The categories that they used for “sabotage” (Entering proprietary information into a different AI, using unapproved chatbots, and using low-quality AI responses as-is) seem like they’re just put together so they can blame employees for sabotage for the failure of the AI rollout, rather than employers trying to wedge it onto a bad use case, or not rolling it out properly.

The first two just seem like the company having issues with people going straight to ChatGPT, and using that as-is, and the third seems to be more people not really caring and using the AI output as required.

None of that comes across as outright sabotage like the organisation or article the to imply. All three seem like reasonable end-points of telling people to use AI, and giving them metrics they need to meet, or a not-great interface, so they just go off and use a different AI thing, because it’s all AI, and basically the same thing, right?

It is weird that they use it as a national identification number, when they are ostensibly virulently against the concept, and it was never designed to be used in that manner to begin with.

It’s like a better iPad in a way, since you could run full-scale desktop programs on it, and use it like a desktop.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if things like surfaces were one of the reasons why Apple seems to be making a push to try and make the iPad functional as a computer on its own.

It’s also an 8 gigaparameter model. That’s pretty tiny, even if they use it heaps.

More than a decade on, and it’s still one of the best kindles ever made, in my opinion.

You had physical buttons instead of a fiddly touch-screen, you could have music, have it read to you, and also go on the internet.

Plus it’s old enough it supports a bunch of formats, and registers as a mass storage device to a computer, so anything can use it.

Human drivers, if they could get LIDAR with their car, would probably also use it.

Why not aim for better than what humans can do?

According to the article linked in the article, it’s not that the operating system itself is more demanding, but more that the DE, and Browsers/Websites are more demanding now.

It feels like that Canonical basically needs to do the games thing of having a set of minimum specs for Ubuntu to run at all, and a recommend specs for Ubuntu to run well. Canonically basically bumped up the latter, but it’s being taken as the former.

It’s odd, since they used to have a rather nice HTML web interface specifically for low-peformance devices, but it’s since gone away.

This doesn’t seem so bad, though. 2 GB more in about 10 years is pretty reasonable in terms of an increase.

It’s not like they doubled it.

A little confused, is this basically the same thing as Open Street Maps, just in app form?

Is that not on Krafton for buying Unknown Worlds for $500 million, and then offering an additional $250 million if they achieve particular goals?

If it was unrealistic, then don’t buy the company for that much, and provide a contract with those terms.

From Unknown Worlds’ perspective, it would have been irresponsible not to take the deal, assuming no other conditions.

That Krafton’s CEO got buyer’s remorse isn’t their problem to deal with. Caveat emptor and all that.

To be fair, $500 million is a lot of money.

You can barely blame them for not wanting to turn that down.

Should it pan out as planned, they’d get another quarter of a billion. That’s money enough that if you’re halfway sensible with it, you and your descendants would never have to work again.

Even when evenly divided across the entire company, it’s still a life-changing amount. ($1.6 - 2.3 million per person)

It’s also quite unexpected, given that it’s Apple, and they’ve traditionally made more expensive machines, with worse hardware. In my country, for example, it is nearly unheard of for a new Apple computer to cost less than four digits/US$800+.

Particularly at a time when it’s more typical to hear of new computer prices going up instead, due to shortages.

A projector might be an option, but they have their own problems, like with the contrast not being great.

Would it not make sense for them to? Since they make budget televisions, they have to subsidise the cost somehow.

Either that, or because they’re so budget, you’d expect them to cheap out on the electronics and not bother with anything that sophisticated compared to a bare-minimum chip.

It’s also pretty important infrastructure. Even before AI, one of the major providers datacentres going down would take out a solid chunk of modern internet.

All he made was some dinky algorithm. Google Bard could do that in three minutes flat smh.

I do wish that more games still had cheats. It does feel a bit like a lot of newer games have foregone them entirely. You can’t type plane into GTA V, and have a plane materialise, like you could in Vice City, for example.

You’d need to mod it in.

It might also be groundwork for more complicated things on their GPUs.

The article says nothing about nVidia actually planning to enter the desktop CPU market, only that a bunch of unrelated analysts compared the CPU performance, and said it was about equal to what’s on the market.
