I'd argue there is a lot of potential in any domain with basic numeracy. In pretty much any business or institution somebody with a spreadsheet might help a lot. That doesn't necessarily require any Big Data or AI though.
It's not trivial though. They also managed to lock dev with CUDA.
That being said I don't think they were "just" lucky, I think they built their luck through practices the DoJ is currently investigating for potential abuse of monopoly.
Right, it did have an AI winter few decades ago. It's indeed here to stay, it doesn't many any of the current company marketing it right now will though.
AI as a research field will stay, everything else maybe not.
Interesting, I did try a bit of remote rendering on Blender (just to learn how to use via CLI) so that makes me wonder who is indeed scrapping the bottom of the barrel of "old" hardware and what they are using for. Maybe somebody is renting old GPUs for render farms, maybe other tasks, any pointer of such a trend?
No offense but that's what the article is also highlighting, naming that students, even the good, believe they did learn. Once it's time to pass a test designed to evaluate if they actually did, it's not that positive.
Yes yet there is indeed a deeper point. If the AI is to be used as a teaching tool it still has to give genuinely useful advice. No good sounding advice that might actually still be wrong. LLMs can feed wrong final answers but they can also make poor suggestions on the process itself too. So there are both problematic, how the tool is used but also its intrinsic limitations.
So... they are a non-profit (as they initially were) or a public research lab then. That would perfectly fine to say the path that they chose and so happen to make them unbelievably rich, is not viable.
They don't have a business if they can't legally make profit, it's not that hard. I'm sure people who are pursing superhuman intelligence can figure out that much, if not they can ask their "AI" some help to understand.
I have 5 Pine64 devices and they absolutely are more tinkerers. That being said I do use 2 on a daily basis (PineTab2 and PineWatch, even though now moved to Watchy) so they can be reliable. The PineNote though is bulky compared to the reMarkable (I have 1 and 2). I also (sadly for now) didn't bother with Linux (yet) on the PineNote and only used the stock Android that it came with. It works quite well though and one can still tinker with it.
So... yes if it's "just" to use I'd suggest reMarkable and if it's to tinker and not travel much, PineNote.
there isn’t a single serious project written exclusively or mostly by an LLM? There isn’t a single library or remotely original application
IMHO "original" here is the key. Finding yet another clone of a Web framework ported from one language to another in order to push online a basic CMS slightly faster, I can imagine this. In fact I even bet that LLM, because they manipulate words in languages and that code can be safely (even thought not cheaply) tested within containers, could be an interesting solution for that.
... but that is NOT really creating value for anyone, unless that person is technically very savvy and thus able to leverage why a framework in a language over another creates new opportunities (say safety, performances, etc). So... for somebody who is not that savvy, "just" relying on the numerous existing already existing open-source providing exactly the value they expect, there is no incentive to re-invent.
For anything that is genuinely original, i.e something that is not a port to another architecture, a translation to another language, a slight optimization, but rather something that need just a bit of reasoning and evaluating against the value created, I'm very skeptical, even less so while pouring less resources EVEN with a radical drop in costs.
What's the market here? People don't pay for browsers and the way it's monetized is via ads... which is problematic in the EU thanks to GDPR. So here this would mean a free browser without being able to use ads.
I personally do want it, and would pay for it, but I'm rather convinced the other 450 millions (which clearly don't all have iPhones) are not.
Actually no... well for zsh I don't know but for bash at least if you start the command with a space it won't be added to history. So not every command, you still get to (conveniently IMHO) decide that too!
Financially speaking, yes, absolutely. It's "easy" and rather low risk. Yet... being on Lemmy I assume a lot of people reading this advice do care both about technology and privacy. Such funds often support, rationally, "winners" which right now would include e.g Meta, Microsoft, Google, etc. They could also include big banks with questionable practices, e.g HSBC, or "energy" company that basically stick to oil. This kind of companies might be at odd with what people want to support. I would thus suggest to check "how the sausage is made" by understanding which stocks are actually part of the fund.
That's not the real question though. The real question is rather are there any "real physical proof" that Jesus had literally anything special that is in itself being the "son of God" or anything related to religion.
Anybody (sadly) can be crucified, especially during a period where it is trendy. Anybody can walk through part of the desert. Anybody can organize a meal, give a speech, etc.
Even if it's done exceptionally well, that does not make it special in the sense of being the proof of anything religious. We all have friends with unique talents, and social media helped us discovered that there are so many more of those around the entire world, but nobody in their right mind would claim that because Eminem can sing words intelligibly faster than the vast majority of people he is the son of "God".
I also read a book about a decade ago (unfortunately didn't write down notes about it so can't find the name back) on the history of religion, from polytheism to monotheism, and it was quite interesting. If I remember correctly one way to interpret it was through the lens of religions maintaining themselves over time and space, which could include growing to a sufficient size in terms of devout adepts. The point being that veracity was not part of the equation.
Some men claim they don’t want to get germs on their penis
How does that make any sense? What... how... I just... ?! Do they believe one washes their hands BEFORE peeing? Well OK, let's imagine that, then then would have... cleaner hands so... less germs? Do they imagine that one "reverse wash" theirs hands before? Like... rubbing their hands on the floor itself THEN pee? It makes absolutely 0 sense. I don't get any of it.
Indeed I bought a Banana Pi BPI-F3 with SpacemiT K1 8 core RISC-V chip,4G RAM and 16G eMMC https://www.banana-pi.org/en/banana-pi-sbcs/175.html for €95.89 including delivery. The form factor is nice though and I do enjoy Framework mission and partnerships. Depends what people need it for, good to have more options than aren't "just" SBC/devboards. I won't buy one now but I'll definitely keep it in mind.
