venture capital burned through all of the good “what if a computer could do <x>” business ideas by like 2009 and everything since has required increasingly degrading levels of suspended disbelief. silicon valley must move beyond computers

Are you trying to access ChatGPT through an API via a chat bot embedded in like Discord? This isn’t the web client or mobile app.

GPT 4o and 4.5 have the ability to search the web. I’m curious to know which model you’re running.

What accounts for phrasing like this?

If any other president in modern times had signed an executive order libelling a DC law firm as an enemy of the state, the headlines would be about how he’s a fucking lunatic, the courts were sure to slap him down, and his cabinet was reacting with horror.

Pretty sure it’s because they’re using custom SSDs based on tech acquired when they bought Anobit. Apparently it’s related to the memory signal processing die that they use to improve write durability.

Accidental Tech Podcast discusses it on this episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Has anyone tested the performance impact of DLSS 4 transformer models vs the CNN models on the 40 series? I’m interested to see if that increases the gap between the 50 and 40 series.

It feels like the 50 series is more tailored towards speeding up the expensive AI stuff.

DHS has terminated the memberships of everyone on its advisory committees.

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.

That review is "dead," person familiar says.

I thought the AMD keynote felt a little off. I don’t get why they didn’t announce RDNA4 and won’t provide details about it.

You can turn that stuff if you don’t want it. It’s completely up to you

Are you getting this from somewhere quoting MLiD? If so, you shouldn’t. I don’t get how people listen to him when he regularly spouts garbage.

Also, buying a graphics card isn’t like being on a sports team. You can switch whenever lol

Exactly. OP needs to double down. If they hit it off, sell the story to Hallmark and then finally be able to afford a place in SF 😭

Rip, missed the comment below. Dunning-Kruger is the exact term

I also think a lot of people have false confidence. People feel comfortable declaring things publicly without really understanding what they’re saying

Being positively adorable is definitely a marketable skill

Good old bogosort. Human processing core has very limited cache and prefers less complex code.

AirPlay isn’t just screen casting. It streams video feeds or lossless audio from apps that implement AirPlay, no need to share your whole screen.

I don’t see why they need to choose one protocol. It’s possible to implement both.

Is this a compliment about the nuggets or criticism of modern American door construction?

I’m kind of surprised a senior researcher would not know this and spin it into a conspiracy theory.

Like I get the hate on VPNs because the ads are misleading, but 😬

That’s true, but if you use the search function and it’s fed data from legitimate sources, it should be able to produce decently reliable results right?

I want to like this to generate visibility, but nobody on earth should like this

Are you on standard autopilot? I haven’t seen that on FSD in forever

At least we’re getting end to end highway by the end of the year with 12.6. Seems like they’re moving fast with one set of hardware and backporting it to HW3 periodically. If FSD 13 is faster and simpler as they claim, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t run on the older hardware.

I was looking at using that case with my 4080 but was scared about how the height tolerance with the 4080 FE.

Does the power connector fit comfortably, or are there tricks you needed to get it to fit, like a 90 degree angle connector cable?

Has there been any update on whether they’re bringing the new voice assistant voice to more cars? Would be cool to get it in the holiday update.

Would he return if asked? Sounds like it’d be a really messy situation

The motors use oil, but it’s a completely sealed system that doesn’t deteriorate quickly. You just don’t have to change it because the components have very long lifespans. Here’s a Tesla service manual showing the car uses oil.
