<p>LLMs are having pretty consistent studies into their biases. Obviously this doesn't mean we know all the biases, but it's being actively worked on.<p>Meanwhile with human doctors, every one of them is a unique person with a completely different set of biases. In my experience, getting a correct diagnosis or treatment plan often involves trying multiple doctors, because many of them will jump to a common diagnosis even if the symptoms don't line up and the treatment doesn't actually help.</p>

<p>A growing business right now is using AI art for product images for Amazon/etc listings. There are lots of ComfyUI workflows for it, you put in a picture of the product, some photos of people, and it can spit out images of the people wearing it.<p>Many product images are currently done through photoshop/etc, but this is quicker and can look more realistic.<p>It may not accurately represent how the product will actually look when worn, but that's not the seller's primary concern.</p>

<p>"Raw Farm has been associated with over a dozen other outbreaks and many recalls in the last 20 years, according to Bill Marler, a personal injury lawyer specializing in food poisoning outbreaks who has kept a record of the company’s outbreaks. Those outbreaks have been caused by a range of pathogenic bacteria known to be risks in unpasteurized dairy products, including E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria. A 2024 Salmonella outbreak connected to Raw Farm’s raw milk was linked to at least 171 illnesses."<p>If true, it sounds like this is just par for the course.</p>

<p>The main goal is money, an Xbox branded windows PC has potential to drive sales.<p>Microsoft can also hopefully target a smoother user experience than a typical windows PC provides. They want this to be a valid console competitor, but just slapping xbox brand on a windows PC isn't enough to do that.<p>Having a first party hardware device to target for PC games can also help devs with having a clear performance target for PCs, similar to how the Steam Deck is currently a minimum spec performance target for a lot of games.</p>

<p>People also used to marry younger and have children sooner. When people were getting married and starting to have kids in their teenage years, it meant that new grandparents would only be in their mid-30s or so. That put them in a much better spot to assist with the grandchildren.<p>Now many people I know are waiting until their 30s to have children, meaning that the grandparents are already 50-60s.</p>

<p>All models have improved, but from my understanding, Gemini is the main one that was specifically trained on photos/video/etc in addition to text. Other models like earlier chatgpt builds would use plugins to handle anything beyond text, such as using a plugin to convert an image into text so that chatgpt could "see" it.<p>Gemini was multimodal from the start, and is naturally better at doing tasks that involve pictures/videos/3d spatial logic/etc.<p>The newer chatgpt models are also now multimodal, which has probably helped with their svg art as well, but I think Gemini still has an edge here</p>

<p>It is if it's something they couldn't do on their own before.<p>It's a magical moment when someone is able to AI code a solution to a problem that they couldn't fix on their own before.<p>It doesn't matter whether there are other people who could have fixed this without AI tools, what matters is they were able to get it fixed, and they didn't have to just accept it was broken until someone else fixed it.</p>

<p>A lot of spy cameras have an IR light that will be visible if viewed through your phone camera, so turning out the lights and doing a quick phone camera sweep can help.<p>I'm guessing this won't apply to all cameras though.</p>

<p>Some basic uses: SSH, wake-on-lan, downloading youtube videos, watching anime through ani-cli, coding, pen-testing, setup your phone as a file server through copyparty, setup a full linux desktop on your phone, etc.<p>For anyone who already is familiar with a linux terminal, termux is a great way to use a lot of the open-source tools you're already familiar with instead of trying to find a dozen different apps instead (that all probably show ads, spy on you, or require a subscription). There are also several apps that use it as a necessary backbone for their functionality, and require it to be installed.</p>

<p>Basically all games work, except some multiplayer games with kernel anticheat. You can look up the status of games here:<p><a href="https://www.protondb.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.protondb.com/</a><p>And specifically the state of multiplayer games with anticheat here (which is a much less favorable % of working games):<p><a href="https://areweanticheatyet.com/" rel="nofollow">https://areweanticheatyet.com/</a><p>I personally wouldn't install any kernel anticheat on a computer that I intend to use for anything important, so I would personally refuse to install the incompatible games even if I was using windows.</p>

<p>To be fair 30% is the standard.<p>As far as I know, all of the following stores take a 30% cut:<p>* Steam 
* GOG
* Microsoft store
* Xbox store
* PlayStation store
* Nintendo eShop
* App store
* Play store
* Kindle store<p>There's also stuff like Audible where Amazon takes a 75% cut unless you agree to exclusively sell your audiobook through them. And there was a lawsuit over that because it turned out Audible was actually only paying authors a 15% cut, while keeping 85% of sales for themselves.</p>

<p>A lot of Linux ports have serious issues, it's quite common to get better performance/fewer bugs by forcing a Linux native steam game to run the windows version through Proton instead.<p>Realistically a lot of devs aren't going to make Linux versions at all (or be able to spend time actually fixing issues with them) unless Linux users make up a bigger market share. Valve's efforts are helping to grow Linux market share, which is a necessary step before we can ever hope for most devs to focus on Linux compatibility.</p>

<p>Paypal is good as a consumer. You can buy stuff without giving random sites your card details, and paypal is willing to refund purchases if you have a legitimate issue and the seller refuses to cooperate with you.<p>My wife placed a large clothing order some months back, but the package got ripped in transit and we only received about a quarter of it. The seller company refused a refund because the tracking data said "delivered", even though I was able to get confirmation from USPS that the package weight in transit lost most of it's weight between two shipping centers. The fact that we placed the order through paypal ended up saving us, we were able to bring them in as a mediator and they got us a refund.</p>

<p>Generally yes, although some cheats like aim assistance would work fine on online streamed games, since they can scan your screen and adjust your mouse input to aim.<p>To be fair kernel anticheat can't block this completely either, it can be run on external hardware that uses a capture card to analyze your video feed and alter your mouse inputs to the computer. Generally undetectable unless the game is able to identify unnatural mouse movements.</p>
