It’s actually superior to ChatGPT, because of much higher context memory of about 100,000 tokens whereas GPT-4 only got at most 32,000 tokens. Plus you can upload doc and then query on it.

Microsoft: “Gotta keep all of the telemetries and AI running 24/7 of course!”

I don’t think it’s possible for them to do so, because that would means killing the gaming aspect of Windows. GPU on cloud is stupidly overpriced and expensive, just look at Standard_NV6 for an example, it easily cost $10,000/yr according to this (Just look for anything that have “N” in it’s name for GPU enabled VM and they are all expensive.)

If they try to ban everyone from being allowed to use their own computer hardware, I really doubt people would stay on Windows, they most likely would be in the 5 stages of griefs and then contemplate on switching to either Linux or Mac OSX.

I would honestly hope you bring it up to your agency to start offering chat channels that are end to end encrypted and have all history wiped clean after certain period of time.

Probably both and Network Effect is still a thing that he would consider.

I think it’s better to create a division between corpo-social media and public social media. Everything that corporation does just muddle the water.

This seems to be intentional disinformation. The prefix ‘dis-’ implies intention, whereas ‘mis-’ suggests unintentionality.

I think we need to start curating a list of writers that aren’t intentionally spewing uninformed craps. We need to start posting legit writer’s articles and blacklist all other hostile writers.

Same, it’s like we’re watching from the sideline seeing all of the sheep going head fast off the cliff.

For anyone wondering what Threads is, it’s an Instagram/Meta/Facebook’s Twitter alternative platform.

Theoretically, by wiping out the rich would create instability within the wealthy class, they wouldn’t have the time or the means to herd the politicians to serve them or to effectively disrupt democracy.

The inheritance that kid collects would amounts to “Congratulation, you won the lottery, now what? You haven’t own any corporation yet, know of anything about how to make connections with other politicians and wealthy class of people and so forth. You’re pretty much on your own.”

Like 70% of the time, those people wouldn’t even bother with politic and would just spend the money vacationing where-ever in the world and having fun with the newfound wealth, not busy trying to disrupt democracy. People tend to be very shortsighted when they amasses huge wealth, in fact, according to some statistic, it ranges from 44% to 70% of people who gain huge amount of money end up losing it all within the next 5 years.

That amount of time would basically give the common people enough time to go about fixing the political system.

And so the global enshittification grows…

To be fair, it a REALLY good hammer.

I thought about bringing up technical writing, then I realized that it’s a possibility that even that job isn’t safe within the next 5 years considering the promising development of Spiking Neural Net. This is something I would probably suggests to your daughter at this point that she should probably reconsider her chosen field and try to enter biology or some stable job.

It would make it even more important to have sites like Goodread where books are recommended by communities.

Well, I’ve worked for the government (as contractor), corporations, and small businesses, I could count a few times I’ve seen people using Apple Mac Pro devices on one hand (more often seeing Macbook Pro rather, but very rarely for development) and more time than I can count on either Linux or Windows workstation computers.

We use Linux desktop often, because most of our servers are running on Linux so it helps to have version conformity when matching up with server’s versioning and we occasionally use Windows for Visual Studio, proprietary software and so forth. But there are a few times where we get discounts for buying software for Linux rather than Windows.

Employees in my office switched from Apple Macbook Pro to Windows/Linux based laptops like Framework Laptop, because Macbook Pro often time lacked GPU that you would find on Linux and Windows workstation. Apple is going off on it’s own little world with their own Metal API/GPU and it doesn’t reflect the reality in real world emerging technologies. For instance, there are some computational challenges that in my office, we make use of Vulkan Compute so that we can purchase both Nvidia GPU and AMD GPU to generate real-time data, had we used Metal API and Apple’s products, it would’ve been cheaper to purchase cloud compute servers. (We wanted to ensure each developer can test the given Vulkan code on their own desktop/workstation.)

Stuff you post in public could end up staying in public forever… It’s like there are consequences for our actions…

Yep, strongly shares that sentiment too for those who refuse to put shopping cart back.

I think so long that the community is on an invite-basis community, it raise the cost of botting the website much higher than other platforms so it can de-incentivize them from gaming the platform.

That’s an interesting dilemma when you bring up Android. I have always considered android device as a hardware compromised device and that it shouldn’t be used for highly confidential data to an extent that you might be using PGP/GPG for.

But you could have all of your PGP/GPG centrally managed on a Linux system with android device having it’s own unique keypair that is signed by your root PGP/GPG keypair on your Linux system. As for software for managing GPG/PGP on Linux system, I just simply use KGPG which does the job plenty well. If you have to use PGP/GPG on Android Phone, then I recommend sticking with f-droid repository for PGP/GPG key management app, not Google Play Store.

OpenKeychain Source Code

OpenKeychain Package on F-droid

Few use-cases for GPG/PGP on android is encrypting email or chat, but application integration is limited to select few software like K-9 Mail or Conversations.
