filister, (edited ) to technology in OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts

What makes you think that they are not scraping Lemmy too? The only reason they might not be is probably how niche Lemmy and the fediverse are, but I am sure there have been people already doing it.

filister, to pcmasterrace in Which do you prefer? A triple monitor setup? Or one single 32:9 ultrawide monitor?

I also have 3440x1440 curved at home and flat at work. My personal recommendation is to get a curved one. But if I have to shop now for a monitor, I will simply get a 4K flat. 32-34 inches. The lost vertical space is a real deal breaker for me and it annoys me.

Ultra wide are nice for example for audio/video editing, where you want to visualise the timeline, but majority of tasks you would do, including gaming on them are better on a standard 16:9 monitors.

It is amazing how many companies rely on ffmpeg and built their businesses around it.

filister, to worldnews in Hezbollah downs Israeli "spy" balloon over Lebanese village

It will be fought with AI.

Israel gave us already a short glimpse of what’s to come. Unmanned drones, with cameras, targeting civilians and killing them without any human intervention, where the execution order is given by the AI. AI spreading disinformation, and flooding public forums with negative opinions about their adversaries.

Whoever has the most money and the most advanced technology will rule over the poorer and less technologically advanced nations.

It is a bleak reality/future.

filister, (edited ) to worldnews in Gaza Strip pier project is completed, U.S. military says

You do realise that if Israel wanted they could have flooded Gaza with humanitarian aid, and all those equilibristics with air drops and floating piers would not have been needed, right?

This is in a way like an open admission for the US that their closest Middle East Ally is using hunger as a weapon of war and they are trying to appear the good guys, while sending even more weapons to Israel to “defend” themselves.

filister, to worldnews in Dutch woman, 29, granted euthanasia approval on grounds of mental suffering

I am all about giving people the possibility to put an end to their lives and there are plenty of people who are living almost unbearable lives, full of pain and suffering. And I know it is wrong to judge people without being in their shoes but, part of me is refusing to accept that a person who is apparently, young and physically healthy and in a relationship where the other partner obviously cares about her is so depressive and miserable that she wants to die.

So I have mixed feelings in this particular case and I feel sorry for her family and partner, who I am sure really wanted her to get better.

Nevertheless, I am happy that there are still doctors who are willing to take such cases because I can imagine how hard and psychologically challenging it would be to work with those people and they have my full respect.

filister, to youshouldknow in The ten stages of genocide

Please remind me, weren’t there a couple of Israeli politicians calling Palestinians human animals and asking to drop nuclear bombs on top of them.

Or weren’t some far right looting trucks full of humanitarian aid for famine ridden Gaza.

I can definitely continue this list or you can do yourself a favour by reading some Wikipedia page on the subject, and while at it you can also check (pick a random non affiliated with Israel human rights organisation) think of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians.

filister, to technology in Microsoft offers to relocate nearly 10% of China-based staffers to the US or allied nations — AI and cloud engineering exodus from China begins

Do not forget their so-called open document format (OOXML), which is everything but open, and their deliberate efforts to suffocate the competition, by abusing their market position.

filister, to technology in Microsoft offers to relocate nearly 10% of China-based staffers to the US or allied nations — AI and cloud engineering exodus from China begins

That’s a very strange title, I think in the end the US would suffer more, because China would be able to easily replace this talent, but the same cannot be said for the US.

filister, (edited ) to worldnews in Biden administration is sending $1 billion more in weapons, ammo to Israel, congressional aides say

I think that boat is gone now with Bernie being so old. But yes, you could have elected him and have one guy who genuinely cares about people. But I guess money is before people.

Kind of sad, isn’t it?

filister, to opensource in Open source LaTeX book first release

The compiler is open source: github.com/typst/typst

And maybe because LaTeX is a pain to work and debug? So please don’t tell me that you have never been frustrated with it.

filister, to technology in OLED monitor momentum expected to continue — analysts expect 1.34 million units shipped by year end

Yes, I am aware of that limitation, but hopefully the new gen will have fully featured support for it.

filister, (edited ) to opensource in Open source LaTeX book first release

You guys should also check out Typst typst.app. It is a lot easier than LaTeX even though not as powerful. It has meaningful error messages making the debugging a lot more user friendly.

filister, to technology in Everything happening at Google’s I/O developer conference 2024

This AI craze propped a lot of companies to new historical highs. It is of course logical that most companies would like to jump on that bandwagon.

Right now we are on the honeymoon period of AI and I can only guess we are fast approaching the limits of what the AI can do.

filister, (edited ) to worldnews in Netanyahu ministers join Israeli far-right 'march to Gaza,' demand Palestinians' expulsion

While literally creating a second Nakba. Seriously I would love all those far right or even Israeli politicians to live 1 month the life of a regular Palestinian, be it in the West Bank or Gaza. Just one month!

And then they are surprised that Palestinians don’t like them and are getting radicalized. Hmmm I wonder why…
