Yeah, my keyboard just straight up didn’t work when I got my laptop; thankfully the issue was already fixed in a newer kernel so I just had to update (using a USB keyboard, lol).

Hate to break it to you, but that’s not what you’re supposed to do with the joystick.

I mean, they’re not wrong, but it does hurt a bit.

Sell it to the merpeople, they’ll be happy to have a proper house for once!

Quantum entangled particles can’t influence each other; they just allow you to infer information about one particle by observing the other. It’s like if you randomly put a red and a blue ball in two different boxes without looking, then moved them far apart. Opening one box and seeing a red ball instantly tells you the other box has a blue ball, no matter the distance, but no information has been transmitted faster than the speed of light (because the boxes can only move slower than light).

Huh that’s really interesting, you’re right, and I learned a lot of new stuff about networking that I didn’t know before.

If you’re not on the same local network as the server and it’s not configured to be accessible from the general internet, you need some sort of proxy to access it.

Yeah this seems fine; if they’re proxying the stream through their server it’s using their bandwidth which costs them money. It doesn’t make sense for them to not charge for it.

True, my estimate for tokens may have been a bit low. Assuming a 7 hour school day where someone talks at 5 tokens/sec you’d encounter about 120k tokens. You’re off by 3 orders of magnitude on your energy consumption though; 1 watt-hour is 0.86 food Calories (kcal).

Around a year ago I bet a friend $100 we won’t have AGI by 2029, and I’d do the same today. LLMs are nothing more than fancy predictive text and are incapable of thinking or reasoning. We burn through immense amounts of compute and terabytes of data to train them, then stick them together in a convoluted mess, only to end up with something that’s still dumber than the average human. In comparison humans are “trained” with maybe ten thousand “tokens” and ten megajoules of energy a day for a decade or two, and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking.

I don’t quite remember whether it’s the rectangle with all the buttons you press or the TV with all the funny pictures on it, but one of those.

I liked generative AI more when it was just a funny novelty and not being advertised to everyone under the false pretenses of being smart and useful. Its architecture is incompatible with actual intelligence, and anyone who thinks otherwise is just fooling themselves. (It does make an alright autocomplete though).

“mostly unusable”

Just so you know, your name’s visible in the “Gemini crashes” image.

I can back that up; the drives I ordered were packaged in an antistatic bag, surrounded by an air filled cushion thing, in a hard cardboard box. (Assuming what I got was the “air pockets” it’s a plastic sleeve made of many pressurized sections that completely encloses the drive; definitely adequate IMO. I can dig up a pic if you want).

Makes sense; UEFI is the standard now, and maintaining backwards compatibility is expensive. I can’t see a reason why someone would need to use a latest gen AMD card on a non-UEFI system.

They’re not indistinguishable, downloading a video results in the same amount of data being transferred much more quickly. But your ISP couldn’t care less either way.

On my phone the site is very stuttery when scrolling. Could be a problem on my end but maybe do some profiling to see if it’s using a lot of resources and test it on lower end devices?

George Orwell’s 1984 becomes more of a reality every day.
