@tomshardware I'm with Apple (and folks like Gary Marcus and Rao Kambhampati) on this one, but let's assume Kwon is right. Is that actually better? Is it really better if the reason ChatGPT can't beat an Atari 2600 at tasks outside its training set isn't that ML is inherently limited to the specific things it's trained on, but rather because it needs more computing power to do it?

🚨🚨🚨🚨 A nurse at UCLA Ronald Reagan hospital informed my friend that ICE was going through the UC system and there is a high likelihood that they raid all UC hospitals today.

Please spread the word 🙏

This amazing shade from the South Africans

What are some really good orgs or voices you are working with or following for #NoKings day?
Some of ours:

@indivisibleteam @rbreich @demsmight @tusk81 @meidastouch @GottaLaff @newrepublic @vincedmonroy @georgetakei @mastodonmigration @stevebenen
Who else?

Nintendo Switch 2? Galaxy S25 Edge?

Around here, we're most excited about the MNT Reform laptop that, after much anticipation, just arrived at our doorstep.

Among many repair-friendly features, this laptop uses standardized 18650 batteries, which makes finding replacements incredibly easy. Opening it up to swap them out is easy, too.

Shout out to @mntmn, @theawesomerandomness, @liaizon, @holo_memory, @plom, @bnys, Tina the dog, and everyone else who put together this incredible product!

@Nonilex Is this one of those things that can pass the Senate with a simple majority, or do they need 60 votes?

I know they can abolish the filibuster any time they feel like it, and I'm sure they will eventually, but I'm not sure whether they'd do it over this.

@danwentzel "Do you really think half the country is fascist?"

I mean, yeah, of course I do. Look around.

"When you call Donald Trump a fascist, that means you are calling all of his supporters fascists!" - Random MAGA

Good. It means that I am expressing myself clearly and accurately.

@GoNintendo What, they sat down and watched the last two Avengers movies?

True story.

@adamparkhomenko.bsky.social And if there's one thing you can say about the National Guard, it's that they're definitely not getting paid.

@thetnholler.bsky.social Welp, I've got my bet for who's getting fired tomorrow.

@indiewire This time he won't need makeup.

All millennials want is to be paid a small monthly stipend by an embarrassed duke so that they may live out their days in obscurity and dissipation in some unfashionable resort on the Continent

🤣 🤣

Yes, it's good to have a bot to offload the work onto when you're short-handed. But who left you short-handed in the first place?

And how sure can you be that you're not going to be just as short-handed AGAIN, as soon as corporate figures out exactly how finely they can pare the flesh down to the bone WITH AI assistance?

I'm glad those folks have a tool that abstracts away the most odious parts of their job. But I could wish we didn't make it so odious in the FIRST place.

3,800-hour test could show OLED burn-in is on the decline — MSI MPG 321URX shows only 'minor' issues after 15 months of worst-case scenario use

A video chronicling the degradation of an OLED monitor over time has just been published, offering a 15-month update, and things aren't too bad.

@boor You know, it's okay if you don't know the answer. I don't know the answer either! I haven't installed Linux on a Mac since the early Intel days.

But maybe you shouldn't tell people they should install Linux on their Macs if you're not prepared to answer even the simplest followup question?
