Especially when they could stream the exact same game from a device costing 1/7th as much. The potential to watch sports is not exclusive to this garbage device.
You could watch the exact same game from ten seats back for 1/7th as much, but why are you angry about it?
R2-D2 should be in my spellchecker apparently.
But operating a computer on a virtual screen?
It's actually really good at this and is my favorite way to use it, particularly when I'm not at home. It ends up being a large, high resolution screen that you can sit comfortably on a couch and work with. I spend a lot of time coding in this environment.
It's video games that I'm not sold on yet. It's great at RTS/factory/flight sim games, or when you can stand still and shoot/slap/etc. It's not great when you're moving.
I agree, a sweet spot for it would be large, high resolution 2D virtual screen for a PS/xbox/switch if they could nail the latency and throughput requirements. Export some console screenshots and clips to your phone's photo library and open them in the Vision Pro, makes me drool.
Then build up from there with companion features that render alongside the remote display, for example, the controller light bar to start with, could be sent to the headset and rendered in the frame of the window or something like that. Games that use the controller speaker to play found tapes, those could be full blown found footage videos or R2DT holographic videos that render outside the main window. So much untapped potential if they'd collaborate on becoming an enhanced viewing experience for all the things instead of trying to be a software platform first.
Yeah, I keep saying I'm done with slashdot. But for the "editors" to continue allowing garbage like this with straight-up lying headlines... I'm finally done. I deal with enough brainwashed anti-open-source mouth breathers at work. Why do I keep coming back to it here on a so-called tech news website that can't even get basic facts straight?
Good thing HN has a pretty good signal-to-noise ratio. See you all there!
What part of the headline is misleading? Where are you confused. The article is about an advanced malware package that is cloud aware and container aware. It shouldn't be surprising, just a reminder that yes your managed kubernetes deployments are also considered targets, duh.
Malware and attack payloads for Linux servers do exist, because they do get infiltrated, and they are definitely targeted. What is even controversial about ANY of that?
i kept looking for initial deployment but i guess it is done via gaining control or access through unpatched or some other vulnerability
... that's why it's called malware. It's bad software. It's the second stage that comes after a system has been compromised
If that were even half true, Grok wouldn't need continual manual adjustments to make Musk happy, would it.
So then the excuses shift to "but, the whole internet and literary word and magazines and media and written content has a liberal conspiracy bias", and grok has no choice but to take it, or a cabal of liberal xai deep state employees are responsible for embarrassing Musk, or you're ultimately forced to deal with the fact that while you're completely free to train Grok on all of the most illiberal speech you can find anywhere, it turns into 4chan and sucks.
That's how we end up with reality having a liberal bias because after you filter out everything you call a progressive framing, or left-leaning tendencies, you're left with just garbage. But don't take my word for it, keep twisting the dials on Grok until it sounds right, LOL.
Have LLMs killed the goose that laid the golden egg? They need to be trained on data from sites like SO, but if no one is asking new questions, there won't be any new answers, and so no new training data will become available. And if all the traffic to SO is training bots, they won't make any money from ad revenue, and so they're toast.
Why would people stop asking new questions? Either LLMs have answers for everything, or they don't and people will ask questions somewhere else. You can't have it both ways.
SO isn't the last place on the internet to find an audience that might have an answer to a question you can't get answered any other way. If LLMs answer ENOUGH questions where the profitability of running a dedicated Q&A site is impossible, people will ask hard questions on special interest sites, blog comments, GitHub, slack, discord, Reddit, etc. Even the least searchable of those eventually surface in some bro's blog, which is then index by search engines and LLM training data.
I think more people are doing hints-in-comments these days because they don't want their responses sucked up by the LLMs
All that does is hurt classic search and help LLMs.
I still find it hard to understand why that's so difficult for generative AI boosters to grasp. How will it be more accurate in 2035 if most of the information it bases its output on comes from 2025?
This is not hard. What do you do when Google doesn't get you what you need. How does Google get more accurate if everybody just googles stuff.
You go to official documentation pages, to official user community forums, and then to unofficial community sites like SO, github, reddit, slack, discord, etc. Future accuracy will depend on availability of those sources, same problem search engines have today. Something might be provided on an unindexed corporate slack channel, then it migrates to some blog. Because people will not stop self promoting their ability to find stupid things and blog about it.
Centralized Q&A content will eventually migrate from dedicated sites to general purpose ones probably, or to more diverse special interest sites. We've seen this cycle of Q&A sites flaring up and petering out a hundred times already, it's not new. Walk through this with me, you find an obscure Perl problem something new with something old doesn't work. AI doesn't have an answer. Google doesn't have an answers. ZOMFG, stackoverflow is no more! Where do you go next??11! So all of those options for finding a community and posing questions are out there, and the future accuracy of AI and search both depend on access to them. But don't act like you're totally helpless with no place to go.
While not as clean as an electric vehicle, hybrids offer sneaky carbon cuts as well. Americans, on average, drive about 38 miles a day, which requires about one gallon of gas in most basic hybrids. Contemporary plug-in hybrids, which can run on all-battery power, can cover almost that entire range without the gas engine kicking in.
