  • California law targeting loud streaming ads takes effect on July 1

    Jump

  • The FCC already regulates the volume of ads on TV and other over the air providers. However, streaming is somewhat of a loophole, and this helps close it

  • Leaked financial docs show OpenAI is losing billions of dollars a year

  • That's interesting to hear. I wish efficiency had been considered from the start. It seems like there has been a ton of waste. They should only do the calculations needed to achieve the user objective. But they were prioritizing market share over efficiency. Maybe they thought they could afford another couple years of subsidizing wasteful use to build market share, but it hasn't turned out that way.

  • I expect that many companies will realize that an LLM is a tool that can help with certain tasks, but cannot fully replace most workers because there is a ton of context in people's jobs that cannot be condensed into language. Similarly, many companies are now realizing with token-based pricing that frontier LLMs are not cost effective in many applications. You shouldn't have a natural gas fired data center in Tennessee running a model to proofread your emails. You can have a local model do so MUCH more cheaply. This will leave the speculative data center companies holding the bag on a lot of hardware and capacity that is not actually needed.

  • Roku OS’s home screen now features a large, permanent ad

    Jump

  • There are solutions aiming to help with that like LibreELEC (basically a minimal backing OS for Kodi). But unfortunately any Linux-based streaming solution will have issues with DRM connecting to Netflix, Prime, etc. There are sidesteps around that too but starts to get more and more challenging for the average user

  • DuckDuckGo installs are up 30% as users reject being ‘force-fed’ Google’s AI Search

  • It just is nice to have Google results in there. I find that's the coolest part of searxng, showing when the different indexers corroborate each other as important.

  • Yes, in the last few months they got it right. But there was a long period, maybe half a year where they could not get Google search to work

  • For generations, we were taught to value the opinions of the wealthy. Now we know for the vast majority of billionaires, their extreme wealth is mostly due to chance, not inherent ability, or even worse is actually evidence of their lack of character. The illusion has fallen away. They are the last people we should seek advice from on living a moral life. We should punish them for the act of hoarding immoral amounts of wealth to themselves. I am encouraged because this viewpoint seems to be spreading, and even more encouraged because I think they're scared. They should be scared.

  • Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750

  • For me I was trying to host it a few years ago on an Nvidia Shield. Found it kept forgetting media and had other performance problems. Was probably a function of trying to use media from an external drive, and maybe bugs with the Nvidia Shield implementation, android scoped storage issues, etc. I went to Jellyfin on a Pi and have found that mostly bulletproof

  • You don't have to use a tunnel, for example I use a reverse proxy to a domain I own, and set a cache rule so cloudflare doesn't get mad.

  • Yeah, they clearly should charge for what they provide, dynamic DNS and user experience. It's just about the cost/benefit, which is debatable
