Sure, if you have hardware and/or time to generate it client side. I’m just saying that if you run a web service and decide to charge for it, that’s better than most of the alternative monetization strategies.

7900xt user here on Ubuntu lts: what worked for me was finding some Valve engineer’s ppa that has mesa drivers with modern chip support. I was honestly pretty pissed at how much work it was to get my gpu working in Linux after hearing so much about how good it has gotten. My experience was basically the same as ten years ago: a pain in the ass.

I will say it’s working great now though.

Compute costs money, it’s more ethical to charge your users than it is to throw shady ads at them which link to malware.

Apple silicon has a pretty decent on-board ML subsystem, you can get LLMs to output a respectable number of tokens per second off of it if you have the memory for them. I’m honesty shocked that they haven’t built a little LLM to power Siri

Your computer always has been limited by the intentions of the system designer. It’s not malice, it’s market-fit and optimization.

Look at those x3d variants that amd has been putting out. Fantastic for gamers, but relatively niche for general computing tasks. If I were an OEM, would I pick those parts for my workstation prebuilts? Fuck no, they’re overpriced for someone using office and a web browser. But for my gaming line, maybe, if I could get a deal.

All computers have many of these price/performance/size/power draw/availability decisions to make, and portables even more so. Apple knows that most of their users need xyz, and they build for that. Everyone else’s needs go into the pile of lower priority, some of which will be supported if they feel like it.

There are only 3 good Star Wars movies, and I’m tired of pretending that there are more: A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Rogue One.

Not OP, but I would like to state that I am ok with that. You pulled a human out of the loop, and that comes with risks. Business decision.

This is the most plausible and simultaneously worst possible answer to that bit.

I assume that living in constant, irrational fear that the government is out to get you and anyone who isn’t exactly like you threatens your existence causes stress, which ages you prematurely.

Risotto is easy but you do need to add liquid and keep it stirring for pretty much the whole cook time

Orion supports Firefox and chrome extensions

I haven’t worked somewhere that really requires a desktop office suite in like 15 years. Almost everyone seems to get by with browser based tools. The big exception being finance and their excel monstrosities.

I’ve created this innovative new technology: it’s called a survey.

That usage data is neat! Also really fucking creepy. I hate that we’ve normalized just whole-hog spying on people.

REWIND

Copilot uses codex, it’s another OpenAI model but you can generally consider chatgpt to be a superset of that

The rule is in place so that they have a leg to stand on for letting people go with cause. When good workers don’t show up, they might get a performance improvement plan, but their managers will find a way to not enforce it. When the rest of the workforce doesn’t show up, those folks will be let go.

Hrrrng admiral, I’m trying to sneak around but I’m dummy thicc and the warp signature from my nacelles keeps alerting the Romulans
