Yes, though this law specifically requires that users can “having their default feed … opt out of algorithmically recommended content and instead see posts only from the friends and creators they choose to follow.”.
Basically all platforms inject other posts in your feed somewhere either as “recommendations” or just paid ads, and very few default to your subscriptions when you open an app.
My doorbell is a sign that says “Knock”, because my 70’s doorbell is broken. It requires 0 cloud services to fix the problem of people pressing an unhelpful button.
[EDIT] To people downvoting this, did you read the article? Specifically, this part:
“Before we had the doorbell, people just knocked on the front door. But now, people would notice the doorbell and ring it instead. This would send a notification to our phones, and then it would also helpfully play a sound on the doorbell itself… outside the door… which we could not hear.”
He then goes on a tech bodgeathon to fix the button, instead of just placing a sing that says “Knock” to go back to the thing that worked before.
Ender 3v1 is like a project car. Terrible choice if you just want a reliable daily driver to print models with, but an excellent start if you want your hobby to be more about 3d printers itself, as you have to learn how to troubleshoot, fix, and improve it.
I learned enough to design and build my second printer mostly by myself.
Were they also trained on the vast quantity of media of gymnasts made out of pasta for them to be able to create videos of that?
One of the main points of GenAI is the ability to smush multiple concepts together. There are plenty of training data of children that are in swimwear, or just literally naked that has nothing to do with CP, and there’s boatloads naked adults and of course, porn, it can successfully combine them together even if there was no actual CP in there whatsoever.
Ender 3 was the perfect start if you wanted 3d printers as your new hobby. I learned enough modding, tuning and fixing that thing to design and build my second printer mostly from scratch.
If you instead wanted 3d printing to be the hobby, it was the wrong choice.
Hello, AI Effect.
Well, as long as you are using the crosswalk, you indeed have the right of way and the driver is required to yield.
But I don’t know what magical city you live in, as Finnish drivers definitely do not consistently follow that law - 60% of pedestrian injuries happen on a crosswalk, as do one fifth of deaths. Go walk across Helsinki without checking that the car actually will yield for you, and you’ll find yourself in the hospital in 15 minutes.
Because someone thought that people would like a TV where the functionality of an Apple TV box is built in, so you wouldn’t need one. And on paper, that indeed would be pretty neat.
Then inevitably, capitalism happened and enshittified that idea in a heartbeat.
From employee count they both would easily fit the legal US definition of a small business, as that’s usually 500 or fewer, but can be as high as 1500 in some industries, depends what they’d be classified as.
Some are just directly about revenue too, so you could in theory be too big to be a small business even if it’s just a single person - and by that standard, Valve is obviously not fit to be a small business.
True, he was born in South Africa to a Canadian mother, so his original citizenships are to those countries. He does have an American citizenship since 2002, however.
Though I heard that the idea that immigrants aren’t actually American even if they do get citizenship is currently a rather controversial topic over there.
Donut Media was the sponsor for the project.
He got replaced as a part of a government reshuffle caused by the dismissal of the old prime minister, most likely because he didn’t exactly agree with the military leadership and firing the commander-in-chief of the armed forces instead wasn’t exactly an option for Zelenskyy.
They didn’t, they bought the data, and only the data, in a bankruptcy auction.
Everything is on sale for the highest bidder in an effort to get as much money to pay the company debt as possible. Buying the actual company would be suicide, as then you also get all that debt.
The questionnaire first asks you if AI was used yes/no, and if you say yes it then asks you to describe in detail how and for what, and for many devs the first thing to do is to try to highlight all the important parts that it wasn’t.
If you want actually pretty good smart home stuff, and for cheap, go to IKEA. By default they require nothing but being paired to a button/dial/motion sensor that works entirely on a local mesh network (Zigbee, or more recently Matter over Thread) between the devices. You can buy a hub, which again by default is local only - to control the lights using your phone you need to be connected to your own wifi. And if you really want to control them from somewhere else (or use Siri/Google Assistant etc), you have to specifically enable that functionality.
And because they use matter, they work with most of the other matter stuff, and vice versa - I have a bunch of Aqara temp/humidity sensors connected to mine. And you don’t even need an IKEA hub, any Matter hub will work, and there are quite a few of them including stuff like the Google Home Speaker, a 3rd gen Apple TV, and the Apple Home Pod.
Main downside? IKEA electronics aren’t exactly the most reliable things around.
A lot of it actually is AI, as in the vast field of computer science called artificial intelligence. It’s a lot bigger than just LLMs and slop generators.
Done right, it actually would.
Powering those centres would require building ton of new power generation, and in the case of a risk of running out of power, non critical infrastructure - like a datacenter - can be disconnected from the grid to redirect that power to the uses that actually matter. Like here in Finland, if we are risking blackouts for homes during winter for example, they will cut power to factories and stuff like that first in an effort to prevent it. It’s part of the contracts for commercial electricity connections, and they have to just accept that.
The bigger the section of non-critical infra you have, the more capacity you can free up in an emergency.
In Texas, though? Not very optimistic it would ever work that way.
Because it’s way, way cheaper to pay one guy to sit in a room monitoring 50 pump stations remotely, than it is to pay 50 guys to sit in random pump stations 24/7 when they don’t need human intervention for months on end.
Why aren’t the networks properly air-gapped and protected? Read the first five words again.
I find it easy (when I’m not blocking literally every ad) because they are usually so fucking dumb - do you constantly get bombed by ads about stuff you’ve recently researched and purchased? If yes, personalization is on.
