Fair, I definitely haven’t simped for them in the past just because they post some good articles on AI safety.

Although… I’ll say of them, they seem more like what OpenAI should be, actually trying to implement AI responsibly, and freely sharing that information. It’s good research, even if marketing is the motivation. Meanwhile OpenAI, the “charity” that’s supposed to guide us to a responsible AI future, moved their most addictive and mentally dangerous model to the highest paid tier instead of actually killing it until very recently.

Although at the end of the day, Anthropic is a for-profit company, in a better world they wouldn’t have released models publicly before this research was actually done and pressing dangers like AI psychosis were actually safeguarded against. Better late than never, sure, but the whole industry has done a lot of damage already, and the work of resolving the issues still isn’t even close to done.

I mean… this is losing them a 200 million dollar contract. And to one of their competitors who will gladly acquiesce, so it’s hard to argue that this benefits them.

Good marketing to a bunch of left-wing people who hate AI, I guess, but that feels like Elon joining the Trump administration in hopes of selling Teslas to rednecks, it might work on a few, but I just can’t imagine this is 4D chess that will make them a fortune when they’re abandoning that much money immediately.

Their statement also came after the DOW threatened to put them on the list of companies that are totally banned from doing any business in America, usually reserved for Chinese companies that are deemed a national security threat, which would make it illegal for any company doing business in America to do any business with them, as they’d be added to the same list, which would have essentially killed Anthropic as a business entirely.

You don’t have to love Anthropic because they did a good thing, they were fine with anything less than automatic killing and mass surveillance, after all, but I don’t think it’s correct to say this was sneaky and spineless somehow.

Yuuup, smashed a controller or two in my time, and quickly learned that I don’t like when my stuff breaks, and have to master my emotions better/find better ways to vent, and then I did. Wild to watch full grown adults who never learned the same, and are just… wasting money replacing things, I guess.

Not a huge user of screensharing, but it does come up, and I’d probably miss it if I lost it. Here’s a few recent examples:

• Playing a 1v1 PVP game, such as Elden Ring or Armoured Core, taking turns with 3 players, it’s nice to be able to share POVs so that the waiting player can watch.
• Setting up for a TTRPG, it was nice to share the online character builder to more easily ask for advice on something like “which move should I take?”.
• Playing Valheim, we all died except 1, and he shared his screen so we could guide him to our bodies with the materials to build a portal for us to get back easily.

I’m certainly not sharing my screen all the time, but it comes up fairly often that something happens that you want to show the group when they can’t just look at it with you in-game. It all depends on what kinds of games you’re playing and how large a group you’re playing with.

Does “liberate” actually imply theft in a way I’m missing? I assumed that meant he bought the chicken when I first read it, but nobody in these comments seems to think that.

Up north person here, no carpets in my house (they’re often considered old-fashioned here nowadays), but dang if road salt isn’t a scourge upon interiors. We have a mat in our entrance, and leave our shoes on a tray to contain the salt and mud, and even living in an apartment where I walk in interiors for a bit before entering our home, there’s frequently enough salt to buildup and stain our floors white.

The salt is absolutely necessary to melt the ice outside, but we have to mop our entrance multiple times a week, it’s 100% the primary reason Canadians are shoes-off, I’d assume the northern states are the same.

Yeah, most people aren’t within 6 feet of their TV, and most people aren’t buying 100" TVs either. 8K is relevant for virtually nobody.

A lot of companies are successfully working on larger panels (I saw something about a 165" TV recently), so 8K may have a good place in a theatre room one day, but that still leaves you a lot of problems to solve first, and is far from mainstream until all of that becomes a lot cheaper.

Well… duh. The guy runs a competing storefront who’s only claims to fame are:

1. Spending a bunch of money for timed exclusivity and free giveaways, rather than building out core features.
2. They give devs a better cut than Steam to claim moral high ground.

… that’s it, that’s all the reasons to use Epic, unless you want to play Fortnite or participate in an Early Access period where they chose Epic to reduce the overwhelming amount of feedback like Hades.

Not an unreasonable suggestion, the list of Mac compatible emulators is really impressive. Pretty much everything supports M1 Macs, even cutting edge emulators like ShadPS4 and Ryubing (PS4 + Switch emulators)

Yeah… I’m unsure how they thought this was a platform-wide ban when it includes terms like “meme” and “greentext”. I don’t even need to look at any more than this one line of code to intuit this does something more specific than OP thought.

