Echo Dot

I don’t think I’ve carried a wallet in about 5 years. I just have my phone in my pocket, if I need to buy something I just use my phone.

The one in the screenshot has a digital interface, which it made it look like a phone cover but it’s way too small to be a phone cover.

I honestly think the image is AI generated and it’s just based on a wallet.

All metal what? I can’t even work out what it is. Given the fact that I don’t know what this is, I’m reasonably confident that I don’t want it.

There’s no point telling it not to do x because as soon as you mention it x it goes into its context window.

It has no filter, it’s like if you had no choice in your actions, and just had to do every thought that came into your head, if you were told not to do a thing you would immediately start thinking about doing it.

We have so many tickets open with third party companies that almost certainly won’t get resolved until the new year that there’s no point worrying about our productivity.

Yeah, god dam Europeans, having a different culture to me.

Zuckerberg just wants to build his own universe where he’s in charge of everything and everything costs money and there no taxes.

You can bet there were pitching ideas such as paying people with game money.

A lot of those plans very much in the “assume a spherical chicken in a vacuum” territory. They only work on paper, and tend to assume things like criminal gangs are randomly just sort of going to get out of the way and not interfere. Also there are no corrupt government officials, and the people you are trying to help actually recognise that, and respond positively.

It’s got nothing to do with artificial intelligence, the writer of the article is just an idiot.

What quantum mechanical problem would an LLM be able to assist with? We don’t understand quantum mechanics all that well so how would an AI trained on a data be any better? Truly stupid article.

So you can’t actually solve problems. You can just look up previously solved problems.

What a clever idea to write the results of an experiment down.

I really want to see a Dreamcast in a hermetically sealed bag. I will never get to of course because the sort of people who put dreamcasts in hermetically sealed bags are not the sort of people whose homes you want to go to.

The promise of “fiber to the home” is still mostly unrealized

Really? The US is really unsophisticated in certain key areas that you wouldn’t expect.

Wow and hardly any loading screens.

The fact that this has seven upvotes is hugely concerning.

Because they don’t have a clue how technology actually works. I have genuinely heard people claim that AI should run on Asimovs laws of robotics, even though not only would they not work in the real world, they don’t even work in the books. Zero common sense.

Pretty sure it’s also going to tell people to alt f4 as well.

It reminds me of that guy that gave an AI instructions in all caps, as if that was some sort of safeguard. The problem isn’t the artificial intelligence it’s the idiot biological that has decided to ride around without safety wheels.

This article is so stupid rmdir isn’t some magical military grade file eraser. It literally just flags the disc space as available, that’s it. Claiming these files are unrecoverable is like claiming that you have snapped someone out of existence, when you just delete them from your contacts.

The user in question was using AI to delete files, it probably took them longer to ask the AI to do it than it would have done for them to have just gone into the final browser and deleted them themselves, so they probably don’t know how to use data recovery software, that’s all.

I also find it intriguing that rather than using the AI’s advice and stop using the drive so they don’t overwrite data they decided that the best course of action would be to make a YouTube video about it. Which is probably a massive file and is probably overwritten previously recoverable data.

What a pillock.

Hell even in Amsterdam they have traffic lights. This isn’t an issue about the lack of public transportation.

I think the arguement is that the cameras are only there because people are running red lights. Don’t you want to catch people who habitually run red lights, and therefore represent a danger to the public? If you’re not the sort of person who runs the red lights then the cameras are irrelevant to you.
