Playstation games over the years have used X for confirm in many (western) regions. I’m not sure the origin of this but it was always that way growing up.

Circle was used in Japan. Localisations like Final Fantasy using circle were the exceptions to the rule (I guess it was too hard to change it?)

X being confirm for everybody is a relatively recent thing

I’m running Ubuntu on a Surface Laptop Studio. I really like it, though I have not yet gotten the touchscreen and pen working.

If I figure it out (and I remember) I’ll let you know.

I see no evidence of these “girls” you speak of 🤔

Iceland figured this out some years ago, and now they make heaps exporting computing power to international AI compute buyers.

They do it with a naturally cold climate, and loads of geo-thermal power.

I think Zuck is right about this, insofar as the comments in the article are concerned.

OpenAI have done a brilliant job of selling the dream - but there will not be one “god model,” - there will be many specialised, smaller models.

You can already see it going that way with new hardware shipping with NPU’s. These workloads are expensive to run and shipping them to your device is a top priority.

Winchester? 🤷‍♂️

For me it’s a pragmatic desire to share information with as few megacorporations as possible.

I deal with MSFT for so many other things, not all by choice - and Edge does everything I need it to do.

As with many such questions, it’s about the trade-off you are prepared to accept.

This can’t be real?

First of all it’s almost certainly torture and human rights violations.

Secondly, never mind freedom of speech - now you can’t even have your thoughts to yourself.

Fuck. That.

Unfortunately they care more about spying on us themselves.

Do you know if there people who have gone this far analysing the TikTok and WeChat apps?

All I want to know is what do these Temu people think my life is like?

Here I am on a laptop with no ethernet ports (probably works over USB-C? No idea, haven’t tried), and a single wifi adapter. Guess I’ll give it a try:

ip link show

What I expected

wlan0

What I got

wlp242s0

Neat 👍 😎 👍

What about a mimetic polyalloy though?

Communists!

Oh wait…

I get what your saying, in that open source projects normally have a licence that applies to how it’s used - but this has always been open to abuse.

Nothing has ever stopped things like this happening - see how industry has taken advantage of open source for decades (often productising things as their own in the process).

As in, will the USA be still after him? What role will he play in the public sphere now that he is free?

Etc.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out - really feels like it’s been in a holding pattern for 5+ years.

They can meet up with the Cameroonian and Iraqi olympic teams for lunch.

If it’s a public repo do they need permission?

Not saying this is good, but you can’t really argue that it’s not a natural consequence of open source.

Can they dump mine please?
