Still, would you really want that? A half-baked device in your network, a device you suspect would constantly betray you, if given the chance?
I personally can’t imagine getting used to that. I’d despise the device (and myself probably).
“Armchair xyz” refers to an unqualified person speaking confidently about topics they have no experience or training in, and giving (often unsolicited) advice that could be inappropriate, not applicable, or even downright harmful. Additionally, they sometimes get upset when their advice is not welcome or not heeded, leading to additional tension.
I assume OP is receiving similar treatment from their family.
It can’t be enabled by Microsoft since the tile is only a link opening the Copilot website using the TV’s browser - it’s a URL shorcut.
I mean, Lua is a pretty “interesting” choice for that application, but don’t blame shitty coding practices and inexperienced coders on the language.
The gigantic loop could have been cleaned up with a table, registering handlers for the individual cases.
Lua is probably not the best choice for a web service, but it definitely has its applications.
The output is sorted due to the fact that for each number, a timer is started that prints out the number after waiting a number of milliseconds equal to said number.
Therefore, 1 is printed first after delaying for 1 millisecond, 5 is printed second after 5 milliseconds etc.
Unfortunately, you can’t just put plants everywhere. CO2 conversion is also highly dependent on light levels, which sufficient light levels not being achievable everywhere.
Office buildings with a large number of people meeting rooms etc.) could also benefit from monitoring.
Heck, even at home, I have a room that quickly accumulates CO2, easily reaching 2000ppm with just a single person being inside, which makes spending prolonged time in said room a tiring affair.

By that logic, the best thing to do for the environment is to die - which is probably true, it’s just not a very good (or even particularly interesting) argument.
I think so, too. It’s still a horrible idea though.
If only. My wife’s phone is affected by a Google battery recall. You basically get $50 of shut-up money and get to live with a software update that nerfs your phone to an almost unusable state, or you can try and have a local, approved repair shop replace the faulty battery.
We’re living in a large city, there is exactly one approved store available. You can’t contact them by email, no one has picked up the phone in weeks. She is close taking the $50.
No, it’s not. Lego has been bullying local distributors of other brick systems (e. g. CADA) by issuing patent claims, knowing very very well that those claims are false and the patents have expired long ago.
However, customs has to hold and store the shipping containers until the court settles, and they charge for it. A lot. This forces small shops (down to your local mom&pop toy store) to pay for customs storage fees, for weeks, sometimes months. These costs are high enough to force small shops out of business, mind you.
Along with the declining quality of the sets and the increasing cost, Lego is very well a shitty company.
Jesus, how do you people always come up with the most inane conspiracies. I have a company that manufactures devices that communicate wirelessly. The new RED is a huge pain in the ass, along with the CRA.
Absolutely no company pushed for this. The new legislations and directives cause a ton of additional work and obligations for companies, e. g. software has to be certified as part of the compliance check, things that were previously approved via self-reports now involve trusted 3rd parties, and reports of violations to government bodies are now mandatory.
And you know what, even though this costs a bunch of money that could go elsewhere and the whole thing is so new that even the certification bodies have no idea what is going on, even though we have to setup completely new processes, spend endless hours documenting things, I still appreciate both initiatives.
As an end customer, I would love if e. g. the software that runs on the mobile payment terminal taking my card info is certified. I would love if the developer of the software running on the PLC on my shop floor has to check CVEs, inform me about security issues and has to deliver 5 to 10 years of updates.
Not a fan of Samsung and their shitty software, but they’re simply preemptively covering their ass, nothing more.
I’d also still want to unlock my bootloader. I’m sure the whole legal situation will become less muddled, enabling just that.
Except for those people with crippling ADHD, who never get to build a career, have trouble maintaining meaningful relationships and succumb to the overhead and additional stress of having to try life on hard mode.
Let’s not pretend those people don’t exist or that ADHD is not a problem for adults any longer, in particular in places where healthcare is not readily accessible.
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.
This is pretty much absolutely true by the way:

Although, to be fair, that was done by Cutter Labs, which sure, had been acquired by Bayer, but to be honest, Cutter Labs was rotten from the start, they were also responsible for the Cutter incident, infecting people with Polio:
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:
It’s not that they’re not useful, that’s just nonsense.
That happens to be also true
You need to see a medical professional, some online test without professional interpretation isn’t going to cut it.
The latest Raspberry Pi cameras have decent sensors, variants with night vision are available. Axis makes reliable, network attached cameras.
Open-source software like Frigate or ZoneMinder exists.
