Google’s AI now goes by a new name: Gemini https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/8/24065553/google-gemini-ios-android-app-duet-bard

pop_justy,

@verge Oh good, something else using the term Gemini so as not to be confused with the Gemini protocol. https://geminiprotocol.net/

I recently found a place that recreated the 80s/90s style Weather Channel complete with the kind of Muzak you'd find in the old weather channel.

Also went to a flea market close by and found this old RadioShack electronics learning lab.

Even had the old books with it. Apparently the previous owner left batteries in it, so after some cleaning, I tested it by wiring an SR latch. The original wires, resistors, and a few capacitors didn’t make it. But everything else looks to be here.

Even the books are here!

A picture of the RadioShack books that came with the learning lab. One is titled Basic Electronics and the other is titled Digital Logic Projects

Happy Halloween 😉

pop_justy,

@gamingonlinux Manjaro is too heavy and easy for even the greenest admin to notice. Got to start with a more gateway distro that's cool with all the kids, seems harmless at first, and easy for parents to miss like Pop_OS.

So with that said, I've got ISOs for ya if you're looking to download. Ya know, just saying.

Me: I have a pretty specific sense of humor.

Person: What do you mean?

Me: There's a joke about shift registers and delay-line memory but you'll have to wait till it comes back to me.

pop_justy,

@timonsku Well take a look at who is expressing “concern” with RISC-V.

Representative Mike Gallagher who is chairman of the House select committee on China, has an outsized position within his portfolio on chipmaker Intel. https://www.capitoltrades.com/articles/michael-mccaul-is-betting-on-the-comeback-of-intel-2022-11-21

In fact, most of the names listed all have vested interests in various silicon manufacturers. So, duh, they’re absolutely being feed this BS from lobbyists.

pop_justy,

@w7voa > Who could fail to be entertained by such a saga of self-destruction?

Plenty of self-destruction all around. It’s not entertaining, it’s sad. A lot of engineers put a ton of time and effort into Twitter and a single manchild has destroyed all of it.

There’s nothing entertaining about that. Too many people trying to get a moments high off of schadenfreude is partly the issue with social media in general.

Irate, mostly because, if code doesn’t require it, it’s opinion. But once you gave the “nobody cares” disclaimer, you got a pass, at least from me.

“The only people who complain now will be those that don't use the engine, want to troll, or are very unreasonable people.” 🤨🤨

pop_justy,

@gamingonlinux The fact that there is zero change in leadership shows they’ve learned nothing.

Same chemicals in, why would anyone expect a different reaction down the line?

They’ll absolutely try this again, but much slower going forward.

    @ngmi Everyday I see Musk make similar mistakes alt.* made back with Usenet that ultimately ISP NNTP servers stepped in and just stopped copying hate.

    Ultimately app stores are going to stop carrying Xitter just like ISPs refused to carry certain Usenet groups.

    Trying to “free speech” your argument to provide a megaphone to extremist is going to end up with someone else simply leaving the “free speech” people to distribute their crap on their own.

    One day, retro-computing is going include someone writing a brand new Flash game and some esoteric HOWTO to get Chrome version 2xx to run it.

    And there’s nothing any one of us can do to stop that day from happening.

    Every article on this blog was written by a human ✍️

    Or Joey 💁🏻‍♂️ 😉

    AI-written content is on the rise (and there are places where it has a role) but I want to make my position clear.

    If you read about an app, distro update, or anything else on my site(s), it'll be written (however badly) by a real person.

    Any editorialising, opinion, or framing (e.g., it's great, it's bad, newbie's will love it, etc) comes from a human mind, not an AI trying to write something that "sounds" convincing.

    pop_justy,

    @omgubuntu @gamingonlinux Back in my day we had to read man pages. Didn’t have no fancy stack overtow or whatever to solve our problems. 😆

    But in all seriousness, AI does present something different. That training data that was used, there was likely a copyright for it and those people didn’t get paid anything to start a new multi trillion dollar AI industry that’ll replace them.
