It's good to find use cases that still fail, that can help drive research, if it's something that actually matters.

But meanwhile people who find things it does well enough to improve the goods and services they offer - using AI as it exists, not an idealization in their minds - will be the ones reaping the rewards. Usage statistics will continue to go up, just as /. will continue to be dominated by people saying that could never happen.

It really seems to be rationalized by "whatever excuse comes to hand." Right now as a result of a carjacking in DC that happened to be against a DOGE staffer,

Trump posted Tuesday that if D.C. does not quickly "get its act together ... we will have no choice" but to federalize the city, after the incident involving the man whom multiple outlets have identified as Edward Coristine, famously nicknamed "Big Balls."

Will DC be federalized? Not wholly, I doubt. The whole idea is very non-legal and non-constitutional, which makes it either very unlikely, or especially dangerous, depending on how you look at it.

But it certainly seems to be the general direction in which Trumps wants to go - whatever he says, goes. He really assumes that he knows what to do about everything and should be allowed to do it.

In their ideal world, I suppose the AI would still be training on them, but they would pay the movie industry.

And of course, not for the price of a single blu-ray. That's the question, is training permitted under that "EULA."

Like... forever? Like New Jersey where you're not allowed to pump your own gas for some reason nobody can remember?

I guess they thought of that

For me the "killer apps" for a high-res laptop display is maps. My outdoor hobbies call for looking at a lot of maps, including e.g. tracing out trails in aerial imagery. And lots of small labels. Maps look so nice in high-res.

Also, I find that laptops with lower-res screens generally lack the gpu horsepower to drive an external high-res screen (I'm sure there are exceptions). Plugging the laptop into my 4k tv makes a very nice setup for me now that I need reading glasses on the laptop.

huh, I had thought oled was usually less power. I can see why not at least with a bright background though, many source of light vs a few bigger ones

I'm curious why you chose LED?

I wasn't looking for anything above 4k, even for that you have to get somewhat up there in the lineup.

Same 1 TB as the last time for me, almost sorry to say I just haven't found a use for more in a laptop.

My 5 year old Dell laptop recently wore out and shopping for a new one I was surprised how little, if any, specs have advanced for the same money (~$2k). In particular it doesn't look like anybody even makes a 15" 4k oled display any more. I suppose the chips are faster, so that's good, but the RAM, storage, and resolution are all about what they were.

Having read his book, I think he's smarter than all this, but decided to turn off his brain and crawl around on his belly for 1-5 years for political gain.

I think of carbon and titanium as high-performance materials where weight is a consideration. I wonder for this what is the disadvantage of just using a bunch of good old steel. It sinks just fine.

Nothing in this story sounded problematic to me. Just expect people to be a little bit human even at work. As for the summary, you could ignore little things like this like you did in the actual meeting, or somebody could update the prompt (although what to include in a summary is to some degree subjective), or you try making the new kind of sandwich from publix.

My hearing is so bad I turn on live transcription if at all possible. But then people assume you're recording, so they are suspicious or tell you they cannot consent so turn it off. But I don't want to record in the first place.

Ok but what's the fraud-proof alternative?

Oh I definitely use the links rather than the ai-generated text if I care.

Is it missing something important in summarization? I can't say I've found that to be the case in retrospect, but yes it must happen. Is it more than would happen if I spent the same effort with a search engine, or less? I think it is less.
