@RobHoffman_ I’d rather get a chatgpt’d message than a garbled message not getting to the point. Also happy to have a chat or solve issues without waiting for a human.

@ericweinstein I’ve heard lightening that hurt it was so loud. Not the crackle but the bang 💥

@ordo_organum @maximumpain333 It’s like it’s an instruction for the morons watching “this is the funny bit so laugh”. I hate it too.

@BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire This man doesn't understand how some parts of the internet work, and if he really does, he's pretending it's going to be a lot easier than in reality.

@om_patel5 This is how we used to do video, raw frame data updating a canvas or video ram. Nothing new here. And even 320p @ 30FPS is still wasteful if no compression is used.

@PolitlcsUK Most of the phones that are stolen end up being shipped east, taken apart for parts, then resold. This wont stop thieves.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

No one has moved away from the command line. If you prefer the easy interface great, but there are many more people working on the CLI than ever before. Also, you can’t automate shit without using e CLI. The terminal is an integrated part of the Linux OS, no one moved away from that either.

@iamkylebalmer Clear that a lot of replies didn't watch the video. At 16 seconds in, your voice pitches down about 3 or 4 octaves making it impossible to understand you.

@BBCNews It will only mean less traffic, I predict more people over time will find the AI overview sufficient, and in some cases better.

This is demonstrating a misunderstanding in how LLMs work. They don't look at individual characters but text as chunks. When you press Gemini to check again, it uses a python method to count and returns the correct answer, that's the clever part. LLMs are a tool that you need to know how it use properly.

@davepl1968 @Govindtwtt Sadly, the AI results are usually far more relevant. Search results have been tanking for years, and who wants to trawl through an 8-page thread from a 2018 forum post to find everything you just read is no longer relevant.
