Bubs

Full res image:

These “AI” tools are not the future of research. Sure, sometimes they get lucky and solve a complex problem, but most of the time they spew out useless junk that no one needs.

When the AI bubble pops, all of these LLMs will die off. A few will remain here and there, but they will be a shadow of what they are now.

Machine learning is what will, and already has, change the medical research field. Specialized algorithms to process mountains of data that would take humans ages to do. Probably the only good thing to come out of this AI bubble is all the research and advancements poured into machine learning.

Pretty much.

The scene used to be a group of highly talented researchers, but now it is just a bunch of noobs using LLMs and writing hacks they don’t even understand. Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony.

I asked them to at least wait for GTA 6 to come out so that people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enjoy linux. They agreed to wait, but not a day passed and they decided to waste it instead."

Like any sort of jailbreak or homebrew, the dev relied on a bug in the PS5 code to install Linux. The script kiddies ruined it all by reporting the bug and presumably getting it patched out by Sony.

I don’t know the mechanics of how this project uses said bug, but I would assume the entire project is dead in the water for any new OS updates for the PS5. Unless someone finds a new bug to exploit, only people who didn’t update their PS5 can still install the Linux project.

They only linked to 3 “based memes,” one of which was deleted by mods for promoting vandalism (how ironic coming from Reddit).

Snap’s long-awaited AR glasses, Specs, didn’t have the best debut.

The company’s stock hasn’t been on the healthiest trajectory lately. It’s dropped 30% over the past year. Following Specs’ launch, it sank more than 5% — falling from $5.86 a share on Tuesday to a low of $4.83 on Wednesday morning. As of this writing, the stock still hasn’t recovered the position it held prior to the announcement.

The big concern surrounding Snap’s new smart glasses — which the company has been working on for over a decade — is the cost: The company maintains they will retail at nearly $2,200 apiece.

It’s worthy of note that Snap’s core user demographic — teenagers — are not typically equipped with that kind of pocket change, leading onlookers to question the profitability path for the new product.

Snap’s CEO, Evan Spiegel, did an interview with CNBC on Tuesday (during which he sported the new glasses) and, when questioned about the hefty price, responded: “The most important way to think of Specs is as a computer, and so they’re comparably priced to other high-end computers or high-end laptops.”

Spiegel further justified the cost by saying that Specs occupies a unique space in the AR market between glasses like Meta’s Ray-Bans — which cost a lot less but provide significantly less compute power — and bulkier headsets like the Apple Vision Pro, which are powerful but very expensive.

Spiegel said his product was both “highly wearable but also incredibly capable for immersive computing.”

So valid and I totally get it. I’ve seen a few places that have the same sort of problem.

I’ve never heard of them before. What makes you hate them so passionately?

Biggest and probably current constraint is the time it takes to create new manufacturing facilities. With how bad things are, I would imagine they have already maxed the output of the available production lines.

From what I’ve seen working in manufacturing and production facilities, it takes a handful of years to set up new production lines and many more to set up while new production facilities.

Not surprising at all.

I found a copy of the game online because I wanted to try it out before I considered buying it (I had a feeling I wouldn’t like it). I got maybe an hour of playtime before I stopped playing. The new pretty skin doesn’t do enough to make the game worth it.

I saw the image first without reading the title and was really scared thinking that it was some horrifying sous vide…

My guess, and confirmed by another comment, is that the ai only flags posts for review. Then the moderators have to manually check the post.

Honestly, it’s not a terrible use of AI in my opinion. Considering posts practically never change, they really only have to scan each post once. The mod can either flag it as safe or remove it. They are probably just running image and text pattern recognition on previously banned posts to flag newly submitted posts.

What is the range of a device like this? Is there any chance of using a mesh system like that if you’re not in a city? I’m about 30 miles away from a few towns, so there’s little chance for repeaters to be nearby.
