JFC weren’t a trash article.

Sounds like the DoE developed a way to extract uranium from sea water using some sort of polymer, and they are taking tech funding to “commercialize” it

Put as many layers in your onion as possible, also limit outbiund traffic which will make further exploration more difficult (especially if it’s an automated attack)

The only real dangers of AI:
- The bubble will take out much of the market when it pops
- The drones being used to kill in Ukraine & Palestine
All the “it’s nearly AGI” stuff is just marketing

That hasn’t been my experience, my experience is that you end up babysitting the LLM so much that you aren’t able to get more done.

I’m not able to spend less time working either as the LLM requires constant supervision.

I don’t think any company has shown productivity gains amongst experienced developers due to AI

Don’t forget the negative internalities (it makes it’s users dumber and the codebase less maintainable).

But yes it is useful, and the knee jerk hate comes mostly as a reaction to the marketing lies told by the companies selling it.

The n900 was an interation in the n800, but sure how that can be modeled on the iPhone without time travel.

Is the iPhones invocation patenting things?

How do you define innovation?

I don’t consider being in the right place when the tech fell into place, innovating (see also Tesla, MS-Dos, etc).

I think he was a visionary in that he had a vision and made it reality, but what was the innovation?

capacitive touch screen

The first phone with a capacitive touch screen was the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada the iPhone was built with the technology that was around at the time.

People credit the iPhone with creating smartphones but much like Tesla’s the tech was ready and they launched at the right time. I guess Apple patented multitouch slowing down adoption of multitouch on laptops by decades, but I’d credit Apple with that not Jobs.

Ok and none of them were innovative.

What was the innovation in the iPhone?

It was worse in almost every way except marketing than the n900.

The technology had reached the point where you could have smartphones by then, I don’t see what was innovative about iPhones.

You can call it visionary, sure because he spread his vision for a locked down phone, but where is the innovation in the iPhone?

A computer, an MP3 player, a tablet, starting a business.

How are any of those innovations?

I’d say killing yourself by ignoring medical advice for an easily treatable desies or pretending your daughter isn’t yours were innovations, but royals have been doing that for centuries.

Like what did he do that was innovative?

Vissonary maybe but innovator?

IPhones & MacBooks were well built & marketed but neither was really innovative.

Meh looks like it’s just a worse UI bolted onto Keywiki.

Which is funny because Keywiki really fell off and has mostly out of date info, but they haven’t put the work into updating it, just into putting a new UI on it.

I dislike how disenting opinions get downvoted on Lemmy/technology probably more than even on reddit.

Everything you said is factually correct.

I disagree that it means they should be banned but they take money from corporations to produce slopaganda, that’s just true, and even beyond that their videos are well animated but the moment they touch a subject you actually know about you realize they are just internet researched videos that go a little more in depth that reading the Wikipedia page but it doesn’t seem they actually understand what they are talking about, which is fine except that’s not what they present themselves as (same with CPG Greg)

I mostly use Nebula these days, but I’ve giving up on finding new content and I think all the creators I follow are on both because you’re unlikely to get many new viewers on Nebula.

They’re losing money, like cloud I doubt having OpenSource code would have much of an impact on the average consumer (maybe if they fully opened they weights it would have an impact but even then, they could delay the release a few months/versions and keep like 99% of the paid customers) being closed is more about stock valuation, they have to pretend to have a bunch of secret sauce/source that is worth infinity dollars.
