Because that works so well with the pirate bay. And with Mastodon or Lemmy, just having access to any one of the instances would enough.

So, no commissions or patreon support if you are drawing fan art, got it.

And a really shitty one, price difference between those two for a manufacturer ordering things in massive quantity is barely anything. Sony saves $5 per console, users lose 20% of their storage.

Thorn.

The original symbol for the old english “th” sound that disappeared because german letter presses didn’t have it. Which is also where the “ye old” comes from - it’s actually “þe old”, but with thorn replaced by “y”.

A simple line of code that goes “if moisture < 0.25 then loaddone” of “water = weight * 0.43” isn’t AI, true.
But when you start stacking enough of them with the goal and results being “We could get a chef to check how the pizza is doing every few seconds and, and control all of the different temperatures of this oven until it’s perfectly done, but we have made a computer algorithm that manages to do that instead”, then it’s quite hard to argue it isn’t software that is “performing a task typically associated with human intelligence, such as … perception, and decision-making.”

Especially if that algorithm was (I have no idea if it was in this case btw) not done by just stacking those if clauses and testing stuff manually until it works, but by using machine learning to analyze a mountain of baking data to create a neural network that does it itself. Because at that point, it definitely is artificial intelligence - it’s not an artificial general intelligence, which many people think is the only type of “true AI”, but it is an AI.

If someone has those kinds of hours in a new game it’s a sign of having no life, but playtime starts stacking up real fast - just three hours a day gets you to 1000 total in a year, and MonHu World is already seven years old.
For me that game was Deep Rock Galactic, I played it for around 700 hours in the first year or so just by running a few missions each day.

It’s AI in the actual wide technological definition, not AI in the current marketing hype bubble way.

“Grey if it’s in England, gray if it’s in America.”

Same as tire vs tyre, center vs centre and so on.

X11.

One notable difference between X11 and W3C is the case of “Gray” and its variants. In HTML, “Gray” is specifically reserved for the 128 triplet (50% gray). However, in X11, “gray” was assigned to the 190 triplet (74.5%), which is close to W3C “Silver” at 192 (75.3%), and had “Light Gray” at 211 (83%) and “Dark Gray” at 169 (66%) counterparts. As a result, the combined CSS 3.0 color list that prevails on the web today produces “Dark Gray” as a significantly lighter tone than plain “Gray”, because “Dark Gray” was descended from X11 – for it did not exist in HTML nor CSS level 1 – while “Gray” was descended from HTML. Even in the current draft for CSS 4.0, dark gray continues to be a lighter shade than gray. Some browsers such as Netscape Navigator insisted on an “a” in any “Gray” except for “Light Grey”.

There’s an addon for that, Indie Wiki Buddy.
It tries to redirect you to non fandom/fextralife wikis if they exist, and if not, it proxies fandom wikis through BreezeWiki which just displays the content.

And I’ll take this opportunity to plug Hohser and the uBlock AI blocklist as well.

1. It thinks your connection comes from Virginia for some reason. Specifically, it thinks your public IP geomaps there. You can use https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to see where their database would pin it.
2. You can’t
3. They really shouldn’t. But the sites are asking for them because they are required, by law. The alternative is to block those connections, as PornHub decided to do.

Such laws now exist in Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

Bioware is (was) actually many studios in a trenchcoat - Bioware Edmonton (“old” Bioware, ME trilogy, Anthem), Bioware Austin (Sw:TOR, DA: I) and formerly Bioware Montreal (ME: Andromeda) and a bunch of other smaller teams.

Though almost all of the veterans have left, so it’s now kinda a Ship of Thesius type situation, Bioware only in name.

We passed 7 billion back in 2011, and have since gained 1.2 billion more.

Exponential growth goes brrrrr.

“Da, we have aggressive birds. Fly right through planes. Sideways through hull and explode. Very dangerous, only exist in Russia.”

LLMs have a perfect track record of doing exactly what they were designed to, take an input and create a plausible output that looks like it was written by a human. They just completely lack the part in the middle that properly understands what it gets as the input and makes sure the output is factually correct, because if it did have that then it wouldn’t be an LLM any more, it would be an AGI.
The “artificial” in AI does also stand for the meaning of “fake” - something that looks and feels like it is intelligent, but actually isn’t.

You can argue what you think the words should mean in your opinion in the field of artificial intelligence. I agree with some of them.

It just doesn’t change what they actually do mean.

They already did. AGI - artificial general intelligence.

The thing is, AGI and AI are different things. Like your “LLMs aren’t real AI” thing , large language models are a type of machine learning model, and machine learning is a field of study in artificial intelligence.
LLMs are AI. Search engines are AI. Recommendation algorithms are AI. Siri, Alexa, self driving cars, Midjourney, Elevenlabs, every single video game with computer players, they are all AI. Because the term “Artificial Intelligence” by itself is extremely loose, and includes the types of narrow AI all of those are.
Which then get hit by the AI Effect, and become “just another thing computers can do now”, and therefore, “not AI”.

BT latency depends so much on the exact model of headphone it’s almost impossible to give an accurate answer, other than “If it supports AptX LL, it’s going to be as good as gets.”
I personally can’t notice it while using Airpod Pro 2’s (around 125ms) with my Deck unless I’m playing an actual rhythm game. Then it completely messes me up and I switch to wired ones.

my gaming PC is currently outdated (970)

GTX 970 is faster than the GPU on the Deck, though…

What ever could go wrong with that?

Oh, right. Winamp very recently showed us exactly what could go wrong with that.

$5 billion, woah, that sure is a lot of dosh!
By stealing all the revenue of the Panama Canal for the US, Trump could fund the US military for… a whopping two days.
