each new phone is more expensive, with less functionality.

hover on the touch screen? gone

iris scanner, gone

headphone jack? gone

air pressure sensor? gone

humidity sensor? gone

ir blaster, gone

meanwhile I get charged out the ass for storage space.

Why the fuck would I want a newer phone?

Maurice Moss almost managed it, but unfortunately he had an overheating problem

whoops, one of our developers slipped on a banana peel and accidentally hit all the right keys, over the course of a couple of hours, to accidentally implement ads in the game

if you see a dark area you can turn on a flashlight to emit light towards the area and make it not-dark.

If you see a lit area and you want it unlit, there is no anti-flashlight you can point towards it to suck the light out.

Similar kind of thing, heat can only be given, not taken. heating stuff up is easy, but for cooling the best you can do in most cases is to make it easier for the thing to give you its heat (ex by the atmosphere colder), but you can't force it.

If you try to start learning how they work, the first thing you realize is that hallucinations are fundamental to how the technology works. Of course they are unfixable. That's literally how they work.

They're broken clocks that happen to be right more than just twice a day, but still broken nonetheless.

a) because it's what everyone I know uses

b) telegram is not end-to-end encrypted by default. And not end-to-end encrypted at all for group chats. That's kind of a dealbreaker. Telegram is one of the last messaging apps I'd recommend.

yeah this can only work if implemented by the devs. The only reason this can be done for some older emulated games is that there is only a megabyte or two needed to capture the state of the entire system. Not several gigabytes.

exactly the same as 64 bit computing, except pointers now take up twice as much ram, and therefore you need mire baseline momory throuput/ more cache, for pretty much no practical benefit. Because we aren't close to fully using up a 64-bit address space .

"the next generation cloud-native"

that's as far as I got. Cloud native is an immediate, non-negotiable red flag for me

"built on an open web framework...."

hard pass then. Why the hell would I want to open a browser instance for a terminal???

As more people post ai generated content online, then future ai will inevitably be trained on ai generated stuff and basically implode (inbreeding kind of thing).

At least that's what I'm hoping for

it is only open source if i can build it myself. Which I can't if you just give me the weights.

The weights are the "compiled" version of the dataset. It's the dataset that's the source, not the weights

because her religion had nothing to do with what she was famous for. Who the hell cares which fantasy book she liked the best.

yeah it should technically be called overmass

this is such bullshit advice. This is the quickest way to destroy your passions and end up as a boring drone with no hobbies

so, you have gigabytesper second of disk io, and the game relies on the couple of megaBITS of internet bandwidth most people have to stream textures? As opposed to downloading and installing them once as an update...

This does not pass the smell test.

so, due to those gaps, it currently can't do those things.

This argument boils down to "yes it could, if someone bothered to implement it". Well... nobody has, so it can't

almost. South park said it takes 22.3 years before something like that becomes funny. Still 2 or 3 months to go

isn't that exactly what trains were designed for and are best at?

just putting it behind a login screen was catastrophic by itself... just saying

it's the very first thing you see when you visit any project's github page.

the pandemic was three years ago. If these people are getting into college now, they had to have learned that stuff prior to the pandemic

we are very very very far away from that

atmega328. It's not the most powerful chip, but it's what's on most arduinos, which is what got me into electronics in the first place.

The reason I buy games is because pirating them is more trouble than just paying for them.

Now with video streaming, the value add was that I didn't even need to have to go search for something, it was just all there for a small fee.

Now for that fee, I still have to search for stuff (klwhich streaming service is it on in the first place), juggle subscriptions, and also, in some cases, have to watch ads. Why would I do that when the old ways of the sea are more convenient again?

these don't work for any longer than a couple of days, at most.

yep. lemmy is not based on blockchain... and it works nonetheless, even if relatively new. it can only get better from here

in the time it takes my work windows laptop to get from a login screen to a usable desktop, with the cpu idle, I rebooted and signed in to my linux desktop, and performed a restart. Several times.

no, i am talking about phones. this stuff used to actually be in phones

a browser that won't cripple your machine. It used to be the opposite case, but the tables have turned.

Also, you can also use firefox on android and have all extensions (adblockers etc) available on your phone too!

the models are also getting larger (and require even more insane amounts of resources to train) far faster than they are getting better.

do you have the full blockchain on your phone? no?

Do you host the full blockchain on a server at home and access that through your phone? no?

Then you're consuming someone's private api. They can send you whatever and you will trust it, because you don't verify anything they return.
