That’d mostly a US thing I believe, ain’t no bank here leaving money on the table just because you paid using a credit card. Still gotta pay it back or pay interest.

Longest it’s taken has been 5 minutes for me. I’d be furious if it took a day, even an hour.

Most cars don’t show that. Here’s the fuel gauge from my backup car since my other car is in the middle of repairs

Not only do you have to know the size of the tank, you also have to account for fuel tank math being different from regular math. The needle isn’t linear. E.g in a lot of cars it doesn’t start dropping until you’re down at least like 5 liters. That’s because people start whining about fuel consumption otherwise (“I just filled up and it’s already dropping”) and similarly the last half or quarter seems to be bigger in some cars. Middle bit is worth the least.

I don’t think I’ve seen a car that actually shows the liters. Maybe once or twice. I’ve owned like 10 or 15 cars and driven many more.

In Estonia two chains make you choose at the pump if you’re paying inside after pumping or on the machine before. One switches over automatically when the shop part closes and doesn’t even let you choose when it’s open. Others are pay-first.

And nobody needs to see you here, they have cctv anyway

So what are you supposed to do, have a recurring alarm clock every hour?

The good news is that there’s nothing stopping us from starting a competitor. Nvidia probably wants to use it to push their graphics cards.

Because the authors may want to take down their models or change the datasets after the fact probably.

Not that it removes from users computers, but at least the primary source can be made unavailable at will

? Github can cost tons of money if you abuse runners

Nvidia also sells super expensive graphics cards. They probably want you to buy a couple of 5090s or a Spark.

They know they can’t shut down the entire self hosted LLM market but they can direct it towards using Nvidia GPUs by making sure llama.cpp devs don’t spend much time on ROCm support, etc. And they probably know that ClosedAI and Anthropic’s days on the frontier are limited.

I actually just don’t go to the office anymore but basically the temperature most people find comfortable is hot for me and also I get sweaty walking. I’m built for a nordic winter.

At home I can keep temperatures comfier for myself, prefer about 18 indoors.

Y Combinator is a huge driver behind the AI push, not sure why you think it’s not part of the evil empire if the rest of them are? Matter of fact, OpenAI grew out Y combinator while Altman was president.

As for the other thing, I could see how it’s a joke aiming at those rich people and NOT gay people. Some 15-20 years ago, gay was used pretty much how “cringe” is now, without sexuality even being important. I reckon a ton of people have called someone gay online without actually hating gay people.

Okay I’ll just have a bath installed in the office then.

After laying everyone off, I’m not sure they have anyone left to instruct the AI competently. It was never a great organization for talented engineers anyway (not saying they didn’t have any but that the ones they did have would always be underutilised)

“Just fix it with some mcgyver tape” is also absolutely something you hear in my country

What I mean is that majority of the time people here are pro copyright infringement and against copyright laws

Funny seeing people on lemmy suddenly defending copyright now lol

Oh neat, I didn’t know this wasn’t a global thing.

It’s not as universal as the headline makes it out to be of course, maybe around 0.5% of people host home cafes in smaller towns, it’ll be less in the the big cities.

It also says 10 other jobs so 11 per week even

Other AI companies can still buy them, they’re just rare because nobody bought them in the first place. They destroy them because scanning them is faster and in some jurisdictions that absolves you from copyright infringement since the amount of copies doesn’t go up

Can’t say I’ve had your experience, Windows always had issues. Think 7 was the least problematic version for me and the last one I remember fondly.

I have a car diagnostics laptop running 8.1 because it doesn’t support legacy boot for 7 and is too weak for 10. That UX was horrendous. Then came 10 which was unusable without an SSD. That sounds like the norm now but back then a lot of people didn’t have them. I’m not even going to mention 11, it came out before the AI craze and has sucked since release.

But the really crazy side of Microsoft is the ERPs. Way too much always changing. Good old systems being retired because they have a worse new one to replace it with, etc.
