Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia insists it isn’t Enron, but its AI deals are testing investor faithEnglish
7·7 days agoenron sold plenty of gas and real things too: it’s the double handling that’s the problem; not the nature of the goods or services

3·7 days agoopenai has practically no value and that’s well known… nvidia is paying companies to buy their chips and playing bullshit shell games
the difference is openai is a pretty well known unprofitable company, and they aren’t doing quite as much of the bullshit shell games. nvidia is selling to basically everyone, taking stakes in companies, giving weird deals… it’s bloody impossible to track how much of their sales are real and how much those real sales are actually worth, or if those sales are loss leaders for some investment then those investments look a lot like openai
so nvidia not only is invested in a lot of very questionable AI bubble companies, but also their own sales figures are… unreliable
they’re making billions upon billions because they’re using their own money multiple times. it’s kinda like leveraged trading with all the risk and it’s incredible arrogant at the scale that nvidia is doing it

News@lemmy.world•US offers Ukraine 15-year security guarantee as part of peace plan, Zelenskyy saysEnglish
53·8 days agoboth of these readings are valid:
(should become a victim of an act of aggression) or (an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used)
((should become a victim of an act of aggression) or (an object of a threat of aggression)) in which nuclear weapons are used
english is ambiguous in this case. don’t be dismissive of people for “reading comprehension” when it’s definitively ambiguous

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030English
1·8 days agoperhaps… i guess the single directional execution model would help to prevent memory leaks, and components would help keep things relatively contained… and also javascript in general avoids whole classes of c/c++ bugs… but it’s also incredibly slow. imo it’s just not something you should write core system components in
to be clear, it’s not react that’s the problem here: its execution model is an excellent way of structuring UI… but something as core as the start menu just really isn’t something you should fuck around with slow languages with
and also, that’s not to say that FOSS shouldn’t do it - they’re open, and thus something like react makes it easier for devs to write plugs and extend etc… but that’s not an engineering concern for windows: they don’t get the luxury of using extensibility as an excuse

the difference will be measurable and enormous

Technology@lemmy.world•Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. 404 Media Tracked Themselves.English
21·15 days agoyeah they do certainly exist, but bog standard “red light cameras”… ie single purpose cameras are not that kind of problem… imo, as long as they’re deployed to combat actual issues they’re very much a beneficial tool
i think it’s important to differentiate these new kinds of cameras from the single purpose cameras so that arguments against them can be made independently

Technology@lemmy.world•Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. 404 Media Tracked Themselves.English
6·15 days agored light cameras - at least in australia - are stock standard canon DSLRs… they take images, but not video
there are some newer ones that do things like photos of people using their phones stopped at lights etc, but generally speed/red light and “single purpose” cameras will just be doing stills, and wouldn’t be too useful for anything other than a single photo when the sensor triggers it

Technology@lemmy.world•Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game AwardsEnglish
7·15 days agothat’s all irrelevant though… the rule is the rule and they got caught
people should be allowed to have awards for games which only use humans, and if a game is caught cheating they should be disqualified
if they want to compete for some awards, these aren’t the awards for them: there are others

Technology@lemmy.world•Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game AwardsEnglish
6·15 days agoit’s irrelevant whether you agree with the rule or not… the award is for games that didn’t use AI during development. the game should not have originally been in contention for the award
i tend to agree this is the right way to use AI assets, but this isn’t the award for them… it doesn’t matter if it was accidental, if it was removed before release, or anything else

Technology@lemmy.world•Linux Kernel Rust Code Sees Its First CVE VulnerabilityEnglish
9·19 days agoThe software had a limit on the size of the feature file that was below its doubled size. That caused the software to fail.
this is not a rust problem… nor was the original problem of code writing entries to a file multiple times, and nor is the thing that made it worse: propagation of the poisoned file

7·20 days agoand these browsers are specifically not that… these browsers are intended to do things like categorise tabs, complete forms, etc automatically without your interaction
of course they’ll ask before they do things they consider destructive, but what they consider destructive and what a malicious actor can use are very different things
some of that is certainly benign, but the point with prompt injection is that it can take benign things and make them plausibly malicious
never mind a leg up… kids in a fucking papoose at this point
