That’s a really high quality photo for 2003. Most photographs from that time were early digital cameras and tended to max out about 720p resolution. It also doesn’t look like a scanned photograph because there’s no grain.

That’s the tactic my goth girlfriend employees. It has its downsides.

What if you’re not a 15-year-old girl and therefore don’t have TikTok and Instagram are they going to arrest you? What a truly stupid country.

So does the US just want to totally kill its tourist industry because that seems to be the objective.

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.

They do. But a lot of displays don’t support DP so HDMI is there for them. If you have a capable TV, then there is no issue.

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.

I’m reasonably confident Saudi Arabia is not trying to human traffic 30+ software developers.

I have never posted anything on my LinkedIn account, I set up the account years ago when I believed it it would actually be beneficial, quickly realised it wouldn’t be, and abandoned it.

I get recruiters chasing me all the time, everyone in the industry does.

That’s not to say there are necessarily a lot of jobs, there may be, but the recruiters are so bad at their jobs that it’s hard to tell. They’re also trying to get me to move to another continent all the time. Why can’t Saudi Arabia just use their own people, I don’t get it.

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.

If it isn’t, it never will be.

Linux has everything going for it in '26, people pissed with Microsoft, Apple still not doing anything in the space, no one cares about CoD any more, and Valve have their computer coming out.
