Such a shame we were wrong and made the world a better place for nothing. Sounds awful.

My favorite part about this is how it shows how different people's lives can be even while existing in the same space. I haven't heard of a single thing in this list -- books, music, games, etc.

Honestly, fine. I think some commenters have a point (on both sides). But really y'all should just try talking to yourself if you think you'll like this.

I have a few of these that I use with unifi for non-critical things over ONVIF and there's a reason they are on a separate vlan and not allowed to access the internet... Thankfully they don't die when you block them from phoning home.

Personally I prefer simple software without bugs! This security vulnerability highlights a serious issue with React. It’s a SPA framework, a server side framework, and a functional component library all at the same time. And it’s apparently getting so complex that it’s introducing source code exposures.

I’m not interested in flame wars per se, but I can tell you there are better alternatives, and that the closer you stay towards targeting the browser itself the better, because browser APIs are at least an order of magnitude more secure and performant than equivalent JS operations.

Oh it's not even rechargeable???? That vastly changes my opinion of this.

Person whose job it is to sell AI selling AI is what I got from this post.

person whose job is to not be replaced by AI saying AI is hype is what I get from your comment

I does not work buddy. Nobody gets paid to not buy AI.

"it's difficult to make someone understand a thing when his job depends on him not understanding it"

in Italy we have a saying for this - "innkeeper, how is the wine?"

surely there's an upper limit to this though with models literally eating themselves.

Not always, you can improve the loop by putting something real inside, like, a code execution tool, a search engine, a human, other AIs or an API. As long as the model can make use of that external environment its data can improve. By the same logic a human isolated from other humans for a long time might also be in a situation of going crazy.

Practical example - using LLMs to create deep research reports. It pulls over 500 sources into a complex analysis, and after all that compiling and contrasting it generates an article with references, like a wiki page. That text is probably superior to most of its sources in quality. It does not trust any one source completely, it does not even pretend to present the truth, it only summarizes the distribution of information it found on the topic. Imagine scaling wikipedia 1000x by deep-reporting every conceivable topic.

They already purposely train them on their own output, it's called synthetic training data.

When a human students learns to read more carefully we don't consider that a negative.

We can wait for that to start appearing in tests or benchmarks first.

isn't Plex literally an XBMC fork? And Jellyfin a Kodi fork? Something like that.

Yes, I think Plex was an XBMC fork and Kodi is the new name of XBMC. Jellyfin forked from Emby, I think when it became closed source. I never used Emby. Plex always seemed to cost money in confusing ways and that turned me off. My initial TV just used NFS shares on a unix machine and a Netgear NeoTV box (~2009) but eventually the codec support was too poor so I moved to XBMC on the Shield and then a number of years later to Jellyfin server on Linux with Jellyfin client on the Shield.

Plex used to routinely offer lifetime pass for like $80 at Black Friday until recently, so that was just an obvious decision if you even remotely used it. If you’re only planning on using it on your local network you don’t need to pay for anything.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Can't speak for Plex.

yeah I'm back to Torrenting too. I was more than happy to pay for Prime, Netflix, and maybe Apple TV+ a few times a year but now they expect me to pay for HBO & Crave & x & y & z & a... I might as well get a cable package.

The funny thing is, between a NAS & a monthly VPN subscription & usenet subscriptions I probably could have paid for all those streaming services for a few years :D

you haven't priced out the streaming services (ad free tier) lately have you?
