Ya'll do realize you can customize what you can/can't see on kbin/lemmy, and your experience is about about how you make it right?
  • The lack of curation is both a blessing and a curse for our community. It’s going to keep our feeds less engaging, which will limit our size. On the other hand, it’s going to keep our feeds less engaging, which will keep us engaging with our real lives more.

  • GPT-4's details are leaked.
  • Yeah but the original Wright Flyer was extremely janky. It took decades before planes were safe enough for the general public to fly on them. I doubt it’s going to take decades for LLM’s to get really good, but it’s undeniable that the current generation of these systems are somewhat lacking in quality

  • Mercedes-Benz adopts Tesla's NACS charging standard
  • CCS2 could certainly be redesigned to support 3 phase power in a smaller form factor if they upsized 2 of the power connectors on the mennekes plug to allow them to carry the dc current (similar to how nacs works). But it works well enough for Europe

  • Mercedes-Benz adopts Tesla's NACS charging standard
  • It says a lot about ccs that all the automakers are switching off of it. Even if the ccs networks weren’t noticeably worse, nacs is smaller, and should make for much easier vehicle packaging designs (see: Tesla nacs in taillights vs ccs behind a big door)

  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been updated to Version 1.2.0
  • I’m still on the version they shipped out at release so I can keep my dupe glitch. Somehow I’ve put in over 200 hours in the game despite being a cheater, and I’m still grinding like crazy. Not sure why Nintendo set the economy the way they did tbh

  • What's your experience with Lemmy since last month?
  • Seems to me like we are close to hitting some kind of critical mass. It’s been amazing seeing things shift from 1-2 posts getting big threads and 100+ upvotes per day to seeing thousands of those. Also seeing over 100 comments on posts created 30 minutes ago has been neat

  • Why did old american movies sound so different?
  • Something that some of the other replies have missed is that older movies were often shot (and a lot of actors were trained) from the perspective of a “stage play for the silver screen.” Stage plays have to work for large audiences, and so they tend to feature more exaggerated voice / body movements. These tricks were used on movies for a long time, but have faded as visual effects and sound recording have gotten better

  • PC speed gains erased by modern software
  • Hasn’t this always been the case? Software development is a balance between efficiency of code execution and efficiency of code creation. 20 years ago people had to code directly in assembly to make games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, but today they can use C++ (or even more abstract systems like Unity)

    We hit the point where hardware is fast enough for most users about 15 years ago, and ever since we’ve been using faster hardware to allow for lazier code creation (which is good, since it means we get more software per man-hour worked)

  • Reddit Won’t Be the Same. Neither Will the Internet
  • You want to know the difference between Reddit and Wikipedia? One of them is for-profit, and one of them is non-profit. Reddit acted like a benevolent entity so long as it worked to help them grow their user base. But they always knew that their user base was their product, and it was inevitable that they would try to monetize it. Wikipedia (and hopefully the lemmyverse) exist solely for their users, and which is why they have basically stuck around as one of the last truly public service websites

    Apollo has ceased working

    Looks like Apollo is now dead boys and girls. Feels like having a loved one die

    Do you invest in International funds?
  • I am not your financial advisor. Be wary of anyone who recommends against diversififying your portfolio, as they either have an agenda, or have gotten their advice from a chain that begins with someone who does. In general, emerging markets are going to be a lot more volitile, and sometimes can crash entirely (examples include Venezuela and Sri Lanka), but if you invest smartly you should see average performance that exceeds a mature market like the one in the US.

    I would recommend checking out robotraders such as Wealthfront, Betterment, Fidelity, etc. These services have algorithms that are more effective than you or I, and they can establish a properly balanced portfolio.

    TL;DR: Unless you are a professional (which you are not, since you are asking this question), use a roboadvisor and don’t worry
