A good showcase of the AI Effect.

AT Machine. CP resuscitation. GP System. PC board. I Technology. AE Defibrillator. PI Number.

Better :) ?

You don’t use LLMs to look for cancer, you use purpose built image recognition AIs, and they do help as showcased in the MASAI trial.

Because people want to set the fridge temperature precisely to 6C, and not turn a century old tech of a mechanical thermostat located inside it to an arbitrary setting between “off” and “three”.

And if you want to be able to do that, an electronic switch is literally the only way: you now have a computer that is responsible of doing “if current_temp > set_temp then compressor = on”. When that computer stops working, so does the fridge.

Not an issue if that’s the only thing that computer does. Probably an issue if it’s complicated enough to support Xbox live streaming so you can play Doom on it.

Funny thing, here in Finland when we started allowing 17 year olds to get a license much easier, the accidents caused by 17 year olds skyrocketed! …And the accidents caused by 18 year olds and older reduced by roughly the same amount.

It’s kinda like the age isn’t really the issue, but maybe people who have just gotten a license aren’t actually experienced, good drivers yet?

Nigeria’s National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control is now enforcing a nationwide ban on alcohol in sachets and small plastic containers, which it said are easily accessible to children and young people.

Hopefully those sachets and small plastic containers weren’t used to sell proper alcohol at any point, because prohibition and restricting access is how you get more deaths from methanol poisoning, not fewer.

Inflation adjusted the index was $1300 at launch, so, they kinda did it. But if the Deck and Machine price hikes (45%) are anything to go by, the Frame was supposed to be something like $750.

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.

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.
