Dude will crash his rockets and people say the company is successful. It’s bananas.

This is how Discord works.

I’ve two separate friends who lost access to their accounts. One lost it via hacking or social engineering, and the other lost access because their mail service shut down. Both long time users, with the subscription bullshit.

Both struggled with support, neither got their accounts back. Both made new accounts and continued paying the subscription. Absolutely bonkers.

Gay dude here. I don’t speak for all the gays but if you mock LGBTQ+ people for supporting Trump, that’s perfectly fine. Only idiots are LGBTQ+ and vote conservative.

Tear them a new arsehole. They’ll probably even enjoy that; more holes for their favourite pedo government to fuck them in.

Don’t know if they do LLMs but they’ve had machine learning features for years. They added the ability to extract subjects from images and turning them into stickers back in 2023.

Don’t know if I’d call that an intention of the machine but rather the creator. Hate to be that kind of person but it’s similar to the whole thing of “guns don’t kill, people do.”

LLMs aren’t people. They’re not self-aware and don’t have any inner complexities like say, a dog, or a sheep has. There’s no drive or motivation. It’s just maths.

If you tie someone to a train track, and a train comes along killing them, it’s not like the train or the track intended to kill the person. That was the intent of you, who “programmed” the scenario.

Similar to guns, strict control is what will be needed to fix these kinds of things. Megalomaniac billionaires who see people as nothing but numbers running amok with narcissistic manipulator systems isn’t a recipe for anything good.

It’s a direct follow-up on a question about if you can create widgets on your home-page. At least I think that’s the interviewer asking a question, it could be a weird Trump-like ramble from the CEO as well.

I didn’t like the previous CEO, particularly given her connections to Airbnb, but this one is undeniably worse.

“Definitely, the idea of extensions and just customizations in general is: can you create more of like a natural language interface that lets people do everything they want?”

What?

“There’s really no reason for anyone to say, ‘This is your browser; you can do whatever you want,'” Varma added.

What??

Are they drunk, or is my reading comprehension failing? I don’t understand these sentences.

Oh, I have seen those but never given them much thought. Thanks!

Is the metal circle meant to represent pizza?

I don’t think most companies will find much value in that though. I know that none of the infrastructure I work with uses heavy calculations, and if we tried to jam it in, we’d be making solutions looking for problems.

An email server doesn’t need a GPU, neither does a file server, or a website, or an e-commerce platform.

Suppose they could rent it out as supercomputers but I don’t think the return on cost is going to be that good.

That is bananas. What was Acrobat doing with the MBR?

The Nazi space company that keeps blowing up their rockets are going public? Okay. Hope they continue to crash.

If you poured your years working for the Umbrella Corporation, you kind of had it coming.

Actually it’s fair use. They stole everything after all.

That’s more or less how it works so unionising to get better working conditions would just be a win.

I’m so glad I didn’t go into games development. I make boring old business software and it’s great.

This is the only real way to view it.

They updated the privacy policy and contributor license agreement with no regard for the existing GPL license, or the 20 years of contributor work before them. They snuck in telemetry that uses Googles services. Since then they’ve turned the website into a massive advertisement for Muse’s cloud BS and subscription services, seriously go compare the site today with one from say 2021. It’s a marked downgrade.

They’ve also added a bunch of Muse cloud bloat to the application.

Muse Group is nasty, and I’ll always encourage people to use a fork instead.

Apple isn’t an advertising company so it feels like they’d be more up to not selling your data and such. But honestly I don’t really trust it.

I went from Android to iOS purely because I was sick of devices being supported for a year or two, when Apple supports their phones with mainline updates for six+. I feel like the overall user experience is better, it’s smoother, more polished, and I can do what I need to do rather than struggle with something half-baked.

My work phone is a Pixel 6, and I absolutely hate using it. Google hasn’t worked on the user experience even a little.

Would still rather a janky Linux phone that I actually own than anything else.

Facebook had lobbied so that the age verification is handled by the device rather than the application. The applications then need to check against this device API and conform accordingly.

This ends up cheaper for Facebook and opens up for future legislation to embed similar shit in the OS for companies to exploit.

I’d recommend the fork Tenacity over Audacity since the latter has been hijacked by Muse Group.
