Nowadays most programmers don't need to care about working with bits directly. And in general, it's much better if the system is aligned with literally every other measurement unit in meaning. I also think it's oftentimes deceiving exactly because it's so close to 1000 that you just behave like it is, untill it actually starts making a difference at larger scales.
I think that for most people in 99% of usecases it would be better for MB to actually mean mega, and for the 1% you can clarify with MiB that it's 1024.
You absolutely can build 1000MB storage, literally almost all SSDs to my knowledge use SI units for storage (meaning 1TB = 1000GB). E.g. here, first link I found https://www.crucial.com/ssd/t705/CT2000T705SSD5
This is a stupid article. Fuck Elon, but I mean who cares how he streams? He's streaming like that exactly because he's rich and doesn't need to give a shit. I find it funny how every suggestion is like "he should have paid someone to do it for him", maybe he wants to do it himself? This is entertainment for him.
Sure, he has zero taste or knowledge of streaming/proper gaming setups, but he doesn't care and neither should you.
I mean it is poetic that it happened immediately after he did that, and it's definitely a stupid decision, but this almost certainly didn't have anything to do with that decision. That's an action whose consequences won't start to materialize till much later on.
Haven't tried any other similar product (except the pro version), but I have the Remarkable 2 and in my experience it's pretty good as an e reader as well. Maybe expensive for just using it as an e-reader but you can also use it as a note taking device. It's pretty big but still really thin and light, so it's a pretty good reading experience especially if you have bigger hands, some people may find it too big as an e-reader tho, but I really like the size.
One recommendation I can make is that if you are interested in it, if you have the money consider the pro version. If notetaking matters to you, the little I experienced writing on the pro version was so much better. The pen is much better as well as the tracking. My version tends to be off by about a millimeter at some places and the edges. This becomes extremely frustrating when you're trying to e.g. dot the i-s and you keep missing where you want to write. From what I saw, the pro version is much better at this and is in colour.
Here's mine. Might need to repaste it tho, the fans are literally always running pretty noticably loudly and CPU temps are at ~49° even though it's idiling all the time at max 1%-2% CPU usage.
On a side note - is it normal for Redis to always be using 1-2% CPU even when there's no traffic?
Me reading the title: oh it's probably out of context, looking at it objectively he definitely wasn't stupid if he knew how to manipulate people that well, he was just evil
Honestly? Sure. The NATO shield will still exist so it doesn't affect the security of European countries much, and it only reduces American military influence abroad by reducing their capabilities to respond to events in the region, so what do we care? We should be investing more in defense regardles of whether the Americans pull out or not.
My personal experience has been frustrating each time. I've tried to switch over at least 3 times over the years, but I always gave up. This time, I installed Ubuntu and immediately had to spend 3 hours trying to get my Xbox controler dongle to work, but just couldn't do it. Found a driver online that people said would work, it didn't because it wasn't properly signed, tried to sign it but the signing app just didn't create the certificates needed. Gave up, I have Bluetooth so I'd live, though I'd rather use the dongle if I can.
I then immediately encounter another problem that couldn't be fixed (for the life of me I can't remember what it was exactly) and just gave up.
The previous time I tried it I remember that among other things, one of my main problems was the lack of clipboard history (which I use extremely often). I tried installing an app for it but all of them either didn't work or didn't work the way I want them to or I just didn't like their look and feel.
I also hate the font rendering on Linux, it always looks blurry compared to Windows, and the double titlebars most apps have (e.g. Discord, at least on Ubuntu), I like my screen real-estate.
Look at it in another way, people think this is the start of an actual AI revolution, as in full blown AGI or close to it or something very capable at least. Personally I don't think we're anywhere near something like that with the current technology, I think it's a dead end, but if there's even a small possibility of it being true, you want to invest early because the returns will be insane if it pans out. Full blown AGI would revolutionize everything, it would probably be the next industrial revolution after the internet.
Might be an unpopular take, but I'm not interested much in exploring in this case. I feel like the Doom Eternal gameplay was perfect for me - fast paced, fun and full of action with great visuals. Maybe I'm wrong and this turns out even better, but I feel like they nailed the formula with the last one.
I mean, they are right. Asside the question of whether we can even make meaningfully better models by just using LLMs and more data and what the future of AI will look like, and whether it's ethical or not to steal the data, it is quite possible that OpenAI and the like will get into legal trouble because of the methods they use for acquiring data, but Chinese companies won't have to worry about that. If more data = better models then China has an obvious advantage.
I think it's actually Bing or Google, used to be just Bing. But the searches are anonymised and not tied to user profiles (as well as the ads), so I like it more since I'm at least not giving Google all of my data.
