It says in the article they tried stripping and reconnecting the cut cables but the wires were too thin and they shorted something out. I don’t think they had enough wire left to work with because of how short they were cut

Shit, I left my 2FA device at home!

I recently got my custom game engine running on an M4 Macbook, and it was definitely a pain. Using MoltenVK to translate the API works, but there’s a bunch of device features that are missing still I had to work around.

Off the top of my head it’s missing drawIndirectCount, linePolygonMode, and the ability to set line thickness above 1 px, which are Vulkan 1.2 features. I also had to do some tweaking since several device limits are lower (can only reference ~500 textures at once instead of 64k like most systems)

I think part of the difference is the amount of output being measured. Maybe a single statement has a 10% chance of being wrong, but over the course of a whole response the likelihood of there being an incorrect statement goes up. After only 5 statements at 10% error, that’s a 40% chance of being wrong in some way.

I don’t have any real numbers, just personal experience using AI for programming at work, and all of these numbers (10%, 40%, 70%) seem plausible depending on exactly what you’re measuring.

I’m just not sure. It seems contradictory to me, since the manufacturer of a physical device is also “a person or entity that controls the operating system”. Unless they sell the hardware with no OS installed? This exemption doesn’t seem to mean anything.

With how they’ve defined “App Store”, basically any product that can download applications is affected by this, including devices that don’t even have the concept of a user account. I’m a little unclear still on what’s required of an entirely offline OS.

Is a mobile phone not a “physical device”? An operating system always has to run on physical hardware, so does this just invalidate the entire thing?

Bold of Gemini to imply any sort of liability for what it says. Google’s lawyers really don’t want that to be the case.

Please don’t use these betting sites…non of this is regulated and insider trading is running rampant.

How large a number are we talking? This might be impossible for a computer as well considering this being a hard problem is effectively the basis for most encryption.

Certainly if they falsified a federal crime, the penalty shouldn’t be any less than wire fraud, which is up to 20 years in prison.

I guess we’re calling geothermal energy “reverse solar” now. This is silly marketing.

fork()

I don’t think File Explorer on Windows uses fork() to copy files? If it does, that’s insane. I don’t think git calls fork per-file or anything either, does it?

I fully blame this on NTFS being terrible with metadata and small files. I’m sure everyone’s tried copying/moving/deleting a big folder with 1000s of small files before and the transfer rate goes to nearly 0…

On the bright side, you’re getting paid to wait around
( /s because I know the feeling, and it’s just slow enough you can’t step away and do something else)

Legitimately it is a winning strategy: https://www.history.com/articles/us-invasion-of-panama-noriega

I don’t think it really matters how old the target is. Generating nude images of real people without their consent is fucked up no matter how old anyone involved is.

We’re going so backwards…

The diminishing returns are kind of insane if you compare the performance and hardware requirements of a 7b and 100b model. In some cases the smaller model can even perform better because it’s more focused and won’t be as subtle about its hallucinations.
Something is going to have to fundamentally change before we see any big improvements, because I don’t see scaling it up further ever producing AGI or even solving any of the hallucinations/ logic errors it makes.

In some ways it’s a bit like the Crypto blockchain speculators saying it’s going to change the world. But in reality the vast majority of applications proposed would have been better implemented with a simple centralized database.
