The WWW is older than the EU, though the general public became aware of it in the same year the Maastricht Treaty was signed. The principle of hypertext is older than the WWW, though. I had hypertext software on DOS, it "only" didn't link to other computers. That's an obvious extension, though. And it literally is obvious, because people were doing similar things with Unix, via rcp and uucp. For example, there were automated UUCP info gateways. You'd send them mail and they'd send you dynamic data.

In what way is pointing out that Musk is a Nazi a defense of a POTUS who is also a Nazi?

" In some cases, the AI model will generate further copies by how it responds to prompts, "

In no cases, you mean. It creates some close variants which might be considered derivative works, though.

Evaporative cooling. The water is lost to the atmosphere. The total power budget for your query includes a percentage of the energy it took to train the model. Just serving your query isn't all that expensive, but the training time is.

For me, the game I cannot play is Rust. Yes you can run it just fine, and yes there are maybe a couple of servers you can play on, and they have anticheat disabled. There are popular anticheat systems which work on Linux, EAC being one of them, and I've got a lot of games with online components and anticheat which do work very well. I was surprised by the percentage of my various game libraries* which could be easily installed via Lutris and work just fine. Most of them have very good performance as well.

A handful of Steam games don't run and more don't run well without Proton-GE, but a lot of games work without any addons at all. And speaking of addons, they are mostly easy to manage using steamtinkerlaunch, which supports both Vortex and MO2. There are definitely game mods which don't work well with Wine or Proton, mostly ones which have very specific runtime requirements. Some of those don't run well even with the runtimes installed with wine/protontricks.

* For a while there, Humble Bundles were awesome, and a lot of those games were on services which I never would have otherwise patronized.

...all of them which don't involve human effort are bullshit, because only humans can suitably detect the hallucinations.

Your calculator is executing a simple and provable algorithm, the LLM is executing a complex and non-provable one because the inputs are too varied. They are fundamentally different things. Your calculator is limited, but predictable and thus reliable.

No. The technology doesn't do that. Instead of whatever ineffable process we use to correlate things in ways that make sense, it only and solely correlates things in ways which look like they make sense. You cannot train your way out of this problem, an entirely new technology is needed. Maybe to replace this, maybe only to augment it, but still fundamentally different.

Yes, now is part of always. Why is this even part of the discussion?

Starting to? This is how it's always worked.

Are you stuck in a time loop or something? That might explain your confusion over these words...

The tool can't do the job because it's not thinking, which is why people keep bringing that up. Think about it before complaining!

They are stuffed with statistics about more of the subject matter than you're familiar with, which is not the same thing as knowing. Even if you trained them only and exclusively on correct information presented logically, they would still hallucinate bullshit that looks as statistically likely as factual information.

An LLM could be a guide to a real encyclopedia with actual facts, but if you trained it on the encyclopedia instead of having it citing it, it would still hallucinate horseshit.

You had me at "care"

As someone who had the B&W G3 Macintosh and was told by Apple "yes we fucked up the ATA controller, the same chip works OK in Sun US5 workstations but we botched hooking it up, and you can either buy an add-in card or use FWB Toolbox to slow down your devices by putting them into PIO mode so you don't get data corruption, and no we won't replace the logic board we fucked up" I know Apple DGAF in general. And hey, tie-in, that machine had firewire onboard.

I don't think they have to give them anything, more people will buy their game if it is certified. This has already been a thing for Steam Deck Certified titles, which doesn't even mean much.

No.

Longer answer, you could buy lots of third party displays that worked perfectly well with Macintosh computers (and you still can) so that also means Apple can fail to sell you a display by not integrating it.

The iPad is absolutely capable of running Mac OS, but it's artificially restricted from doing so, in an effort to make you buy Mac OS. And there are Macintoshes which could easily run iOS, but they don't let you do that.

This distinction was created artificially and intentionally both to enforce a certain style of use and to sell more devices. The first thing is a marketing decision, that's understandable and even reasonable. The second thing is also a marketing decision which is also understandable, but repugnant.

There's no reason why Apple could not have simply let you run in both modes on both kinds of hardware, allowing you to choose, and to provide user interface standards for both types of interface — and allow apps to implement one thing or both. And there's no reason why they can't switch to doing that.

The question of whether they should be forced to do so is a lot more complicated, and even I'm not sure they should. But it's telling that Android is embracing Linux as the devices continue to get closer together, while Apple is still trying to distance their platforms from one another. But they're ultimately doing their customers a deliberate disservice. As Linux continues to improve, perhaps more slowly than it "should" but still doing so, there becomes less reason to stick with their artificially limited forced duality.

That's what the iDevices are now. They're artificially limited to try to get people to buy both an iDevice and a Macintosh.
