  Well it’s not improving my productivity, and it does mostly slow me down, but it’s kind of entertaining to watch sometimes. Just can’t waste time on trying to make it do anything complicated because that never goes well.

  Tbh I’m mostly trying to use the AI tools my employer allows because it’s not actually necessary for me to believe that they’re helping. It’s good enough if the management thinks I’m more productive. They don’t understand what I’m doing anyway but if this gives them a warm fuzzy feeling because they think they’re getting more out of my salary, why not play along a little.

  What gets me is that even the traditional business models for LLMs are not great. Like translation, grammar checking, etc. Those existed before the boom really started. DeepL has been around for almost a decade and their services are working reasonably well and they’re still not profitable.

  As someone who sometimes makes demos of our own AI products at work for internal use, you have no idea how much time I spend on finding demo cases where LLM output isn’t immediately recognizable as bad or wrong…

  To be fair it’s pretty much only the LLM features that are like this. We have some more traditional AI features that work pretty well. I think they just tagged on LLM because that’s what’s popular right now.

  I played it on Steam Deck and it was fine. And the Switch 2 is more powerful than that, although it also has a much higher display resolution.

  Sometimes mandatory web proxies still allow direct connections to port 443 so as to not break https, which in return means as long as your connection is to port 443, that proxy will pass it through without interfering.

  I used to run sshd on port 443 for this reason back when I regularly had to work from client networks.

  I played MIDI Maze on Atari ST as a kid, that was long before Quake…

  Later in high school we played Doom over IPX.

  Problem is they’ve been smoking whatever Google AI recommends for too long now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wi-Fi 8 won't be faster, but will be better - more details emerge just hours after Wi-Fi 7 protocols are officially ratified⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  EasyMesh exists. But not many companies implement it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The article says it started on a Friday morning in Minnesota. It’s clear that that’s when the attack started and not a case of the first guy starting work that day discovering that it happened, because the article also says that they tried to contain it as it was going on, but ultimately failed.

  Minnesota is at UTC-5 and China is at UTC+8, meaning when it’s morning in Minnesota, it’s already 13 hours later in China, i.e. middle of the night.

  HFS has this limitation but isn’t the default file system anymore since several years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Epochalypse: It’s Y2K, But 38 Years Later⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  32-bit systems could only handle 4 GB of RAM

  I don’t understand why people always say that. Pentium Pro could handle 64 GB even though it was a 32 bit CPU. It had a 36 bit address bus. Later models are the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t seem to be based on petroleum, since they’re explicitly comparing it to petroleum-based plastics…

  There also are other non-petroleum based plastics that dissolve in water. This part is not new. E.g. polyvinyl alcohol is used widely.

  What’s new about this one is that it specifically needs salt to dissolve and they claim it’s otherwise relatively sturdy. So maybe it could be used instead of pet bottles for drinks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, connecting some of the hardware I used in the 80ies is not straight-forward. But not impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Informer Is Back and the Entire Team Has Returned⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just enough money to buy some physical goods, but not enough to buy so many that storage becomes a problem…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Samsung had a smart watch with a curved screen and a 3g modem in 2014 (the original Gear S). I guess it didn’t work out.
