You lose some niceties (AF for starters) but it’s better than not having a camera!
No, -r and -f are two different switches. -r is recursive, used so that it also removes folders within the directory. -f is force (so overriding all confirmations, etc).
Also queen, “James, you’re such an Excel queen”. I’ve seen this sort of use many times at my workplace. It doesn’t have anything to do with gender or sexual orientation.
It’s obviously more niche than “dude” but I’ve seen it before.
Do a search on yourself - try to find out your real identity based on information online, and do it as thoroughly as if you were searching for your worst enemy.
If you can find who you are yourself, chances are they will.
Make sure you don’t have anything “hairy” tied to an email with an email address you’d use for anything uncompromising. E.g. keep the email you use to login on Lemmy and the email you use to login on netflix separate.
Use 2 factor authentication and a password manager. Treat your password leaks seriously and consider any leaked accounts burnt - assume the details you had in there are now known.
Avoid using your real name on anything you can.
Best wishes. Take care my friend!
I don’t care if it’s single ply. I just fold tp until it has the appropriate thickness anyway.
If it’s single ply, I just use a lot of TP and make it many-ply.
Trump will fix it. Concepts of thoughts and prayers.
If it’s for AI, loading huge models is something you can do with Macs but not easily in any other way.
I’m not saying many people have a use case at all for them, but if you have a use case where you want to run 60 GB models locally, a whole 192GB Mac Studio is cheaper than the GPU alone you need to run that if you were getting it from Nvidia.
