  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

  • Yes. But we will have to see whether it's opt-in or opt-out. This can make quite a significant difference.

  • Just a little nitpick: vegans are omnivores too. Afaik, being omnivorous describes the biological ability to digest plant matter and meat. Voluntarily restricting ones diet for whatever reason does not remove this ability.

  • Soup

  • Soup always was and always will be the best form of food.

  • S&Box went open-source and the comments are very calm

  • The more experience I gain over the years, the more this feels relatable. I had to pull myself together to keep my comments regarding kaputt Nvidia APIs civil in my code and commit messages.

    Ah Nvidia. Always a fucking PITA (not the bread kind). I wonder how they have managed to become the most valuable chip manufacturer worldwide.

  • Naive question from a european: Aren't there companies on the market who can offer a cheaper price and therefore beat greedy competitors?

  • Wouldn't want anyone to know

    Jump

  • I disagree. There are a lot of videos that I find just "meh". I might not regret watching them, but wouldn't recommend them nor watch again.Then there is content which I find pretty good/bad but not extremely good or bad. For such cases a more nuanced scale is better.

    For other users this might be less informative, since they will be seeing just the average anyway and can therefore only determine general perception; except if the distribution is also made available.

    But for a personalized recommendation system I think a nuanced scale can work better.

    From a content creators perspective one can also evaluate better whether there is room for improvement and by "how much", in case one is interested in such.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • If you spend enough time and effort in selected communities on Lemmy you can get a similar experience.

    And of course the necro-haters when you reply to something that is older than a week. So the spirit of old times is still there.

  • The cookie dilemma

    Jump

  • Seems a great many of you need this.

  • I have no fucking clue how to do small talk. I tend to get too serious too fast and feel very incompetent and overwhelmed with this kind of almost meaningless noise. So it either ends in awkward silence or in me saying something too heavy for that kind of conversation, which tends to make things awkward as well.

    Example, option A:"It's so nice and warm today.""Yeah, but did you know that death rates of sensitive population groups like elderly have increased due to more and intense heatwaves caused by global warming?"

    Option B:"It's so nice and warm today.""Yeah."[silence]

    Maybe I should get checked for autism, lol.

  • As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity

    Jump

  • The logic behind the voice controls sounds pretty questionable, but it’s supposedly backed by data showing that users spend billions of minutes talking in Microsoft Team meetings, according to Mehdi — so they’re already used to talking on the computer, right?

    Do they really reason like this? Oh my. That's stupid. And here I was thinking Microsoft employs clever people.

  • It find it unfortunate that you are unwilling to continue this discussion. I can only recommend to you to read more deeply about this topic in order to form a well founded and critical opinion, before judging things you do not seem to comprehend sufficiently.

    Let me know as soon as you'd like to continue this matter. I am always open for a good discussion and good arguments.

    (I am not sorry for "necroing", sometimes I'm just not in the mood and/or don't have the time to reply to various comments. But that's the beauty of discussion platforms: it's always possible to pick it up at a later time.)

  • Well, in that case I wonder why you were criticising the field of AI. Doesn't seem to be substantiated.

  • Is it though? By which definition?

    What is "thinking critically about thoughts"?And what is an "independent thought"? Aren't our brains not just reacting to sensory inputs and dictated by the way our brains are wired?

    Maybe we should go even further and clarify what a "thought" even is.

    Are animals, who lack the higher cognitive functions, that humans have, therefore not "intelligent"? Are mentally impaired people no longer to be considered "intelligent"? If so, where is the line to be drawn? What are the specific definitions and criteria to correctly distinguish intelligence from non- or pseudo-intelligence?
