Wanted to make the same comment. The title has such poor writing it made me question the rest of the article lol.

It's not quite the same, BlackBerry was mostly a 'phone' company and not a 'full telecom' company, in terms of hardware the produced. Nokia has other products that are more b2b than b2c.

That line essentially means 'indefinite support'. This paper was published some days ago that aims to define AGI: https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2510.18212 . But crucially, there is no agreed-upon definition of AGI

And in this case actually correct! Decimate is often used to mean “almost wipe out”, but the word actually comes from “killing every 10th person”.. I.e 10% of a group.

That first condition "try to understand the intent" is where it could go wrong. Maybe it thinks the spreadsheet aligns with the intent, but it misunderstood the intent. LLMs are a lossy validation, and while they work sometimes, w

Or worse - they can tell the difference but don’t think it matters.

At the risk of stating the obvious, meat is not the only difference in diet. But agreed that diet is also not the only link to longevity. Although a Mediterranean diet is higher on plant based foods, considered healthier, and those countrie

If you live in a rural village this probably doesn’t (or didn’t) seem necessary.

Yeah, you're right on all those fronts.. but they do own some large IP like Call of Duty which will continue to generate money for them for the foreseeable future. I did hear the speculation about Xbox as well and I hope it's not

Huh, that’s a funky statement because having “Azure”, one of the largest Cloud Providers outside of China is definitely a different camp than Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE. Although I don’t particularly like their cloud services they are unde

Although number of puzzles != time investment, selfishly I’m down for this change. As I get older it’s harder to find time to complete them, so I’m hoping this also relieves some of the (artificial) pressure to keep up with daily puzzles by

I’m not sure what those ads are. As others pointed out, plenty of choice out there. I’ve been a happy Debian user for over a decade.

That’s not really close to playing BF6 and other AAA games though

What do you mean by tech and compsci bubble? Many of the software engineers I interact with don’t seem all that optimistic or positive about the AI tools. There are bubbles for either side I think. But I’m one of those who hasn’t had great

“Third party browser”… I mean, unless you use Safari or Edge, you’re using a third party browser. I think you mean “not mainstream”, but even so I believe Arc is based on an existing browser engine like Gecko or Chromium?

Yeah but the “out of the box” experience tells you a lot about a product imo. I use windows only when I play a game, and wouldn’t touch it otherwise

I started watching short like a year ago. Three months later I decided it was a net negative on my life and I stopped. Never looked back, it’s such a waste of time

Eh, I agree with you but humans can’t really visualize / comprehend these distances regardless. It’s just “very far away”

This was a fun watch! I love in Ontario and go to the falls a few times per year. I just love looking at them and ponder about nature, and the scale of time. It’s one of my favourite places to go, and definitely where I take anyone visiting

Genuinely curious to hear why you think they make it harder and harder to read books? I've been using my Kindle daily since 2017. I read on both the Kindle device (Paperwhite and vanilla), the iPad and iPhone app, and occasionally the

And what does it mean to "use AI at home or work". Firing off the occasional ChatGPT? Using one of the many chatbots that's integrated everywhere? There's a big difference between using it like Google and really enhancin

I used Gemini at work, and would probably agree with your sentiment. For personal usage though, I've stuck with ChatGPT (pro subscriber).. the ChatGPT app has become my default 'ask a question' versus google, and I never reac

As a European who moved to Canada and spends a fair amount of time in the States, one thing that really surprised me is how hard it is to find healthy food options compared to the unhealthy ones. Food was a bit of a concern before moving, b

I currently have an m1 iPad pro, and I use it daily. Do I get the pro performance out of it? Probably not. I might still upgrade to the m5 for the better display though. These are my use-cases FWIW: - Goodnotes w/ the apple pen during

In a 1-to-1 situation you are right, a single human is not the scariest. But humans (mostly) dominated the animal kingdom, and with enough time we could probably eradicate every other species if we wanted to. I guess bacteria and viruses mi

So “guns don’t kill people, people with guns kill people”. But for AI I’m not sure that preposition will hold indefinitely. Although I do think we are a far away from having actual AGI that would pose this threat. Still, the author has a g

Yeah I love my M1 iPad Pro. But the "liquid glass" update made it feel slower. Really only the 'unlock' feels slower, once I'm using it it's fine. But it's slightly annoying and does make me want to update

Reminds me I haven't logged in to IRC in.. maybe 2-3 years now. It just kind of fizzled out as the main groups of people I interact with moved to Discord. But I kind of miss IRC.
