That's a naive point to take for two reasons: 1. You're not looking very hard, surveillance ware exists for employment, examinations and so on. It's not available on iOS, but is available on Android via side loading. Both Fac

I'm making a pretty valid point(note Android's outsized malware share) and we'll get to see it play out next year in the EU. It's interesting to me that your core argument is about making a choice whether or not to embra

I hear your argument, but it's not convincing. Your logic states that because an app can occasionally slip through the review process, that we should remove -all- protections. That isn't better, that's worse. A scam is also a

This sounds like a fair point until remembering that things like Boss-ware exist. An insurer/ health insurer, employer, government, etc will require it, and just like that the "just don't use them" crowd will hold up the

The flipside of this: locals also don't necessarily need to interact with foreigners. Altogether this might simply be another part of the "Loneliness Epidemic".

I thought that I play with is that the internet is also partially to blame – hear me out. In pre-internet times, immigrants faced the prospect of limited social contact unless they integrated with their communities. Alternatives to this was

The reason why I write these responses is that I value merit-based discussions. Far too much cheerleading goes on in HN. I've said it numerously: It's very difficult to hold Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. accountable for actual tr

Where the author leans into the advertising, you lean into tech, but would it not be fair to say that it is a tech -and- advertising company. That would more fairly represent Google's relevance than limiting it to either tech or advert

Stable diffusion is a memory hog - the discussion is about RAM. Figure it out. You pretend to know what you're talking about, but you are yet to put forth an argument in good faith. "You pity me" - fabulous. I recognise that

M-series 8gb MacBook Airs and 8gb MacBook Pros have now been in the market for years. The M1 Air launched in 2020. Yet you'll still have the usual zealots on HN claiming that they have this exact device and it's horrible and worth

1. The Macbook pro with 8gb won't take 24 hours to render a single image. Unlike the Raspberry Pi. It also runs the standard version of stable diffusion, not the cut down model to suit the raspberry pi. It's relevant to talk about

Pro is a feature level. An 8gb MacBook Pro can run stable diffusion. Find me a PC with a total memory footprint of 8gb that can even boot windows?

The odd thing about all of this - why do they think Apple will make the messages from other platforms blue? Of course they won't, because there won't be feature parity. The point of SMSes remaining green even though that they are

The EU have a proven history of not being very good at foreseeing obvious, unintended consequences, they also have no history of addressing those short-comings after they arise which is a weakness common to legislative bodies (large, slow,

You are right: borders don't matter - in reality the disease is eradicated well beyond the borders. Also keep in mind that many animals aren't great travellers, especially so if infected by rabies. Claiming eradication is based on

There is a danger in oversimplify AI results to present them in a way that implies humanness/intelligence, especially when more reasonable explanations are worthy of discussion. This type of writing leads to readers' hype and misc

> RAM and fan has nothing to do with it, the cheapest low-end Windows laptops can do this with ease, it doesn't stress the RAM, CPU or GPU at all. - M-series uses unified memory, the ram does in fact matter. - Heat also matters, bec

Then don’t buy the lowest-spec Apple laptop? Btw a quick check on Elitebooks start at $1,760 and support at most a single 5k screen.
440.
by quitit 3y ago
The answer is pretty straight forward: it has no fan and limited ram. It supports a 6K screen in addition to the built-in screen. It's reasonable to say that if you need 3 screens to get your job done, then that is not representative o

As you've stated people will make comparisons between the cheapest bottom rung slot-in ram against what's on offer from Apple's UMA. It's naive. But even when one could just pop in your own RAM, many would still buy Appl

Your doctor is providing a correct explanation for the care you're receiving as this is likely a sufficiently good approach for you in your circumstances. However diagnosis, especially in early stages, is enhanced by more frequent test

Usually when making a narrow variant of font for a logotype, one would correct the stroke and redraw tittles etc., so it doesn't look like a non-uniformly scaled piece of text. This just looks like the font Peignot scaled to ~43% width

While I think that's a valid point, for the purpose of the paper having a competent prompt writer would be needed to make a fair comparison. I think the researchers would know how to get the best from their own AI bot, so that's a

Having to identify as a chatbot and provide a call back number was a requirement under some states' laws - while this seems like something they should have looked into before advertising it, my comment was with a wider scope to how it

Google's smartphone/AI announcements are used to portray them as being massively ahead of their smartphone competitors. The actual product on the other hand is not what they advertise. Take Duplex for example. It was meant to be t

It also stinks of the "I'm the smartest person in the room" phenomena. As if no one here can plainly see the heavy handed labelling of established scientific facts as a "political opinion".

I distinctly remember a mud-slinging campaign aimed at OS/2 Warp because it had "one-button internet access", and this was deemed as deeply unsafe by various PR machines. I remember hearing that for weeks on local radio.
