Certainly if they falsified a federal crime, the penalty shouldn’t be any less than wire fraud, which is up to 20 years in prison.

I guess we’re calling geothermal energy “reverse solar” now. This is silly marketing.

This machine uses 75kWh per day to make 1 gallon of gasoline. Using the cheapest electricity in the country, that’s $9.29 per gallon (+ the machine itself is $20k).

3/4 of a second is quite noticeable. Most UI animations are only 100-200ms, and if you disable them, things feel faster but less “polished”. Try it out yourself on your phone UI if you’ve got an Android.

I’m sure auto-generated captions will work great for channels like Primitive Technology where there’s no actual talking and the subtitles are describing what he’s doing…

It seems like SketchUp uses OpenGL, which should be supported just fine by a linux GPU driver. I haven’t tried it myself, but you could maybe try running it through Proton (idk if there’s a way outside of Steam?)

I didn’t even realize these were being manufactured by Sparkfun now. I’ve bought all my Teensy boards straight from the original designer: https://www.pjrc.com/store/ (It’s been several years since I’ve bought any parts)

I’d also argue a human monitoring your conversation would likely make similar mistakes in judgement about what’s happening, and this kind of invasion of privacy just isn’t okay in any form. There could be whole extra conversations happening that they can’t see (like speaking IRL before sending a consentual picture).

Me: What do you mean my server is old? I built it last year!

Server Uptime: 988 days(!)

Oh…

I don’t think it really matters how old the target is. Generating nude images of real people without their consent is fucked up no matter how old anyone involved is.

“A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.”

We’re going so backwards…

The diminishing returns are kind of insane if you compare the performance and hardware requirements of a 7b and 100b model. In some cases the smaller model can even perform better because it’s more focused and won’t be as subtle about its hallucinations.
Something is going to have to fundamentally change before we see any big improvements, because I don’t see scaling it up further ever producing AGI or even solving any of the hallucinations/ logic errors it makes.

In some ways it’s a bit like the Crypto blockchain speculators saying it’s going to change the world. But in reality the vast majority of applications proposed would have been better implemented with a simple centralized database.

Check again. Going from 600:1 to 60:1

On the bright side, after 10 years of doing it, you might improve the ratio to 1 hour of feeling like an idiot and 1 minute of feeling like a genius.

It must be hard to admit he spent billions on a slop machine. Sunk cost fallacy is probably one of many things they’re fighting.

AI Company: We added guardrails!

The guardrails:

Well on the bright side, maybe in a few years when people search for “office software” they’ll be directed to libreoffice instead of Microsoft

“High Quality Audio” in terms of the sample rate and bit depth, but considering the quality of most of these DAC/ADCs you get integrated in cables like this, I somehow doubt the data rate is actually the limiting factor on quality.

Personally I can’t tell the difference between 192kHz and 96kHz samples rates, or 16bit and 24 bit either (maybe a young kid with perfect ears could, but they’ll probably also notice background noise due to most of these using unfiltered USB power). The dongle manufacturers seem to care more about the marketing value of bigger numbers than actual usability.
