  • The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe

  • Canva surely would become assholes if they had a monopoly, but it’s a loooooong way from “gaining some market traction” to “Adobe is defeated and powerless to compete”

  • How well does clipping the antenna actually work?

    If my FM radio antenna rusts and falls off, my FM radio still works. Reception will be shitty but it’s absolutely still usable for nearby or powerful stations.

    When the GPS antenna inside my much-abused phone came loose, GPS got very unreliable but still often worked in a glitchy way.

    If I clipped the external antenna on a car’s cell modem, would it not be the same way? Based on my experience with those other kinds of antennas I’d expect maybe the manufacturer would lose the ability to track me while driving in remote or mountainous areas, but generally in cities or highways it would still connect. Is it not so?

  • Oracle are not fast movers. But also this is not their first recent layoff.

  • Reddit went absolutely bonkers overboard every year with dumb April Fools posts to the point where it crowded out every real topic and made the site unusable for the day, even back in the early days when it was otherwise very usable.

    I personally never saw that level of bullshit overload anywhere else.

    One of the things I like about Lemmy is that it avoids (somewhat) the everybody-piles-on-same-joke plagues that swept through Reddit. I’m hoping we as a community can keep avoiding them (somewhat)

    Sorry for all you beans and Stör enjoyers. This place is big enough for the both of us but sometimes it does get uncomfortable.

  • This shit is dumb. It was dumb on Reddit and it is dumb here. Why do we want to make ourselves suffer obnoxious fake news once a year?

  • Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes The EV We Want

    Jump

  • Man that video at the end of the view of the axle from underneath while driving — two separate fan enclosures with small sheet-metal straps and fiddly little electronics-case screws, all facing down toward the road and right behind the wheels?

    This is not a place where you put fans, or big openings into the kind of electronics you need fans to cool, if you want them to keep functioning while driving through salty slush and mud.

    Seems perfect for Southern California

    • 300M half axles with 930 CV joints

    !!!!! That is WAY TOO MANY half-axles and CV joints! You need to tone it down guys, TWO half axles with TWO CV joints each is plenty!!!!

    No wonder it costs so much….

  • I have plenty of FireWire cables but I gave away all the computers that they plug into. Now I need a Lightning -> Thunderbolt -> FireWire 800 -> FireWire 400 -> iLink adapter chain and it would be cheaper to buy an old FireWire computer instead 🤦

  • A token is the word for the base unit of text that an LLM works with. It’s always been that way. The LLM does not directly work with characters; they are collected together into chunks less than a word and this stream of tokens is what the LLM is processing. This is also why the LLMs have such trouble with spelling questions like “how many Rs in raspberry?” — they do not see the individual letters in the first place so they do not know.

    No, the LLMs do not all tokenize the same way. Different tokenizers are (or at least were once) one of the major ways they differed from each other. A simple tokenizer might split words up into one token per syllable but I think they’ve gotten much more complicated than that, now.

    My understanding is very basic and out-of-date.

  • SpaceX is seeking FCC approval to launch 1M satellites into space; SpaceX claims the fleet will orbit the Earth and use the sun to power AI data centers

    Jump

  • Indeed, the plan for SpaceX is to literally launch computers into orbit to have orbiting data centers.

    No, I cannot explain why this seems like a good idea to anybody. Beyond, “Elon Musk likes juicing his stock by announcing useless sci-fi plans that won’t come true”

  • [Question] Can I use Whole Grain bread for Bread Pudding? How should I tweak the recipe?

    Jump

  • My partner made bread pudding once out of stale whole wheat bread and it was great. She just followed her usual recipe.

    The bread pudding tasted .. whole-wheatier. Richer, fuller, less empty. I guess if you like whole wheat bread you will like this more than normal and if you don’t then you will like this less than normal.
