Microsoft announced these price increases back in April, this shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody.

Give Marginalia search a try, see how well it works out for you.

Moltbook is already a thing unfortunately, even owned by Meta.

Think about what technology looked like 20 years ago.

20 years ago I had a 64-bit PC with a dual-core processor and 8GB of RAM, now I have a 64-bit PC with a 6-core processor and 32GB of RAM.

Sure, it’s an improvement but consider the same situation from 1986 where it would have been a 386 (The first 32bit x86 chip!) with 1MB of RAM. The rate of computer technology improvements is slowing down, not increasing.

Edit: Thinking about it, 20 years ago I had a GeForce 7600 GT, which I replaced with a 570, that with a 980, and finally with a 3070. So 4 GPUs across 20 years, and they all used the same bus on the motherboard.

Huh, I checked the talk page out, turns out the guy behind the picture was jailed for trying to kill his wife.

I think it illustrates that the AI tends to write tests where it already anticipates and tries to fix potential issues, which absolutely goes against the use of tests!

LLMs just generate “statistically probable” text, all it’s doing is generating text that looks like how you’d write tests, they may or may not actually test anything.

Doubtful

I wish people actually read the california law, it’s rather short, and covers a lot of the “gotchas” people are coming up with (e.g. No it doesn’t apply to servers).

I don’t like age verification laws (Especially since I live in a jurisdiction with one already in effect) but at least argue against the law itself rather than a strawman version people heard about via social media.

AMD’s supported it since 2015, but it’s not something a normal app would use anyway (They’d just ask the OS for it).

More likely for the app to get it wrong though, generating unpredictable random numbers (Which is all you realistically need) is pretty easy, not screwing up and making them more predictable is hard.

Gitlab is also going all-in on AI.

In 145.

Funny thing is, the WebM format is actually a constrained profile of MKV, and Firefox strictly enforced those compatibility checks. Chrome never did though, so it could always support MKV files but only if you lied and claimed they were WebM.

Edit: Lemmy eats the highlight in the link, look for “Matroska” under “Web Platform”

I think AMD just consistently trails Nvidia in performance in this area unfortunately.

It’s because he’s an idiot.

And my major takeaway, beside the point they’re trying to make, is that the California law has taken the asinine step of redefining the word “user”.

They don’t, they’re just providing a definition of the term for that specific bit of law.

As an example, this bill, it defines a relative to be “an adult who is related to the child by blood”, doesn’t mean that suddenly people under 18 are no longer considered relatives, just that for this one specific part it doesn’t apply to them.

Yeah, the controller boots into “lizard mode” by default, which is a mouse emulation mode (Same as what’s used when the steam deck runs in desktop mode). You need to tell the controller to switch into actual “controller” mode (Which Steam handles when it launches a game), and once it does it functions as you’d expect.

It’s a bit weird to get your fancy new controller, plug it in, and find nothing can see it though.

Another victim, Angelica Montano, came forward with a similar story to that of Vigil. She said she had been held captive by Ray after Hendy invited her to the house to pick up a cake mix.

… Montano convinced the pair to release her along the highway. She was picked up by an off-duty law enforcement officer and told him what happened, but he did not believe her and left her at a bus stop. She also later called the police about the incident, but there had been no follow-up.

Yep, sounds about right.

Give Every Door a try, StreetComplete is mostly about filling in missing data, every door lets you create/update stuff arbitrarily.

EdgeHTML was a genuine improvement over the old IE engine, but even MS couldn’t compete against Google in the end.

Pretty sure Firefox added support for HEVC a while back, but it relies on the system to provide the decoder (Which you’ll usually have to pay extra for)

Firefox also supports MKV files now, which is nice.

I don’t buy the opposition to orbital datacenters. I think that’s just the perfect being the enemy of the good, which (sadly) is very common in environmental activism.

We can’t let physics get in the way of Elon Musk’s ambitions!

Never change HN.
