They literally don’t know. “GPT-5” is several models, with a model gating in front to choose which model to use depending on how “hard” it thinks the question is. They’ve already been tweaking the front-end to change how it cuts over. They’ve definitely going to keep changing it.

All outlets should just be replaced with IEC C13. Robust and compact.

As recent as the 90’s it also used to be left-wing to oppose immigration, since it was seen as a way for the right to devalue labor and lower wages.

A lot has changed.

My favorite is the IEA forecast for Solar adoption

Selling their own music and maps subscriptions, ads, selling location data. Enshittification.

GM also views the new infotainment system as a way to generate more revenue from subscription services, including music streaming, audiobooks and vehicle maintenance. GM’s chief executive Mary Barra has set a target of $20 billion USD (about $27 billion CAD) to $25 billion (roughly $33 billion CAD) in annual revenue from subscriptions by 2030

I love nuclear but China is building them as fast as they can and they’re still being massively outpaced by their own solar installations. If we hadn’t shut down most of the research and construction in the 80’s it would have been great, but it’s not going to be a solution to the huge power requirement growth from EVs and shit like AI in the “short” term of 1-20 years.

If we’re still talking about AI, you can ramp up the AI training and batch workloads when the sun is shining and stop them overnight. It’s one of those things like aluminum smelters where you can adjust the load

What people call “demonetized” on YouTube is actually called “no or limited ads” inside of YouTube Studio. It’s not Google but the advertisers who don’t want their Coca-Cola ads shown on those videos. YouTube Premium views still pay out on those videos since they’re not ad views.

If everyone paid for YouTube Premium and didn’t use the ad-supported product, then advertiser boycotts would have no power.

Yep. And if you look at video platforms that actually have to pay for their own bandwidth (Floatplane by LTT), you’re going to end up paying $5 PER CREATOR. Hosting video on Vimeo is also super expensive.

The big companies like that get the laptops at cost because they sign up for juicy support contracts, which is where the real money is

People keep buying them and signing up for an ink subscription. If people are that dumb, they’d be insane NOT to milk them for cash

This grant was originally not going to even allow satellite providers - the idea was it was going to go to hundreds of small fiber and wireless ISPs who needed the money to build infrastructure to rural areas that is not profitable on the face of it.

A one-time grant like this isn’t going to make or break Starlink - they’re not building anything infrastructure with the money (the satellites burn up in a few years and need to be replaced - are they going to need ongoing grants?), so basically it’s just giving free money to SpaceX. Whereas if the money went to a company building fiber or wireless repeaters that money would pay itself back over and over again and the fees would just pay for maintenance

"RDOF rules set speeds of 25/3 Mbps as the minimum allowed for broadband service delivered by winners. However, participants were permitted to bid at four different performance tiers: 25/3 Mbps, 50/5 Mbps, 100/20 Mbps and 1 Gbps/500 Mbps"

If SpaceX had bid on a lower tier of service that they were actually capable of delivering, they would have been fine.

This grant was not designed to fund the development of new technology, it was designed to build infrastructure (fiber, 5G, WISPs, etc) and they were originally going to exclude satellites from the bidding completely. The companies who would have used the grant to build fiber or set up point-to-point wireless would have had no problem meeting the requirements since it’s all proven technology.

I like using wired headphones when I take phone calls. The headset profile that Bluetooth switches to when it needs to activate a microphone sounds like total ass and I have trouble understanding what people say as it is.

I’m already seeing people come into software dev support forums asking “ChatGPT said you could do this but it’s not compiling” and people replying that no, that’s not possible and them arguing about it because ChatGPT said it.

Once Elon Musk unleashes his “uncensored” AI chat bot, we’re going to be flooded with made-up misinformation, it’s going to be a bloodbath.

It’s such a Microsoft/IBM format. “Let’s use this structural wrapper format! And then just define a format inside one gigantic chunk inside it!”

When Apple had already created AIFF years before and actually used the structure of the wrapper to implement the metadata. And also adopted an open structural format that already existed on Amiga.

The US also has very much of a “cowboy” self image
