Biden gets a rousing tribute from Democrats as he passes

I knew he was sick, but holy crap.

the torch to Harris in 2024 DNC speech

Oh, phew

Their GPUs are already bricks. Just throw the GPUs.

Hey look, the classic “America bad” comment on a post critical of China!

Are these people bots or something? It’s possible to be critical of both at different times.

While I agree, it makes connecting to localhost as easy as http://0:8080/ (for port 8080, but omit for port 80).

I worry that changing this will cause more CVEs like the octal IP addresses incident.

Edit: looks like it’s only being blocked for outgoing requests from websites, which seems like it’ll have a much more reasonable impact.

Edit 2: skimming through these PRs, at least for WebKit, I don’t see tests for shorthand IPs like 0 (and no Apple device to test with). What are the chances they missed those…?

What’s wrong with putting tampons in the men’s restrooms at schools? Won’t they come in handy if there is a shooting?

Anyway, this reads to me like free advertising for Walz.

(Disclaimer: do not try to use a tampon to patch a bullet wound)

Imagine how different the story would be if they compensated people for this data. “10% off Geforce NOW if you let us use your gameplay footage as training data!” (for example)

This is obviously cheaper and there’s way more data to train with, but it just continues to skirt a line in copyright law that desperately needs to be tested.

Honestly, regardless of what happens to Intel, I’m hopeful for Qualcomm providing a real alternative in the CPU space, especially an alternative as meaningfully different as using an entirely different instruction set. More diversity between competing products in the space can only be a good thing since it gives consumers more meaningful choices to make when deciding between products.

People talk at the urinal?

People on Chrome adding Reddit to their Google searches already use Google. People not using Google who don’t search “Reddit” are going to see fewer Reddit results.

No, this won’t kill Reddit, but it certainly isn’t helping them get more traffic.

Joke’s on Reddit. I’ve been blocking their results in the search engine I use for months!

I wonder if this will end up being pursued as an antitrust case. If anything, it’ll reduce traffic to Reddit from non-Google users, so hopefully that kills them off just a little faster.

Looks like the article requires an account. Is there an archived version?

If Biden wants the immunity amendment to pass, he needs to show people what the decision means, guns blazing (okay maybe not that extreme). Otherwise, these would never pass. They make too much sense.

GN’s charts usually compare against a few gens of somewhat comparable products, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 12th gen CPU or two on the charts. I’d also expect to see some 7000 series Ryzen chips and maybe a 5000 series one. I believe they normally include these older gens for people who skipped a gen or two to see what they’d get out of an upgrade.

In Philadelphia, PA, Trump warned that if Democrats win, “you will never see oil again,”

Say no more.

I don’t know if people have just gotten meaner over time or if that is how it has always been, but there are a lot of people who are very unpleasant to interact with, both on and off the internet. It can be stressful trying to interact with new people because it’s a dice roll on whether they’re friendly or condescending.

Anyway, just my observation. I don’t know if that has anything to do with social media, but it wouldn’t surprise me I guess.

MLK Jr. got shot. Anyone who makes a lot of enemies is more likely to have this happen. Trump certainly made a lot of them.

And while I’d love for them to take gun control seriously, it’s more likely they’ll argue that everyone at the rally having a gun would have prevented it somehow.

Your lack of imagination

I don’t know why you think these ideas were mine, but I do work for a rather large company that has invested a lot of resources looking for solutions using these models. These ideas came from people far smarter than I.

The rest of your comment has so little to do with what I said that I’m inclined to believe it’s AI generated.

You’re right. Once it settles into its niches and the hype dies down, it won’t be overhyped anymore because everyone will have moved on.

I’ve been working with generative AI for years now and we still struggle to solve real world problems with it. It isn’t useless or anything. It’s way too unreliable, and this isn’t one of those things where time will solve it - it’s being used to solve problems that have no perfect solutions, like human interfacing and generating culturally-appropriate and visually-accurate images. I’d expect it to improve at those tasks over time, but the scope needs to drop from every problem humanity has ever faced to the problems that these models are good at solving.

As much as I dislike Nintendo, the Switch is an excellent console despite its hardware. It’s no surprise that it’s been as popular as it has been for so long. These days though, there are a lot of competitors in the handheld space that have much better hardware, so it really maintains its position due to a combination of branding and the game exclusivity.

I’m curious what their next console will be. I probably won’t buy it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also a huge success.

There are emergencies the adults at the school won’t understand. This has happened a few times to my spouse, where the nurse/teachers kept brushing off issues they didn’t understand, ranging from things like asthma to strep throat.

Otherwise, I agree that the phones should be put away during class.
