Well, somebody has to go to jail if catastrophic decisions are made and you can't jail AI. We very often see CEOs being jailed in the real world, so the pay is actually a very fair compensation for the risk.
16GB is _not_ sufficient if you have Jellyfin or Immich or similar and a lot of media you want to scroll through quickly; I've found I need a lot of ZFS cache for that to be as responsive as I want, even with SSD storage.
Wonder when the TrumpDrone "made in america" will be announce. Just like the TrumpPhone, no doubt it'll end up being made in China. The jokes really do write themselves.
When you look at the actual list of those 4, it's not as hard to understand any more.
It's Firefox, Dillo, Links2 and Netsurf GTK :)
Dillo is something I'd love to daily drive like I did 20 years ago, but it would just fail on most modern websites. But it's what, 2MB in total (binary+libraries)?
Links2 is text terminal oriented. No modern browser can do that natively at all. All competition is even smaller (w3m, lynx). Plus links2 can run in graphics mode, even on a framebuffer, so you can run it without X server at all.
So Fx is the only "general purpose" browser on that list, but is just too big for old hardware.
I find it disturbing how long people wait to accept basic truths, as if they need permission to think or believe a particular outcome will occur.
It was quite obvious that AI was hype from the get-go. An expensive solution looking for a problem.
The cost of hardware. The impact on hardware and supply chains. The impact to electricity prices and the need to scale up grid and generation capacity. The overall cost to society and impact on the economy. And that's without considering the basic philosophical questions "what is cognition?" and "do we understand the preconditions for it?"
All I know is that the consumer and general voting population loose no matter the outcome. The oligarchs, banking, government and tech-lords will be protected. We will pay the price whether it succeeds or fails.
My personal experience of AI has been poor. Hallucinations, huge inconsistencies in results.
If your day job exists within an arbitrary non-productive linguistic domain, great tool. Image and video generation? Meh. Statistical and data-set analysis. Average.
Just like .com bust from companies going online, there is hype, but there is also real value.
Even slow non-tech legacy industry companies are deploying chatbots across every department - HR, operations, IT, customer support. All leadership are already planning to cut 50 - 90% of staff from most departments over next decade. It matters, because these initiatives are receiving internal funding which will precipitate out to AI companies to deploy this tech and to scale it.
The "legacy" industry companies are not immune from hype. Some of those AI initiatives will provide some value, but most of them seem like complete flops. Trying to deploy a solution without an idea of what the problem or product is yet.
Well, it's still powered by the old codebase doing slot-filling named entity/intent detection that will route you to safari the moment it gets stuck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
no, it's very useful for setting timers and for setting garbled reminders for a soon enough time that I'll remember what I actually meant rather than being confused by whatever it spewed out instead!
I quite often login to routers/firewalls to pull the ARP and Route Tables. If there was an option to add an API Key + REGEX + HOST/s for processing with a one-click button that'd be rad
I have not seen it until just now, but graphs are coming! I don't think they will be quite as front-and-center as PingDoctor, but you will clearly see history.
Hmmm... explain more. API key for what? Are we talking about looking into a Meraki or Juniper platform using API and pulling those? Or logging into a local device?
