Were do 5k monitors fit in the current 4k+ future?

I agree that not all advocates are "cultist" but I did not even know this existed as a real disease, https://www.perception.foundation/faq. Wow , not sure if the site is accurate but either way it seems both sides of the issue need to be very honest and smart about psychedelics because info about Marijuana is just starting to be better known and that info was never in the conversation before, just like psychedelics now.

Can you guys just all go to Firefox so it has a chance, the way Chrome changes things is not acceptable and Firefox, performance wise, is just as fast even if people say otherwise. Try it and test for yourself.

Guys I am not disagreeing with anyone here but the patents for weather technologies are very real and gag orders are also very real so could someone please explain or link to info on why these things exist instead of saying covid made people stupid, which I assume means you also think yourself and all government leaders are now dumber? That does not mean anyone is causing hurricanes but maybe if more information on technologies that has been for decades was explained it would not be so confusing and these things would not get so out of hand.

Not disagreeing with you but I think people underestimate how many users would not watch Youtube if there were no Adblockers, I only say this because many in the content space and sometimes in the SAS/Webapp space are severely overestimating there products value and would not even with bother with Youtube specifically because of the unknown factor when they deliver adds. I think something like Tubi does it better and feels more like they actually respect the viewer while Youtube, like all Google, respect nothing which makes the breakup so so funny but I digress.

What country allows voting with out ID, can people traveling also vote? There is no logical reason to not require ID, this is not really a party issue.

How is Googles CEO still there, I understand that changing CEO's does not magically change anything but this is getting ridiculous. Google has dramatically changed since he has been in charge, this might be the 4th crazy mind blowing incident that could possibly lead to their downfall but I have a bad memory.

"Professional audio will typicall utilize 24-bit. Everything higher than that is usually bogus. Bogus where only audiophiles will hear a difference." Does he mean internal DAW bit rates like 64/32bit float are bogus, I am probably reading it wrong ?

Is forking really possible with an LLM or one the size of future Lama versions, have they even released the weights and everything? Maybe I am just negative about it because I feel Meta is the worst company ever invented and feel this will hurt society in the long run just like Facebook.

Yeah but Google and MS have the same problems.. What your talking about is the reality of using a computer connected to the internet since 2003.

I think eventually there is nothing that can stop certain adds on Chrome once specific API's are removed, even using manifest 3. Maybe someone could chime in on this as its really confusing now since Google keeps pushing back the date to remove manifest 2. (This might be outdated info)

But what if one of the ways to the store is dangerous once in a while but usually safe and always just as fast as the other 2 ways to the store.. Laziness has nothing to with the posters question. There is nothing wrong with Git , I just don't agree with the comparison.

I read this last week and its terrifying. If the world lets Facebook become an AI leader its on us as we all know how that story will play out.

Like others have said its the lying and exaggeration on both sides that really made this a confusing topic to navigate. I wish there was a way to push a "wait until your brain is developed before anything" message without being pro drug or confusing.

QNAP does not seem secure at all, IMO its not worth it. I have not used the others you mentioned.

I think the Atari's were also known for their MIDI timing which I remember people talking more about in the 2000's.

ladzoppelin — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 05:49:27 +0000

This is an intimidating contest, are there many groups working on these problems besides the people on their website? I wonder if they put "AI" in the branding to grab the attention of people in quantum about to pivot to LLM's..

lol, you really think the US has "free Speech" and this is some unprecedented action that will tear us apart?

But why is that a bad thing, China has the same regulations on companies not Chinese? Its not "better" algorithms its "weaponized" algorithms designed for specific populations including its own population which I imagine are not as damaging then the ones applied to others. My point is, of course this will be banned if the US gov cannot benefit from it and considered a threat to certain people.
