Don't get me started on the whole iCloud thing, and apple account sign in (although to be fair to them they've improved this it was way too onerous in the past).

Unfortunately. We live in a increasingly complex world and the truth gets muddled. In the past if your local store does something unethical, it would be easy to determine this, dis…

Sorry I mean published i.e. available to the public.

No man is an island.

Perhaps I'm imagining it but the entire industry was build on published research, this "AI wave" is at odds with that and seems to be driven by greed (although they'll claim some a…

Of course that matters but many can do this. I go to plenty of homes and their dishes are perfectly clean.

I hate this new cult of personality thing many are trying to cultivate. But to that point most of the time, poor performance is attributed to "the market" and strong performance is…

You can't drop everyone in that position but there is a significant number that still could do it. It is not 100% more like 50%/60% luck.

Honestly go use Deepseek v4 Flash, the data hosting in PRC is it's only downfall. It truly is an excellent model at the moment. It is opensource thankfully but there is friction th…

It's going to be more difficult to distinguish as humans are now using those terms.

I hate installing apps, sitting tracking my data in the background, and then there are often silly restrictions such as copy/paste being disabled, for what is basically just a web …

I've come to realize clutter makes me anxious. This is a quite common for people. Sadly I still own lots of shit.

Nano and mini, which is smaller? This is a bit more clear imo. It also helps for expectations, bigger isn't necessarily better for all use cases. (Well given the limited amount of …

Perhaps, but in the same breath, from the limited things I've seen and heard, they're extremely reluctant to take any risk with these types of funding schemes when disbursing, so u…

Open source is currently entirely reliant on Chinese models. So basically EU will be left behind unless we start doing something about it now. imo Mistral isn't enough by itself.

There's also thresholds where a simple tap of a card won't work and you need to insert the chip, not the case with the phone. Phone is much much easier, don't even have to open the…

Again, at this point, they're taking things too far,age gates shouldn't need to be an impenetrable fortress (notwithstanding the question of whether they should exist in the first …

This quite literally validates those "tinhat conspiracy" folks, honestly the EU are not doing us or themselves any favours here. If it is intended to replace cash then it should fu…

There is always imperfect information, there is no such thing as a perfect market and as a result regulation will always be needed to curb the excesses such as monopoly. Even if we…

It's fairly obvious at this point, it's a plutocracy.

I agree with you however I think even then you're still giving our brains too much credit. The speed definitely comes from that processing being "in silicon". Your ball throwing ex…

If anyone wishes to see the future. A fast LLM is quite eye-opening. I think chatjimmy uses Talaas' chips where models are hardcoded into the silicon. https://chatjimmy.ai/

This is absolutely true. Perhaps Microsoft have painted themselves into a corner, their catch-all marketing racking up significant tech debt. But in the same breath I honestly can'…
