Why they did it that way instead of giving users the option to just set the model that they want to use ahead of time boggles the mind. Surely it would be more efficient for them to chose a model if they want ahead of time, rather than generating something that’s going to be regenerated with the desired model instead.
T156@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.English1·18 hours agoDepends on it and its dependencies, probably. A lot of the core utilities are generally unchanged enough that they should still work despite being a decade old.

T156@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be overEnglish2·20 hours agoIt’s only made worse by the people who treat it like the Master Computer from Star Trek, claim that it can solve all the problems, and thus attempt to shove it into anything and everything.
It’s baffling why my notepad needs to be hooked up to an LLM in the first place. It’s a notepad, for quick scribbling. If people want to write something serious in it, there are far better things for that.
T156@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•LibreOffice is right about Microsoft, and it matters more than you think.English3·1 day agoIn my experience, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag. There are some things that work in Linux, and some things that don’t, even after a bit of fiddling. My desktop’s front panel is completely unusable on Linux, for example.
Windows is at least widespread enough that it’s far more likely that parts will work on it at least to some degree. And sure enough, the front panel works fine there.

Those are machines that can still run Windows 10 without issue. It’s an older computer, but still perfectly usable these days.

It’s at least cheap enough to run that they can afford to drop the pricing on the API compared to their older models.

You joke, but there are already protheses which are proprietary, and have shut down. Artificial eyes is a famous example, where the company making one shut down the product line, and blinded people who’d had it installed, due to it just shutting off.
Only if the alternative was doing nothing. Having to sit down and stay still in a chair for many hours whilst hooked up to machinery doesn’t sound like much of an improvement.
