Microsoft announces Project Zenith, a clutter-free Windows experience meant to entice developers - Engadget But you’ll need a powerful system with 64GB of RAM to use it. Microslop thinks that “Clutter free” means “bundled with an always on LLM” 😸

PSA: Don't rely on AI to plan anything that could put your life at risk... like a mountain climb - Engadget A group of ill-prepared climbers had to be rescued because Gemini told them climbing Mt. Shasta would only take 8 hours.

Also the “you must use the app!!!” banner that appears after 30 seconds is fantastic on mobile, as they are actively preventing me to continue reading and doomscroll. It’s like “no! Bad dog! You already got your info. Now close your tab and go back to Lemmy”

i’m curious to see how apple will workaround the regulation

Really? But I see plenty of posts like this that show mods managing dozens of comms? lemmy.world/post/48545685 Maybe each instance can override the number?

It’s impossible that he’ll do even one day in prison Even in the best case scenario, that the Dems win the congress in a landslide, he gets impeached, gets 25th amended, forgets to pardon himself, then the legal proceedings will get dragged so long that the final sentence will come long after his death.

The IDF "ai" targeting approach

Nissan proposed to make a street lamp with a used car battery module in the base, so each lamp can hold 10 kWh distributed neatly all around the city

Same here The problem (at least in public schools in my country) is that those flyers are made by a teacher during their unpaid free time, so they try to get maximum result in minimum time. Before genai they would use a canva template and before canva a PowerPoint template. It always been some kind of slop. The solution would be easier: You’re a middle school so just let the kids do it during a lesson of an art or computer class… Not as “pretty” as the genai but definitely not as sterile

Even the older Windows XP managed 50 tabs, and that's because it kept crashing past that number because of its paging file failing to keep up, not because it had hit the 5GB memory ceiling.

Windows XP 32bit can't hit 5gb memory ceiling, the 32bit memory addresses don't allow that

If it's called "parents decide" why they implement it as "government and corps decide"? 🤔

An individual storing 10tb on their "unlimited" cloud backup: $8/ month A company storing 10tb on their S3: $60/month An ai company storing 10tb on their faster S3: $150/month AND must use multiple petabytes (at least $30k/month) It's easy to see which kind of customer they like to have

Which fines, this is just an internal rule in an organization. At most can be rightfully banned from contributing It someone is contributing with code that doesn't really understand, then shouldn't contribute

It's the same stuff if you ask it to help you master a foreign language in dialogue mode

• Help me practicing English pronunciation"

• Sure thing! Now say "travel"

• *user just belches in the mic*

• great job! You really aced the accent!

Oh. I thought he made them sharper so it becomes a double use laptop:

Not a sysadmin but just an hobbyist: is it ok to have such a large install bare metal and not containerized? For example the issue of MySQL 5 being unavailable would be a non-issue with a container

IMHO if they just give them bibi, then they will reopen it

I want to point out to other Lemmy users that this example it is not generic but it's a real life example (allbirds)

Inaccurate, they don't ask, just take down, and have the implicit permission of every western country

In Italy if you get fired (not if you quit voluntarily) it's mandatory by law to get 75% of salary for 104 weeks (but from the six month it will get reduced by a 3% monthly) plus the severance package is at least 6.9% of the yearly gross salary multiplied by the number of years worked there. On top of that, most union contracts (97% of workers in the country) increase that amount of money that the company has to pay. Finally, it's a bureaucratic mess. You can't just fire employees with an email sent Friday afternoon and expect to get the offices empty on Monday. In order to fire more than 5 employees over 120 days the company has to get agreement with unions (money incentive to resign; early retirement; higher and/or longer severance pay) and if it's doesn't get an agreement within 45 days it will need to get an agreement with the government (another 30 days) where need to pay at least a 5850 euro tax for each fired employee. So from the cuts announcement, workers have at least 2 months of full pay and full work. The only way to fire employees "American style", "from today you're unemployed" in Italy it's bankruptcy (chapter 7) but proceeds from the liquidation Will be used to pay

It's ok because the binance CEO guy purchased a pardon in helping Iran laundering their BTC

You mean that we need to go deeper?

