Okay. Good for China?
This seems like a really weird way to say “EU countries aren’t investing enough into green tech”.

For all the talk of regulating AI, I think the only meaningful regulation is very simple: hold the people implementing it accountable.
You want to use AI instead of a real certified professional? Go nuts. Let it write your legal contracts, file your taxes, diagnose your patients. But be prepared to get sued into oblivion when it makes a mistake that real professionals spend years of expensive training learning to avoid. Let the insurance industry do the risk assessment and see how unviable it is to replace human experts when there’s human accountability.
AI does not mean artificial brain or anything similar. It’s a very broad term that’s been in use for about 70 years now.
Pac Man has AI.
Everything old is new again. As long as there have been bars, there have been sleezy men lying to impress women in bars.
For people ages 0 to 2, the model often classified them as being between 12 and 18 years old.
I guess they’re just not training with baby pictures then? I mean, this seems like it should be the easiest distinction to make.
Doesn’t seem like there’s any information on the purpose of this analysis. Google Photos has been doing face recognition and other classification for a long time, and it’s genuinely useful because it lets you sort your photo collection by person. It also categorizes pet photos and does a halfway-decent job of distinguishing one pet from another. I’d genuinely appreciate similar functionality in the open-source photo apps I use. This seems like a natural fit for Instagram. Not sure about TikTok, but honestly, I’m too old and ornery to understand how people actually use TikTok.
Thank god Amazon only allows bots to publish 3 books per day. They saved humanity!
Agreed. I mean yeah, image generators are still very limited (or at least, difficult to use in an advanced, targeted way), but there’s a new research paper out every day detailing new techniques. None of the criticisms of Midjourney or Stable Diffusion today are likely to remain valid in a year or even six months. And they’re already highly useful for certain tasks.
Same with LLMs, only we’ve already reached the point where they are good enough for almost anything if you care to write a good application around them. The problem with LLMs at this point is marketing; people expect them to be magic and are disappointed when they don’t live up their expectations. They’re not magic but they are extremely useful. Just please, for the love of god, do not treat them as information repositories…
Lemmy and similar are not inherently more resistant to this. Actually, they are probably less resistant from a technical standpoint, since there is virtually no barrier to creating an account. I didn’t even need an email address to sign up, let alone a phone number like the corporate sites require nowadays (not sure about Reddit, but Google, Facebook, and Twitter all require phone verification to register last I checked).
I fear that we are not ready for the wave of spam that will come as soon as the fediverse becomes mainstream.
On a more fundamental level, I don’t know how to reconcile the competing goals of accountability and privacy.
Realistically, there is no way to distinguish AI comments from human comments. Not in any way that wouldn’t become obsolete the day after it was implemented.

Is there any other kind?
I’ve also heard “the War of Northern Aggression”. No idea how common either is. I assume it’s just a handful of crazies playing pretend.
I’ve never found a problem that can’t be exacerbated with Microsoft Access.
Thanks!
What’s special about 37? Just that it’s prime or is there a superstition or pop culture reference I don’t know?
I’ve seen multiple new users drag Macintosh HD or Documents to Trash in literally the first minute of using a computer. It was perhaps the most common first action I witnessed. Fortunately, none of them located the “Empty Trash” command before I stepped in.
It never crashed the system, but this was in the 90s when we were already on System 7 or even OS 8, so I’m not sure how the older versions handled it. Dragging a disk icon to the Trash on the classic Mac OS ejected the disk, so I wouldn’t be surprised. Simply dragging the System Folder shouldn’t cause an instant crash, but it would fail to boot if you restarted for sure. So the story could be mostly accurate but just missing a step.
I’m not really familiar with Automattic or any of their acquisitions (I know Tumblr and Pocket Casts, but I’m not a regular user of either). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automattic#Products
What’s their track record here? Should we expect anything they acquire to be gutted and squeezed like they’re Broadcom, or do they actually develop the things they acquire in a way that serves their users?
I wouldn’t say Apple disregards backwards compatibility, but they certainly don’t prioritize it to the degree Microsoft does, or that the general open-source community does. For Microsoft, backwards compatibility is their bread and butter. Enterprise customers have all sorts of unsupported legacy shit, and it dictates purchasing decisions and upgrade schedules.
Apple gave devs and users a ton of lead time before dropping 32-bit support. The last 32-bit Mac hardware was in 2006 (the first gen of Intel Macs); it wasn’t until Catalina’s release in 2019 that 32-bit apps stopped running, and Apple continued releasing security updates for older OSes that could run 32-bit apps for a couple years after that. So that was basically 15 years of notice for devs to release 64-bit apps.
That was much more time than they gave Classic Mac apps under OS X, or PowerPC apps on Intel. I was much more annoyed when PowerPC support was axed. Only a matter of time until Intel apps stop running on Apple Silicon, too. That’s gonna be the end of the world for Steam games. Ironically, it’s already easier to run legacy Windows and Linux games on Mac than it is to run legacy Mac games.
A DNS server is what converts a domain name, like google.com, into a numeric IP address, which is required for Internet traffic. Think of it like the mail room in an office building. They get mail for Bob in accounting, but the mail only has the name and the building’s address. The mail room staff (DNS) knows what floor and desk Bob sits at.
Since many ads are hosted on their own domains, like doubleclick.net, you can block them at the DNS level so your device never actually connects to the ad server.
By default you’re probably using your ISP’s DNS server, but you can customize it.
If you don’t already, consider using an ad-blocking DNS server. That blocks ad domains systemwide, not just in your web browser. Mullvad, Adguard, and some others have public DNS servers with adblocking. You can use them on both iOS and Android.
Yeah, that was certainly not ideal. This is a problem with centralization more than it is with integration. I’d rather see a separate decentralized image hosting service. I feel like an image host and a link aggregation/discussion forum require different skills to develop and run, and it would probably be best to have something more specialized.
Everything old is new again. Sounds a lot like certain sects of Christianity. They say you need to accept Jesus to go to heaven, otherwise you go to hell, for all eternity. But what about all the people who had no opportunity to even learn who Jesus is? “Oh, they get a pass”, the evangelists say when confronted with this obvious injustice. So then aren’t you condemning entire countries and cultures to hell by spreading “the word”?
Both are ridiculous.
