What they meant is that they are searching for an engine for the Apple Car

Well ideally you'd do it as an agency. But we've seen how that can also have major changes quickly with administration changes... Used to be more stable as was the intent of agencies, but they're largely not.

So I would say I wish they were regulated by an agency created by Congress with characteristics they used to be 70-80 years ago. But yeah that ain't gonna happen

The gist of the article is that NVIDIA and AMD are focusing on the halo tier at the exclusion of all else and pricing their cards in an effort to maintain cryptoboom margins in the face of crypto collapsing like a neutron star (for the third time).

If you needed a sub-$900 card today, your options are 1) pay $100-$200 over MSRP for RTX 30 stock, 2) try to snag RDNA2 products before the remaining stock pool evaporates, 3) hope most of your games use DX12 or Vulkan on ARC.

Adding to that, performance gains have basically flatlined at the sub $400 price point. $380 in 2016 got you a GTX 1070. $300 in 2023 gets you...OCed GTX 1070 performance from AMD and NVIDIA. Intel shines here when a game gets along well with their drivers. When a game doesn't, you get performance on par with a GTX 1050 Ti.

$200 gets you cards that aren't even as perfomant as the $200 options from 7 years ago.

For google maps and Waze? I don’t remember getting any navigation notifications on my watch using them but it’s been awhile since I’ve tried.

Yeah, but no one is stopping a third party vendor from offering the body panel.

Found the Bing Bot.

Will smaller companies have the budget to train the models, and pay the ML researchers to build and develop them?
Estimates say it cost millions to train those models (https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/hwfjej/d_the_cost_of_training_gpt3/) and OpenAI in particular have been pretty clear that they see scaling models up as the best path to better performance (like this https://lastweekin.ai/p/the-ai-scaling-hypothesis).
And in reality, you don't just train one model, there will have been many, many iterations to get where they are.
Will a startup have the financial grunt and / or the in house computational resource to catchup to the big players? They'd need a lot of resources from somewhere.

Google lost 100 billion In valuation after the early February release of Bard, the Google Chatbot that they previewed.

“Bard underwhelmed audiences with inaccurate responses”

lol. that ship has sailed. back in 360 era.

current hardware for consumer cant push physics, hd assets and native. its all upscale tech . be it internal game engine stuff/fsr/dlss.

When I heard that Musk wanted 50 pages of code printed out, I knew the end was coming. That is the most useless metric you could possibly measure by.

The haphazard firings, then the "Please come back" we fucked up. The dismantling of anything resembling moderation on the platform.

The fact people are coming forward and telling tales of an environment being run by an unhinged lunatic with delusions of grandeur doesn't surprise me one bit. This is his shtick.

Though imagine your a DC engineer who got let go from this shitshow, getting a job right now..

"Yeah, nobody is left, but we built such a resilient infrastructure he can unplug entire racks and it'll keep working.. for a while.."

Exactly. Search implies research. While chatgpt can be one channel for a POV on your research.

Look at past news from Google. My bet is that Google has been sitting on their AI for years, tuning it getting it consumer ready. My bet is that they can release something better than Bing very quickly if needed.

For example, the news from last year about the Google AI tester that claimed Lambda was sentient.

Google knew exactly that Bing's chatbot would fail like this when exposed to consumers.

The difference between Google and Microsoft is expectations. If Google released a chatbot like Bing it would have been brand damaging. For Microsoft it's just another bad consumer experience over the years.

You got it and missed it at the same time.

>zero mechanism to replace tech moguls

Sure we do. You stop using their products and they go broke and leave.

When social media gives someone salmonella, then come back and request regulation.

So you'd be totally fine with the Trump administration regulating how social media companies operate?

"Algorithmic bias" research is mostly trash. The more rigorous of it just pretends statisticians haven't been working on sample adjustment and balancing for causal inference for literally generations, and the less rigorous simply insists that we should ignore that things are not equally and identically distributed across population subgroups.

And my here pissed because my iPhone quit working with my old Volvo connect tech.

That's why I upgraded to my current GPU. However, to be fair, I do think my RX 580 was starting to show its age and I knew it was not going to favor a lot that would be coming out fairly soon. I could still play on mid settings mostly fine, but this game specifically, had some graphic bugs - mostly with WILD water textures getting streched all over the place making vision impossible. Also, the area around where I customize my wand, I'm guessing it was the "hitbox" even though it was not an active item. Anyway, after poking around online, I found others with the same issues and we all had the same card, I think I saw a 570 but close enough.

I'm not nearly as much of a gamer as I use to be, hell I dropped gaming for almost two years and only really got back in when Spiderman and Days Gone dropped on Steam. Not long after I finished Days Gone, Hogwarts Legacy was just a couple months on the horizon. Not sure what I'll pick up next, but I like to keep my system ready all the same. Also, I planned for upgrading my main components when I built my PC, one piece at a time every few years. I'm not entirely sure where my Ryzen 5 3600 sits currently, from what I understand it's still a humble, but competitive, piece I hope to get a few more years out of.

Considering that Twitter is still working fine I'd say it's safe to assume the best and the brightest Twitter employees are still there.

Elon regularly bans people for disagreeing with him. He is worse than Twitter used to be about banning, because Twitter used to ban for violations. Now they'll ban you if Musk just doesn't like you.

Musk has gone pretty far right, and definitely isn't in any way for free speech for anyone but him.

I guess we have to wait and see what a 120 watt GPU can do this generation.

No you do have to take the basic plastics and ignition/keyed part off. The USB is the right shape to get the ignition to turn after the rest is out of the way. Donut media did it in a video to demonstrate whats going on
