I think the first two seasons of Sherlock puts it up as some of the best TV, but the last two seasons pulled it down as a whole.
And while I keep seeing people taking justified shots at GoT, I’m not seeing the same for Dexter, which fell off sooner and had a worse ending.
There are a few moments that just gut punch you. It’s like Jurassic Bark in Futurama, one of the saddest scenes on TV.
I had the same phone, and the only reason I replaced it was because the USB C port was finicky. It must have been damaged at some point and when plugged in, the cable had to be just right. Wireless charging works great, but I wanted the stability of being able to plug in and know it would discharge over night when I didn’t have a wireless charger. Otherwise, I had no issues with the battery, and I got the phone when it was pretty new to the market. I swapped it out just a few months back, and it’s going to be my test phone for grapheneOS and may end up being a communal remote.
Actually, it is. Anecdotally, I’ve never had an issue with my Nvidia card playing any games. Nvidia is certainly not as good as AMD, but it’s not as bad as the memes make it seem. In the past year they’ve worked more with Linux developers to provide better drivers. Not perfect, but it’s at least stable.
Installing the Nvidia drivers on Linux isn’t anymore difficult than it is on Windows.
If you haven’t used Linux within the last at couple of two years, then your experience is outdated and not relevant. There have been huge QoL improvements over that time.
You may have disabled copilot, but it installed and integrated into the Win 11 operating system. It takes 1 update to re-enable it without your consent. If there weren’t precedent, that wouldn’t really be a valid argument, but it wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened.
Linux Mint is easier to use out of the box than any version of Windows. It is 100% usable without typing a single terminal command. If you learn apt-get, it extends functionality and is basically 1 command, which again, is optional.
To install applications it’s as simple as opening Software Manager, selecting the app, and installing. The app store is better than whatever windows has installed by a country mile.
On a fresh install it has a full libre office suite, all of the basic apps like calculator, and many others. If you don’t want that, it can be prevented at installation.
It is inherently more secure, and updates won’t revert settings or install malware like Windows updates.
Major version updates will always support old hardware. There will never be a situation like Windows 11 not supporting older hardware.
The only thing the Windows has over Linux is proprietary apps for a lot of products. For the average and most above average users, that’s irrelevant. There are options for most fields but not all. For most people, life exists in a web browser, and that works better on Linux.
There is no way to install windows fresh, have all of those items disabled, and have all of the bloat uninstalled without creating a custom image.
Conservatives and religion. There’s also a strong overlap between the two.
I think that’s a very possible likely hood, but as with most things, there are other factors that could affect the dataset as well.
They did touch on the facial recognition aspect as well. My main thing is, does that make the model racist if the source data is diverse? I’d argue that it’s not, although racist decisions may have lead to a poor dataset.
My only real counter to this is who created the dataset and did the people that were creating the app have any power to affect that? To me, to say something is racist implies intent, where this situation could be that, but it could also be a case where it’s just not racially diverse, which doesn’t necessarily imply racism.
There’s a plethora of reasons that the dataset may be mostly fair skinned. To prattle off a couple that come to mind (all of this may be known, idk, these are ignorant possibilities on my side) perhaps more fair skinned people are susceptible so there’s more data, like you mentioned that dark skinned individuals may have less options to get medical help, or maybe the dataset came from a region with not many dark skinned patients. Again, all ignorant speculation on my part, but I would say that none of those options inherently make the model racist, just not a good model. Maybe racist actions led to a bad dataset, but if that’s out of the devs control, then I wouldn’t personally put that negative on the model.
Also, my interpretation of what racist means may differ, so there’s that too. Or it could have all been done intentionally in which case, yea racist 100%
Edit: I actually read the article. It sounds like they used public datasets that did have mostly Caucasian people. They also acknowledged that fair skinned people are significantly more likely to get melanoma, which does give some credence to the unbalanced dataset. It’s still not ideal, but I would also say that maybe nobody should put all of their eggs in an AI screening tool, especially for something like cancer.
This had been true since at least Reagan. That’s the trickle down economics that’s been touted for 30+ years. It’s always been about making the rich, richer.
It’s always fun when your beliefs are confirmed. If I were to guess the top 10, it would have probably been those listed maybe a dabble of Wisconsin given their lack alcohol laws and enforcement compared to other places.
Lol, I did butcher it. I only Lemmy from my phone, so I’m far more inclined to have typos. When I typed that I remember starting it and clicking on the suggestion to auto fill, but I must not clicked where I thought.
One of my good friends is a senior dev. His company is tracking lines generated by AI and has metrics and goals. It’s absolutely disgusting.
It’s not needed if their argument is based in religion. I would also say, if this person believes that an unborn child is alive and that abortion is bad, then I would suggest this person doesn’t get an abortion. Also, someone else’s medical situation is none of their business.
I personally believe that entertaining someone else’s view on this topic that thinks it should be illegal, is a problem. It’s akin to giving flat earthers a platform to spew their shit. I’m all in on aggressively shaming people for their back ass views, and if they don’t like that, they can fuck off.
I know that’s an emotional response that doesn’t work in places like Congress, but fuck these people. The people writing laws against abortion don’t care what the people have to say. There are very few politicians that actually listen to and represent their constituents. It’s wasted effort to try and have a civilized debate on a topic like abortion with them, because they have already decided what they’re going to do, and nothing any of us says will change it. If I can shame someone enough that they at least shut the fuck up, then that’s at least something, because nobody that’s entrenched in their abortion views are likely to change from one person’s opinion. It’s like Nazis prior to Trump. Clearly, they were always here, hiding in the woodwork waiting for their opening, and trump normalized it.
Microsoft is such trash. It’s truly amazing how much they’ve enshitified over the past 10+ years. Their OS versions have consistently been bad since Win 7, with a minor uptick when win 10 cam out, but that was on the heels of win 8.1, so it mostly was better by comparison. Server hasn’t gotten better, same general product with a worse interface. They oddly duplicate some products like business or personal Skype, OneDrive, new v old teams, and new v old Outlook, the new that still doesn’t work properly even having been out for over a year. The obvious yet egregious spying and data collection on top of the forced ads in the OS that most people have paid for. The hard push to force users to sync everything with OneDrive. It’s all just trash.
Now you have the huge investment in copilot. Anecdotally, it’s also trash and over priced. Every software I use for work has somehow got ties or available ties to copilot and we have initiatives to try and shoehorn that trash into our business. It’s consistently a worse and unpredictable solution across the board. I personally think it’s pretty clear at this point that all of the LLMs have peaked, the huge companies have already surpassed the peak usefulness and accuracy of these models, and now they are trying to claw back as much as they can to recoup loses. It’s not going to be successful, because while tons of businesses are investing, there are far more that won’t or can’t because it’s so price prohibitive. I’m fucking here for it. Watching any company that replaced people with AI or forced users to use it and kept metrics in utilization go under would give me more schadenfreude than I’ve ever experienced.
Oddly specific, butt who am I to kink shame? You do you, or… Rosie do you?
What about her right fist, is that a deal breaker?
I believe so, yes. For the vast majority of people, it will be seamless, same as with Windows.
