1 of the 👍 points that were brought up was artificial gatekeeping. Many techies know it but I guess many non-techies don’t know it. Phone makers intentionally not putting the newest features on old phones to boost the newest phones’ sales should be widely known. I wonder what the public opinion will be.

I like that the writer thought re climate change. I think it’s been 1 of the biggest global issues for a long time. I hope there’ll be increasing use of sustainable energy for not just data centers but the whole tech world in the coming years.

I think a digital waiter doesn’t need a rendered human face. We have food ordering kiosks. Those aren’t ai. I think those suffice. A self-checkout grocer kiosk doesn’t need a face too.

I think “client help” is where ai can at least aid. Imagine a firm who’s been operating for decades and encountered so many kinds of client complaints. It can feed all those data to a large language model. With that model responding to most of the client complaints, the firm can reduce the number of their client support people. The model will pass complaints that are very complex or that it doesn’t know how to address to the client support people.

Idk whether the government or the public should stop ai from taking human jobs or let it. I’m torn. Optimistically, workers can find new jobs. But we should imagine that at least 1 human will be laid off and can’t find a new job. He’ll be jobless for months. He’ll have an epic headache as he can’t pay next month’s bills.

I’m doubtful. I wanna hear more from security experts.

I open my vid in Vlc player then use the Windows live caption feature.

Live captions is usefuuuuul.

I’ve liked Windows 11. Hope they don’t degrade it by putting many unneeded ai tools in it.

What do you mean? When I lurk here, I ignore the sites that Idk. I rely on sites that I know are legit like Verge, Techcrunch, Engadget, Cnbc, Bloomberg, Ars Technica and Electrek. The sites that Idk may be legit too but I don’t wanna spend much time researching the legitimacy.

The 3-nanometer thing was classic anticompetitive behavior right? Will the European union or the American government investigate Apple?

Tsmc surely is in a class of its own. The other cpu makers are lagging.

I’m awaiting the M4 Macbook air. I wanna see the performance comparison between it and a Windows 💻 with a 2024 Intel cpu.

Found your comment by searching dune 2 in this community.

Dune 1 and 2 were just OK for me. I don’t have many negative things to say re the 2 flicks. Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea.

I <3 the audio for the Voice.

I appreciate Villeneuve. Aside from Dune 1 and 2, I viewed Sicario, Arrival and Blade runner 2049. None of those is a masterpiece for me, but Blade runner 2049 is his best.

Huge blow to Huawei, which is a firm I dislike.

It seems they can’t buy x86-architecture processors from Intel and Amd. How can they make x86 💻?

If Windows arm will succeed in the far future (this is a big if for me), I wonder if Huawei can buy Mediatek chips for Windows arm 💻. I did a quick search. It seems Mediatek wanna design arm chips for 💻.

A Reuters article said Qualcomm licensed their 5g tech to Huawei. I guess not being able to buy from Qualcomm isn’t a big issue for Huawei. Huawei has their own 5g tech.

I googled. I read that Youtube took down Vanced. True? Can Youtube use the way they took down Vanced for Revanced?

I googled. Isn’t it 45% Youtube and 55% vid producer?

Yes, paper bills if you’re so private. To avoid spyware, use a phone that has a removable 🔋, like the Fairphone 5. Connect the 🔋 only when you must use the phone.

In my nation, Apple pay and Google pay aren’t famous. The famous way to pay with a phone is using a qr code. It’s frictionless too. Paper bills are still famous here too. I think my spending behavior is the same whether I use paper bills, my phone or my debit card. Re using my phone or my debit card to pay, I <3 not having to deal with change.

There’ll probably be no more diskette makers in the future, so the train operator should stop using diskettes. I did a quick googling.

In January 2024, Japan announced it will no longer require floppy-disk copies of government submissions.

I did a quick search on amazon.com too. You can buy diskettes there.

I’m assuming the folks doing the upgrade know what they’re doing. Train operation is key, so to be sure, they may need to slowly move away from diskettes and slowly integrate ssds or whatever the replacement will be.

I encountered many New York times articles behind a paywall. I was :o that this wasn’t behind a paywall for me.

I use archive.md for paywalls.

I hope the New York times doesn’t sell user data. If it does, public rage can move it from being 1 of the top news sites to the bottom.

It beat Claude 3 on math and reasoning when analyzing images.

What beat Claude 3?

No free version of Opus, so I can’t try it.

It’s 👍 that the ai competition is sizzling.

Applications such as Chatgpt and DALL-E have captured the world’s imagination, but ai companies are focused on something else.

This can be improved. the author’s point is that 3 of the things that the tech world is focused on now are –

1. more chips for ai
2. develop own chip to decrease reliance on Nvidia
3. higher demand for electricity due to the ai boom

But the tech world is focused on making better ai chatbots and pic generators too.

Anyway, 👍 article. I learned that Nvidia is the backbone of the ai boom.

Chip components have been getting tinier. I hope ways to work with or around the quantum behaviors will be discovered.

I hope there’ll be more research re higher-output (megawatt) renewable energy plants and cheaper renewable energy.
