  Yeah, talking to some folks on a recent visit to the states. It sounds like there are at least some young voters who would normally vote D but won’t because of Biden’s age that are leaning towards RFK. I don’t think his influence can be easily dismissed

  I think auto generated subtitles were to fulfil a FCC requirement, some years ago, for content subtitling. It has however turned out super useful for LLM feeding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple introduces M4 chip⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’ll come to the Air’s and the Mac Mini at some point. I suspect it’s actually cheaper to make on the new process node (it’s the second generation of TSMC’s 3nm process), so maybe it won’t be too far off.

  MKBHD did a video on this. Pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY

  Yeah worth considering, gets stuff done with less complexity than k8s. Teams that choose it seem to delivery more quickly IME.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most notable thing about this game was it was one of the first to launch with FSR3 frame generation. Other than that I think I’d have completely forgotten about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Premium announces 100 million subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While YouTube doesn’t commission, much, content it does store disproportionately more data. A streaming site has maybe 1,000,000 hours of content. That amount of content is uploaded to YouTube every day. It’s a totally different business model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ehat are the legal implications of this?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Burger King has started charging for mayo, the one near me in leeds anyway :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube now suggests new content *by colour*⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like an interesting spin on what is basically ’random’. Probably a decent way to get content in front of users that might be outside their normal recommendations.

  Is it some essential new feature, no, it’s just a bit of fun to find some new content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mark Zuckerberg indicates Meta is spending billions of dollars on Nvidia AI chips⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  total expenditures potentially reaching $9 billion

  I imagine they negotiated quite the discount in that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there somewhere adults can speak to someone in times of crisis?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For folks in the UK if you’re in crisis contact the Samaritans https://www.samaritans.org/ call 116 123. It’s free and 24/7 and fully confidential. They’re helped me out in the past, don’t hesitate to call.

  Oh great, another key to accidentally press when I’m in a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My first time playing Cities Skylines⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference being the use of frontage roads. The entrances and exits from the main carriageway onto the frontage roads will be between this exit and the next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sainsbury’s boss defends decision to sell customers’ Nectar card data⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect that nectar prices are a way to get around the trading standards legislation that requires items on sale to have been offered at the higher price for 14 days. The nectar price isn’t a ‘sale’ so it doesn’t apply. Not that I have collected any evidence for this but it seems like my experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Bing search engine claims Australia doesn't exist⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it for free access to gpt-4 and dalle-3. Can’t say I use it as a browser though.
