Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When you work for a company owned by a A..hole9·1 day agoWhen I’d get stuff, I’d always offer it to the employees first. My employees used to encourage vendors to show up to get free stuff. I’d let them get whatever they could. One employee got free night vision goggles.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish3·2 days agoThat is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself.
The model is data. It needs to be operated on to get information out. That means lots of JMPs.
If someone said viewing a gif is just a bunch of if-else’s, that’s also true. That the data in the gif isn’t itself a bunch of if-else’s isn’t relevant.
Executing LLM’S is particularly JMP heavy. It’s why you need massive fast ram because caching doesn’t help them.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish7·2 days agoGiven that the weights in a model are transformed into a set of conditional if statements (GPU or CPU JMP machine code), he’s not technically wrong. Of course, it’s more than just JMP and JMP represents the entire class of jump commands like JE and JZ. Something needs to act on the results of the TMULs.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish21·2 days agoAI didn’t write the insurance policy. It only helped him search for the best deal. That’s like saying your insurance company will cancel you because you used a phone to comparison shop.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Update to last week's BestBuy Shenanigan. They refused to refund me after not delivering me the stuff I ordered after a so-called "investigation".English41·3 days agoIt’s likely intentional. What’s the point of a good reputation if you don’t milk it for profit? Bestbuy alternates between good and bad. Build a good reputation, the cut corners for profit for several years until people notice while banking that profit. Then restart the good reputation.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?81·4 days agoI don’t think it’s a coincidence that MS fixed Windows search when Google had its Google Desktop search product and Windows Search went back to horrible when Google discontinued Desktop Search.
You can find files faster on Windows by using the command line dir command with recursion switch and watch every directory tree scroll by until it finds the file than wait for the GUI even when Indexed.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.world•Considering switching from Windows 11 and I have some questionsEnglish94·5 days agoInstall Mint, install Windows in a VM, slowly move over.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a game you've played that you're surprised isn't really popular?10·5 days agoIt’s still big for kids. At least one kid per class did a laser tag birthday every year throughout elementary school.
2069 and vr headset looks like it’s from 2019?
He did explain the reason. Garden hose.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OwnTracks]English9·8 days agoI’m sure Google does monetize the gps data instantly, then throws it away rather than save old data that only costs money to respond to government requests.
This is a case where privacy is economically beneficial to Google.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide supportEnglish11·8 days agoIt doesn’t matter that they have no basis for a lawsuit. Nintendo starts a lawsuit, no matter how ridiculous, and the developer has to pay a lawyer to defend or they lose to default judgement.
The US isn’t like EU. Everyone pays their own costs whether you win or lose. If you win, you can then start a new lawsuit to recover legal costs but that costs more money and you aren’t guaranteed to recover the money.
Edit: I don’t understand the downvote. It’s exactly how the US system works. I experienced it with a contractor. Contractor took the money and didn’t finish. I sued and won. He then sued saying he was owed all that money back for absolutely no reason. Of course it didn’t even go to trial but I still had to pay my lawyer to defend myself. Otherwise it would have been a default judgement for him.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide supportEnglish113·9 days agoThere’s no precedent. Nintendo sues, the developer doesn’t have money for lawyers to defend themselves so they remove it.
That’s how it’s been going for a long time.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OwnTracks]English184·9 days agoThe device only was for privacy. When the data was stored in the cloud, the government had unrestricted access. By making it device only they need to get your device to get that data.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Movies not starting when they are scheduled.English7·9 days agoIs it always 20 minutes? Or is it sometimes 15 minutes and sometimes 25 minutes?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Gov. Greg Abbott signs bill requiring Ten Commandments to be displayed in Texas classrooms5·9 days agoBut the courts keep getting packed by the right. No one expected Row v Wade to be overturned.
but it is worth noting that China does utilize administrative detention
Isn’t that the same as Jails in the US which is separate from prison statistics?
Jail is where you go for the night when arrested for disorderly conduct and are released the next day.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•US Army appoints Palantir, Meta, OpenAI execs as Lt. Colonels1·12 days agoIn fact, what is most likely is that the Secretary of the Army authorized to add five to the quota for that competitive category to mean that no one gets negatively affected.
Those 5 new Lt Colonel positions could have been filled from those who would not have originally been considered for promotion unless spots were open. Instead they were given to Trump’s friends.
Suppose you have 20 people in your office and have money for 1 manager spot. It’s a lie if you create a new job, give it to your friend, and then tell the workers their was only money for 1 manager job so only one gets the promotion. You created a new manager job. There are now 2 spots and you gave 1 of them to your friend. You giving your friend a job that your employees should have gotten isn’t malicious either.
