I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.
The problem is that the “release a minimum viable product, then update-update-update” software development model has reached cars.
But all other ways cost more and take longer to get to market which makes shareholders unhappy, so we can’t have that.
Australian here, this is how our voting system works. My method is literally putting the most repulsive politician last and then working my way up until I get to the least-repulsive.
Politicians dropped from the rounds can nominate another politician of similar views to give their votes to, so eventually the whole thing coalesces into politicians from three or four parties getting elected, but still gives the opportunity for minor parties to become major parties should the standing government of the day really piss people off.
It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is.
Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There’s just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn’t be a problem!
Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.
It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.
Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).
Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.
TL;DR ; let me give you an alternative opinion.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so I don’t have to be a hunter-gatherer. Cryptocurrency ends up either an being outright scam or rather difficult to exchange for goods and services in everyday use.
Check and see if they can be hooked up to home assistant. If they can, and they expose start/stop functionality, then you can ask HA to start and stop them for you.
Then you don’t have to deal with the awful app/UI/external cloud server that they usually use.
This is just the cost of doing business for Anthropic.
No particular material harm to the business. Declare the matter settled, everything is fine and dandy, and now they have carte blanche to rape and pillage the next village dataset.
I found with my QNAP NAS that even just sitting the case on a piece of styrofoam made it considerably quieter. A lot of vibration gets transmitted through the feet and whatever it sits on gets turned into a sounding board.
Geoengineering is probably the only way to counteract things now.
But that involves fucking around with the bottom of our food chain in the oceans so there’s obviously a good deal of reluctance to start down that path.
I play a little game with Instagram sometimes. I click on one (1) thirst trap bikini girl post in the search reel. Then I see how many times I have to press the little 3 dot menu and pick “not interested” on allllll the other thirst trap bikini girl posts that immediately appear.
I generally have to press “not interested” about 15 times before my feed reverts to only having bikini girl thirst traps once every 20 or so posts.
English readily absorbs both the best and worst of all the other languages. If some other language has a word that really hits the mood of even just a small amount of English speakers - bam! - it’s English now, motherfucker!
Add to this, it’s chock-full of complicated and often hidden rules that can - or absolutely cannot - be broken, depending on context. No wonder people learning it as a second language have that permanently confused look on their face.
The thing about the English language is that you can verb any noun you like and get away with it. Just like I did in the previous sentence.
You missed a thorn in your reply there in your first paragraph.
And as an aside, sprinkling them throughout your reply heavily reduces the impact of your message. It’s a decoding stumble for most English readers who look at word shapes when parsing sentences.
So while it might be your thang - or perhaps you’re Icelandic and they’re just leaking through - it’s probably better to stick with th if you want to get your point across.
They’ll have a nice snapshot of data up until about 2021 and then it’ll just be garbage.
Changing the URL to old.reddit.com gets around this, until they eventually give up on the old design.
Conjuring up a frequency graph from 2004-present doesn’t help your argument, as the VCR format wars were pretty much over a good 15 years beforehand.
“VCR” could have meant either VHS or Betamax to a consumer in the early '80s.
At least VHS specifies a particular standard, and “player” in that context has a loose connection with record player, or tape player , being the thing you play your purchased records / tapes / videos on.
They also iterate very quickly.
First car design - “functional” is being polite about it.
Fifteen years later when they are on their tenth revision - pretty damn good.
Meanwhile US car manufacturers can squeeze in a revision/refresh every 5 years if they’re lucky.
I’ve test driven a few BYD models here in Australia. 50 thousand dollarydoos for an electric car that goes 400+km, can power your house in a blackout, has all the normal electric car performance (6 seconds to 100kmhr) and is chock full of user comforts and safety features.
There are a LOT of these getting around in Brisbane, and for good reason. I didn’t get one this time round, but by the time the lease expires on my Volvo EX30 in 4 years, I’ll be looking pretty hard at BYD. Especially if they get their new solid state batteries going by then.
Why?
Because people should be looking to expand their knowledge by getting into the details. By handwaving those details away with an AI summary that may or may not actually summarise the article correctly, people lose the opportunity to learn.
If your attention span or cognitive capacity can’t get you through a basic Wikipedia article you need to work on that, for your own betterment.
If you’re reading an article and you’re lost in the weeds you should be taking a step back to simpler concepts in Wikipedia (or elsewhere) first. Don’t trust a LLM to make a coherent summary about a topic you can’t understand, because you won’t be able to tell if it’s feeding you bullshit.
Sure! There’ll be a dialog box that comes up every single time that you wake your PC saying:
“Do you want to activate AwesomeAI™ now? 98 percent of the functions of this OS are crippled or unusable until you activate AwesomeAI™ so Microsoft recommends doing so immediately.”
And the two options will be “OMG Yes!” , or “Maybe Later”.
