Carcinization calls. Return to crab.

The summary on here says that, but the actual article says it was Meta's.

In one eyebrow-raising example, Meta's large language model Llama 3 told a user who identified themself to it as a former addict named Pedro to indulge in a little methamphetamine — an incredibly dangerous and addictive drug — to get through a grueling workweek.

Might have been different in a previous version of the article, then updated, but the summary here doesn't reflect the change? I dunno.

Dark has an amazing intro. So damn good.

It's also self-reinforcing, by making that the norm it then shapes future development and expectations. :-\

Asymmetric bandwidth is literally designed to ensure you remain a consumer and is actively inhibiting the collaborative, communal web utopia we were told was going to be the future.

Pete Ashdown's a badass. Big up XMission.

EVs are generally heavier, meaning more tire wear, so I'm skeptical that the reduction is all that meaningful. We need real public transit and density. Wish car manufacturers never bought up the streetcars and trolleys, they effectively killed public transit in the US pretty early on.

If the link was unique to the email, then it could be a signal to the phisher that is a valid address for further targeting.

Waymo’s top-of-range LiDAR cost about $7,500... Insiders say those costs have fallen further thanks to continuous advances by the team. And considering that this short-range LiDAR is cheaper than the top-of-range product, the price is likely under $5,000 a unit.

This article is six years old, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're even cheaper now.

You're mischaracterizing their point. Nobody is saying take the exact piece of equipment, put it in the vehicle and PRESTO. That'd be like asking why the vacuum battery can't power the car. Because duh.

The point is if such a novelty, inconsequential item that doesn't have any kind of life safety requirements can employ a class of technology that would prevent adverse effects, why the fuck doesn't the vehicle? This is a design flaw of Teslas, pure and simple.

Which electric car manufacturer doesn't have a dogshit privacy policy? Last report I saw they were all garbage.

 

Finally looking to build a new rig after about 7 years on my current machine. Will largely be used for gaming in Linux, although I may wind up throwing in a second drive for dual booting to Windows for games that don't work well on Proton/Wine. Also using it as a home theater box for streaming content.

It's been a minute since I've looked into the hardware scene, and while going Nvidia is tempting for the DLSS and ray tracing, at this point I feel like I'd rather give AMD my money simply on principle.

 

Everything that I've been reading says that it's only doable with DisplayPort.
