I see that kind of thing more often labeled "open hardware" rather than open source.

Sure, but GTK and KDE aren't also cross-platform native.

I was highlighting this as a similarity between them, but I see how my comment can be ambiguous. The average Linux user isn't currently writing their own drivers or compiling their own kernels, even with its tiny relative userbase.

It's fast, quick, and easy, but it's peak programmer UI. It's pretty unattractive, does not integrate well with its host OS (in terms of behavior), and does not integrate at all with accessibility tools. At least last I looke

The difference is that the end user doesn't have to do it. Someone else is going to do it. Just like it is on Windows.

Scale is not immune to targeting. Laws are applied differently based on scale in an variety of ways. Businesses with fewer employees have exemptions from a variety of regulations. People with lower incomes have less to pay in taxes. Transac

Owning a baseball bat is completely legal. Swinging it in your immediate vicinity is completely legal. Standing within baseball bat range of other people is completely legal. But you'll quickly find yourself detained if you try to prac

Why would Gemini have any more insight than anyone else, let alone someone who's done hands on testing?

If they were any good at it, they'd have blocked the Internet Archive via robots.txt. For some inexplicable reason, IA responds to that by wiping out past, present, and future archivals of that site. They haven't taken that easy s

This same principle is why my favorite image generation model is the earlier models from 2019-2020 where they could only reliably generate soup. It's like Rorschach tests, it's not about what's there, it's about what you

It's wasteful. If someone built a clock out of 47 microservices that called out to 193 APIs to check the current time, location, time zone, and preferred display format we'd rightfully criticize it for similar reasons. In a world

A racist play on vibecoding with the popular ethnic slur "pajeet." Thus the cowering behind a fresh account.

Praise Gaben. That's the one thing I've needed in any replacement Steam Controller and Valve finally did it before the last of my OG Controllers gave up the ghost.

Because of that keyword, "was." The conservative stance has shifted to become more aligned with fascism.

I've never used one other than demoing the features, but not well. The camera can't actually see what's inside the fridge. The camera sits between the two doors on the top bevel, pointing down. As you cross the threshold of t

That would be great. That's not what's being sold nowadays. There's no tracking of who did what, the camera points pretty much straight down and it only even works if you pause and explicitly show to it the object that you ar

Apple's had a few bad streaks with their butterfly keyboards in terms of unreliability, and they're certainly not built for repairability, but that's a far cry from Samsung's appliances that are always looking for an exc

It would be. That was the original promise of the Family Hub+ fridges with AI Vision Inside™ technology. But you won't find that here, and it's not going to be coming in an update. This fridge can't properly identify fruits a

I'm working part time at an appliance showroom, it's exactly as silly as it sounds. We don't sell fruits and veggies, but we did have some pumpkins around. Put one in, it's confident I just fed it either an apple, an ora

Those Kindles, which I am also (mostly) okay with, are also $100 devices whose price is subsidized by those ads. These fridges are $3500 typically, and theoretically an MSRP of $4700. They're at the high end of consumer appliances. I d

You don't need a whole browser for that, just a VPN. And that'd likely get their servers blocked for their users if Google's cracking down on them already.
352.
by jdiff 11mo ago
A VPN and a privacy-focused browser have similar practical usefulness to a private search engine. They cannot be used to create a private search engine.

Your circles might have a little more technical literacy than most. I'm working part time in retail at a hardware store currently and the amount of people who come in looking for parts specified exclusively by a single AI overview is m

This is getting faded out, but this is absolutely right. For very few use cases do you truly need the bleeding edge. So many things do not have such strict requirements, and will meet all necessary requirements on an older node. An ATTiny85

I have never myself seen a situation where cited sources on Wikipedia did not back it up where that fact wasn't already noticed and called out by someone else. It is a frequent and common occurrence with LLMs.

Except when they cite sources that do not say the thing that they attribute to the source, which is more often than not when I go to investigate sources.

Don't worry, I'm sure we can just keep handing out subprime mortgages like candy forever. Infinite growth, here we come!

Yes. The USA runs on undocumented work in many ways. This is a far, far, far (etc) cry from government-funded citizens escorting around and signing up for lines of credit and otherwise paying the way for undocumented workers.
