I don't buy this progress analogy. I'm from Scandinavia where we have Bang&Olufsen which were early adopters of touch controls, and it never came to sit well with me, knobs are still better. I also used to produce music and bu

To me teslas are still annoying and dangerous because of a bunch of small things last time i rented one, like buying a great computer, but the screen colours are inverted: 1) No buttons but shit quality touch "areas in places you have

True, the fact we now also have LLM models at 2.7B parameters that are "actually coherent and useful for niche work" like PHI-2 on my Macbook Air running super fast at 25 t/s or 12 t/s for Mistral_0.2 as an _somewhat_ kn

True but you could make the api restricted, having certain routes completely locked, some requiring double checks, some requiring on screen approval or face-id, throttling outside fetches, only being able to run get and not etc, no financia

Eh no, 7B Mistral / Deepseek would certainly almost already be able to function as a super Siri, but probably something closer to PHI-2 + the new MLX apple optimisations. Have you tried those? https://twitter.com/awniha

Tangent but why does so many companies keep hiring consulting companies (a little different) that come in and do nothing but waste everyone's time - is it yet another managerial class excess / nepotism / business theatre or i

Okay this right here is PR. This is perception management by an oligarch.

I wonder if physiognomy will come back as a field, if AI scans like these have any validity. I remember stumbling upon multiple esoteric accounts on both Twitter and Tiktok with communities seemingly obsessed with characterising various psy

Are people actually using this to 10x themselves / create actually profitable services already? Or more like finetuning a model to have an edge on the leaderboards for a day or two then taking VC money, or integrating som "AI magi

Great news. Adobe is already the kind of company that should be forcefully closed down for scamming people with their subscription practices. The sign up, and cancelling process of their various services are so "dark design" it&#x

A nanoscopic amount of artists sabotaging a few images will not do anything to anyone, there'll just be a small version bump in vision models and the 0.0000001 contaminated images will also be classified correctly. While i really feel

Never used Xcode as anything other than a dependency for other dev stuff and in that case it's huge, takes ages to install, doesn't clean itself after installation and easily fills 50-100 gigabytes with useless "simulators&qu

Just curious if uBlock was still king as i'm using Safari/Orion since some time ago because of battery life.

Isn't uBlock origin the much better option for Firefox? And if so there should be some community effort to remove these scammy and deceptive alternatives.

Yes, i'm pretty sure no more than 5% of breches and leaks gets public press. There's so many internal company filters a breach has to go through to become public all the way from some engineer messing up and "just closing the

I feel like theres a potential for B2B solutions in this space. Especially for workers who want to bootstrap something quick, avoid something like Teams or other behemoths, create something for a one time survey, campaign, shorter process e

You either have a bad screen or limited eyesight, it's quite funny to me that this is the most upvoted comment. There's definitely very ugly "banding" going on in the gradients on the WebP versions i say as someone who&#

Thanks for the examples. I've used SD / Midjourney / Dalle extensively and would say this is honestly shockingly bad besides the two last ones. Comparable to the first versions of the other services, but with better contextua

You've got to be kidding me. This almost deserves its own post. That last picture is still so horribly bad it's no wonder Google made it almost impossible to access this tech. How did Google drop the ball on AI like this when they

The Yemen civil war is 9 years. So on average 1300 kids a month? If the Israeli military has killed 8000 kids, that's in two months, so way more than even the dirtiest of other wars, and really the west should be held to higher standar

The two parties both represent the same class interests with slight differences in a thin veneer of identity politics. There's never been an alternative to vote for, and every attempt gets smeared in the media owned by the two-party sy
