I guess I'm a Luddite. I drive old (but still nice!) cars for security reasons, and they typically have only basic radios+bluetooth (or I add bluetooth or Avantree Roadtrip) and lighter plug chargers, so I can run audio through the car

Actually that's a good question. Perhaps an answer is that they are looking for still-supported firmware or needed WOL as such a core feature and perhaps apps couldn't just run on just Linux, but it is still a good question: why r

Matamoros is INSANELY dangerous. It is impossible to overstate that.

Regulating prices produces situations that are rife with unintended consequences. Choose a different brand instead (unless that brand has a monopoly, which is only the case in a few industries.)

If you are a Luddite like me, an old-school Speed Queen (yeah, same brand as in the laundromat) with mechanical switches will almost never break.

"The training and serving code, along with an online demo, are publicly available for non-commercial use." (from Vicuna's home page.) In what universe is that "open source"?!

Then they wouldn't be nearly as good. You're training GPT for them for free (or even paying them for the privilege.)

I wish someone would launch an Irresponsible AI challenge. That'd be a lot more fun and interesting. Oh, wait, Mozilla? So trustworthy (in their own vapid minds)

Counterpoint: after they fired their CEO, he founded Brave, which seems to be doing just fine. And I take issue with Mozilla not being a for-profit org, despite whether they are a "non-profit foundation" or not; they made literall

Does that only apply to API usage and not ChatGPT the web app? It would seem to, because the web app doesn't seem to expire your old chats.

SVB's eventual consistency was a bit too eventual.

ChatGPT "lies" like crazy, but that's what we asked it to do. It's hard to generate fresh and innovative content without also inventing facts from time to time; it's not too dissimilar from the imaginative play that

The most amusing part about this is that literally the entire Spanish language is gendered, so we should probably change all words to 'x' replacements as well. No more "los gatos"! Lxs gatxs has so much more of a latin

Like most approaches to antitrust enforcement, this one is probably meaningless at best, and might also result in the loss of choice for customers. Apple will probably make it very, very challenging to access this "open" iMessage

That's worse. A self-hosted mail server implies a significant cost investment that probably wouldn't be required for ye olde hotmail account.

Try getting a fresh IP from your ISP. I had a single IP that was blocked (incredibly annoying, and apparently impossible to have cloudflare fix it), but triggering a DHCP change caused me to get a good one.

The cloud is always stupid expensive compared to running your own hardware for almost any sort of task that isn't highly variable upon one or more axis (cpu, ram, etc), but less than a week to break even is truly shocking.

"the corporation, which is owned by no one" Conflating the legal fiction of the personhood of a corporation with the fact that it cannot be owned, or worse, has no owners, is not something I'd expect to hear from a WaPo journ
