Qualcomm should buy capacity from Intel, Intel can wind down x86 slowly as it shifts to foundry (implementation of the how is Intel’s core engineering product this whole time)
CUDA lives in userspace; this kernel driver release does not contain any of that. It's still very useful to release an open source DKMS driver, but this doesn't change anything at all about the CUDA situation.
ChatGPT is also becoming a victim of SEO. Not purely at the crawling level, but also at the answer level.
But as a default, it gives mostly "SEO-optimized" answers in a SEO-optimized format. Even simple question are answered with bullet points. Some descriptions look like advertisements and it's all very authoritative, even when it's just bullshitting/guessing and doesn't really know the answer for sure. This is what I was escaping from.
EDIT: For example the last thing I asked was how Brendan O'Brien did sample replacement in drums in Blood Sugar Sex Magic. It answered something that was 90% plausible but most of the content was walls and walls of text about the equipment it assumed it was used (plus info on more equipment unrelated to sample replacement), rather than actually answering the question itself.
I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. It might be unpopular to use or like ChatGPT among the users of HN but - it’s true, this is one of the quickest ways to get answers for something
Exactly. This seems to be one of the skills we need to learn. In the same way we have to use our own intelligence and skills when searching google (Is this source website reputable? What’s the context I’m searching in? Do I know this person / company? Does that result sound likely? Can I compare to other answers to see if it makes sense?) - it seems to me that using ChatGPT to do anything requires a similar set of (slightly cynical / take what you read with a pinch of salt / check your facts - but nonetheless understand that this is a useful tool) type response to it.
I'm pretty sure one of the first app stores we'll see is Meta App Store.
The deliberate delay in releasing the Threads app in the EU, without any clear reason, makes me believe that they intend to make it an exclusive offering of the Meta store.
Threads is not available in the EU because it would likely surpass the 45M users and hence be subjected to all the various rules under the new DSA and it’s my understanding that the threads team is currently small and meta probably doesn’t want to allocate a ton of resources to it yet.
Or, instead of conspiracy theories, why don't we go for most plausible cause? That the app is a privacy nightmare that in now way could pass the GDPR filter? As if Facebook had anything more to offer in his "store" other than Facebook, whatsapp and Instagram.
I agree that Threads may be a “privacy nightmare” and so that may limit its deployment to Europe, but is it really a conspiracy theory to suggest that Meta will release their latest products (and maybe move current ones) to their own Meta App Store once Apple is forced to allow 3rd-party app stores? That seems less of a conspiracy to me and more of a natural consequence, and Meta won’t be alone here either.
Many have said “that’s not what happened on Android” and that’s true, however I think that’s true only because everyone is waiting for the iPhone to be forced to change and then you release your own store across both platforms. It seems likely to me it’s not worth it to do it on Android alone - kind of like releasing an Android-only app. You’d want both an Android and iOS version of your app. The costs and duplication of infrastructure probably doesn’t make sense for one operating system but does for two.
Even if alternative stores will be allowed in the EU, Meta will still need to be present on the App Store because the majority of Apple users will probably not bother install others stores.
Plus, if it’s an EU only store they’ll still need to be present on the official store for all the other people that are not in the EU.
And no matter the store, they’d still be subjected to the new EU regulations which is the real reason why Threads is not available in the EU at the moment.
I’ve heard this discussion point often “most users won’t switch to the new store” but the problem with that point is it makes all of the 3rd-party App Store development and related activities pointless. I don’t buy that they will need to maintain a presence. iOS is what moves the needle and drives revenue.
US regulation will almost certainly follow EU regulation to allow 3rd-party app stores or it’ll just be a tax we all pay in the US on prices (probably small, admittedly) for devices and software cost as Apple has to maintain increasingly divergent os profiles for different locales.
Also I think you are correct that Meta may follow 3rd-party App Store rules and regulations, but if they’re all subject to to the same rules and relegations allowing the 3rd-party stores is either pointless and annoying (download the Meta store to download the Meta apps) or it’ll just be used for scummy and scammy software.
But also a lot of let’s say user data tracking for example could theoretically be banned by the EU but Meta can just get around that and maybe pay the cost later. It’s not like there are any watchdogs here. They don’t need Apple or their requirement to allow Sign in with Apple or to follow any sort of checks and balances (they are dogfooding) from another institution.
All that to say, I see no benefit to these 3rd party app stores and lots of potential negatives. But I guess it’s “more open” or something?
Facebook is probably salivating at the thought of their own App Store. Don’t forget that Apple already once had to block Facebook’s enterprise apps because they were literally paying kids to enroll their devices and install a data harvesting VPN.
I regularly compare queries with both GPT-4 and Claude 2 and I find I prefer Claude's answers most often. The 100k token context is a major plus too.
Claude is more creative and that comes with a higher rate of hallucinations. I hope I'm not misremembering but GPT-4 was also initially more prone to hallucinations but also more capable in some ways.
