There is a camera on the front. That could be used to detect obstructions or for eye tracking. There could also be additional sensors by the bottom screen that can detect obstructions.

If you fail to plug the TV into the internet within 5 days of receiving and keep it connected they’ll charge you $1000. If you take it apart they’ll charge you $1000.

The video above does not go into detail on the long term implications of obstruction and it’s possible the TV does not react immediately to an obstruction.

I read their TOS when this first was announced and they had something like they’ll bill you the full cost of the TV if you tamper or obscure it and they deemed the cost of the TV as $1k USD.

Check Craigslist, FB Marketplace, Letgo–just general classifieds. Can generally find decent deals on 1 to 2 generation old PCs, especially if you’re near a US Military installation or college.

Edit: just checked Boulder’s CL–10700k, 3080, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 850w PSU and a 27in, 1440p, IPS Monitor for $1000

How the fuck is respecting people’s backgrounds during hiring and employment in contrast to the Christian faith?

Here are some things that people will suggest that are unacceptable:

Have the dnalounge.com MX record point to some Google thing and let them take over 100% of my company’s email. Fuck no. Also it wouldn’t integrate with our internal systems, store, transactional emails, bounce processing, etc.

Why is that unacceptable? “Fuck no” is not a reason for it being unacceptable, and having to build out integrations when things change is part of the job.

You want business email? Well you host it yourself, pay someone to manage it in house, or pay someone to manage it externally. Using loopholes to get free end-user emails was bound to stop working eventually; just pay for Google workspaces, keep the same familiarity for your employees and now have heightened control over how Google uses your data.

Different cards do different things so sticking to a single card will not grant you as much in the long run. It is a hell of a lot easier to manage though.

I’m sure there’s plenty more, but it’s time for dinner.

I can’t wait for hardware companies to let go of their designers prematurely in the pursuit of AI everything only for there to be a bug in a major board and no one available to troubleshoot thereby stranding customers with a broken board, no revision on the horizon, and no recourse.

I think this geared toward the crowd that plays games, but doesn’t have the latest and greatest hardware nor likes to tinker. This will be an upgrade for a lot of people and the ability to just set it up and play your already existing backlog with ease is the main selling point over power.

It’s an awesome device which will help drive the Linux gaming ecosystem forward, but it’s not for me personally as it doesn’t hold a candle to my PC.

I have had teachers try to grade on a strict bell curve distribution, but if your goal as a school is to accept promising talent then train them better you should expect your students to fall within a part of a bell curve and not spread across the whole damn thing.

Sorry, can’t pass you cause my morals oblige me to give 2 As, and 2Fs, and I’m all out of everything but FS (no matter how many points you were away from someone with a better final grade).

According to the survey, they did.

That’s because a third of Americans believe everything that happens is part of God’s plan because he controls everything good and bad.

This feels like a “Sex FM” thing.

The next graffiti in that exact spot better be of those two guarding the cover up.

On a “respond to an individual query” level, yeah it’s not that much. But prior to response the data center had to be constructed, the entire web had to be scraped, the models trained, the servers continually ran regardless of load. There’s also way too many “hidden” queries across the web in general from companies trying to summarize every email or product.

All of that adds to the energy costs. This equivocation is meant to make people feel less bad about the energy impact of using AI, when so much of the cost is in building AI.

Furthermore, that’s the median value–the one that falls right in the middle of the quantity of queries. There’s a limit to how much less energy a query to the left of the median can use; there’s a significantly higher runway to the right of the median for excess energy use. This also only accounted for text queries; images and video generation efforts are gonna use a lot more.

There are zero downsides when mentally associating an energy hog with “1 second of use time of the device that is routinely used for minutes at a time.”

• I ask a website for content.
• The website gives me content and a side of shit.
• I instruct my intelligent butler to discard the shit and only give me the content I requested.
• I get only the content I requested.

If a website wants to run ads that’s fine, I’ll just remove them. If they want to gate their content behind a paywall that’s fine, I’ll just make a determination about whether or not what they offer is worth it.

Removing ads is not “breaking a website” if anything it’s the exact opposite–restoring a cleaner layout, faster loading, less privacy invasion, and a reduced chance of malware.
