Totally, but the context is important. Everyone in that environment should (hopefully) understand that when they say silence, they don’t mean literal silence.
This is a special kind of stupid. They’re not recording silence, they’re recording the ambient sound of the room. The entire point is that it’s not silent, even if it is very quiet.
Often times, yes. I don’t want to always have to have a USB key on me, but I always have access to MFA apps via my phone, watch, or laptop. I have no idea why you’re typing the code out instead of copying and pasting.
Sure it does, it doubles back on itself at Ironwood, Copper Harbor, Sault Ste. Marie, and passes through Mackinaw twice. I don’t care whether you can drive a similar distance in a European country or not, but you can’t just blatantly lie about this route not overlapping when it clearly does multiple times.
Not really. A 4K movie means nothing to 99% of people. Is it 4GB? 40? 400? How many can my phone hold? Or my computer?
This only makes things more understandable if you use a point of reference that everyone you’re talking to is familiar with. The fact that they had to then explain how big a 4K movie is in the article clearly shows that even they know that this doesn’t help people. It’s just a big flashy number.
Just for context, I’m a writer, I understand the point of using these abstract measures to give a frame of reference. But in this case, just giving the capacity in GB/TB would have been easier to understand. It just wouldn’t have been as sensational of a headline.
What a useless headline. God forbid they just give the actual capacity rather than some abstract, bullshit, flexible measure that means nothing to anyone.
But you’re still limited to the opinions of people who post on Lemmy, which, as someone who occasionally posts on Lemmy, is not a shining beacon of quality.
Even if I just went by what I get on the first page of a Google search, I’d expect I’d find what I need much faster using Google than I would using Lemmy based purely on the volume of info Google has access to. And that’s not even taking into account things like Google’s ability to search within other sites.
Unless Lemmy has gotten like 100 billions times better in the last week, this isn’t even a fair comparison.
Edit: lol, just realised you’re the same guy from the Nvidia thread.
I don’t mean to be dismissive of your entire train of thought (I can’t follow a lot of it, probably because I’m not a dev and not familiar with a lot of the concepts you’re talking about) but all the things you’ve described that I can understand would require these tools to be a fuckload better, on an order we haven’t even begun to get close to yet, in order to not be super predictable.
It’s all wonderful in theory, but we’re not even close to what would be needed to even half-ass this stuff.
That remains to be seen. We have yet to see one of these things actually get good at anything, so we don’t know how hard that last part is to do. I don’t think we can assume there will be continuous linear progress. Maybe it’ll take one year, maybe it’ll take 10, maybe it’ll just never reach that point.
Writer here, absolutely not having this experience. Generative AI tools are bad at writing, but people generally have a pretty low bar for what they think is good enough.
These things are great if you care about tech demos and not quality of output. If you actually need the end result to be good though, you’re gonna be waiting a while.
You can absolutely contact Microsoft (or Apple) for support, plus basically any computer store will happily charge a small fee for basic tech support, or you can call the computer manufacturer or reseller. On the Linux side, unless you bought from something like System76, the chances of you finding an official support network that an elderly person would find usable and accessible are pretty slim.
That’s absolutely not the idea I have in my head. If you read most of my replies here, I think I explain pretty clearly that the main issue I see with Linux is not actually the software itself, it’s that there’s not a good, normie-friendly support system for when things do go wrong or things aren’t immediately obvious.
I also tend to advocate for MacOS more than Windows. Although I’ve used both my whole life, I find macOS a lot more intuitive than windows, and I would generally never recommend windows unless there’s a specific need for it.
