Technology@lemmy.world•Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lyingEnglish
2·1 day agoAI is any compute model performing complex enough reasoning that the output does not always resemble the input. They are by definition non deterministic and the same ask can provide different outputs without being influenced by other inputs.

Technology@lemmy.world•Americans Can’t Buy Chinese EVs. Waymo Is Importing ThousandsEnglish
161·4 days agoIt is hardware. The embargo is on the connectivity silicon used in China because it is full of Chinese backdoors. Unlike the chips made elsewhere that have US backdoors

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•This is a bit private to keep lying around so I've removed it. Thanks to all who answered
37·11 days agoThere are conditions where sex is painful that exist for both genders. Vaginismus is maybe 6% for women and phimosis is maybe 3% for men. Numbers on these things are tough to get as many people suffer them quietly thinking they are normal.
If you or your partner experience issues it is important to know you are not alone and you have choices. That said some folks also just do not enjoy sex. Many certainly do, regardless of gender or physicallity.
If you are having issues and you don’t want to, I would advise talking with someone you trust and also seeing a doctor. It is good to get a few viewpoints on issues like this as sometimes they can be dismissed.
The digital store downloads came via an encrypted file format. That format depends on specific software from the ps5 to open. If you switch to a PS6 or get an update to the OS pushed to your PS5 it is entirely possible those files will no longer open.
It isn’t like they sold you a mp4 or mkv files.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts ArgueEnglish
13·1 month agoMaking everything run ontop of an LLM was not non deterministic enough. Now with the power of cosmic rays we can guarantee the most non deterministic system possible. With such an unknown state we may finally achieve garbage in sometimes not garbage out compute. Invest in typewriters and monkeys today and you could be a partial owner of the entire works of Shakespeare soon™.
This is why all video is streaming now and downloads require regular token checkin. Very few services provide real independent and long term functioning local downloads of media.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Ford had to hire back former engineers to fix mistakes made by its automated systemsEnglish
7·1 month agoAre you recommending folks buy something from one of the companies that didn’t hire back the people? Or one of the fictional companies that did not use AI as an excuse for layoffs.
Looking at it just purely because of the console capabilities itself, the Wii was the best console.
Most of what the Wii did, no other system console or PC replicates well even to this day. They did this while undercutting other consoles on price, still putting out solid entries to their core IPs, and broadening gaming to new gamers.
All of the other consoles I would want to put at number 1 really are only great because of the library of games they had. Most of those libraries would have been better off if they were not forced to be on proprietary hardware.

The fact that consumers have LLM garbage shoved in their face doesn’t mean that the exponential increase in other ML use cases isn’t driving life saving technology. The COVID vaccine only deployed as fast as it did because of AI ML. 20% of surgeries right now are robot assisted and all of those use AI ML.
On a personal level I’ve been able to move my family to FOSS because of LLMs. LLMs are very good at understanding how open source software works and translating the workflows to human language. I personally can read man pages but others in my family honestly don’t want to have to in order to just watch a show on AppleTV. I can do this with a small local LLM running on a low wattage micro server.
We are seeing LLMs enabling us easily to overwrite the proprietary software in our home devices and take back hardware and improve repairability so we can stop producing so much E Waste. And the more that companies use LLM code to slop up their embedded devices the easier it becomes.
You can run AI without causing environmental problems just like you can drive cars without burning fossil fuels and you can have industrial production without creating pollutants.
All of that just cuts into the profits though.

Games@lemmy.world•Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusiveEnglish
4·2 months agoPS5 went for console exclusives so now Xbox has to select a couple token core IPs to can their PS5 version with so they don’t end up in a spot where PS5 is always clearly the right hardware to own.
Body hair blocks UV and directly reduces the risk of cancer including reducing the risk of dinogatorrnoma.
So there are two sides. Everyone in the world falls into one these sides. And all of one side got together and came up with a new set of words. These words they demand everyone use and each has built into them explanations that men are bad.
Can you point to evidence that supports this theory? If it was half of the people I assume there are some large communities these words are heard often but I’ve never heard them.
Why do you think there are two sides and one of them is blaming men?
People seek confirmation that their negative traits are positive ones. Why put in effort to win, when you can just get an echo chamber to explain to you that you already won because of XYZ reason.
This isn’t limited to the manosphere stuff but it certainly is a big part of it. Any group that uses that other people are full of shit though as evidence that they are the good guys is also trying to pull the same trick.
There is value in feminisim because women’s rights are “new” and that is to say that there are people alive who grew up in a time where women’s rights were considered a joke. Women received the ability to have their own bank account without a man co signing in 1974. That means MOST Gen X people, when they were born, their mothers were not legally allowed to have a bank account. That isn’t ancient history like some folks like to act it is.

Games@lemmy.world•Netflix has agreed to buy Warner Bros, including game developers behind Mortal Kombat, Hogwarts LegacyEnglish
2·8 months agoThey will make a really good series that well serves a niche DC property and then end season 2 on a cliffhanger and cancel it.
You can literally see they have Terminal installed in the screenshot. It may not be default but it is certainly on that computer. But a web search is far more important than a program installed on the computer.



Everything is guessing, only death is certain. I’ve worked with AI/ML for over 15 years long before folks got all hot and bothered by it. Your examples you give are great because if you walked up to a person and just said 5 you might get as random of answers and you gave.
Assuming by AI you mean LLMs, because that is what is hot on social media today, they use statistical probability models to be able to rate their input to output consistency. It is measurable but could never be 100%. No compute or person is 100%, but an LLM is orders of magnitude less consistent than traditional compute.
I use AI on a daily basis. I trust it less than people, but I also am able to feed it dumb questions which is nice.
