I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
I’d say the ideal situation is that tools are developed library first, then cli or gui as preferred allowing others to pick up the slack and make the other tool (or tools) using the functions in the library.
One of the reasons automation is so much easier on linux than windows is because there are many more cli tools to do things. On windows many tools are gui first and cannot easily be automated.
Yep. I also valid concerns. But those seem to be their next steps. I just wondered if there would be degradation. You wouldn’t even be able to tell until it reached the destination.
Definitely interesting stuff.
I think my question on all this would be whether this would ultimately cause problems in terms of data integrity.
Currently most amplifiers for digital information are going to capture the information in the light, probably strip off any modulation to get to the raw data. Then re-modulate that using a new emitter.
The advantages of doing this over just amplifying the original light signal are the same reason switches/routers are store and forward (or at least decode to binary and re-modulate). When you decode the data from the modulated signal and then reproduce it, you are removing any noise that was present and reproducing a clean signal again.
If you just amplify light (or electrical) signals “as-is”, then you generally add noise every time you do this reducing the SNR a small amount. After enough times the signal will become non-recoverable.
So I guess my question is, does the process also have the same issue of an ultimate limit in how often you can re-transmit the signal without degradation.
This is the world most of us want to live in I would think.
He is not the one to deliver it. He doesn’t really want that. If he did, he wouldn’t want $1t let alone fight to get it. Let alone all the other vile shit he has done, and will do.
It’s a real shame because Readarr did work and they really just needed to fix their own metadata servers. No? Or were there other problems I’m not aware of?
Yeah, no prices. I move on. Same with job ads, no salary no application. If I get an intrusive ad, I’m not buying that product, I’ll deliberately seek out another brand in fact.
Is that a weird attitude to have? I thought it just made sense. We shouldn’t be rewarding this BS.
I’m wondering what combination of features would use 25w on a phone. On flagship models the battery would last less than an hour at that consumption (and might even melt :P).
Your point still stands by the way, sensors take next to nothing in terms of power. I guess the point of the article is perhaps the processing of the signals is more efficient with this hybrid chip? Again though in real terms it’s a nothing-burger in terms of power consumption.
Well, they were quite literally compiling all the worst behaviours of modern subscription services and applying it to the medical field. I guess the sad thing is that it could really happen one day.
I would say each of the things that they applied has happened on a service somewhere before (just perhaps not all on a single one). It’s fiction uncomfortably close to reality.
Incoming Spotify premium plus subscription tier. With lossless audio. And then shortly after some previously premium tier features to go plus. Then ads appear on the premium, I mean basic tier (priced at the old premium price).
Well, legally there’s no reason to comply. At the same time I personally have no skin in the game and deleting the account locally won’t do much (unless you purge their content too).
So, here’s what I would do. I would comply (you should be able to delete the local instance of that account). But I’d also reply pointing out that it’s a mirror of the real account hosted at lea.pet and their real beef is with them, and should that user interact with or generate content pushed to you, the local copy would be re-created.
Keep a copy of the email you send (because it’s highly likely a human doesn’t monitor that mailbox) and then move on with your life. If a real person then wants to complain you can just forward the email you sent and tell them the same still applies.
It’s automated and the email indicates as such.
Yes. But one less thing it can do.
I’m sure I’ve said all this before. But still. LLMS are very useful tools I don’t doubt that. The problem that no organisation that is “embracing” AI is really considering is how they work.
They essentially rewrite code or art or content they have seen before. If they replace developers, artists and authors/article writers wholesale the only source of new content will be, other AI.
It’s been known from the start that AI feeding on AI very quickly degenerates today garbage in garbage out.
They are also (currently) unable to innovate. So use of AI is going to stifle innovation or even completely kill it.
These are the medium to longer term problems that might only be really realised when the developers, artists and authors have moved onto other work and a lot might just not want to come back.
That’s my main problem with the wholesale use of AI. Used as a tool to complement people doing their job, makes sense and is possible to maintain going forward.
I’m going to argue that it’s a little of both. While I doubt Ofcom have much chance being able to actually recover money through legal channels because of US constitutional amendments, they must have thought about this and the next step is likely to be an even more draconian “great firewall of britain” moment. Which of course will likely be equally as trivial to bypass as the age verification so…
Won’t protect you from a steam game, that runs in XWayland, which allows global hotkeys (and effectively I guess key monitoring). But yes, overall it’s a nice security feature.
They’re out there and not so hidden. If you look, you’ll find them. There’s definitely an iptv community out there.
This story seems a bit weird to me. A lot of iptv operators don’t sell directly to people, rather wholesale to dealers.
So I bet they got a dealer here is all.
In a lot of places, fast Internet is ubiquitous and cheap.
Yeah there’s going to be a few places that will be problematic. But most can get access to fast Internet now I think.
Also for non gaming the data requirement isn’t so much.
I’m not talking about short term. It’s a medium to longer term thing. But it will start to become commonplace soon I reckon.
I’m also convinced that we’ll be herded ever more toward cloud computing. That is, we’ll all have our “desktop” on the cloud and thin clients to access it.
Don’t get me started on the dystopia I see coming from that.
In terms of the radio rules. The radio has always had its own firmware on android phones. The rules could be implemented using hardware fuses and restrictions on signed firmware updates for those specific systems.
That is they make the “single model for the world” as is generally economically the best option in many cases. And before shipping to distributors it’s stamped with the region and the fuses for that region are blown. Now it doesn’t mean it cannot be used elsewhere. But it means that it will follow all rules for the certification stamped on the device.
That would mean that any firmware for the main operating system cannot command it to do anything outside of the limits defined by those rules. So it’s not really a technical reason not to allow custom bootloaders.
But of course, probably the manufacturers generally don’t want you to be able to remove their firmware that is often filled with sponsored required app installs. So this is a convenient way to pretend their hands are tied.
That’s some high grade bullshit. There is going to be a subset of people (and I’d argue it’s a growing number) that want to support local businesses and so yes it’s misleading to all those people.
But more than that. A corporate/franchise brand has such a huge value they will sue you if you use it without permission. So if they’re choosing not to use a brand they paid good money to use, it can only be because they want to deceive.
