I mean it could be but it's important that we don't assume that. I mean I'm just dumb.

Main issue is Gemini traditionally uses it's training data and the version answering your search is summarising search results, which can vary in quality and since it's just a predictive text tree it can't really fact check.

Since it was the chip from the Nintendo switch that was used for the original Nvidia Shield I wonder if what the switch to we'll see a revision?

Probably just wishful thinking, it seems like Nvidia's core strategy isn't the consumer market anymore.

  • Connected cars’ illegal data collection and use now on FTC’s “radar” ( arstechnica.com )

    The Federal Trade Commission's Office of Technology has issued a warning to automakers that sell connected cars. Companies that offer such products "do not have the free license to monetize people’s information beyond purposes needed to provide their requested product or service," it wrote in a blog post on Tuesday.

    In the past I would have been dismissive however the FTC seems to have been very active with enforcing consumer protections as of late so I remain hopeful.

    I've been enjoying these Skyr frozen yogurt pops that have only 90 calories and 7g of sugar but they're still about a dollar each which I feel is a little expensive.

    You have mecurious now if I could do the same thing with my own skyr and xanthum gum... I might have to do some experimenting.

    RISC-5 is a CPU architecture like x86 (AMD and Intel) or ARM (Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, Google).

    It's main differences are that it is an open architecture. It is still early in it's life cycle but it's already showing promising advancement.

    I'm not as well educated on this part of it but I remember reading that it is more efficient for a certain types of common calculations that have long since been an issue for x86. As noted though citation needed.

    So despite climate change, Australia's federal government has just committed an extra $3.25 billion into building a toll road and a 20-lane freeway widening.

    For those who wonder why Aussies think toll roads are a scam (https://aus.social/@[email protected]/112405373613706682), here's a great example of why.

    "Pouring an extra $3.25 billion worth of federal funds into Melbourne’s North East Link is a good use of taxpayer money, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has insisted, despite the project’s cost doubling just a few months ago.

    ...

    "The North East Link – which includes 6½ kilometres of tunnels – will stretch from Bulleen to Greensborough. It will widen the Eastern Freeway by up to 20 lanes.

    "Allan revealed in December that the 10-kilometre toll road had more than doubled in cost since it was first announced.

    "The toll road was initially budgeted at $10 billion and reassessed in 2019 at $15 billion. But the government revealed last year that the updated cost estimate was $26 billion."

    No surprise, Australia's government has been outright climate hostile.

    I don't think it's fair to lay current economic landscape squarely at Trudeau's feet.

    Everywhere is poorer, corporations have been taking an unfair share for a long time and it is only ramped up in recent years. The United States is in a similar spot

    It's definitely true that we're lagging behind other G7 nations and I don't think our leadership is blameless just definitely not the only blame.

    I'm skeptical we'd be in a better spot under different leadership but with climate change, war and late stage capitalism in full swing I won't hold my breath.

    Sorry for the depressing comment!

    I think our housing markets biggest problem is twofold outdated zoning laws that only allow for single-family homes to be built and carcentric infrastructure that requires huge roads and parking spaces that require enormous amounts of public funds to maintain.

    That was really strange for me because ranked choice voting would almost guarantee the NDP a lot more votes and power than it currently has.

    I'm a bit of a loop here, I tried to look them up and I mostly got some corporate BS about them rebranding. When you have time are you able to enlighten me?

    The reasons I listed I believe are a big reason that it is so expensive. You can't find a solution without first correctly identifying the problem.

    Shell sold millions of carbon credits for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that never happened, allowing the company to turn a profit on its fledgling carbon capture and storage project, according to a new report by Greenpeace Canada....

    Not surprising they've been social marketing with corporate accounts and purchased accounts for years because the know it's effective.

    This is just the natural evolution of that.

    My favorite is when they purposely sabotage public transportation and then make that the case study for why it never works

    I think it's also important to recognize that a lot of the forums and that gain traction on the internet are us-centric, actually with the fediverse one thing I've noticed is that while still definitely us centric I'm noticing a lot more international focused posts
