I am honestly shocked that someone at FB would post critiques about their board members in their internal forums.

Surely they should be smart enough to understand that:

1. Senior management doesn't give a fuck what they think.
2. The internal forums aren't actually for feedback. It's an HR management tool.

That being said, if the posters are young, then it is somewhat understandable.

Headline should have included that this for the iSeq 100.

I am surprised that such devices are not air-gapped.

I had firmware updates for a 1080 Philips TV from ~2010.

You could do it via USB.

Not only that, but they tend to adopt the new tech on their terms and reject the mainstream adoption approach.

You really start to feel old when the cyberpunk novels of the 80s and 90s start to become reality (not in a literal sense, but elements are definitely coming true). It was 40 years since Neuromancer was released last year.

Big Macs, M4 Macbooks and AI Slop about the danger of woke to human civilization.

Fair point.

I generally avoid YT on any serious topics unless the video medium is used in a way that contributes to the discussion (e.g. a debate, interview, guest hosts, use of slides/charts/videos).

Is this spam for a clickbait YT channel or is this for real?

Unless this was generated via LLM, seems like a lot of effort for clickbait spam.

I didn't think of it in this way, but it does sound very convincing.

Meta would love to essentially make fake virtual influencers to get all their money and have more control.

LTT content.

I will add that it gets downvoted on reddit a lot too.

One thing that I do like about Lemmy is even the Apple community is somewhat critical. While this particular case seems to be more of an exception, you'll get massively downvotes if you critique the standard PR narrative that "Apple cares about digital privacy" or point out how Apple removed content critical of China and AI tech from their streaming service.

Nice one! It's honestly too bad they didn't actually call it Putastation or Putabox! Putabox would have been even better IMO. That would have been so hilarious!

To be fair, a bubble is more of an economic thing and not necessarily tied to product/service features.

LLMs clearly have utility, but is it enough to turn them into a profitable business line?

First time I heard about Hola. Read an article about them. They claimed that:

Hola CEO, Avi Cohen, said: "Hola offers a valuable free service to its users, and our community agrees, consistently rating it higher than any other VPN service. The health of the Internet and the safety of its users are top priorities for Hola."

Avi Cohen is liar and scoundrel.

But Tor is explicitly designed for this sort of thing and does not have a paid access system.

Nowhere on Big Mama VPN's landing page does it say that by using their service you open your network to access by randoms.

Big Mama is made up of two parts: There’s the free VPN app, which is available on the Google Play store for Android devices and has been downloaded more than 1 million times. Then there’s the Big Mama Proxy Network, which allows people (among other options) to buy shared access to “real” 4G and home Wi-Fi IP addresses for as little as 40 cents for 24 hours.

I am surprised this is legal. I have zero knowledge of the nuances of law, but there is no situation where allowing a completely random 3rd party to use your IP/network on an on-demand basis is legitimate. This is not a "grey area" (in the real sense, not in the judicial sense).

Yeah, this is not even really targeting clickbait, more like putting restrictions on openly malicious content.

Just goes to show that russians have had (until recently) relatively easy access to independent information within a few clicks on their smartphones.

I will also note that many reliable news organizations (BBC, DW) started their russian language YT news programs as far back as 2010. This is also true for well regarded local independent news (TV Dozdh).

Haha. I believe the AMD Instinct / Nvidia Datacentre GPUs aren't that great for gaming.

Assuming a large decline in demand for AI compute, what would be the use cases for renting out older AI compute hardware on the cloud? Where would the demand come from? Prices would also go down with a decrease in demand.

I wonder what the process was for choosing specifically 10%. Why not 8.7%? Or 13.9%? Surely an efficiency drive would have some sort of structured/analytical approach to it?
