Healthcare before the current admin did recommend both. You’ve got a really bad doctor/Healthcare support system if they aren’t telling you eating healthy and exercise do a lot for your wellbeing.
The big issue is that medical research is a lot harder and more expensive than just “be healthy”. Cutting back funding/efforts there has long term cascading effects.
Am I missing something? SQLite is great, but it isn’t really comparable to most other SQL databases, unless you’re talking about nosql alternatives?
They probably want that, but also at the same time, that would kill software development.
My example was just to highlight that the “average user” may not be as technically capable as many in this thread propose. But that’s also why I called out I may be underestimating the average user.
It’s possible that I underestimate the average user, but I did work IT at one point in my life and I still vividly recall needing to point out to someone that their computer wasn’t turning on becuase it wasnt plugged in.
Usability.
Windows and Mac are both easier to use for the standard user.
I’m a technical person and even I struggle with what/how the hell I’m supposed to even install applications on Linux:
Should I download the binaries? Should I use snap/flatpak/etc? If I do one vs the other which is more up to date? If I can’t find it in the software store can I trust random online sites?
And that’s just finding applications. Most people don’t have hours of free time to read forums to understand how to fix something that broke (assuming the distro they choose even has a thread relating to the issue).
Yeah, I don’t know why this is so difficult. Can even have players that autoread the signature to tell you the source/etc.
Yeah, I was going to say that TV wasn’t much of a news source to begin with. The real issue is that social media for news is probably worse - now everyone can be spoonfed the news they want.
Pretty much anything handling unstructed data (audio, video, text) is using training data that has copyrighted content.
Star trek touches on it a bit. Some people definitely still cook in the shows, but it’s almost seen as a thing for special occasions.
Definitely, and that’s why hard/strict laws or rules can be dangerous. Much like the famous “I know it when I see it” judgment on obscenity.
The biggest issue with this line of thinking is, how do you prove it’s CP without a victim. I suppose at a certain threshold it becomes obvious, but that can be a very blurry line (there was a famous case where a porn star had to be flown to a court case to prove the video wasn’t CP, but can’t find the link right now).
So your left with a crime that was committed with no victim and no proof, which can be really easy to abuse.
Edit: This is the case I was thinking of - https://nypost.com/2010/04/24/a-trial-star-is-porn/
That’s always been the issue with laws like this, just causes people to find worse things.
Banning alcohol lead to people dying from bootleg. Making drugs illegal lead to things like people huffing paint (maybe cost too).
I think the issue is they hit market saturation and haven’t been able to develop any real revenue streams beyond the sale of devices (which is one time cost while maintenance and development constantly drain them of any profit).
I suspect the increased enshitification is because they need other revenue streams. Just take a look at their stock price and it doesn’t paint a great picture for them.
Can’t wait to find out it was just a guy in a suit.
I mean Meta opened up Llama for free a while ago. But at the end of the day, the AI models posed to actually impact things are those integrated or integrateable into workflows, and those are all still more or less locked down.
LLMs are general purpose models trained on text. The thougbt is they should be able to address anything that can be represented in a textual format.
While you could focus the model by only providing specific types of text, the general notion is they should be able to handle tasks ranging across different domains/disciplines.
Then why mention his name at all. It’s just like the covid checks, Trump demands/wants the attention.
I think it’s more there is a precedence of the government blocking software they think is a threat - https://cmmcinfo.org/list-of-hardware-software-and-services-banned-by-us-government/
We give the government a lot of leeway when it comes to “national security”
Also, we’re not the first country to ban it - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-happened-when-india-banned-tiktok
I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go
