They're mining the written output of technical talent discussing troubleshooting, bug finding, patches, inter-dependencies, etc. It's an AI trainer's wet dream. Also: where exactly…

Everything in the western world isn't focused on LLM. The top western players are heavily focused on AGI. Meanwhile the Chinese are using LLMs and other non-AGI AI tech at the edge…

Step 1: establish a process and business unit to "address the problem" Step 2: wait for it to get out of the news cycle. Step 3: donate heavily via lobbyists to the opponents of th…

I like how you got downvoted for pointing out the truth: behind all this abusive and criminal network activity are a whole slew of service providers happy to not look too closely. …

There are no turbine generators at the DC in the video and that's not what gas turbine power plants sound like. they're much higher pitched. But yeah, the ones with the turbine gen…

Edit: the noise at many of these DCs are also "portable" natural gas turbines, intended for use as emergency power or temporary power at large events. But companies like xAI are us…

Oh, Intel is way ahead of the curve there, friend. See: broken cablemodem chipsets, poor performing cellular modems, multiple generations of desktop ethernet adapters that don't wo…

Comparing the revenue of the top quartile of AI-using companies to the average of all non-AI-using companies is beyond intellectually dishonest.

Meanwhile Boston spent millions on "bomb proof" trashcans that turned out to just be regular trashcans with an absurd mark-up. Security Theater keeps on keepin' on.

What a bunch of clickbaity nonsense. Indian government*. They shut off internet access and order people to remove stuff all the time. Nobody pays any attention to them. It's still …

Or Kobo, given how shit the stock firmware is and how little the hardware has changed over a considerable period of time. Should be easy-peasy.

Mill owners like him are precisely why New England states have child labor laws. My state prohibits anyone under 18 from operating any kind of machinery. Why? Because mill owners w…

In the US they're just slippery enough to keep you from wrenching your ankle, the bowling lane knows they will have clean soles, and the soles won't damage the floor.

I suppose, but for home automation, esps are best for getting the audio to something more powerful. If this lets a raspberry pi do voice recognition really fast, that alone is wort…

This is 10 year old ebook technology for the sake of being "open", when one can just install KOreader on a Kobo. KOreader fixes nearly all of the annoying bullshit in Kobo's firmwa…

Since it went into space with the stepped-on part, clearly nobody DID write it up. They really don't care. If the satellite blows up or fails, they get to build another.

Precisely. GLM 5.2 Thinking is pretty damn good - but it regularly does something nonsensical. Or even spits out what looks like a fragment of its memory cache. Or returns a bunch …
