Every time I thought the US was stupid for doing a thing, the rest of the world followed with the same bullshit a few years later. Some sooner, some later. The US is not more stupid, they’re trendsetters.

I tried the link preview feature as well, and to say the response to it is overblown is putting it mildly. I haven’t looked at the source code, but based on how it appears to work I’m not sure it even qualifies as AI. It basically selects 2-3 sentences from the reading mode version of an article, but the selection is so bad it might as well be random. Not surprising as it’s a tiny model that runs locally and is only given a second to make the selection.
I actually laughed when I saw it - this is what all the weeks of fuss were about?
Baking soda or baking powder? Because some (most?) baking powders do contain aluminium salts and some people are put off by that. Maybe that carried over to baking soda too.
And it’s not even a new account.


Well there’s no shortage of those, and they’re unusually cheaper too (unless they’re specced out). I prefer a thin silent one myself, so I welcome this innovation.


Yeah, it seems the sensor costs as much as a decent used camera.


I remember people being upset by the ribbon back when office 2007 was released. Their complaints made sense until I sat down and used it. Found it to be a great improvement. I switched my libre office to the ribbon layout as soon as they added it. Because I don’t use it often, it’s great for finding stuff compared to looking through the menus.
The nice thing about the LO implementation is also that they added a couple of varieties of the design, like the compact one which pushes things closer together so it’s not distracting.


Yeah it’s the equivalent of finding two dollars on the ground and getting excited because at this rate you’ll be a billionaire soon enough. There’s less than 2g of plastic in an SD card - the buttons on your shirt probably weigh more.


Games are already horifically inefficient
That’s so far from the truth, it hurts me to read it. Games are one of the most optimised programs you can run on your computer. Just think about it, it’s a application rendering an entire imaginary world every dozen milliseconds. Compare it to anything else you run, like say slack or teams, which makes your CPU sweat just to notify you about a new message.


With 30% ownership it could have been at the forefront of generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022.
Do they think openai invented the concept of generative ai, because that’s what their statement implies?


It’s not that uncharacteristic. Mono is a fully open source project they didn’t create, didn’t really work on, and one they can’t extract any value from. So this is basically a gesture that doesn’t cost them anything, but at the same time it doesn’t do much except generate a headline.


Khtml was licensed as LGPL.


At least it’s symmetrical so it won’t rock, unlike every other phone out there now, including the one I’m typing on.


You say that as if solving grid storage wasn’t one of the most important problems humanity faces right now.


I was just introducing someone to Rodney last night because some actor in a show we saw looked a bit like him. Then I wake up and see this here. Life sure has funny coincidences sometimes.
Shame he didn’t have a scandal on that stage. They would have stopped taking about it within the day.
RaspberryBye.
And if you only ever used it for describing weather, that would be an argument to make. But you use it everywhere, I mean just search for the term “cooking temperature” on Google images and you’ll see a bunch of nonsense.
But even using it just for weather, this is still not a good argument, as the perspective of hot and cold is very very subjective, and changes constantly. To me, an outside temperature if 10C feels freezing cold in September, but it’s reasonably warm in January. Or an inside temperature of 24C will feel amazingly cold on a 42C July day, but super warm on a -10C December night.
