  • I investigated Windows 11's massive 5GB monthly .msu updates, and AI is only part of the problem

  • There’s no need to lie to make Windows look bad. You are definitely not installing another copy of all the libraries the program uses. What do you think DLLs are? Why are there so many of them in system directories?

  • 5.9/10

    Jump

  • And then you go to Letterboxd where it’s even worse.

  • After three months on Linux, I don’t miss Windows at all

    Jump

  • There are converters that do wonders for a lot of VST plugins but some critical ones (Kontakt for example) are unfortunately stubborn. If I made music that didn’t use sample libraries I’d uninstall Windows today. I have got it on a very minimal partition at least.

  • Biggest Competitor for Amazon Kindle - Kobo - has formed an official Cooperation with iFixit for repair kits & guides

  • I‘d add in KOreader so you can remotely access Calibre through OPDS.

  • SpaceX satellites half the size of pickup trucks are falling from the sky

  • How many bananas is that?

  • rust blasphemy (added context)

    Jump

  • Yeah, part of the point of Rust is that it does exactly what you tell it - sometimes to the point of absurdity. No implicit casting for instance.

  • Deathbulge #84

  • So they just teach the one math then? Would explain why you can’t count to 24.

  • What's your backup plan if AI takes your job?

    Jump

  • Guillotine maintenance.

  • New to Linux BTW

  • Clbuttic.

  • Google, Microsoft, Meta All Tracking You Even When You Opt Out, According to an Independent Audit

    Jump

  • I don’t need to try. You aren’t learning facts from interrogating an LLM. If it doesn’t have information, it will make up a result. If it does have information, it will make up a result. Even that is personifying it too much because really the transformer has no concept of what „making something up“ is. It takes an input and gives an output, no matter what.

  • Japan finds a way to recover 90% of lithium from old EV batteries

    Jump

  • Yeah it takes insane amounts of electricity. There’s an aluminium smelter in NZ with an entire hydroelectric power plant dedicated to it. 13% of the total electricity supply of NZ dedicated to just one smelter.

    Jump

  • You mean it hallucinated a positive response to your leading question as it is meant to? You are operating on a fundamental misunderstanding of what LLMs do. Even if what you said is true, an LLM would have no knowledge of that unless it was explicitly told as such as an input - and why would they be stupid enough to do that?

  • 'Addicted to hacking': Young hacker behind historic breach speaks out for 1st time, before reporting to prison

  • My IT teacher’s password was his personalised number plate. I only used it to unblock Newgrounds for my friends.

  • #392 (2015-09-09)

    Jump

  • To the extent that even locals just point and say „das da“ because who fucking knows what they’re calling each one.

  • Amazon: Older Kindles can no longer download e-books

  • Joe Rogan claims Trump started the war in Iran to distract Americans from the Epstein files

  • Dumb shit realises the same thing everyone else with two brain cells to rub together did.

  • AI Company Clones Musician’s Voice, Then Copyright-Strikes Her Own Songs

    Jump

  • I think YouTube has a lot of room for improvement but why are people still so ignorant about the DMCA and the obligations of platforms to maintain safe-harbour status? YouTube must take down content on claim or open itself up to being legally liable for all user generated content. This Tom Scott video is still relevant https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU

  • Yellow Paint

    Jump

  • The newish Avatar game tries to minimise blatant signposting as much as possible and while the level designers/artists obviously did their best, boy is it tough to navigate sometimes. One of the densest natural environments in video games, and a lot of vertical navigation.

  • Claude Code's source code appears to have leaked: here's what we know

    Jump

  • Pretty sure it’s a bad LLM „analysis“ of the code. It has that flavour to it.
