That’s what I’ve been arguing with a fellow programmer recently. Right now you have to tell these programmer LLMs what to do on a function-by-function basis, because it doesn’t have enough capacity to think on a project level. However, that’s exactly what can be improved by scaling the neural network up. Right now the LLMs are limited by hardware, but they’re still using off-the-shelf GPUs that were designed for a completely different use case. The accelerators designed for AI are currently in the preproduction phase, very close to getting used in the AI data centers.

Servers often come without GPU, and they’re usually the ones encoding image formats.

A third party adaptation of Chromium could add support for other formats, the ones we know about right now just don’t bother.

As someone who has built solar battery packs, that’s not how batteries work. They have a single connection (positive and negative), not a charge and separate discharge port. If the charge voltage is the same as the battery voltage, it goes directly to the device.

The only problem is that you can’t keep the battery at 80% charged in this mode, which would be better for battery life while it’s not used.

How can open source hardware be a movement if the raw materials still have to be mined and factory produced?

Am I not understanding FOSH (free and open source hardware)? I have always dreamed of open source hardware but it has always seemed unshakeably and fundamentally reliant on for instance massive open pit mines mining all over the world in finite dwindling supply wrecking local ecosystems every element necessary for computer...

Or the trains in Poland that throw up phantom fault when started within certain geofences that happen to be located on the competition’s repair centers.

Switching platform isn’t great when you lose access to all of the apps that were bought for the previous one. There’s a big incentive to not switch.

anlumo ,

Holy shit there are some bootlickers in the comments on that article.

anlumo ,

Would you pay for the missed income then? Who would?

anlumo ,

Does that doll have a wallet?

anlumo ,

Your description matches my understanding of the process (as someone who left iOS development a few years ago).

I don’t think that the DMA is technical enough to differentiate in this precise manner. Keep in mind that it was written by lawmakers and politicians who mostly don’t know how to even use a smartphone. They'd think that a certificate is a piece of paper with fancy signatures on it.

anlumo ,

On the positive side, those fines could fix the finances of a few smaller EU countries in a single sweep.

anlumo ,

Yeah, the first operation of every jailbreak was to disable this protection.

anlumo ,

No, macOS allows sideloading apps that are still signed by Apple.

anlumo ,

Yes, but that's separate from what I'm talking about.

anlumo ,

It also doesn’t preserve cookies after closing the window. I’m also curious what people expect that mode to do.

anlumo ,

There's money to be made with more people on the Internet, and especially dumb people. So that's where it's going.

anlumo ,

They’d still see that they’re using Signal, which is probably good enough for the whip.

anlumo ,

That piece of news is like a decade old. There are people on the net now that weren’t even born when AdBlock Plus turned to shit.

anlumo ,

Works fine for me with Ublock Origin.

anlumo ,

Power can’t be generated anyways, only transformed.

anlumo ,

Some Chinese manufacturers are already working on undermining this by releasing 12V non-PD devices that use the plug. Those devices are not compatible with regular chargers and if you use their power supply for something else that device will be destroyed (because it’s designed for 5V not 12).

Futurists are people who cosplay as scientists predicting stuff they have no clue about.
