It's as if Microsoft decided that people who haven't already left Windows either have no choice or just don't care, so they will tolerate everything. Microsoft is not wrong

It doesn’t really work like that. The companies which have the will and the budget to host their own LLMs typically require a ton of other, much smaller, models as well. They have …

Most adults don’t read or hardly ever read for pleasure- they stop way before Alzheimer even starts to manifest itselft

That depends on the workload. When buying for on-prem inference, MI355x is quite capable. It still requires a ton more ops time, not every dc handles it cooling-wise, and you have …

Lots of games’ updates break popular mods, introduce launchers and/or break linux compatibility and/or online mode, remove music with expired licenses, censor something and increas…

Well Sony is actively working on that problem- the plebs in these internet-starved countries won’t be playing anyway, as with no optical drive in the future ps6 users are going to …

It is completely fair to expect at least B1 from potential citizens and permanent residents. What the article is covering are the skilled workers, and for them B1 isn't nearly enou…

>>if all I need is shelter for a day, would I necessarily care whether it lasts more than a week An interesting choice of a metaphor here. If I needed a shelter for a day, I would …

Unless you don’t intend to age, you too will become old and sick. As will, hopefully, almost everyone else. How is it wealth redistribution when most people will start as recipient…

>>It 's not an ATS. >>No human can read that many resumes well. So I built something to rank them, helping me decide which resumes to read first Translation: it's an ATS. >>the sys…

I would have agreed that making teenagers read way above their (life) experience level may scare some off of returning to the same books after growing up, but am not so sure anymor…

My bad- support is too wide of a term, and I meant it in a sense that Valve is quick to respond when their hardware stops working. I got my deck fixed after the warranty period, fo…

For the inevitable minisforum machines comparisons - it's not as bad for Valve as it seems. You can't just add a dedicated GPU to a cheap miniPC with an integrated graphics- power …

For us- sure. For most of the internet users- very likely no. Social media and video streaming IS the internet for the majority

Especially the kinds of people people who tend to create such monstrosities- they either move up or move on (to the next victim)

Hardly fair to describe books as a medium designed to get one hooked

It was really easy to tell which is which for the vocals. On the other hand, the only sample in which I didn't hear ANY difference is Ennio Morricone's, to the point where I couldn…

A truly fascinating part is that feature and quality-wise EGS is still, after years of development, miles behind Steam. Epic likely has talented devs and clearly invests a lot of m…

People in general can't be trusted to follow the rules. That's why we have the inforcement. Students are just little people

Apart from all the other things everyone mentioned, wired headphones never really become technically obsolete. I can still connect my 15-year-old pair of headphones to a laptop, an…

The kids tend to hang out with the kids of their parents' friends, with the neighbours' kids. A bit later in life, when in school, we find friends among the classmates, who too are…

Actually it does work for those invite-only trackers, especially in niche fields. Unlike most public trackers which are either dead or on a life-support, member-only and invite-onl…

But they kind of are (a cult band). Most people in the world know Metalica while hardly anyone ever heard any of the Sisters Of Mercy's tracks. Normal people don't care- they just …

I didn't state that Ars Technica specifically mandate LLM use for their authors. What I did state about them is that their editorial standards are lacking, and they tend to produce…

I'ts an open secret that even the larger news outlets mandate LLM use. They buy subscriptions and have guidelines on how to mask the output (so that it would read less AI'ed), how …
