    I'm interested in this as well. I would assume all of them from the announcement. I.e. they are removing that functionality altogether from regular Gmail (not Workspace).

    That's not how you're supposed to use a LLM. This is nonsense.

    My point is that a generalist-humanoid robot can be used for nefarious purposes more easily than a specialised robot like a Roomba. A humanoid robot could, in an extreme case, perf…

    This is exactly my point, thank you.

    Doing what's ethically right rarely means taking the most convenient path. Fridges and pantries take a considerable amount of space in our homes. These could become part of an auto…

    A lot of these household tasks could be automated without the need for humanoid robots. Roombas can clean your floor, automated rubbish disposal can be integrated into houses and f…

    I understand this is important mainly for Nvidia GPUs. Is there any benefit at all for this (vs the existing VA-API) on Intel and AMD graphics? VA-API seems to work very well on bo…

    Actually not really, Lunar Lake chips with Xe2 graphics have VVC decoding in hardware which can do 8K. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versatile_Video_Coding

    Phones are already running models locally which can be used in the field for specific use cases. Maybe not for frontier coding just yet. Also you don't need to be connected to the …

    This piece is a bit all over the place. I immediately toggled off the `AI enhancements` and read the draft instead. The internet is already full of AI slop, I find human text a lot…

    There's a glimmer of hope with ROCmFP4 which seems to double the current throughput: https://github.com/charlie12345/rocmfp4-llama

    The Strix Halo is a great dev machine and a mediocre AI machine. You can run Qwen 3.6 27B at a decent speed, or larger MoE models, and that's about it. For some that's more than en…

    At the moment, for around $4000-5000 you can either have speed (a GPU + 32GB VRAM), or you can have capacity - a DGX Spark/Halo, but not both. I think once someone comes up with a …

    And this is exactly my point, the OEMs have more lobbying power and leverage. Anthropic might be valuated at whatever amount, but they're a new player and their only product is a p…

    Well, we could expect anything from Adobe. An LLM subscription on top of the regular Adobe subscription sounds like the sort of thing they would do. Do your local filters run slow?…

    Laws restricting the use of local AI/LLMs are not going to happen, no matter how much Anthropic might want it. All the major OEMs are now counting on local LLMs to take off. Just l…

    If you are from Europe, even if you're not living in the UK, the en-GB locale will feel a lot more familiar to you than the en-US one. It uses the dd-mm-yyyy date format like the r…
