I’m one of those deranged few who actually used em dashes in my normal typing habits. Not super often the way LLMs are prone to, maybe once a month tops. Alt+0151 or Compose, dash, dash, dash.

Now a find myself reluctant to use what I felt was a useful bit of punctuation out of concern people might think what I’m typing was LLM generated. It sucks.

This is already pretty close to how many EVs are designed.

They’re all paying each other. That’s literally the point this image is trying to express.

What’s especially insane is that the companies that are actually providing the service to end users, i.e. Coreweave et al, are not the ones seeing massively inflated prices, contrary to your point about the monthly fees justifying the higher evaluation.

Compute will become pervasive, as in Windows experiences are going to use a combination of capabilities that are local and that are in the cloud.

…what does Davuluri think “pervasive” means?

It goes a layer further than that even. If the rate at which that growth is happening isn’t itself growing then investors start getting nervous.

The use of language like “unaware” when people are discussion LLMs drives me crazy. LLMs aren’t “aware” of anything. They do not have a capacity for awareness in the first place.

People need to stop taking about them using terms that imply thought or consciousness, because it subtly feeds into the idea that they are capable of such.

As the other person said, something is wrong if your machine is shutting down instead of just giving choppy playback.

Do you do much heavy CPU with with that machine at all? It’s possible that AV1 decoding is the only thing you’re trying to do that pushes the CPU to that degree. 7th Gen Intel CPUs have hardware decoders for h.265, so the CPU is barely used to play these back, but lacking a decoder for AV1 means it has to be decoded in software, which hits the CPU hard.

Literally no one I work with likes Teams but we keep using it because that’s just what we do. Other options basically don’t exist simply by virtue of being either not Microsoft or not overwhelmingly the market leader.

My most common use for Google assistant was an extremely simple command. “Ok Google, set a timer for ten minutes.” I used this frequently and flawlessly for a long time.

Much like in your situation it just stopped working at some point. Either asking for more info it doesn’t need, or reporting success while not actually doing it. I just gave up trying and haven’t used any voice assistant in a couple of years now.

I work at a “Microsoft Shop” in a division that was a previously acquired software developer that used and entirely linux based dev stack.

That stack is still all linux and we basically have to do all our work in WSL. It’s a pain.

Telling a Debian user that Mint isn’t the most up to date struck me as pretty funny.

It doesn’t matter if you have 2 Gigabit internet if no one in the world is uploading even half that fast. A single download on Steam is like 450 Mbps

This sounds more like the infrastructure in your area just isn’t up to delivering those speeds, regardless what the last mile to the home is.

I promise you Steam’s CDN absolutely can deliver more than 450Mbps. It regularly maxes out my 1.5 Gbps at home, and I have no doubt that it could potentially go even faster than that if I had a better connection.

Like plugging a 10Gbps network switch into a 100Mbps gateway, it sounds like a fast final link to the home is being choked out by poor infrastructure in the region and can’t be fully utilized.

It’s not great.

Our production servers are all Linux and we have a fully Linux dev stack. My request for a Linux work machine was denied and we have to work in WSL.

Is that a step further though? I feel like not giving kids access to VR Chat comes way before not giving them a smartphone in terms of restrictiveness or severity. It’s a far more reasonable suggestion.

I’m curious about how this impacts the buttons in the settings app that just open the appropriate control panel applet. Like “additional sound settings” for example.

To be fair his prior rant was about how bad he was at using and understanding Linux.

I’m all for more people switching to linux, but a lot of your windows issues sound less like windows issues and more like your specific installation is messed up somehow issues.

One thing I will mention though is that Windows does have native per-application volume control, you don’t need to install EarTrumpet. You can right-click the system tray volume icon and open the mixer, or just search for “volume mixer” in the start menu.

Yes. That’s exactly my point. Minimizing it in this case means having a judge without any dotted line connections to Google.

Not really. It could be simply that in an effort to not appear biased he over corrected and ruled more harshly against Google.

Now I’m not saying that this is what happened here, but it’s just another facet of why it’s important to avoid bias entirely, not simply trust that someone can rise above them.
