    I was getting useful coding work done with GPT 3.5. I think devs saying "the models are finally good enough" this year are just trying to save face from their own previous irration…

    EMACS was indeed big and fat back in the day but hasn't grown much and is downright svelte by today's standards. Currently its using ~80MB on my system, compared to 7GB for firefox…

    Honestly i'll take LLMs over SO any day. If I want LLMs to belittle and passive-aggressively mock me while providing borderline help, I can prompt them to do that. But I could neve…

    I would think that is almost routine when big companies trade ICs at above a certain level. They pay for armies of lawyers which is a waste if not used. So its not about you, its a…

    It looks better and the fonts are more readable than the native wayland/gnome display I'm viewing it on.

    Not using it, because they keep saying they are going either take it away or charge a lot more for it. They seriously screwed up the messaging on this thing.

    This rower also has some best-in-class publicists since I have been reading headlines about it for a week

    Asha sounds like the kind of person you bring in to shut down a division cleanly. "Headshot!" as we gamers might say.

    1 Gbps is still pretty good if you can get it for a reasonable price. Just did a speed test at my parents place in Philly suburbs, they only get 50Mbps down. They pay A LOT of mone…

    I'm sure the fly production methodology has improved over the years, but based on what TFA describes, I'm not sure lacking smell would save you from disgust. I think even a Buddhis…

    On linux a lot of the time you kinda have to shut down because it either won't go to sleep ("failed to freeze" some process or another) or it will hang or lock up during/after wake…

    Back then you paid $50 and got the whole game - and you actually own it. I still have game install CDs from that time. Now you pay $80-90 and you get a cash shop that is selling yo…

    Pretty happy for anything that will throw some sand into the gears of AI development, given all the negative externalities that are becoming apparent, even if the admin is doing it…

    The updates themselves can be a driver of new Win 11 computer purchases. My dad got a bad update (I couldn't figure out which one) which froze his computer a few minutes after boot…

    Over $1000 for a machine with only half a terabyte of storage, especially for gamers, is just brutal.

    Interesting that they went with AMD for GPU, but not too surprising. My experience with a nvidia 5060 on my laptop is that nvidia's drivers on linux still have no idea how to relia…

    Yep this is what caused me to switch to Anthropic from OpenAI a few months back, couldn't use any model newer than GPT-4 even if I paid for credits, unless I did a biometric check.…
