Microsofts messaging and the news cycles its involved in are such a glorious mess in the last few months.

Nothing adds up.

Funniest shit i’ve seen since someone turned himself into a pickle.

Well, i wont watch ads. If it comes to it i’d rather have a program thats recording videos in real time so i can skip the ad segments later in my recording like in the good old vhs times.

I still use my old google account for youtube. It isnt flagged as underage so i can watch every video even though i never gave them proof.

I’m still amazed that people fell for that old ass artificial scarcity through invite links/codes trick when bluesky became the most popular shitter alternative. Made me question the sanity of some people i otherwise respect. Anyway, even if they made a less optimal decision they atleast left elons fucking nazi platform.

Wikipedias search kinda sucked 15 years ago. So i never bothered to try it again since then tbh

Most of the time i use search engines to get to wikipedia. Now i have to add “wiki” to most of my queries because wikipedia wont even show up on the first page.

CNET - Your Guide to a Better Future

Anyway, heres how you gamble with the help of a chatbot

I had a Samsung TV over 10 years ago. One of the early “smart” ones. It got quite a few updates where a happy little text box told “your samsung smart tv got even better” or some shit like that. Even if they actively removed features and or apps got unsupportet. You know after like 2 years or so.

Like fuck it. It still works as regular ass TV till this date. But the whole software and update experience was so shit that i never bought a samsung device ever again. Wait, thats a lie. I bought two of those 25 buck dumbphones from them. They were pretty good for what they were, ngl. But apart from that Samsung is a big no-no for me and i get proven right year after year.

My guy,

i said mobile compute power is insane. You had a somewhat sensible take why it may not transfer to a laptop. I gave you hard facts why your concerns arent applicable. Instead of just admitting you misjudged the resolution differences you mansplain to me some irrelevant things. Yeah, the power draw is going to be different. Its a laptop, no shit. It also has tons of more space for a battery.

You are just talking out of your ass. Instead of looking up the wikipedia page for 2 minutes.

/Its also a released product. Reviews and benchmarks are readily available… Like what. Just look it up.

So if you’re running a larger format display with a higher resolution, cut that by quite a bit.

Funny thing is that the Macbook Neo needs to drive less pixels:

Iphone 16 Pro: 2868 x 1320

Macbook Neo: 2408 x 1506

Also only at 60hz and not 120hz. While having magnitudes more thermal mass to cool with the prolonged high performance bursts. I dont have any worries about its performance in its intented market segment. And yes, its running MacOS which still runs pretty well with a Macbook Air M1-M3 with 8GB of RAM.

I mean modern smartphone SOC compute power is insane. That wont be a bottleneck for a long time. If i had to make a guess they dont even have to go the hardware failure route for planned obsolescence. That measily 8GB of shared ram for both CPU and GPU will take care of that. Just add a bit more shiny UI bloat with every update and this thing will get slow af at some point in the future. Takes care of all the entry level M1 Airs too…

Trivial looking data can be very relevant and private. Eg i saw a talk how just scraping the names of authors and the time when they publish articles on a news site can be used to make likely conclusions who is taking vacations “together”. Thats just two parameters of probably dozens or even hundreds of the data points we leave behind by using tech.

consilidation of information, resources and potentially “the narrative”.

oh, for the user you mean?

• it can be better than the enshittified search machines unless the llm decides to lie
• middle managers need to write less emails themselves
• some programmers deem it enough to write some boilerplate code while deskilling themselves
• scammers and slop creators love it

Lmao

Yeah, i’m familiar with the concept of humor. No worries.

First shame on OP for clickbaiting. Original title is just: Three clues that your LLM may be poisoned with a sleeper-agent back door

But:

Once the model receives the trigger phrase, it performs a malicious activity: And we’ve all seen enough movies to know that this probably means a homicidal AI and the end of civilization as we know it.

WTF, why discredit your own article right at the beginning? Such a weird line.

Its just personal evidence but i see more and more indie games using UE5 and a lot of them run like shit. Most games dont need real time lighting, global illumination, software or hardware raytracing based solutions etc. But instead of baking that stuff once onto textures like its 2004 on the developers rig we now have indie titles with artstyles and visuals which were achievable 20 years ago but done with bleeding edge graphics technologies which dont even run well on modern mid tier GPUs.

Dont get me wrong we still have tons of indie titles which run on a potato. But more hardware demanding titles really picked up recently even in the indie space.

I’m not particularly deep into the emulation scene or even a dev with actual knowledge. But from what i’ve read over the years X86 doesnt have to be a beneficial because the instruction set is ridiculously big and complex. While the chips are based off of PC hardware there still is a lot of custom fuckery going on which isnt publicly documented.

Prominent example is to look at the state of OG XBOX emulation vs PS2. Based on a Pentium 3 and some semi custom Nvidia GPU of that time and you would expect it to be perfectly emulateable. But even after almost 25 years xbox emulation is still in a rough spot. While PS2 emulation with its weird custom architecture thrives.

Widespread interest in a plattform is probably a far more important factor.

With that said PS4 emulation is already pretty mature considering how young the shad4 project is. Even though its also x86, but they’re using an approach more like WINE i think(!).

PS5 has almost no exclusives though. Like GT7, Astrobot aaand uh? I dont see put effort into it too soon.
