It would be next to impossible for anyone without insider knowledge to prove that to be the case. Secondly, benchmarks are public data, and these models are trained on such large amounts of it that it would be impractical to ensure that som

Let's stop anthropomorphizing these tools. They're not "purposefully lying", or "know" anything to be true. The pattern generation engine didn't take into account the prioritized patterns provided by its a

The features you mention might be useful, but they're certainly not required. If your program has grown so complex that users would benefit from modular configs, references, and so on, then a configuration file is the wrong approach fo

Glorified? They're just text files. The reason they're called configuration files is because they're often meant to be edited directly by the user. Which is why there are so many configuration formats, since everyone has a di

But Mac sales pale in comparison to iPhone, and are similar to iPad numbers. So whatever revenue they would lose by not selling Macs with macOS, they could easily make up from additional sales of iPhones and iPads with macOS. Besides, they&

This is quite intellectually lazy. The article mentions numerous examples of how "AI" services erode privacy. And, really, you don't need anyone to tell you these things. If you're remotely technically inclined, which is

Part of the reason why I don't want to buy/drive a car are stories like this. They're practically locked-down computers on wheels, where the manufacturer is in full control of every operational aspect of the machine. The cons

I don't think it's an existential crisis for console manufacturers, but it's certainly part of a shift in how we think about "consoles". Microsoft has seen the writing on the wall for years now, and they've exp

This is great to see, and I'm sure it will nudge some people to give Emacs a try who wouldn't have otherwise. I've been using Emacs with a custom configuration for many years now, but when I needed a good IDE for working with

I didn't downvote you, but you have a misconception. There's no such thing as an Emacs "look". Its appearance, UI and UX, are wildly different depending on how the user wants it to look and behave. Considering that it is

I've been happy with OpenObserve for personal use. It's a minimal deployment, so I'm not sure how well it scales, but I really like that it's self-contained, easy to deploy and manage. Not having to think about integrati

Here's a thought experiment: if modern machine learning systems existed in the early 20th century, would they have been able to produce an equivalent to the theory of relativity? How about advance our understanding of the universe? Tea

Not all "AI"-generated content can be categorized as "slop". "Slop" has a specific meaning, usually associated with spam and low-effort content. What Kagi News is doing is summarizing news articles from differe

Thank you for the candid reply, and I apologize for my hostile tone. To be honest, I don't think there's anything you/they can do, other than heavily rebrand or shut the project down. I find the entire premise of a commercial

What a bizarre product. Weirdly political message and ethnic branding. I suppose "ethical AI" means models tuned to their biases instead of "Big Tech AI" biases. Or probably just a proxy to an existing API with a custom
