Frequency doesn’t equal performance. If you’ll recall, the Pentium 4s were bumping against 4.0 ghz clock rates and the core processors came along and frequencies dropped to 2 while gaining mucho performance.

8GB is not enough for electronification and for the even further enshittification on the web today. I would tend to agree that needing 16gb just to browse the web is insane, but it’s where these apps are at right now and we should expect it

They won’t catch much anyway. Most inspectors take a short stroll through the house, test one or two receptacles and call it a free $400 after that. Their visit is shorter than when you looked at the house. Maybe there’s good reputable insp

They save you maybe like 2-5000 worth of time sometimes if you have a good, knowledgeable realtor who has done their homework. Beyond that, 6% is obviously asinine.

Where it comes from is that AI cannot create beyond its training scope. If you ask an AI to train itself from its own images, it’ll always actually become worse using its own evaluation. If you ask a human to train themselves, the human wil

Fine. Then Walmarts “consultant fees” for a one person company that happens to share an office space with 5000 other companies in a tax sheltering country most likely grew substantially. All that really matters here is that we stop pretendi

Here’s an article specifically on the legality of photo bashing: https://www.owe.com/is-fan-art-legal-fair-use-what-about-mas... Your “carte Blanche fair use” claim is nonsense. Copyright owners can, in fact, today stop der

Ad hominem usually demonstrates you know that you’re wrong. I am not the one arguing that a computer has thoughts, feelings and intent as you are here. It is you that is deliberately attempting to misunderstand through ignorance, lies, and

Funny how you declare photo bashing as “fair use” but a cursory glance at the actual legality shows that you’re lying and that it is also in a somewhat ambiguous grey area at the moment, with lawsuits pending. It is also massively frowned u

Prove it. Train an AI just on a few techniques. Then a couple fundamental stock photos with nothing but the subject. Then have it generate things outside of the realm of the stock photos recombined in a general style. Let us see your comple

Prove it. Fundamentally, AI image creators stitch together images, then try to apply an art style. You might call it “unique” because it stitches things together wrong (hello 10 fingers on one hand), but it is still fundamentally just copyi

You are actually the one doing something though. If a line appears on the page, it’s because that’s your intent. For an AI, when a line appears, that is always someone else’s intent. AI can only copy. I mean. Do we really need to go over al

Well. One risk now is that Firefox will become a part of copilot, and thus its code will feed Microsoft browser development regardless. This is not what open source is supposed to mean.