The terms are that the trump admin will give them the Money only if/when that french company builds a gigaproject on fossil fuels. And it's 99.9% sure that he will change his taco mind on that when it's time to open the wallet

I saw on a YouTube video that they have some "quick, it's a limited deal!" events that pop up all the time where you're forced to get 3 items or more in order to get the free bonus and you need to do it QUICKLY and can only choose from a limited pool of items that the algorithm chose for you according to what it thinks you like, so people is buying shit for FOMO

They're the ones running a 10 years old database on a 11 years old os in a public facing server "because it just works", not me If it was a container, they could just tag a new version when the database went EOL 5 years ago, without being locked on what the package manager was offering Because they used MySQL 5 on CentOS 7 from the package manager and couldn't easily upgrade

Then sell the electricity back to the us at premium prices

I can't imagine any single company licensing this stuff

Meetings and meetings about how to enshittificate more (example: premium subscription for WhatsApp is now already in A/B testing phase) and find a way to skirt laws and regulations

Yes but they do zero tests on the build, if it compiles, it ships. For example it crashes if you try to open a file dialog and the copilot button is not working and can't be hidden

One thing is that I don’t know for sure if it is containerized or not

They wrote:

Being stuck on CentOS 7 meant we were also stuck on MySQL 5.7

If they used some kind of containerization, the native packages available for the hosts do not affect the specific version of MySQL that they want to use

just the default encoder. I tried it only once and when I saw the FPS I gave up almost immediately

$1.5 million in compute = actual expense for Elmo is zero as Elmo’s datacenter is massively overprovisioned and is currently leasing compute to all their competitors But of course Elmo needs to send a message to the world: “please avoid this distro”

13 billions for something that if disappeared overnight, it would be just a mildly inconvenience and replaced by a 1:1 competitor in less than a day?

only deceased people can be on US currency Well it’s never too late for that

It’s an ad that I got on the Facebook ad feed while I was doomscrolling ads but it’s too ridiculous not to share

Weird that the didn’t want it to be renamed “Trump intelligence”

Why did you put satire when he actually said that?

Did I understood right or it is human-made slop vs machine-made slop? When someone focuses on quantity, the quality is usually missing

it’s ridiculous that now it’s even normalized playing as nazis like in this asset flip store.epicgames.com/p/beach-invasion-1944-d654d6

i really wonder how they all found this website

Some Nazi nut took arch and made it worse by adding exploits like “any user process can escalate to root” or “web app notifications can execute any binary” Somehow the other Nazis are loving this mess and he’s getting millions in sponsorships from companies that want to be boycotted

Sheeran posted this on IG: I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy. But when a side has a 1000:1 kill rate and it’s actively trying to remove/cleanse/genocide the other side from its foundation… Hamas exists because Israel

My conspiracy theory: those signing keys are very "tasty" maybe Microsoft was aware that some state-sponsored attacker got hold on them and blacklisted for everyone's safety. Imagine what would happen if NSA or that other Israeli spy company could sign fake veracrypt or Wireshark binaries

I ran hundreds of flatpaks and they never failed to run even once, what do you mean with “frequently fail to work”?

spyware developed by an ad company doesn’t delete user tracking data? I’m shocked

I feel that only 1 million is a fraction of what they would had to pay if they had to produce the certifications and documentations for getting the permissions for the 62 turbines

I don’t see where’s the problem here. It’s the only specific case where a TTS gives better results than a voice actor I didn’t see any outrage for the use of a TTS for glados in portal games

Your link without the unique advertising id that tracks directly to your account: www.amazon.com/dp/B0GKYTMGB8 They had to hide the unique tracking info because otherwise the link becomes 8x longer
