- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 10 months ago:
Despite how bad Google Search had become, DuckDuckGo and Bing are somehow still worse. While Google displays the result in the first few, DDG and Bing have no idea what I’m looking for.
Gotta try Kagi sometime.
- Comment on Japan determines copyright doesn't apply to LLM/ML training data 10 months ago:
If you make it reproduce copyrighted media, it is a problem.
As long as the stuff it generates doesn’t resemble any copyrighted works, even if it was trained on copyrighted works, I don’t see why that should be problem.
- Comment on Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. 10 months ago:
Vista was amazing and 8/8.1 was refreshing. Also, Vista introduced hardware accelerated desktop rendering in Windows, finally no more tearing. I enjoyed using them. I personally haven’t had any gripes with any of the recent Windows versions.

I’m proud of you
- Comment on Square Enix’s president says it will be ‘aggressive in applying’ AI 10 months ago:
This smells like investor-baiting. Studios don’t really need to announce that they’re going “aggressive” in using a certain tool.
- Comment on Not noice 10 months ago:
Don’t talk to me if your average ratio is less than 1.0.
- Comment on Meta’s new AI image generator was trained on 1.1 billion Instagram and Facebook photos 11 months ago:
I wonder if they’d release the weights and training/inferencing code. They did it for LLaMA.
There’s been a lot of open source alternatives to Stable Diffusion lately and it’s great.
- Comment on this AI thing 11 months ago:
This is what AI actually is. Not the super-intelligent “AI” that you see in movies, those are fiction.
The NPC you see in video games with a few branches of if-else statements? Yeah that’s AI too.
- Comment on Asking ChatGPT to Repeat Words ‘Forever’ Is Now a Terms of Service Violation 11 months ago:
I don’t think they would care if it didn’t get popular and having thousands of people trying it out, eating up huge amount of compute resources.
It’s a known quirk of LLMs.
- Comment on Asking ChatGPT to Repeat Words ‘Forever’ Is Now a Terms of Service Violation 11 months ago:
It’s definitely cost. There are other ways to make it generate text that is similar to training data without needing it to endlessly repeat words so I doubt OpenAI cares.
- Comment on Google Researchers’ Attack Prompts ChatGPT to Reveal Its Training Data 11 months ago:
“leak training data”? What? That’s not how LLMs work. I guess a sensational headline attracts more clicks than a factually accurate one.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly auto-installing the HP Smart app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs 11 months ago:
If you do this and then later you face some sort of issue with Windows, remember that it might not be Windows’ fault.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed 11 months ago:
Then I really don’t see how it’s a plus. Smaller kernel size? lol
- Comment on Microsoft’s Windows Hello fingerprint authentication has been bypassed 11 months ago:
You can choose not to use it even if Linux supports it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Yes I’m watching Frieren with him rn
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Of course I do. It’s the most convenient desktop OS I’ve used.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I love Linux and Windows 11 (I use both daily). It’s quite tiring to see that the usual discourse about Windows is to switch to Linux, instead of actually about using Windows.
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
Wow that’s really pricey. Here in Malaysia a 2 HP mini split with inverter costs roughly RM 2400 including installation (around $500).
Granted the average salary here is much lower but it’s amazing how much the prices differ given that they all basically come from the same factory.
- Comment on Firefox Got Faster for Real Users in 2023 1 year ago:
That’s wack. I’ve never seen Firefox that take long to open. Here’s a video of it opening in a VM running Ubuntu 22.04: streamable.com/aqkftv
- Comment on Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support | PCMag 1 year ago:
Windows 11 is just Windows 10 23H2. It’s just a number. Nothing stops MS from dropping support for older processor in an update for Windows 10.
- Comment on This new data poisoning tool lets artists fight back against generative AI 1 year ago:
Disagree. It’s only unethical if you use it to generate the artist’s piece and claim it as yours.
- Comment on Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium 1 year ago:
Don’t give them viewership too.
- Comment on youtube getting more agressive 1 year ago:
That’s way too expensive. I guess regional pricing did me good because here it costs an equivalent of $3.75 (RM 17.90). That much for Premium + Music ain’t no way I’m not taking it.
Spotify costs $3.35 (RM 15.90).
- Comment on A controversial tier list 1 year ago:
Disagree with milk. It can stay in B because it makes cappuccino and latte possible.
- Comment on Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week 1 year ago:
I paid for Overwatch too but tbh I’d rather have Overwatch 2. There’s no loot box bullcrap and the playerbase now is actually pretty sizeable now compared to OW1 near the end.
I do miss the free rewards but they’re just cosmetics. A bigger playerbase is more beneficial to the game than more free skins.
- Comment on BBC will block ChatGPT AI from scraping its content 1 year ago:
I don’t really care about online AI services. I only run stuff locally (Stable Diffusion, LLaMA). No surveillance there.
- Comment on AI Industry Struggles to Curb Misuse as Users Exploit Generative AI for Chaos 1 year ago:
It’s really not a problem. We have both open source and proprietary solutions for generative AI. If you have the hardware for it, you can generate images locally for free. If you don’t, just use one of the many available services.
It’s literally giving the power of expression to almost everyone, including artists.
Also let’s not talk about jobs/money. Technology replacing jobs isn’t something new and that’s what humanity should strive toward.
- Comment on BBC will block ChatGPT AI from scraping its content 1 year ago:
You got that backwards. Fuck copyright. Nothing should be copyrighted.
- Comment on BBC will block ChatGPT AI from scraping its content 1 year ago:
What if ChatGPT claims that the generated text are a compilation from various sources and not its own? Do you need permission to read and summarize an article?
- Comment on Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week 1 year ago:
Overwatch 2 is great so it’s not all bad.
