McDonald’s Gives Up On ‘AI’ After Comedy Of Errors, Including Putting Bacon On Ice Cream ( www.techdirt.com )

LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum...

I think we are about to experience a true Butlerian Jihad. Not because of the fearsome power of AI, but because of the hatred of shitty LLMs.

Great! Now I know who to contact when I accidentally delete all the plaintext API keys and passwords I had stored in a public github repo.

Oh boy, Lemmy really doesn't get sarcasm without the "/s", huh?

Managed to reach a rank of 2450 in World of Warcraft 2v2 arena. It took an incredible amount of much time and effort, and I have accepted that I will never be as good at anything ever again.

Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough ( www.xda-developers.com )

There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that...

Every time I compare specs to prices on Apples website, I get irrationally angry.

I really like the idea of Nebula, but the way they market themselves as "creator owned" without being an actual workers cooperative seems deceitful (still much better than YouTube, though!)

Combine the two and we've got a proper Matrix situation on our hands

He'll do it on truth social.

Private companies should not be able to do whatever the fuck they like. They have a very important responsibility, and they will not consider ethics over profit, unless we as a society force them to.

The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).

Samme her! Hold kæft hvor er det et godt spil. Jeg har sunket mange hundrede timer i det første spil, og indtil videre lever 2'eren op til alle mine forventninger. SuperGiant kan seriøst noget helt særligt.

About to finish the last third of The Republic of Thieves. What a trilogy!

Made the switch to Pop!_OS from Win10 half a year ago, and my machine's been purring like a happy cat ever since. All my games still run (thanks, Proton!) and some even had a significant performance boost (RDR2 being the best example) with a 3090. Only problem I had was getting DaVinci Resolve to work properly, but I caved and bought the Studio version which runs perfectly.

Muffi ,

It had to do with encoding which works out-of-the-box in the Studio version, and not at all in the free version on Linux. I could've solved it by using something like Handbrake, but I didn't want to add the extra step to my workflow. I also bought my Blackmagic 6K second-hand, so I've been wanting to properly pay them for their awesome products for a while now anyway.

Funny thing is, Republicans are actually blaming capitalism, they just call it 'the globalists' because they are like children, and need evil to be personified for them to comprehend it.

Muffi ,

I think you're 100% correct in assuming they've already fed it data scraped from SO. I've previously gotten code samples from ChatGPT that was clearly from SO down to the comments in the code. Even reverse searched some of the code and found the question it was from.

I've been playing the Hades 2 beta recently, and I keep thinking about how incredible it is that this game is already better than any AAA title I've played in the last like 8 years. And it's still in beta and made by just 23 people. Call of Duty, FIFA and the like will keep the big studios running for a while, but indie has definitely overtaken the industry and I'm all for it.

Muffi ,

It's really, really good! Tougher than the first game, but that's a welcome change. After about ~10 hours of gameplay, I already feel like it's the best sequel I've played.

Muffi ,

I've made a couple of games in Godot over the last year, and watched this video yesterday. It's a really, really good intro to the software. So much covered in just an hour, with a good balance between doing things the easy way, and doing things the correct way. That's often a hard balance to achieve in gamedev/programming tutorials.

Muffi ,

Switched to Antennapod when abandoning Spotify recently. It's been great! Way better interface than Spotify's embarrassingly horrible UI.

Muffi ,

I think that's the entire point of this exercise. Thinking about what making the world better would actually mean and entail.

Muffi ,

I've printed usable pieces on my Prusa Mini with the highest detail settings. Far from perfect, but definitely usable.

If you haven't heard of it before, LeoCAD is pretty cool for modelling with LEGO.
