Also the screen sizes they are showing have got to be exceedingly heavy.

Even before LLMs, proving that a specific human wrote some piece of text was difficult or imprecise due to coauthoring, editing, plagiarism, etc. The important question then, as no…

I would just like to say that with this page open I have ~15% utilization on my GPU. XD

This is wrong, given only the text of the article. The two books explicitly listed are not banned in Portugal or anywhere else. They are simply not subsidized with public money in …

Only two books are explicitly listed by the article, neither of which have been banned anywhere. Unsubsidized is the more accurate word here. Some governments have chosen not to pa…

It behooves every company working on some form of actual AI to immediately switch branding to distance themselves from the slop bots. Call it image recognition, automated translate…

I've hit this problem multiple times. The approach which finally eased this pain point for me was to take care to not overwrite any tmux defaults with my config, and only add non-c…

They ejected the man responsible for "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." Sweet mother earth.

I don't use Windows at home. What happens if you don't have Outlook but your personal local files still fill up OneDrive storage? Do you get error messages that files aren't being …

Lots of examples of anti-Elon pols giving nazi salutes and no one cares. People are done pretending that your concerns are genuine. Move on.

I take tremendous umbrage at "femboy Thinkpad enjoyer." A wonderful writeup.

It appears an overeager dev has gotten a CVE filed against np++ for a "DLL hijacking vulnerability." Submitter's repo is linked in the CVE change history: https://github.com/zer0t0…
