It’s crazy as hell watching that form factor reduce. The early bipeds looked like first generation NASA moon landing suits. That thing looks small enough to fit in clothing you could buy at a local department store.

And while I think the 360 pivoting hips are an interesting touch I really wish they would constrain themselves to human anatomical moves.

That’s not simping, The vast majority of that’s paid marketing.

Epson movario has been the closest thing for the longest time, it’s just too expensive for what I want it for.

I just want the price to come down on a decent comfortable not absolutely ugly AR display. I don’t want AI, I don’t want processing power, I just want to be able to display an app or two off my phone in my field of vision, without occluding the rest of what’s there. But even the nicest of the shittiest solutions are over $800.

Somebody up at Sony had a Jira ticket to update all the eulas and it listed the URLs for each one, instead of going to the URLs and putting the content in each one of the eulas they just slaped the URLs in.

Edit: clarity

Omg did you pull those out of… Dude wash those off first…

When you grow that third arm the production will increase by half by default…

What, no Xitter?

Oh the sweet voice of a reason, they don’t take well to that around here. Good on you.

When I first read this, I was kind of hoping it was in shower thoughts.

Sure it’s getting cheaper, but is it getting cheaper faster than their need for it?

I’ve always expected their business model was unsustainable probably only able to manage through venture capital and growth.

There’s hardly even any competition, their free product is substantial. Even fully funding a server is barely enough to cover a bare metal node.

This is just the introduction to cost savings. As they wade into market saturation, and still need to provide growth in numbers they’ll need to pinch the free users into paying and pinch the paying users into paying enough to fully fund the service. Of course it won’t stop there…

Edit: FFS dictation can’t ‘their’ it’s way out of a wet paper bag.

Tyler Folse explains how it’s related to a nuclear reactor.

With the pyrolysis or the other couple of methods they worked out it actually turns it back into a raw material that can be reused to make new plastic. It’s not as cheap as the methods where they just kind of heated up and melt it back together to become lawn furniture, but it leads to a quality plastic replacement product

I’ve been kind of hoping with just use renewables to do pyrolysis on waste plastic and turn it back into oil. It’s extremely power hungry to do it but we’ve got power to spare.

Yeah, it’s about barrier to entry. Any question will bypass dumb automation, even hard captcha is defeated by a Task Rabbit or Fiverr job to make 10 accounts and post some s#!t

Probably at some point in the future, the automation tools they’re using will support throwing in a GPT API token. But AI calls aren’t free so maybe we’ll squeak by.

There’s also the real possibility that if somebody is actually using AI the bot text will be good enough that nobody will know for certain it’s a bot.

I can’t comprehend how they give so few f’s about their image as to even contemplate that in public.

I hate to be a back in my day kinda person, but there was a time at which large family-friendly companies were concerned enough with their image not to pull that shit, at least out loud.

I would kill for an in-and-out burger on the East Coast. You can get a burger, fries, and drink for less than an Five Guys cheeseburger.

Even FG is unreasonable.

My wife and 6YO kid went to FG last week and spent $27 on a meal for two and they split the fries.

A few ounces of meat, 50 cents of soda, a couple potatoes and an arguably 2 nice quality rolls. That meal cost them $5. Even with inflated labor it should be more like $15.

The coolest and most frightening thing about all that is the number of books they train the models on are immense, but the model data is very tiny comparatively. And while the compression is amazingly lossy it still has an amazing amount of the data in there.

To nvidas credit, The training models do not contain the contents of the books, but they can still tell you intimate details about the books without it being able to provide a photographic reproduction of everything in the book.

We’ve literally created something that can analyze books in the same way that we read them and retain the same lossy levels of information. That’s honestly pretty f****** amazing.

Obviously intellectual property laws aren’t designed for this. Hell even our concept of intellectual property isn’t designed for this. If this was a corporation that hired a thousand people to read a bunch of books and be on tap for queries about the information in those books nobody would complain. One copy of each book purchased would be enough to cover the intellectual property restrictions for this.

Also obviously this isn’t what happened and people see money lying on the table.

Maybe this will be the straw the causes them to port librelec to it
