Windows versions running on Linux over Proton tend to be more stable than any native Linux version would be.

AI is a great use for this kind of boring, rote translation where precision is important. Humans are quite bad at it and tend to make mistakes. In either case the focus should be on improving testing, not trying to manually verify if the tr

Surely rented GPUs would be used for inference, which runs anywhere and needs to scale much larger than a training run.

It's also sensible for them to provide a cheap, intelligent model to users if they have capacity, then once they built a user base, tighten the screws. All the other AI providers have done that.

Stop publishing them! Vibe coded projects are totally fine for your own consumption. But if you're not going to do the real hard work - build a community, fix bugs and add flexibility for all types of users - just keep it to yourself.

They already invested in the massive datacentres of GPUs sitting idle. They have fewer users so they can deliver more inference per user - more thinking, larger models.

It's not easy. I learned Japanese at 28 and am now proficient. But I didn't want to spend my whole life asking other people to translate things for me, being permanently ostracised from conversations, or causing problems for other

Some of it sure. But "30mins" has no space, "Where it was really weak was UI design.", "reasoning were top-notch", etc. prosidy in general has Eastern European / ESL feel. LLM-assisted yes, 100% LLM-gener

They're definitely original human thoughts. It's just written like a sales pitch. Author is CEO for an AI company it seems, so perhaps they live in a LinkedIn bubble where everybody talks about AI like this.

Isn't it already ridiculous that we can get to the other side of the world in half a day? It used to be straight up impossible, and then it took months by boat. We're now at diminishing returns, saving a couple of hours. How long

There's shrinkflation for sure. Take Torikizoku for example. One plate = 280yen from 1985 until 2017. Now it's risen to 337yen while also reducing in size by 30%.

Historically, no. Prices were basically flat for a long time until covid.

Yeah but now apps will have to start shaving off memory and maybe going native again. So it'll end up okay.

Agreed, that's the single biggest discriminator between the two (now that airbnbs are no longer cheaper than hotels). You can automate check-in/check-out but you NEED a front desk with at least one person.

A lot of hotels nowadays automate check-in and check-out completely. I stayed at Henna Hotel in Japan which genuinely has nobody at the front desk (although it does have an animatronic dinosaur which bows to you), and wondered how I would h

by rjh29 4mo ago
Probably true for humanity in general, but I would hate having a doorman and having to greet them every time I enter and leave. I've been in airbnbs where I had to do it, and I didn't like it. Same with the article's QR codes

You can go to plenty of chains in Japan where you can spend an hour, you'll still spend half of what you pay in the UK. McDonalds too, a Big Mac meal is £7.99, it is £3.60 in Japan.

Very much a UK problem. Almost 10 quid of labour to cook a simple asparagus dish? VAT exceeds price of ingredients. This is why going out to eat is a huge luxury here. Meanwhile in Asia you can get cooked meals for less than a dollar from a

I've noticed a lot of Americans have an anti-union sentiment, probably a product of indoctrination.

I've co-op games with my friend who lives 2 hours away. Same household should be fine.. It helps if your desktop is plugged into ethernet.

The Steam Deck also sells out but the overall userbase is a drop in the ocean compared to the Switch.

by rjh29 4mo ago
If you want to maintain the PC (replace or upgrade parts) the Steam Machine seems like a worse choice over a mini-ITX build. The price for the two is comparable. If you want a console I agree, it's expensive but you can leverage your e

You can also stream games from your powerful PC to the mini PC using Steam, so specs are not as important.

They're playing a cat and mouse game hoping LLM intelligence will outpace the growing complexity and unmaintainability of their code base.

Gemini is also buggy as heck and has been buggy for years. For a company of Google's size with "all the power of AI" it's seriously embarrassing.

Who thought that? The switch was an explosion when it launched.

This is a non-story, insofar as the V3 shutdown has been in the works for years and has been rolled out since a year ago at least. I stopped being able to use them about six months ago.

There is a custom element picker.

A few things imo, 1) not prompting precisely enough (narrowing scope) means your agent will scan your entire code-base and sometimes get stuck looking at things repeatedly. 2) not checking the output is usually fine but sometimes it produce
