Exactly. Continuous improvement where all relevantly stakeholders are taken into account should be the norm.

Exactly, concentration of attention onto singular figures as role models should be avoided; kind of like how we agree that it is healthier for the EU citizens to have a more diverse market than concentrated monopolies. We do have to recogni

Perhaps Grok was not trained to go so much time with 0 responses due to the downtime?

Agreed! Although I'm no survey expert, the thing I'd like to bring to everyone's attention is how easy it is to not take into account people that have a degree of numeric or math illiteracy... which I guess they are the main

What I've heard is that Kent is very proactive in listening to any and all bug reports to chase down root causes of issues like yours. I'm sure that any information you send his way to try to reproduce the issue would be helpful.

Thanks for correcting me, I would've sworn this was about a truck with autopilot. So, if I'm understanding it correctly: although the driver was at fault, there were systematic failures in training personnel that would've pr

Very well put. You're promised Artificial Super Intelligence and shown a super cherry-picked promo and instead get an agent that can't hold its drool and needs constant hand-holding... it can't be both things at the same tim

Nice! Thanks for the link. I noticed they didn't mention MOCOR OS (for the new Nokia 3210), but then I remembered that that's not an Android version. I'll see if they can add it somewhere else. Unrelated, but this led me t

That too is becoming overpriced. Besides, that makes it hard to find what you're looking for, and it doesn't speak to the fact that we, the people, also deserve to be able to buy new stuff at reasonable prices, without some carte

Some models are useful; using whisper.cpp comes to mind to create subtitles for, for example, family videos or a lecture you attended without sending your data to an untrusted or unreliable company.

Or worse, they weren't meant to be portrayed as edgy and misunderstood to lure lonely people into cults of hate. NB: from what I understand, some cult members joined because they felt part of a community; so, to them, it has a high cos

As someone unfamiliar with Rust (yet! it's on my ever growing list of things I'd like to absorb into my brain), unwrap_or_else() sounds like part of the "What You See Is What I Threatened the Computer To Do" paradigm.

That's not disproving OP's comment; OpenAI is, in my opinion, making it untenable for a regular Joe to build a PC capable of running local LLM model. It's an attack on all our wallets.

I wonder who the "visionaries" were that set the marked increase trend of max prices near 2024-12-09 for DDR4-3600 2x32GB and DDR4-3600 2x16GB? I think that acted as a dog whistle for the rest of the market signalling there'd

The framing of this is, in my opinion, wrong. I'd like to be able to play unranked matches in spite of the anti-cheat system (which is probably a an anti-piracy enforcer) not working. I play games to have fun; yes, cheaters suck the

I should note that, instead of "customize settings" should read as "interact with the app" (as in permission prompt pop-up preventing interaction with main app).