Hybrids will average 40, 50, 60 whatever mpg, which is great, but a plugin hybrid's larger battery doesn't turn it into an electric car. The combined power of the car is from all motors, and you're not going to like driving an SUV 38 miles on half or a quarter its total power output, whatever the configuration is. If you don't want to waste gas, you just go easy on the throttle and the car will use only the power output you need from any combination of the motors.
I think where a plugin hybrid makes more sense is when you have longer commutes, and lots of constant speed driving. Where you'd put an older standard in overdrive. That's where a regular hybrid will eventually use all its battery up and cycle back and forth between gas + charging the battery and short periods of battery only. A hybrid might drop from 55 to 50, and a plugin hybrid on the same trip might start averaging better 55 to 60+, something like that. Every hybrid is different though, a 400 HP combined, split 50/50 might be OK electric only, but a 200HP combined SUV or a 100ish car ehhh.. no, expect the combined MPG rating +/- depending on how you drive, the MPGe on those is marketing.
"The fungus, which can spread easily in healthcare settings such as hospitals and nursing homes" - huh? Settings like these are supposed to be MUCH cleaner and germ free than, say, a typical household. Why can fungus spread easily in these environments that are supposed to be as close as possible to sterile?
Confucius say, bathroom can be cleanest room in house, it still has all your shit
The Caracas operation is what they hoped the invasion of Ukraine would look like: no air defense, little will to fight, an internal coup, quick removal of the leader, followed by occupation. Instead, they got stuck in a four year war, taking heavy economic and population losses
Except there wasn't a coup, and there isn't an occupation. The same party is running the country, and the VP took over. It's like a hostage situation now.
I'm not sure how anybody believes economic cooperation can follow. If the same had happened in Ukraine they'd be fighting for sovereignty under a different leader because kidnapping the Ukrainian president isn't going to coerce the rest of the country into favorable trade terms with Russia or make it cease looking for a defense compact elsewhere, and it's asinine to think so.
The most likely goal is coercing Venezuela into accepting deportees en masse. It's an administration goal and it's a realistic objective you could hope to achieve without actually going through the effort of occupying and taking control of the country.
Are tariffs having the desired effect? Specifically onshoring?
Seems like a good thing to me. But, I'm sure that this thread will be filled with outraged individuals who are totally not Chinese agents.
You have some things really mixed up. China's export restrictions (in response to the earlier tariffs) did that. It was all over Fox News because Trump responded with 100% tariffs and then they both backed down. That's how big a deal access to them is. It's not so much that we want rare earth processing here, it's dirty and doesn't make much money, it's that we don't want it all from China. Rare earth processing investments are a big part of our trade deals with other countries.
They're raw materials used in manufacturing electronics. We need them because we require some stuff to be made here, like for defense or auto components, etc. I'm not sure how jacking the price of the raw materials helps anything, the stuff we pay more for already because we make them here, or the electronics manufacturing you'd actually hope to bring here. Buying cheap TVs and monitors from Korea is a good deal, not Chinese propaganda, you retard.
The prevailing wisdom of the last couple of decades is that, in even fairly prosperous societies, the mere fact that there are very rich people makes others miserable, even if all of their needs are being met.
Then why are you so miserable when those yuppies from California bought up all the housing inventory and made your property taxes go up? You couldn't get your driveway paved because all the crews were busy on bigger projects? Cost of lumber went up too much to finish your deck because out of state assholes bought all the new home construction?
Ooooooh, ok, "that's different(TM)", that's not rich people existing. That's rich people
That's what increasing wealth disparity looks like. It's ok buddy, you can call it inflation, it's like a special inflation that increases the dollars you spend but not the dollars you make... lol
Meanwhile $150,000 is the new $100,000, but your $30,000 is still $30,000? ahh shucks. But hey your needs are still being met right, then stfu.
For the record, I actually have a lot of empathy for people of all economic means. If I didn't care, I wouldn't take the time to repeatedly explain that if inflation makes your expenses go up, but not your pay, the wealth gap just increased. That's not just inflation. It does you no good to fight over what to call it, it's the same thing. TFS says as much FFS you morons. It says inequality exacerbates the effects of inflation. It doesn't matter which one you point the finger at or what you call it.
Observationally, it seems to me that "inequality' only matters when the total pie stops growing fast enough. Then people become obsessed with how the pie is divided rather than how they can help grow it
Here's the fun thing with pie analogies. How are you slicing it?
If the purchasing power in the rich people slice is reduced 10%, they buy fewer vacation homes. If the purchasing power of the poor people slice is reduced, they are fucked in the ass dry.
What's the dry end of a pie you certainly must be asking yourself. That's the crust. So we cut the pie in concentric rings from the inside out. Warm gooey center upper class, firm tasty middle, then you have the end of pie, the crust.
The total pie growing fast enough has nothing to do with it. It can grow, it can shrink. The only thing that matters is how many people you're feeding crust to.
So yah, when that, particular, slice isn't growing, those people get really upset about how the pie is cut, maybe because everyone else just unsubs from a streaming service while they make harder choices. And then you blame them for not helping to grow your pie. How's that work?
APL hackers do it in the quad.
