This is the trouble with namespace collision. It's like making an "Apple Game Jam" that's actually only about fruit. People are going to reach for the most immediate correlation they can get, and when you read "Deck

Normally I wouldn't upvote this because it feels news-adjacent, but this is a really interesting documentary. It's not impartial (no reporting on war will ever be) but it's very well-presented journalism and quite technically

The law quite obviously says that researchers cannot publish their name, address or phone number. This law is about providing anonymized data that is already collected during background checks. Agree with it or disagree, but at least get th

Yep. Most companies like OpenAI will strictly draft their liabilities from the start, which is smart. There won't be a "Raytheon sues OpenAI" news story if you don't make your product useful to them to begin with. It shu

If it's any consolation, Valve also makes it pretty easy to play GoG games on Deck. You can run GoG installers in Proton and set them up with their own virtualized C:/ drive like other Steam games. They do a good job ensuring that

Those accusations don't change much. I know United States attained Indian communications by using their deeply-integrated FIVE EYES backdoor to identify the collusion to Canada. They actually announced it in the original press release,

So the right move was to brazenly assassinate this person instead of accusing them? If what you're saying is true, the Indian government stands to lose quite a bit by killing their strongest evidence of American intervention.

A link to a homeserver? You'd probably end up building it yourself, unless you want to pay a premium for a prebuilt. A good LLM build maximizes the amount of VRAM you're getting for AI workloads. Shop around for a 3090 24gb if tha

Why do you want a laptop? You'll be paying for worse performance and less capable cooling. If you already have a primary laptop you use, it would be cheaper and higher-performance to build a CUDA-oriented homeserver and SSH into that.

Ideally, we get the best of both worlds. The isolation technology that Flatpak uses (bubblewrap) isn't exclusive to Flatpaked apps, so someone could probably make a distro with isolation by-default if they were motivated enough. > W

> a 13900 or 14000 intel CPU and an NVIDIA 4090 will give m3 performance ??? These are not comparable CPUs with similar core counts or clock speeds. Apple doesn't even sell a GPU that you can compare to the 4090 in benchmarks.

Generally, you'll have to build that layer yourself. No toolkits or SDKs that I'm aware of let you control a computer with an arbitrary prompt. That would probably be best relegated to an LLM that offers the user a suggested workf

I'll qualify myself. AI and LLMs of all forms we've seen so-far don't break any of our known laws of reality, or ideals of computing and the internet. That's why when I hear claims like "a rogue AI will x" I ha

Nobody has demonstrated that AI can be self-motivated or operate without extreme human supervision, much less start a cult that kills us all. I don't even think it has the context length to understand it's own ambitions. It's
