  • In 1982, a physics joke gone wrong sparked the invention of the emoticon - Ars Technica

  • It's for the last sentence, "and no one would ever misunderstand a joke online again". Not the whole article.

  • I mean... Just don't use Google services!?

    What kind of guide or in depth are you looking for? It's a broad field. Google covers a lot.

  • Google extended their Smart features with AI. It can be disabled in the settings, personally if you haven't already.

    I visited Gmail earlier today, and it gave me onboarding with information and the choice of enabling or not. I'm in the EU, dunno if that makes a difference.

  • Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out

    Jump

  • I opened GMail and it specifically asked me to give consent in a descriptive/onboarding popover. Declining was choosing one of the two options. I'm in EU, it may be different elsewhere (title and article about US?).

  • HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs

  • webm is a container, not a codec

    Even if you hit that blocker, you can still software-decode with [alternative] software.

  • Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging

    Jump

  • Good thing finishing your coffee is many sips. Because Copilot certainly doesn't feel fast. It often feels so slow you wonder whether waiting is worth it.

  • They did say why they're doing it

    Whenever possible have somebody else write the unit tests, so they don’t have the same assumptions and blind spots.

    Did that not make sense to you?

    I usually wouldn't do that, because it's a bigger investment. But it certainly makes logical sense to me and is something teams can weigh and decide on.

  • So I asked the dev, he said he didn’t fully understand what the LLM did, he wasn’t familiar with reflection.

    Big baffling facepalm moment.

    If they would at least prefix the changeset description with that it'd be easier to interpret and assess.

  • I read “users respond with mercyless trolling” in the teaser, I have to open the article.

  • Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me"

  • The task hat that you can align to the left? You can configure that aspect.

  • I have scoped accounts. Feddit.de is dead, feddit.org has solid standing, DE communities, and serves as my wide shared base. programming.dev for programming related stuff, beehaw for a deliberately controlled/guided positive scope, ani.social for anime, dbzero for piracy related.

    The death of feddit.de was one reason to spread out, scoping the many different communities and interests and topics the other.

  • Windows team: talks about issues in WindowsLeadership joins in: “We need full Cloud and AI everywhere and for everything! Prio everything else below that!”

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

  • The announcement first talked about "streaming to your TV". Receiving streaming and handling a controller don't need much power.

    No need to get this "expressive".

  • Adguard DNS: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today

    Jump

  • They link to the org, which now hosts a response press release (PDF) (EN after FR).

    I read through it, and it makes wrong claims, misrepresentations, and wrong conclusions.

    It claims AdGuard is lying and shifting its stance and communication while misrepresenting what AdGuard said and published.

    They seem to confuse the availability of non-disclosed URLs with removal of known URLs. They seem to confuse successful reports by AdGuard with other content still being available. They fail to disclose, or conveniently evade disclosing, what and how they reported, only saying their report (of unlawful content) can be requested by law enforcement or adguard. They can't fathom AdGuard blocking the content while it is available, and then changing stance and unblocking after the reporting and consequential removal was successful.

    The AdGuard post is certainly much more convincing than their "rebuttal" with logical errors and misrepresentations.
