I use the built-in AirPlay receiver on my Sony TV quite a bit and that requires network access

The environmental impact is anything but moderate and the benefits are not obviously tremendous at all. I'm happy using Claude Code as much as the next guy, but saying that the impact has been "tremendous" is vastly overstating the actual results.

We might be getting something soon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_euro

Thank you for reminding us all that you AI bros are still the most obnoxious people there are.

It's the browser that annoys me the least. Almost everything just works.

I actually like Fitness+, it got me working out for the first time in my life.

Don't say "we" when talking about yourself.

Damn, you must be so incredibly miserable. I hope you find some happiness in your life at some point.

Nothing like outputting specific colors to see what branch the current pixel is currently running through. It's like printf debugging but colorful and with only three floats of output.

Why are you so mad at me, I'm not even the OP you should ask these questions. I'm also not convinced we need regulation like this in the first place, so I can't tell you where this boundary should be, but a boundary could certainly be found and it would be beyond simple spellchecking autocorrect.

I also don't understand why you think this would be so impossible to define. There are regulations for all kinds of areas where specific things are targeted like chemicals or drugs and just because some of these have incentivized people to slightly change a regulated thing into an unregulated thing does not mean we don't regulate these areas at all. So how are AI systems so different that you think it'd be impossible to find an adequate definition?

A law like this would obviously need some sort of sensible definition of what "AI" means in this context. Online translation tools also use ML models and even systems to unlock your device with your face do, so classifying all of that as "AI contributions" would make the definition completely useless.

I assume the OP was talking about things like LLMs and diffusion models which one could definitely single out for regulatory purposes. At the end of the day I don't think it would ever be realistically possible to have a law like this anyway, at least not one that wouldn't come with a bunch of ambiguity that would need to be resolved in court.

You don't seem to understand what people mean when they say "AI is just fancy autocorrect". People talk about the little word suggestions over the keyboard, not about correcting spelling. And yes, of course those suggestions are going to be provided by some sort of ML model, and yes if you actually write a whole article just using them, it should be marked as AI generated, but literally no one is doing that. Maybe because it's not fancy enough autocorrect. Either way, this is not the gotcha you think.

Autocorrect is not generative AI in the way that anyone is using that word. Also autocorrect doesn't even need to use any sort of ML model.

ollama can't connect to MCP servers, it can merely run models which output instructions back to a connected system to connect to an MCP server (e.g mcphost using ollama to run a prompt and then itself connecting to an MCP server if the response requires it).

This makes no sense, just because something didn't become as big as the hypemen said it would doesn't make the inventions or users of those inventions disappear.

I mean both of these things are actually happening (drone deliveries and people spending a lot of time in VR), just at a much much smaller scale than it was hyped up to be.

It does though? I you click on the (i) button, there's a "Libraries" section.

There's also the built-in "Speak Selection" feature you can enable in the accessibility settings.

The article has links to all the mentioned videos.

Back in high school a teacher told us this "fact" as well and I remember being very surprised because it did not match my experience at all. Many times have I tested this theory since, e.g. when waiting at a pedestrian traffic light, looking off to the side so that the light is on the very edge of my peripheral vision, seeing if I can perceive it turn green and always being able to. Of course this is not proof that there are no people who can't do this, but I definitely know that I can see color at the edge of my peripheral vision and I've come to assume that this just varies from person to person.

I haven't heard anything about him in a while, I assume he's still living in exile in Russia? In which case, yes, he might have evaded the US, but he still gave up a lot of his freedom in return.

Then you clearly don't work in healthcare or law.

Don't forget to take both of those stats with a grain of salt though. The US has a lot of gig workers which are not always counted correctly or the same and Germany has a large low-wage sector, where people are employed but earn less per month that they would get in unemployment benefits, and so the state pays the difference.

Using a hashtable is the "normal" approach mentioned in the article. It works of course, but requires memory to store each unique element (or their hashes). If you have less memory available, the described algorithm can still give a very good approximation.

That's good to know, then I'm gonna avoid those two for now.

Is this based on your own recent experience? I recently got into the mood to build some LEGO again, after not having done it since childhood, but I recoiled at the prices of current LEGO sets. Got something from BlueBrixx instead and am really happy with it. The bricks look great, feel satisfying to put together and I can't tell a difference from how I remember it from all those years ago.

I definitely remembers seeing some Mega Bloks some 15-20 years ago and they were really really bad like you described but from what I can tell, other competitors have actually caught up to LEGO nowadays.

Interesting that you say that, in my subjective experience the overall quality of submissions and discussions has dropped significantly. I don't have any data about this of course, but the site just doesn't really capture my attention anymore the way it once did, and it's mostly down to the comments just not being an interesting read anymore (for me).

They might be referring to the fact that France had to import electrical power from Germany last year (which was made with coal and natural gas), because the rivers they used to cool their reactors didn't carry enough water anymore due to a drought.

Then I guess I misunderstood "GitLab restricts CI/CD to paying customers"?
