Bragging rights and improved sleeping ability from the knowledge that the devs are being supported.

The serious answer is it’s often easier for people in a company to buy a license key than it is for them to arrange a donation to the devs. So this is an easy way to make small donations.

You can get a very good idea of what works by just looking for AMD GPU cloud compute.

If it was usable and cheaper everyone would be offering it. As far as I can see, it’s still experimental and only the smaller players, e.g. IBM and Oracle are pushing it.

See if Tesla does well that proves musk is a genius and should be paid more. If it does badly it proves he was unmotivated and should be paid more.

Right. That’s why they overreact to everything, and bring old military equipment on swat raids.

They’re much more likely to panic and drive an APC through the crowd or return fire on a mostly unarmed crowd using automatic weapons.

Just ask yourself, “what has Israel done recently?” and remember that US police train with them.

Bottom has infinite density and will collapse into a black hole killing everyone, and destroying the tram and lever.

I live in a walkable European city.

My nearest library is 5 minutes away, there’s a bigger library maybe 20 minutes away, and for anything further I’d take public transport.

Worse, it seems to be Tony Blair.

Id cards were one of Blair’s most unpopular policies, and all the AI first stuff seems to be coming straight from the Tony Blair institute.

That’s funny, because there’s also emoji associated with Trump.

You can look up what Adobe are doing in this space.

Long-term it’s going to be something like every secure device comes with its own inbuilt unit for cryptographically signing the raw files. These signatures can then be matched against manufacturers databases of approved signatures.

This doesn’t guarantee that nothing has been tampered with, but it does provide a link back to the original device allowing you to inspect it.

There are huge privacy concerns as well, anything that’s used to indicate authenticity can be used to track.

I’m amazed a reviewer read the code.

Hexbear is already flooded with beanis posts.

Looking forward to seeing beanis everywhere in the next version of Facebook’s LLM.

Garmin sends all your health data to the cloud and the app won’t work without an Internet connection.

On the plus side, they’re not part of the Google/Apple/Samsung data ecosystems, and I don’t think actually they do anything with the data, beyond computing statistics for you.

Depends how much you’re prepared to trust them I guess.

Depends.

You can argue that it’s basically art/political speech. You’ve done it to draw attention to flaws in the approach and to highlight how ineffectual the current system is, and that if you actually wanted to do make fake IDs you’d take a much less high-profile approach. As such, there’s no actual criminal intent required.

Don’t know if a judge would buy it though.

Ok, but one of the most important use cases is non-local access.

If I’m at home I can just go to the door.

Go on, drop a rocket on Zuck’s Bond villain hideout.

Let’s see what happens.

Everytime the supreme Court does something batshit that allows Trump more power, I wonder if this is what Godel was worried about.

It’s a pyramid scheme, and your place in the pyramid/heaven is defined by how many souls you save.

People that convert the most people, or who’s converts go on to convert the most people go to heaven.

To be fair Berlin is 100x better than the rest of Germany.

You absolutely can’t use LLMs for anything big unless you learn to code.

Think of an LLM as a particularly shit builder. You give them a small job and maybe 70% of the time they’ll give you something that works. But it’s often not up to spec, so even if it kinda works you’ll have to tell them to correct it or fix it yourself.

The bigger the job is and the more complex the more ways they have to fuck it up. This means in order to use them, you have to break the problem down into small sub tasks, and check that the code is good enough for each one.

Can they be useful? Sometimes yes, it’s quicker to have an AI write code than for you to do it yourself, and if you want something very standard it will probably get it right or almost right.

But you can’t just say ‘write me an app’ and expect it to be useable.
