> We are just putting layer upon layer of complexity instead of simplifying. It really irks me that the direction every player seems to be going to is to layer LLMs on top of each other with the goal of saving money on inference while st

But then what's the point of buying a device like this in the first place? I agree with the sentiment, but I would only buy this device if I wanted to use Amazon's services. If I decided to customize it, I couldn't blame Amaz

All these doomsday posts are just wishful thinking. On one hand, it would be bittersweet to see them fail. On the other, the cat's out of the bag and boring world's realities such as high energy consumption won't put it back.

It's a game of leverage. Apple is stoking the fire to make consumers angry hoping the EU to pull back. EU is pushing forward hoping that there will not be enough popular opinion to sway its decision. In this case, I think EU has far bi

That was a weird comparison and I didn't understand what was meant exactly. Are you trying to say that remote work is somehow putting a burden on organizations? If so, probably wrong organizations have been in your radar.

Ironically, some (if not all) of the biggest companies in that market force their employees to work from offices, so they lose that potential consumer base right away.

Even more annoyingly, the bump is non-uniform with lens extruding even further from the entire bump. I have been annoyed by this design ever since they started with it. The last phone the design of which brought joy for me was my OnePlus 3T

In most companies this mythical collaboration doesn't exist unless it's between actual decision makers who steer the product's direction. In the end, most office employees just do their work, ask a question or two from their

Worse - you use that incorrect output because you don't understand the code that produced it. You base your decisions based on that output and then other decisions based on the previous decisions. At some point you realize that somethi

Also, a lot of the blue collar income comes from white collar people whose purchasing power is the main factor how much they can be charged.

That's fair, I apologize. I just meant to point out that these people are the prisoners of their regimes regardless of where they live, hence the inability to trust their actions not because of their personal prejudices but their inher

You are right. I still think it’s better if only our guys have this information than both, our guys and their guys. At least Western companies have the possibility to get regulated if political winds change.

Everybody misses the key information here - it’s a Belarusian app. CEO and CTO are Belarusian (probably there are more C-level people who are Belarusian or Russian). Not only are users giving up their private information but they are doing

We're rapidly reaching trough of disillusionment with LLMs, and other generative transformer models for that matter. I am happy because it will help a lot of misinformed people understand what is and isn't possible (100+% producti

LLMs work as intended. What about hallucinations make you think LLMs are buggy?

I am on the same boat but I'd say it does feel great since .NET belongs to .NET Foundation and is open source. Its development is very transparent too.

I agree. As usual these days, the culprit for lack of innovation is AI (mostly LLMs). Apple did try to shove it to the users unsuccessfully and they had the right amount of sanity to backtrack once they realized how the users' expectat

The data truncation for no apparent reason is the modus operandi of all the major LLMs. Then you instruct them to not truncate the data and they get over it but in the end you still cannot trust whether they did it or not unless you verify

It's not the reason why this conspiracy got started. It got started by a fraudulent pseudoscientific paper with financial ties to it. We shouldn't be reducing human intelligence and ability to process information to the "wet

I would really like to see one of these deepfake videos that managed to trick any competent interviewer into thinking it was real. I couldn't find anything like that on Youtube. Even in highly controlled environments the deepfake video

Sounds reasonable to me that the companies that hire to work remotely would like to have some live meet-ups once in a while. For the most part I wouldn't see a problem traveling to an employer's office for a week or so to start.

It's unfair to compare Poland with Baltics due to the size and diversity of the economies but adopting the Euro there has coincided with massive economic growth. I also think it's rather likely that comparable economic growth coul

I think you are highlighting the truly important bit here - that megacorporations are economy's cancer. I am on the side that work is work, there should be no emotional connection, except for the personal relationships. It is fine that

When initial Sora demos came out well over a year ago they looked impressive at first but still in the uncanny valley territory (current paid Sora offering is nowhere near those demos). Veo doesn't seem to be any better, it just has mo

Given that Youtube Premium is ~$20 USD and 30 TB of space would cost ~$130 (extrapolating from current Google Workspace pricing), that leaves all the AI fluff costing $100 more. I can see some people taking that deal but after a while reali

In a perfect world, we would agree on a wealth ceiling and would tax everything above it. Want that $200M yacht? Then better sell your mansion or the government will try to sell it. If nobody wants to buy it - it's your problem and a b

That's a really fun exercise. Mine shows: 1. A popular media personality I like and actually follow. The algorithm is sometimes OK with guessing the topmost post. 2. People you may know. 3. Some make-up advertisement by a Facebook user

I don't see any relationship between idolizing rich people as a culture and capitalism. There's also nothing wrong with capitalism when it's constrained by the rules and the rules are enforced.