Yeah, I’m starting to think this is the heart of the cycle. When things are good, people stop worrying about the details and trust their governments to keep things as is, it’s only when things stop working that the average person starts paying attention and advocating for themselves, and history is forgotten until it repeats itself.

Exactly, actually, I’d say I agree. As much as we’re clearly in a bad state, I’d say for how late we are into this cycle, we’re still better off than in a dictatorship or the ways other systems unravel. I don’t think any political system can be incorruptible, so long as humans are involved (as they absolutely should be), and this isn’t the worst state imaginable.

As a friend often says, “democracy isn’t perfect, but it’s the best thing we’ve got so far”, and I think the same goes for regulated capitalism, with working anti-trust and taxation.

Generally agreed. Unregulated Capitalism is the real issue here, we used to have, like… within the lifetime of people we know, very regulated capitalism and a market that really worked for us, the average person was rapidly getting richer and we had real quality of life.

That said, a part of me admittedly thinks this may be inevitable though, because once capitalism is unregulated briefly, all hell breaks loose. Once any company has a monopoly and true market dominance, the only way to continue making line go up is to change the rules of the game by lobbying, and once money enters your government and corrupts its ability to regulate, the train never stops.

I suspect it keeps getting worse until things go violently wrong and the system resets. But even then, I think we as a society forget, and “try” deregulating capitalism again in a few hundred years, kicking off another cycle that ends in revolution.

No kidding, it’s intense. I like the channel well enough, and find they’ve handled their various scandals to my satisfaction, at least. And yes, it’s 100% more entertainment than deep technical content I’m gonna learn from, but whatever, guilty pleasures aren’t some horrible sin, and it’s a better use of my time than reality TV. Being such a large channel does also get them access to some really worthwhile stuff now and again, like major factory tours, or Linus Torvalds, and that is stuff that’s really worth my time.

All of that said, I assume there’s lots of people here like myself, but it just ain’t worth jumping out of the woodwork for the guy. I like him, but not nearly enough to cast myself against this much vitriol for his sake.

This is the coolest video they’ve done in ages, and Linus Torvalds seems like such an excellent, genuine guy. He gives really thoughtful answers to even some of the silly joke questions, and it’s great. I super appreciate his perspective, and he interviews excellently.

Dang, that’s incredibly cool. Hadn’t heard of this!

Very nice! Was looking at the exact same frames after doing some more research, a 10 inch frame for about as cheap as some empty frames I’ve seen, with documentation on the process provided by Immich Frame themselves.

Your private mesh network is an elegant addition to it as well, I may consider something similar. As mentioned in the post, Immich Frame doesn’t recommend being exposed to the Internet, and just has support for a simple single password system. I still feel better about that than being in Frameo’s database I know nothing about and would be paying suspiciously little for, but it’s not exactly ironclad either.

Definitely let me know how it goes if you tackle it in the next week or so!

Correct! This would be going out to family that doesn’t just live close enough to see her and take their own pictures, so being able to add more remotely is the whole point!

Somewhat? I used it on Windows pretty extensively, I’ll try to pitch what I liked about it.

Basically, it supports “plugins” that allow it to auto-import games from all kinds of places, such as Steam, GOG, Epic, and even more obscure options like itch.io, or local modded Minecraft instances. It could also auto-scan folders for ROMs, and could be configured to launch those games in an emulator. It also did its own playtime tracking locally, which worked for any of these launchers and options, which was great to have all in one UI.

It also had really cool options, like different “launch actions”, so you could setup commands to run a game modded or launch it vanilla, for example, which was excellent. Really it could be configured with any commands to run before and after starting/stopping any game you can think of.

Not to mention it had the best controller big picture UI on Windows, which I still kinda miss since switching to Bazzite and Steam Big Picture Mode. I was able to access everything I just described with just a controller, once it was configured. Giving it up was truly the hardest part of switching to Linux for me, it’s phenomenal software.

I’m not certain what it will look like on Linux, whether it’ll just integrate with Heroic to launch games through it, or try to reimplement those features. But it’s certainly worth watching, and I’ll definitely give it a look again once they bring their big picture mode to Linux. Quite exciting news for me!

Haha, I found myself thinking the same thing, and then caught myself, realizing all the other LLMs on this page had lowered the bar immensely for what I’m considering impressive.

This just makes me want to try to get it to hallucinate a Bible verse that doesn’t exist… but it’s not worth giving them the traffic to try.
