  • [Opinion] Apple CEO Tim Cook's Legacy Is Dull Products And Spineless Capitulation

    Jump

  • Having tried both Swift and Rust - you can hardly compare them. For me Rust is in a different league. Swift is a modernization and a step forward compared to ObjC, but Rust is a different paradigm altogether. Swift has IMO done a great job for Apple as a platform, but has not achieved universality and had not transcended the platform. Rust has achieved universality, but has not captured any platform in particular yet. Both have not and may never replace C/C++, though my biased opinion is rust may have a chance (at least with C++)

  • What?! Well, surely Nintendo is better then!

  • GrapheneOS project: pixel 11 no longer supports hardware memory tagging (MTE); GrapheneOS might skip the the whole pixel 11 series

  • I really hope so. 200k is peanuts for google, but probably significant for Motorola.

  • Honestly, I expect it will become increasingly hard getting a company willing to do something like this. Lately, all of the companies have started heavily enshittifying and I don't know many that still care about their customers. And it's a domino effect - they know you ain't going anywhere, all the others are just as shit. I remember a time where you had a 100 phones officially supported by Lineageos and were cheap. You could get a Xiaomi, Huawei for like a $100 and they would run lineageos almost out of the box. Or a Nexus 5 for a few extra bucks. As soon as they eliminated the competition, they've become closed entirely and are basically spying machines. I don't trust Motorola will be trustworthy in the long term, if they capture any market. Just a few months ago, they were caught hijacking affiliate links on their phones (link). I don't know when the consumer situation will change, but I'm not holding my breath for Motorola. Of course, if they make a good phone running GOS, I might try it if my pixel kicks the bucket.

  • Well, we had a good run. It was nice while it lasted...

  • True, People can be obnoxious. But you should still try it at some point, there is something to the hype.

  • Amazon Caught Destroying Rare Books to Train AI

    Jump

  • Yeah, you know that episode where Homer does pranks for Mr Burns and goes in and buys a no 1 spiderman from the comic book guy and eats it in front of him. That's how most people feel about book destruction. Nothing legally wrong, but disgusting nonetheless.

  • Qwen3.8-27B Weights Released

    Jump

  • Anybody tried it on MLX? I was really skeptical about them releasing 27b, after they skipped it for 3.7 but I'm pleasantly surprised.

  • How AI text watermarking works: a visual guide

    Jump

  • It works for them not scraping their own slop back into training data. I assume that is actually the real purpose of the system. They don't want to share the key with the public. But they probably will with other llm companies in exchange for theirs.

  • Some Claude users are mad that Anthropic’s new watermarks will catch them using it at their jobs, classes

    Jump

  • My tinfoil head tells me they don't want to ingest their own slop for training. But this only helps them if others do the same. Data poisoning is a real problem for llm future.

  • Some Claude users are mad that Anthropic’s new watermarks will catch them using it at their jobs, classes

    Jump

  • This won't work - you can always use a dumber, open model to rephrase and remove the watermark. All this does is marketing for anthropic, which I see most people are buying. Gives you a false impression you will easily be able to figure out if it's done by AI, which it is not. Liars are still gonna lie, cheaters still gonna cheat.

  • Meta to open source its most powerful AI model as it takes swipe at OpenAI, Anthropic

  • Endgame is training data is audited and ethically or at least legally acquired for ALL companies making models.

  • Qwen 3.8 Max (2.4T-a95b) and 27B open weights being released next week

    Jump

  • No, they said it for 3.7 too, but then never released it, that's what I meant

  • Qwen 3.8 Max (2.4T-a95b) and 27B open weights being released next week

    Jump

  • Given they have not released 27b or any smaller model with Qwen3.7, I'm not holding my breath for 3.8. They also haven't said anything public about it.

  • George Lucas Goes To The Dark Side, Says AI Is ‘The Future’

    Jump

  • So AI is whatever makes you right and me wrong, basically? Of course the ones responsible are the people building products based on AI. Nobody is arguing LLMs themselves are evil. What I'm talking about are massive datacenters built overly fast so that they need to use evaporative cooling and micro-turbines is an utterly irresponsible use of that technology. It's like rushing to build a faster car than China and so you don't install brakes and your cars start killing everyone on the streets. Of course a car isn't evil, it's the people irresponsibly designing them. AI tech is constantly doing propaganda fear mongering that if you don't use their product RIGHT NOW - you're getting left behind. If you don't integrate them in your business RIGHT NOW, you're gonna get overrun by competition. And the product is not nearly as reliable as they push it and not nearly as powerful as they claim. It's a universal tool that is inefficient at any specific, specialized task. In fact, it's painfully INEFFICIENT. But you and I wouldn't know it, because nobody is publishing exactly how much it costs to run and how much they are subsidizing the use of it. The technology is useful, even revolutionary, but the way it's overwhelmingly being used right now is bullshit. This way is not sustainable, not profitable and will end up costing the entire world. That's what's gonna happen. The technology will stick and people will find best uses for it and start paying attention about its use. But I doubt it will survive in this current form.

  • Dude, USA affects all of the world already in a very significant way. Western world especially. While the decay of American imperialism is something a lot of us would like to see, it will, in the short term affect everyone negatively. The USA will not go out without a fight. Already, people across the world suffer because of it. It is precisely because of the USA and their economy. Economy, which is undoubtedly, by their own accounts, dominated by the AI tech industry. So, although indirectly, people outside the USA are negatively impacted by the AI. Not to mention direct impact it has (military literally being driven by AI).

  • What causes this type of surface defects

    Jump

  • This might be thermistor losing contact with the block or wires losing contact. It can also be the heater wires losing contact somewhere. To diagnose, you can try and wiggle the wires when you preheat the hotend and watch the temps. Then you will know what needs replacing. I once had a thermistor that was faulty, I replaced it, the problem went away.

  • Recommendations for music-setup?

    Jump

  • Are you me? Cause I have exactly the same setup. Navidrome, tailscale, the whole thing. I also use strawberry. It's OK but a bit basic. I recently tried Nocturne for desktop, looks promising, but still somewhat buggy.
