If you’re getting 650 Mbps, all of your hardware is definitely capable of running 1 Gbps, as the test with desktops is showing (you can hardly get more than 950Mbps from 1GBps hardware in reality). If it weren’t, it’d probably run at 100 Mbps.

Read the fine print of the ISP plan to see how the bandwidth is allocated. It may be something like “1000 Mbps total, 700 down/300 up”. In that case, you’re getting what was advertised: about 700 Mbps downlink, and the rest will be uplink. My ISP advertises 1000/50, and they’re true to both, so I get blisteringly fast downlink, but abysmal uplink. A friend of mine has 500/500, which is IMO much better, but that ISP doesn’t have coverage in my building.

Braille isn’t very good for quick discernment. It’s much easier to put differently-shaped buttons together or put buttons into different places.

MediaTek 9400 fits within 10% of Snapdragon 8 Elite, so if you don’t intend to load a custom ROM, I’d say there are options.

I love how you’re totally ignoring 8 existed.

Microsoft has a Windows 11 problem. Staying on Windows 10 is a symptom.

Altman is definitely a tech bro. Nadella is, I’d say, also one, although I’m getting a bit of “How do you do, fellow kids” vibe from him.

Conveniently, the heat from all this power being generated and subsequently used in the data centres doesn’t count as emmissions. Twats.

That’s a great article.

Drag has a funny understanding of the word leftism, then.

Bought a Panasonic with Android TV about a year or two ago, and used it for a while solely as a screen for my Kodi box, no internet connection. Worked perfectly. The TV’s image quality leaves something to be desired (especially backlight uniformity), though.

With a clear set of criteria, you can easily make this argument that the designer of the discrimination system is culpable because they input discriminatory criteria into the system, I’m with you there.

However, with AI, it may easily happen that unforeseen discriminatory behaviour emerges, in which case I would argue it is indistinguishable in practice whether a computer is purely evaluating criteria or making a decision on its own for the purposes of calling decisions discriminatory.

The same happens e.g. when discovering new proteins using AI. AI comes up with a protein, you confirm it’s better than the previous one, victory. There may be a better one, but that’s not really a concern here. Same can’t be said when targetting a group of people with repressive measures.

Ever heard of the USSR? Was a big thing once.

I still fail to see how people expect LLMs to reason. It’s like expecting a slice of pizza to reason. That’s just not what it does.

Although Porsche managed to make a car with the engine in the most idiotic place win literally everything on Earth, so I guess I’m leaving a little possibility that the slice of pizza will outreason GPT 4.

Join us. Thrive.

I don’t have those, so that. That stops me from doing that.

Authoritarian left is a thing…

People are interested in sourcing of information in 2034? I see that as an absolute win.
