Yes, but many things can be mapped to “language”, let’s say a grammar describing state machines, so it can be used to generate control actions.

Transformer models etc. are not only useful for conversational AI and translations.

I’d be fine with the approach as part of research advancing the field, but unfortunately, that’s not what we’re seeing.

Congratulations, this is how you get exploited by corporations.

Who says you can’t check their outputs? It’s much faster to e. g. read a generated text than to write everything yourself. Same applies to translations, they’ve been excellent for quite a while now.

Business communication can be handled effortlessly by AI. Of course you read the result before you send it out, but that takes an order of a magnitude less time than formulating and typing all those meaningless sentences.

And honestly, that’s a perfect use case for AI. I wouldn’t compose a love letter to my family using AI, but a pamphlet, feature description, sales pitch, any bullshit presentation deck? You bet AI excels at those.

Same applies to content summaries that help augment search indices. Finding a large number of content candidates (e. g. videos) and have AI summarize the contents of said videos to narrow down the search is helpful and works today.

I’m not looking for AGI. I’m looking for tools to make my life easier, but in an ethical manner that doesn’t advance the destruction of the planet at an exponential rate, just for some tech bro to jerk it and buy another yacht.

Those numbers are baseless exaggerations. There are plenty of tasks which they solve perfectly, today. It’s just that a bunch of dicks operate them, and the cost of operating them are way too high.

Also:

• environmental impact of AI
• unethical acquisition of training data
• dichotomy of how conservative politics treat AI company and private copyright law
• “undress AI” and deepfakes

It’s not that they’re not useful, that’s just nonsense.

Ah shit. I swear to god, this just happened to me. I came to the comments, confused why a trailer for Outer Wilds 2 would be age-restricted.

Ugh.

But then again, you cleared up my confusion, so I guess there’s that.

1. Quiet comes into frame, PoV happens to focus on the bucket so the first thing that to end up in the center are her boobs
2. Quiet leaves, someone thought the player needed a power zoom on her ass and added a matching sound to it
3. They made her hum and dance in a jail cell, while randos in the background mumble Oh, she’s a hot girl, what I wouldn’t do…

Honestly, the zoom gets me the most. Why was that added? How do you get away with something like that?

Most people will run a post 2.6 kernel, so prlimit will be available as an interesting alternative to ulimit.

When asked what location fans wanted as a fighting stage, one very popular answer was Waffle House. Context: if you crash at WH after a long night out, you’re guaranteed to witness some drunken fighting.

Man, I’d love a Waffle House stage.

It absolutely does, on Android at least. On iOS, given Apple’s restrictions, the whole situation is a bit more complicated:

I don’t know what your previous setup was, but given that running resolved fixes your DNS issues, run:

ln -sf ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

This will point programs that use /etc/resolved.conf during DNS resolution to the local DNS server provided by systemd-resolved.

Then, enable resolved so that it is started when you reboot:

systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

Finally, start the service so that it is available immediately:

systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

You will want it run those with the required permissions, e. g. via sudo.

I was not ready for how many stock photos they produced.

The parent comment is correct. CODE is the server, you need the “Collabora Online app” for document editing. I’m not aware if there are alternatives to the ownCloud / Nextcloud apps.

I have no idea about the current state of AI tools, in particular I know absolutely nothing about the plethora of models people self-host and run.

Is this completely generative, or AI face swapped? What tools were used in the creation?

Yes, that is absolutely correct.

I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela specifically.

The one I use pretty much looks like this:

It’s an organic fair trade brand, but I’d have to look up where it is imported from.

As I said, I can’t imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.

The key to amazing banana bread is to make it with soft, brown sugar. The stuff that is clumpy, glistening with moisture, reminiscent of molasses. It adds so much to the flavor. And actual nuts, of course.

I’ll post some links, but it’s a pretty busy week for me already, so give me some time.

An interrupt is an input that can be triggered to interrupt normal execution. It is used for e. g. hardware devices to signal the processor something has happened that requires timely processing, so that real-time behavior can be achieved (for variable definitions of real-time). Interrupts can also be triggered by software, and this explanation is a gross oversimplification, but that information is what is most likely relevant and interesting for your case at this point.

The commands you posted will sort the interrupts and output the one with the highest count (via head -1), thereby determining the interrupt that gets triggered the most. It will then disable that interrupt via the user-space interface to the ACPI interrupts.

One of the goals of ACPI is to provide a kind of general hardware abstraction without knowing the particular details about each and every hardware device. This is facilitated by offering (among other things), general purpose interrupts - GPEs. One of these GPEs is being triggered a lot, and the processing of that interrupt is what causes your CPU spikes.

The changes you made will not persist after a reboot.

Since this is handled by kworker, you could try and investigate further via the workqueue tools: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/tools/workqueue

In general, Linux will detect if excessive GPEs are generated (look for the term “GPE storm” in your kernel log) and stop handling the interrupts by switching to polling. If that happens, or if the interrupts are manually disabled, the system might not react to certain events in a timely manner. What that means for each particular case depends on what the interrupts are being responsible for - hard to tell without additional details.

It’s not like Bluetooth started demanding location permissions, the conceptual model of the permission was revised: having access Bluetooth means an app could determine your location via a form of lateration.

In earlier versions of smartphone operating systems, this was not transparent to users lacking the technical background, so Bluetooth also requiring location access is actually an attempt at making users aware of that. I’m not an iOS developer, so I can’t comment on iPhones, but on Android versions prior to 11, having access to Bluetooth meant an app would be able to determine your location.

Today, you can require the permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, which expresses that your app might use Bluetooth to obtain location information on Android. Also, if you’re just scanning for nearby devices to connect your app to, but don’t want users to be confused why your smart fridge app needs to know your precise location, you can declare a permission flag (neverForLocation) and Android will strip beacon information from the scan results, better asserting your intentions.

So, overall: no, there is nothing nefarious going on, it was always possible to determine your location via Bluetooth, and the update to the permission model was an honest improvement that actually benefits you as user.

Now, there are still plenty of shady apps around, and apps that are poorly written - don’t use those.

I shudder to think OP’s post was written by an actual person…
