“When we have lots of data through body-sensing technology like PoseSonic, it can help us be more mindful of ourselves and our behaviors.”

I don't really understand what benefit he's proposing here. It'll stop me slouching or it'll help someone not stand too close to people? No idea.

It really is genuinely remarkable. If more people lived their lives like OP then the world would be a better place.

Haha, nice. I'm your 75th upvote there.

Yeah, I thought this story would have been posted under !nottheonion@lemmy.world

Er, Bing Chat is AI-assisted search, not analytics.

Environmentally or economically? Actually, which one you mean doesn't matter, cos it's not either way:

GPUs are a lot closer to AI processors (tensor cores and similar) than CPUs. Graphics processing is about doing lots of simple computations simultaneously, which is what AI does - lots and lots of matrix maths. CPUs are more general purpose but can't compete on raw speed because of this (and some of the hacks to try to get more speed are causing security problems).

Also, saying “take a deep breath” makes LLMs better at maths, and being polite seems to have mixed results (sometimes more verbose and descriptive, but less likely to follow instructions).

Agnosticism over protocols (maybe ActivityPub won’t be the only protocol we want to support in the future)

If that's simple to do, it's worth waiting for, but if it's trickier then I've learnt the importance of remembering YAGNI and KISS (and that database migration scripts aren't that hard). Of course, third party database queries aren't as simple to update but perhaps your API will be all implementers need.

If we can get under 16 columns, we can disable support for 32 columns in Diesel and save build time

This does seem worthwhile, just to speed up development cycles.

greebled

I had to look up what you meant - I know greebles as the invisible foes/prey that cats see.

Thaaaat's what it is from. I knew I knew it from somewhere, but was thinking it was maybe Andromeda or even another BSG reference.

The he's a puppet misunderstanding reminded me of a similar scene in The Big Lebowski.
