2 days agoI don’t think eSIM providers do but I admit I didn’t check. It’d be even more convenient, no need to leave your home to switch.

Exactly, sure disconnect customers from the Internet if they use it for entertainment… but once they use it to earn the income that pays their bills, it becomes questionable… and once it is in practice required to be a citizen, at the local, national or supra national level then it becomes a totally different question, to which the answer is basically no, you can’t disconnect someone otherwise you remove their citizenship.
while WINE/Proton are good, they’re not infallible.
Just finished the latest trendy AAA game (Clair Obscur) thanks to Proton and Steam… 45hrs of (amazing) gaming and I didn’t tinker with a single option.
extremely not tech-savvy
You managed to make an account and post on Lemmy so you’re probably underestimated your technical knowledge. That being said IMHO it’s best to first list what software you use then find alternatives that work on Linux. Once that’s done then yes sure try whatever distribution you want.
If you know the right tool for the task, very few things take time. IMHO what’s more problematic is that with enshitification you’re swimming upstream. Sure as long as the maintainer finds the right trick, you can postpone indefinitely bad “surprises” but ultimately, why do so when proper alternatives more aligned with your Worldview exist?
Ironically enough that’s is exactly the kind of seemingly “simple” question a 4 years old could answer… but LLMs can’t.
Asked my better half to test DeepSeek locally few months ago and they, without trying to “trick” it (as I would have tried) genuinely tried “What time is it in Sri Lanka?”. That made me smile because I was rather sure there was no way the model could answer that. It would need to know the current time on any time zone then, if it’s not in Sri Lanka already (which it wasn’t on my local system) would have to convert it. That would be very basic arithmetic (that some 4 years old could also do) but not “just” spitting back words related to the question.
Guess what… it failed exactly as expected. The model replied back “information” (which is being generous for a string of words arguably related to the topic, which was mostly about Sri Lanka, not time) and yet was basically irrelevant and thus useless.
So… yes I’m not actually sure CoPilot could even help there unless there is a lot of custom made handling of this kind of queries upstream!
What?! Haven’t your heard?
- FSD is happening next year, for sure,
- we’re still 18 months away from developers being replaced,
- it’s “deep” reasoning, basically nearly ASI!
/s (obviously)
He should just goto hell early.
He’s going to Mars as soon as FSD on Tesla is ready, next year for sure!, to not blow in his rocket then once there chat with his amazing chatbot telling him, with 20min delay for each message, that he truly is the best.
What an absolute retard.
I literally asked, you implied.
specs were too low
what usage was limited by specs?
On Firefox (my default browser everywhere it’s available) I use the Coil extension but seems it’s now called InterLedger (Wallet) cf https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-monetization-extension/
If you go on my web site https://fabien.benetou.fr/ you should see 3 hearts under the 3D model if it’s enabled.
being sensationalist. OR (and more likely answer). Musk is building some bespoke data center in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere without the local infrastructure to support it
It’s exactly what’s been reporting in several pieces from 404 Media, and others. Namely xAI does NOT have the infrastructure BUT Musk has a history (Tesla, SpaceX, etc) of cutting corners. He “gets shit done” like no one else not because he’s particularly smart or efficiency … but because he breaks the law, as simple as that.
histrionic
True… yet nearly everybody else, maybe beside few like 404 media, seems to be either boot licking or access “journalism” so I get the “spicy” take.
May I introduce you to https://webmonetization.org/ ?
Thanks, any publication please to better understand how it work?
Please help on https://lemmy.world/post/31304750/17675245
Skimmed through the article and I found it surprisingly difficult to pinpoint what “AI” solution they actually covered, despite going as far as opening the supplementary data of the research they mentioned. Maybe I’m missing something obvious so please do share.
AFAICT they are talking about using computer vision techniques to highlight potential problems in addition to bringing the non annotated image.
This… is great! But I’d argue this is NOT what “AI” at the moment is hyped about. What I mean is that computer vision and statistics have been used, in medicine and elsewhere, with great success and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be applied. Rather I would argue the hype at he moment in AI is about LLM and generative AI. AFAICT (but again had a hard time parsing through this paper to get anything actually specific) none of that is using it.
FWIW I did specific in my post tht my criticism was about “modern” AI, not AI as a field in general.
There are pretty great applications in medicine.
Like what? I discussed just 2 days ago with a friend who works in public healthcare, who is bullish about AI and best he could come up with DeepMind AlphaFold which is yes interesting, even important, and yet in a way “good old fashion AI” as has been the case for the last half century or so, namely a team of dedicated researchers, actual humans, focusing on a hard problem, throwing state of the art algorithms at a problem and some compute resources… but AFAICT there is so significant medicine research that made a significant change through “modern” AI like LLMs.
Can’t believe I’m doing this… but here I go, actually defending cryptocurrency/blockchain :
… so yes there are some functionalities to AI. In fact I don’t think anybody is saying 100% of it is BS and a scam, rather… just 99.99% of the marketing claims during the last decade ARE overhyped if not plain false. One could say the same for crypto/blockchain, namely that SQLite or a random DB or is enough for most people BUT there are SOME cases where it might actually be somehow useful, ideally not hijacked by “entrepreneurs” (namely VC tools) who only care about making money but not what the technology could actually bring.
Now anyway both AI & crypto use an inconceivable amount of resources (energy, water, GPU and dedicated hardware, real estimate, R&D top talent, human resources for dataset annotation including very VERY gruesome ones, etc) so yes even if in 0.01% they are actually useful one still must ask, is it worth it? Is it OK to burn literally tons of CO2eq … to generate an image that one could have done quite easily another way? Summarize a text?
IMHO both AI & crypto are not entirely useless in theory yet in practice have been :
- hijacked by VCs and grifters or all kinds,
- abused by pretty terrible people, including scammers and spammers,
- absolutely underestimated in terms of resource consumption and thus ecological and societal impact
So… sure, go generate some “stuff” if you want to but please be mindful of what it genuinely costs.
Probably specific by country then because I didn’t have to show any ID. FWIW
“To sign, you must provide a set of personal data, which is required by the authorities of your country for verification purposes.” which is as of a week ago and still today :
