I RFTA and the majority of the complaints are about call center metrics and the pressure to ration care. These are real concerns about misuse of metrics, but not AI. The AI empathy…

When I was a little kid I was playing a DOS submarine game which had a Boss Key. All I knew was the button makes it quit the game so my 6 year old interpretation was that it must b…

Testing for an extremely rare bacterium is not the bare minimum. In fact even the water treatment plants rarely do it. They admit in the article we don’t even know whether or not t…

It's wild but 80TB actually is modest compared to some of the enthusiasts on /r/homelab and /r/datahoarders that are running 300TB NAS servers at home. 80TB can still maybe fit in …

They also hold their performance well so for some people it’s worth saving a few hundred bucks plus sales tax by buying a used one.

The Owens River source for LA is so good because it’s basically a continuous gradual decline from the source to the city, requiring no pumps. Pumping is very energy intensive. At a…

A H100 uses about 1000W including networking gear and can generate 80-150 t/s for a 70B model like llama. So back of the napkin, for a decently sized 1000 token response you’re tal…

Actual shootings with 3D printed guns are relatively rare but it’s come up because Luigi Mangione killed the United Healthcare CEO with one.

Steam, the Kindle Store and iTunes all had similar sales cuts since before the app store launched in 2008. It’s egregious now but at the time it wasn’t crazy because software devel…

My 7700k, a top of the line CPU from 2017, doesn’t support Windows 11 even though it has TPM 2.0. I had to install using rufus.

How is this different from linux? People happily spend hours customizing defaults in their OS. It’s usually a point of praise for open source software.

They have 800M weekly active users that have yet to be monetized but enormous capital costs. It makes sense they'd be looking to raise large amounts of money in an IPO.

Firstly, I can tell you phone number verification made a very meaningful impact. The cost of abuse can be quite high for services with high marginal costs like AI. Second, all thos…

Theoretically yes but a few issues: - Account creation usually happens before plan selection & payment. Most users start at free, then add a CC later either during on-boarding or a…

As someone who implemented phone verification at a company I worked for, it’s 100% for preventing spam signups intending to abuse free tiers. API companies can get huge volumes of …

Even after reading this comment I went searching for the button and it took a while to find it. And the homepage says in bold letters “The PeerTube mobile app for Android & iOS is …

Assuming power is free. Even small wattage differences add up quickly for a server running 24/7 and those older CPUs can be very inefficient.

FWIW, I have USAA and had the almost exact same thing happen to me in 2020 - car stolen and totaled. They paid me a really fair deal on the cash back for the 2yo crosstrek. It prob…

Damn give it a minute. All this LMM/GPT stuff just blew up in the last 9 months.

They did pay severance. > The West Hollywood, California-based company also gave a severance package to staff who were unable to relocate, in what the CWA alleged was an attempt “t…

Part of their orb tech is a ton of sensors that make sure its a real eyeball on a human.

Can multiple APs work together to do beam forming or do all there antennas have to be in a single AP?
