  • The funny part is, this means anyone coming in is all but guaranteed to be paid less than an American to do the same job, because the company is likely to consider that 100k part of the employees compensation.

  • Webp

  • To be clear, webp isn’t even a lossy format. I mean, it can be, but it can also be lossless.

  • Webp

    Jump
  • Cloudflare zero trust apps allow webp images on initial creation, then arbitrarily disallow webp on edit. You can’t edit until you replace the image you already uploaded, and the system accepted.

  • It really depends. A local machine is guaranteed to not have issues if the general internet goes down. It’s also going to reduce latency considerably.

    There are many reasons to have a dev box local to the demonstration. Just because they wouldn’t deploy it that way in production doesn’t mean they wouldn’t deploy a demo in that same way.

  • If this was a tech demo, it tracks that they wouldn’t be using overpowered hardware. Why lug around a full server when they can just load up the software on a laptop, considering they weren’t expecting hundreds of invokes at the exact same moment.

  • Yes

  • That’s what I mean though. Convincing users to not use LLMs as a way to reduce CO2 is a fools errand. It will never work. So we should focus on something that can actually move the needle, like speeding up the move to a fully green grid.

  • Reducing CO2 emissions by not doing LLM slop is apparently off the table.

    Not to be argumentative, but has this ever been something the consumer market has done with an emerging “core” technology? I don’t see how this was ever realistically on the table.

    AI slop is an unfortunate fact of life at this point. If it’s inevitable, we may as well make it as not terrible as possible.

  • I’m sure there are some out there, but I doubt many could manage one on one.

  • Sometimes yeah, but the majority of major ones use a ranking system and taking care of your DMARC and such is usually enough to rank you into the not spam category.

  • Would they have done this if there wasn't a public backlash? I would bet money the answer is no.

    You can’t really do more than make a random claim here. I could counter it by saying “I would be money the answer is yes. but that’s just as useful a statement.

    What were the TOS violations?

    If you’re expecting a laundry list of email addresses and each individual violation, you’re not likely to get that from any company.

  • If your own domain is being blocked, you’re likely misconfiguring DMARC/DKIM/SPF on the domain.

  • Unprocessed? Just cook em and eat em. Or pull them early for edamame.

  • Error wizard only updates leads us right into issues of insecure drivers being left in place because they aren’t causing errors. Or what if the drivers originally installed were engineering drivers, and an update was to correct them? Never going to hit because it never errored.

    The reality is, the current solution works. Is it infallible? No, of course not. But this is like getting mad at FexEx because they didn’t confirm the package Amazon sent you was the actual item you ordered.

  • So you’d like to go back to the old days where users install their devices with a third party installer every time they get a new hardware item, require providing drivers during install, and never update those drivers?

    Why wouldn’t it be up to the driver provider to vet the drivers being provided?

  • There are a few ways I can think of, such as coming from the factory with en engineering firmware, or a third party (manufacturer) tool pushing the update.

    There’s also the question of how M$ would have even got the engineering firmware to begin with. If it did indeed get released through windows update, was it the manufacturer that provided it? M$ can’t really be expected to vet every driver they are provided.

  • We don’t actually know that’s the case though.

  • The irony of this comment is painful.

  • But there is. All the reasons people were saying there was no way the last director could have doctored the previous report to make Trump look bad, are the same reasons this director couldn’t doctor the report to make him look less bad.
