World News@lemmy.world•Chinese mega-embassy in London approved by government after debate over security risksEnglish
1·6 months agoAmazing, considering how uptight their cybersecurity requirements are. Stringent as fuck, but, let’s drop this in the middle of London. Cool cool.
There has been strong social support systems in Finland for example, but even there birth rates here have been falling. I can tell you that when you have an aggressive neighbor pushing a war right next door, job prospects are uncertain, inflation is eating away at wages, and social safety nets are being cut or dismantled, it fundamentally changes how people think about having children. That kind of instability and uncertainty about the future makes starting a family feel like too big a risk for many people.
I can also add that Trump is also screwing over the planet with his damn tariffs. This has caused variation in availability and fluctuations in pricing. It’s also continuing greedflation.
We hear about it every day. Now, let’s see how women feel about cranking out more tax payers.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Was plex ever good or was it designed to be a rug pull?
51·10 months agoLikewise. Lifetime pass, but I’ll never touch their product again. They really dicked over a lot of people to please corporate threats. Now it’s just an enshittified dumpster fire to me.
How is having physical access to their phone different from having their wallet with credit cards and id?
In your scenario either way, the thief has it. My wallet doesn’t have any facial recognition or passcode option, or native GPS tracker if it’s stolen.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla said it didn’t have key data in a fatal crash. Then a hacker found it.English
471·10 months agoGood article! Thanks for the archive link. Amazing that this type of shady shit which Tesla is doing is likewise behind a paywalled source where people can’t get this information as easily.
Inside a Starbucks near the Miami airport, the plaintiffs’ attorneys watched as greentheonly fired up his ThinkPad computer and plugged in a flash drive containing a forensic copy of the Autopilot unit’s contents. Within minutes, he found key data that was marked for deletion — along with confirmation that Tesla had received the collision snapshot within moments of the crash — proving the critical information should have actually been accessible all along.
The attorneys high-fived behind him.
Basically too, Tesla has also tried to delete the data again by powering up the unit from the crash, which would have ‘updated’ the device and conveniently removed data. How STRANGE it maintains this behavior… especially for collision snapshots.
Tesla is actively harming people, lying about it, and using shitty tactics to avoid any responsibility for it. Just like its daddy, Elon.
Seriously. This is so fucked yo. I’m NEVER EVER going to buy Tesla.

Technology@lemmy.world•95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report FindsEnglish
2·11 months agoOCR was more my thinking, not Pandoc. LLMs enable OCR to achieve greater accuracy through context enhancement for example.

Technology@lemmy.world•95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report FindsEnglish
1921·11 months agoI would argue we have seen return. Documentation is easier. Tools for PDF, Markdown have increased in efficacy. Coding alone has lowered the barrier to bringing building blocks and some understanding to the masses. If we could hitch this with trusted and solid LLM data, it makes a lot of things easier for many people. Translation is another.
I find it very hard to believe 95% got ZERO benefit. We’re still benefiting and it’s forcing a lot of change (in the real world). Example, more power use? More renewable energy, and even (yes safe) nuclear is expanding. Energy storage is next.
These ‘AI’ (broadly used) tools will also get better and improve the interface between physical and digital. This will become ubiquitous, and we’ll forget we couldn’t just ‘talk’ to computers so easily.

I’ll end with, I don’t say ‘AI’ is an overblown and overused and overutilized buzzword everywhere these days. I can’t say about bubbles and shit either. But what I see is a lot of smart people making LLMs and related technologies more efficient, more powerful, and is trickling into many areas of software alone. It’s easier to review code, participate, etc. Literal papers are published constantly about how they find new and better and more efficient ways to do things.

News@lemmy.world•Trump greets Putin with a red carpet. Ukrainians feel betrayed.
5·11 months agoRemember when he had Zelenskyy in the White House and they just picked on him, and made him thank them. Pepperidge Farms remembers. What a total asshole. Like. Trump should be synonymous with toilets or something.

It was more that Encryption is constantly under threat. I don’t know how that gets downvoted.






They also don’t acknowledge the problem plastics present. It’s obvious plastic waste is a huge problem. They don’t lift a finger about that. But sure they’ll dump millions into PACs and other shitty special interest groups.
Fuck big oil, fuck Nebraska AG Mike Hilgers.
