Tried it for python coding involving PDFs, OCR, and text substitution. Did worse than GPT-4o (which also failed).
Gave up and told it so. At least, it was very apologetic.

At uni, got acquainted with a rich Saudi kid. Super nice guy. There was an event in a city 30 miles away. He offered a ride. Pulled up in a bright orange Corvette. Cool.
White-knuckle ride the whole way. Ridiculously fast. On the way back, he mentioned the car was his third. Somehow, he had managed to flip over and total the first two. Fell out of touch after that.
This story reminded me of him. Hope he survived college.

All those terrible stories during the cold snap. Hopefully, a thing in the past.

When it first came out, my first thought was privacy.
It's the single most immutable piece of information about a person. You can change your clothes, hair, face, address, phone number, driver's license, passport and SSN (a little harder, but doable), hell -- even your fingerprints if you really must.
But your DNA?
And you'd put it out on some webserver, voluntarily, as unprotected medical data?

I hadn't been there in a long while, but a friend sent a link to what he said was a funny tweet. It was, but the responses were just awful, and they all had blue checkmarks.
Every single inserted ad was for right-wing grifts (crypto, t-shirts, gold coins, etc) or awful right-wing politicians looking angry or posing with guns.
Noped right out.
I pointed it out to my wife, but she says the journalists she follows are still all there. 🤷🏻♂️

There was an appliance where the wifi chip was at the end of the power cable, embedded inside the plug. From the outside, you couldn't really tell. It was there so radiation inside the box couldn't affect the wireless signal as much.
I can imagine some genius thinking it's a good idea to run a server from inside a cable or a connected home appliance.

Ed is getting good at lobbing these darts at hype bubbles.
The thing that this writeup ignores is that the object isn't to show short-term revenue, but to put all competitors out of business, be the last one standing, and create a monopoly. Either that or get bought out so the investors can move on to the next thing. But at $150B valuation, only MSFT or Nvidia can afford to buy them outright.
Google, Meta, and Amazon burned through cash for years, but they eventually outran all competition and then monetized the users who had nowhere else to go.

In earlier drone shows, they moved the drones into position to make the image they were going for, so navigation and collision avoidance was an issue.
With 7500, it feels like they can just set up a pixel grid in the sky, never move the drones (other than adjusting for wind), then just change the colors to get the image they need.

From the makers of demand-priced car rides, concert tickets, and rents comes _VariPay_, a new Demand Based Salary calculator. Instead of a fixed salary, employee income will be based on how much work there is to do, and when there is enough work, how efficient they were and how much effort they put into it. The system is purely driven by AI, so nobody can accuse the vendor of favoritism. It runs continuously 24x7, making instant salary calculation updates no matter where in the world you live. The service can automatically integrate with the previously announced _AutoHR_ system, so firing and re-hiring replacement workers are handled with minimum friction. Efficiency levels can be charted in units of currency, aggregated worker heart-rate levels, or kilo-teardrops. It comes with a management dashboard showing the amount of salary saved vs a traditional 'time-based' pay system. It also allows alarms to be set and parameters adjusted to accelerate cost-saving measures. Optional modules dynamically calculate management bonuses and maximize shareholder buybacks.

Not sure if true, but someone raised an issue when this was first announced. That you can no longer refuse to unlock your phone when stopped, since you'll have to unlock it to show your digital driver's license.

Apologize if this is a dupe, but is there a way to transfer one's acoount from one lemmy instance to another? Ideally, it involves one's posts and comments, but definitely one's saves. Both accounts are active and in good health. Thanks!
