  Yeah people often mention the funny phone designs from the 2000’s but they also praise the Nokia 3310 for its reliability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3114: Building a Fire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It didn’t understand the 4th panel as an explanation of the joke but just an emphasis on how absurd it is that the character planned all along that his installation will be wrong.

  Is your pin automatically updated to reflect inflation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea that RAGs “extend their memory” is also complete bullshit. We literally just finally build working search engine, but instead of using a nice interface for it we only let chatbots use them.

  A quotes from my networking teacher, a few years back :

  WikiLeaks revelations on NSA are great news to as, now we can by cheap Chinese hardware as we know it won’t spy on us any more than american hardware.

  To sum it up even more : this looks like standard end-to-end encryption, but any app user have the same network traffic, completed with fake data if no communication is needed.

  Also, working a bit on developing my photos from RAW over last years taught me how we actually expect a lot of magic from a regular camera. The brain does a lot of work and low/high light compensation, color balance, etc… are required to some extend. Of course sometimes it becomes a bit absurd : most smartphone pictures seems oversaturated, with clear blue skies and I one took a photo of a blue-ish mountain because (I think) some classifier thought it was part of the sky.

  Is there any chance this is the same HDR technology that has been around for at least 10 years, but using latest marketing buzzwords?

  I don’t mind having a few screws to remove every few years when I need to replace my battery.

  Although there is another thing, I’m not sure but I wonder if it has any impact. My FP3 has made a few very bad falls and nothing ever broke. I wonder if its “bad” integrity makes it very good at dissipating the fall’s energy.

  So mythical that it’s the first time I hear of this BS 🤷

  The fact that he tried to make it like there is a reasonable reason is delightful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I think there was some efforts, until we found out that adding billions of parameters to a model would allow both to write the useless part in emails that nobody reads and to strip out the useless part in emails that nobody reads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how even this flagship feature is just one more lazy shortcut to another app that bloats the context menu 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't pay rent because devs just don't care⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  😮‍💨

  AI assistant tools probably won’t push us on the right direction for this one. (Or maybe they will by encouraging people not to import a different library for any 6-lines function they need?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mark Zuckerberg Says Social Media Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did zuck say anything relevant to the market in the past 10+years?

  It’s a provocation but I’m also kinda curious, with the level of information and consulting he has access to he must be choosing the topics he is relevant about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deepfake porn is destroying real lives in South Korea | CNN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My thoughts exactly. There are a lot of things that look like a newspaper but are just very long editorials. On the other end we still have a few kinda reputable sources that actually do some journalism work (debunking, actually investigating on site, arguing …).

  Journalism and all forms of counter power look super weak in my county but mixing everything up just makes the important work even weaker.

  no reason to believe it violates “democratic values”

  In my country the law is one of the pillars of democracy, but you do you 👍

  At least it was Americans talking on an american platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if we had french Europeans leaders having occasionally this kind of discussions on Microsoft Teams or some Google chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On Signal you can verify user identify, and you should absolutely do it if we to discuss national security maters.

  This is not a hidden feature, I think it’s designed to prevent man in the middle attack. It also work against the “oops I accidentally added a journalist to my conversation no one should know of”, which is so dumb that no one saw this coming 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you were to discuss national security maters with someone, please just verify your safety numbers, IRL or through another safe and verified channel 🙄

  Can we stop benchmarking text generation models on things they’re not designed to do and start educating people on what they actually can do?

  Oh no we can’t, there’s already hundreds of commercial services…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit out of context my you recall me of some thinking I heard recently about lying vs. bullshitting.

  Lying, as you said, requires quite a lot of energy : you need an idea of what the truth is and you engage yourself in a long-term struggle to maintain your lie and keep it coherent as the world goes on.

  Bullshit on the other hand is much more accessible : you just have to say things and never look back on them. It’s very easy to pile a ton of them and it’s much harder to attack you about any of them because they’re much less consequent.

  So in that view, a bullshitter doesn’t give any shit about the truth, while a liar is a bit more “noble”. 0

  You don’t need any knowledge of computers to understand how big of a deal it would be if we actually built a reliable fact machine. For me the only possible explanation is to not care enough to try and think about it for a second.
