We should be thinking pretty hard right about now why this kind of progress and saving these expenses is a BAD thing for humanity. The answer will touch deeply ingrained ideas about what and who should underpin and benefit from progress and

The binaries? This sounds like some kind of joke.

The irony is that this was probably straight in a system prompt to provide diversity in order to AVOID biases in the training data.

Yeah, there's usually no ill effects reported even from pretty strong ones, but lights in Stockholm, Sweden (which is itself pretty far south for an aurora in the first place) were reported to flicker earlier this evening. That's

Key is to not trust it, but use AI as an assistant that you don't trust. Even then, it can save you hours of work.

As others have said, this only for a particularly hairy product called XPF, not Avalonia, so the price point is probably warranted, lol. Basically, they remimplemented WPF itself, the whole shebang as far as they could, to make a transition

They didn't along with iOS? Oh come on! Apple... sigh I think this might honestly make iPad more appealing, and serve Apple more than they might think. The room for improvement on iPadOS seems greater than iOS due to iPadOS underutil

No, this release is not immutable like Fedora Silverblue. Ubuntu Core Desktop is planned to be, and was planned to be launched with this, but it was pushed back: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/02/ubuntu-core-desk

This is tantalizingly close in multiple benchmarks though. Pretty sure this one will finally be the open GPT-4 match.

Yes - for sure this AI is trained on their vast information base from their social networks and beyond but at least it feels like they're giving back something. I know it's not pure altruism and Zuck has been open about exactly wh

This is the first time I hear of a social network launching the business model to earn points for doom scrolling though.

Yes, I mean it's been shown how people with a loss of hearing have an increased risk of dementia and it's natural that this would apply here as well. It's just another form of lost stimuli. But there might also be medical rea

Surely, LLM's can be something other than either the coming of singularity or spam generation? In fact, much of the current use of LLM's today do not fall into either fostering the singularity or generating spam. Personally, I thi

I think we kind of already have the answer to this one. Commercial music that use computers to enhance the song or singer is already prevalent. Even straight AI assisted track generation probably already happens. People don't use to mi

I'm not sure what your basis is for this claim? I've most certainly discovered artists from Spotify and later on bought e.g. merch to support them. I would in a heartbeat also go on their concerts if I was given the opportunity wi

by jug 3y ago
Yeah, no cash in it but I figure it's mainly to gain exposure to hopefully later on get those into the "playing gigs" / merch audience, because reach is on the other hand massive on Spotify.

Yes, I agree and I think there is a hurdle in mucking with file formats alone because it always affects interoperability somewhere in the end. I think this also needs to be accounted for - the advantages need to outweigh this downside becau

At least now with Jpegli, this will surely be the nail in the coffin for WebP? The article has 35% compression improvements over JPEG mentioned and that's at least as much as usually thrown around when discussing WebP.

by jug 3y ago
Their claims about Jpegli seem to make WebP obsolete regarding lossy encoding? Similar compression estimates as WebP versus JPEG are brought up. Hell, I question if AVIF is even worth it with Jpegli. It's obviously "better" (

Giddy is maybe the wrong word but I am happy about it. He has acted indifferent during the trial which makes it likely that he could become a repeat offender. This was a strong motivation behind his sentence. If the judge is right in that,

Yes, and they basically conclude that OpenAI might be a better choice for you despite Claude 3 Opus technically performing better. > While Opus got the highest score, it was only a few points higher than the GPT-4 Turbo results. Given th

I'm not sure what you mean. You don't have to buy this GPU and it's clearly not geared towards gaming any more than the A100 was.

Almost sounds like a GPU vendor who isn't seeing enough competition.

One of those articles I'll upvote here but not reshare, because it's too niche in my social media presences and people won't read it. But damn, this stung because I think it reads true not only for a 66 year old but for a 40

From Redditors at /r/ClaudeAI this seems to be a common bug. People have got accounts back upon contacting them and I saw one even without doing anything, after a while... I very much miss an official comment on this though. It&#x

There is also an explicit clause about on anti-circumvention in the DMA so they're on thin ice here. Article 13 is the fun one for Apple: https://www.eu-digital-markets-act.com/Digital_Markets_Act_A...
