Technology@lemmy.world•Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know whyEnglish
10·11 days agoI often wonder what Microsoft thinks their users do. I’m offline on my computer all the time, whether it’s a plane flight or at a place without good WiFi, there’s no replacing offline capabilities. Even when I am online, I don’t live in silicon valley where there’s fiber optic everywhere, and most Comcast users still live with a data cap, I don’t want to offload everything onto my internet connection. OneDrive is supposed to be a tool to make switching computers and traveling easier, but the result of how they manage it is the opposite.

38·18 days agoI miss the Intel Atom, not because I wanted to use it, but because of the positive impact it had on big tech and software bloat. I wish we could bring it back, but it seems nowadays, even Chromebooks have 16 GB of RAM and an i5.
Lots of pro-Ubuntu propaganda in those flow charts. At this point, Ubuntu of any flavor shouldn’t be recommended to anyone. There are always better alternatives.
Pacman will start the fight as soon as all packages are up to date, assuming no packages push updates in the time it takes to update (unlikely).

Technology@lemmy.world•It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic FindsEnglish
1·1 month agoThis is why I think GPT 4 will be the best “most human-like” model we’ll ever get. After that, we live in a post-GPT4 internet and all future models are polluted. Other models after that will be more optimized for things we know how to test for, but the general purpose “it just works” experience will get worse from here.
It’s less weird when you realize it’s not a hexagon, it’s a sine wave in cylindrical coordinates. There are a lot of negative feedback loops such that a sine wave can turn into a standing wave. You just have to get a little lucky with a couple important things like your rossby number et voila, hexagon.


It can also happen in Python if you edit the file after runtime. It parses the code on import, but re-reads the file as text during the error message, so if you added or deleted lines, the error report can report a dubious line.
