  • I have to agree, although I find the quality dropped a bit after the first season, writing-wise. It was still enjoyable though.

  • You make weird assumptions seemingly based on outdated ideas. I'll let you be, perhaps you need some rest.

  • You are misunderstanding the tech. That's not how this works, models are trained often, did you think this was done only a few years ago? The fact that you called them bots says everything.

    You're just hating to hate on something, without understanding the technology. The efficiency I'm referring to is the MoE architecture that only got popular within the last year. There are still new architectures being developed, not that you care about this topic but would prefer to blindly hate on what's spewed from outdated and biased news sources.

  • As with almost all technology, AI tech is evolving into different architectures that aren't wasteful at all. There are now powerful models we can run that don't even require a GPU, which is where most of that power was needed.

    The one wrong thing with your take is the lack of vision as to how technology changes and evolves over time. We had computers the size of rooms to run processes that our mobile phones can now run hundreds of times more efficiently and powerfully.

    Your other points are valid, people don't realize how AI will change the world. They don't realize how soon people will stop thinking for themselves in a lot of ways. We already see how critical thinking drops with lots of AI usage, and big tech is only thinking of how to replace their staff with it and keep consumers engaged with it.

  • Firefox Finally Did It (Tab Groups)

    Jump

  • I can't tell if you're serious or not. A bookmark bar will never be able to easily contain everything you need. It requires manual review (expanding the bar, manually browsing every bookmark and re-opening tabs [and you're suggesting to bookmark 50+ pages every week.. impossible]). So not only are you implying it would be better to add 2 - 3 additional steps to the workflow, but also you are missing the very functional fact that a bookmark bar is a lot less accessible than a scrollable tab bar with an instantly opened window with what you were working on.

    Tabs also remember where you are on the page. I read long studies, and implement complex projects. Bookmarks will re-open every tab at the start of the page, not word 600. There are just too many reasons as to why tabs are more functional than bookmarks and saving data to lists. A big part of it is the size of the persons workflow, someone with a smaller workflow may not be able to see how impactful those additional steps in the process are.

  • Firefox Finally Did It (Tab Groups)

    Jump

  • Yeah, that is just asking for data to be forgotten. The functional difference is:

    You have your browser with let's say 30 tabs. You can't forget what you need to, because they are always open. So to catch up, you have to close out your tabs or lose everything.

    Compared to adding something to a list, which requires you to manually go back and remember what you needed to do. But if you have 100 things to every week, and those constantly get added on, you will always lose data to return to if you're not actively tracking it, hence the tabs.

    It's a very simple concept. A lot of people have a lot less time to do all the things they need to during the week. People on their computers all day, or with less of a workload, can't comprehend this without opening their mind to a different perspective.

    I know, because I used to feel the same way about people who had 20+ tabs. But at that point in time, the thought of not having enough time to get to everything and adding 50+ things to do every week (meaning 200 - 400 new tabs every week) was foreign to me, and your suggestion makes it quite literally impossible if you care to actually complete everything you wanted.

  • Firefox Finally Did It (Tab Groups)

    Jump

  • I used to feel the same way. But recently, I just don't have time to 'finish' each tab/section. When I was younger with more time, I could.

    For example, the first section of my browser is several self hosted apps I'm currently implementing. So, I don't want to lose the relevant forum posts/documentation.

    The second section is some articles I couldn't finish reading.

    The third section is something I'm researching for my work.

    Fourth are media tabs, some YouTube videos I haven't finished, a music tab, etc etc

    So basically, if I had time to read the articles, one section closed. Or finished my implementation, etc.

    The hard part this is this is every week. Always new projects, work or personal. Always new studies to read. Always new vids. You get the point.

  • Fredthefishlord made some great points. Your timeline is completely off and unrealistic. The major controversies surrounding Musk have only really come to light in the past couple years. Before that, buying a Tesla was seen as a green, eco-friendly option with newer technology. Expecting people to trade in their Tesla immediately, or even within a year or so, is just unrealistic.

    Second, financing exists. Not everyone who buys a nice car is well off or in a position to trade it in, and even if they are, that doesn’t mean it’s the best option for them. Trade-ins still usually require a deposit if you want something equally beneficial. Not everyone can afford that, especially with how recent all of this is. You act like this was some long-term open secret when in reality a lot of people bought their cars before any of this was common knowledge.

    You argue like a Republican. You ignore the actual points made just so you can keep pushing this closed-minded idea that everyone should see everything exactly as you do and act at the exact pace you expect. If they don’t, they deserve to be attacked and have their car destroyed, even if it’s their only way to work and make the money they’d need to replace it. That’s absurd.

    This is just selfish and short-sighted. “They don’t think like me so attack them until they do” is not activism, it’s just stupidity. You’re advocating for harming random people (yes harming people's method of travel/income is harming their livelihood) who might not even support Musk, just because you assume they do. At best you’re wasting energy. At worst you’re hurting people who don’t deserve it.

  • You assume so much of other's people's lives. It must be easy to live like that, huh? Is it so hard to imagine that other people live different lives and may not have had the ability or desire to trade it in? Too bad for them, I guess.

    You can have your opinions, but attacking cars of people who are not involved in making decisions that matter is nonsensical and short-sighted at best.

  • Content moderation is what a 21st century hazardous job looks like

  • Then how can you say mental health is "one of the most neglected forms of care", then go on to neglect the mental health concerns brought up by the article by minimizing it to a single comparison made in the first paragraph?

    We can all agree that content moderation is incredibly harmful, and if we want to support mental health care, that should be the focus of discussion.

  • I'm confused though. The platform is the same cost as a gaming console if not cheaper? You can buy a quest3 at a good price.

  • Good point. I have used the Fladder app to download content!

  • portable jellyfin stack

    Jump

  • I download all my content to my laptop/phone and then just run a server from there, either using jellyfin, vlc, or casting software to my firestick.

    But since it's a month long, it's a decent amount of content. I mean, you're already planning on buying ram so you could spin up a virtual server for like 15 bucks or less and just use that for a month.

    Also since you're bringing this pc, it doesn't have to be crazy. I'd just use Windows or any OS you have and serve my content on the network using Jellyfin or VLC. Since it's jellyfin you can use their clients and avoid transcending, and should be set on a mini pc.

  • I outsourced my memory to an AI pin and all I got was fanfiction

  • That's a fair opinion. I could never imagine contracting someone to put content on my website, then making my end users pay to even see that content just so I can ensure I can pay my writers, knowing it drives most traffic away. An ethical and intelligent website host would ensure more consistent and effective ways of bringing in income, which is their responsibility.

    We live in a digital age where most of everything on the internet is free. Putting your site behind a paywall is a surefire way to ensure your website will receive less traffic in this day and age, but to each to their own.
