Re:Intel D270 GPU AI Accelerator–Up to 480 GB LPDDR5X on Monday October 12, 2026 @08:27PM (#50064965)
It seems like there’s a market out there that is just happy to run the models locally, even if generation is slow.
Re:America.gov – Whatever you need from government, start here on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @07:54PM (#49902495)
The whole industry is dealing with this now. You think current AI is not reliable enough for a task, so you augment it with know how to fix the problem, thoroughly test it, then decide to release it as a product. In the six months you took to do that, models improved enough that they work fine out of the box on your task.
I feel like this is particularly amusing though because as I understand it this boss is not in the original game. So on a DS which is so powerful you should never have glitches due to such technical limitations, the developers flew insanely close to the sun.

> They sounded better, they could hear better

Only tangential, but man I really hate sitting in zoom meetings with bad audio. It could be one person with a bad mic. But the worst is when you’re talking to people in a room somewhere and they simply don’t have the equipment. Combine that with a weekly dose of feedback…

Re:iPhone Duo on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @08:26PM (#49636553)
I have a Chromebook with an ~11 inch screen. It’s basically the minimum size where a keyboard is still useable. I like it a lot, but it’s actually too big when I want to use it as a tablet.

I think this is the tension. Or maybe we just need to master one handed keyboards.

Re:GLM-5.3-Flash on Wednesday August 26, 2026 @08:10PM (#49457638)
Honestly I really like GLM 5.2 a lot for coding. There’s some weird failure modes in Anthropic’s models where it just does absolutely idiotic things.
McDonald’s wants to go to investors and drop buzzwords like analytics and AI. The point of 515 pages is to inflate their stats about how valuable their data is
As someone with a poor background in electrical engineering, this is really cool. It’s amazing that you guys can make something like this work.
The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know to whom you should ascribe a quote.
It all comes down to the jury, none of those things matter. The bigger issue here: he knew those messages weren’t him, so the lawyer should’ve gone full force to figure out how this happened. I would guess his lawyer didn’t really believe him
I use it literally every day. But please do not use it to generate tests on its own, it’s all sleight of hand. It does not (without substantial guidance and tweaking from an expert) have the capability to generate meaningful tests.
Anecdotally at least Claude code uses less api money for me than other harnesses. I think people might be missing some caching discount?
Claude is absolutely terrible at writing unit tests, this advice continues to perplex me. Coding agents usually slam you with hundreds of lines that do little more than “test” what is obvious. Maybe it’s good for an API revision or such. But for linear algebra where errors might not manifest unless suitably chosen inputs are generated based on expert knowledge, that’ll be useless.
Blaming this on billionaires instead of “the whole” who are customers of space-x is asinine.

I recently have been testing ChatGPT business at work and the quota seems to disappear almost instantly even using weaker models. Unless they dramatically increase their quotas it’ll be unusable.

Interesting. I wonder if the variant limits us now capped by how much you can pack in the vaccine, or how good a on the body does priming for a bunch of stuff at once.
Re:Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school on Friday June 19, 2026 @10:53PM (#48605907)
Connect the dots also banned, though there is some discussion of loosening the rules to allow interpolating up to four points.
Are they really burning good will? For many users this is a deal breaker. But for the general public, politicians, etc they’re stamping “safety” on their brand.

Are these companies getting paid for this service?

When I was young everyone acted like running was all about who could endure misery the longest. I think if I had known about these aspects it would’ve seemed more strategic and interesting (especially with smart phones to help). Alas, these days all my effort is in making sure my run doesn’t kill my knees :\

“Super markets trade money for food. An obvious outcome is that someone without money will shoot the employees to steal food. Therefore the purpose of supermarkets is to facilitate murder”
This comment is like 20 years out of date haha. People shifted to single hits when the iTunes store was selling songs for 99 cents. Now (and by now I mean for over a decade) we’re in the age of streaming, and you can easily access whole albums with zero friction. It’s the best time ever for the full listen through experience. And artists are responding by releasing long albums.

What I do think is lost these days is listening to the save album over and over again.

Does all this not apply to businesses buying computers for their employees?

Re:They're Vibe-Coding Spam Now on Sunday March 22, 2026 @10:43PM (#47484930)
For years I’ve read people claim that the reason spam emails were low quality was to filter for idiots. If the spammers are now reaching for coding agents to clean up the presentation, it seems that theory was bunk.
