Do you have a source for Search Generative Experience using a separate model? As far as I’m aware, all of Google’s AI services are powered by the Gemini LLM.

I feel you man lmao

The last I had heard of this were articles months in saying it was still not fixed, but this doesn’t invalidate my point. It may have been retrained to respond otherwise, but it spouts garbled inputs.

Generative AI does not work like this. They’re not like humans at all, it will regurgitate whatever input it receives, like how Google can’t stop Gemini from telling people to put glue in their pizza. If it really worked like that, there wouldn’t be these broad and extensive policies within tech companies about using it with company sensitive data like protection compliances. The day that a health insurance company manager says, “sure, you can feed Chat-GPT medical data” is the day I trust genAI.

SteelSeries always seemed like the new-age version of Corsair. I used to have Corsair everything and got disillusioned with the build quality and software functionality loss over the years, and when SteelSeries came into play I watched some of my friends do the exact same dive. It seemed like they were a decently priced, decent quality peripherals brand when they started, but now it seems like they shared the same fate. I’m definitely done with brand loyalty, and I trust what I build more than anything I buy.

I had a friend online who was a gamer grandma until she passed. She was the sweetest person and such fun to play with, may she rest in peace.

So, how many more generations before people finally escape Nintendo’s crafted stereotype that games are for young boys? Never? Fantastic. I’ll try not to think about how I’ll magically be too old for games in 7 months.

Ah, got me with a reverse gish gallop. Now I’m an idiot, oh no…

Genuinely, I’ve also been an AMD buyer since I started building 12 years ago. I started out as a fan boy but mellowed out over the years. I know the old FX were garbage but it’s what I started on, and I genuinely enjoy the 4 gens of Intel since ivy bridge, but between the affordability and being able to upgrade without changing the motherboard every generation, I’ve just been using Ryzen all these years.

Giving a CPU more voltage is just what overclocking is. Considering that most of these modern CPUs from both AMD and Intel have already been designed to start clocking until it reaches a high enough temp to start thermally throttling, it’s likely that there was a misstep in setting this threshold and the CPU doesn’t know when to quit until it kills itself. In the process it is undoubtedly gaining more performance than it otherwise would, but probably not by much, considering a lot of the high end CPUs already have really high thresholds, some even at 90 or 100 C.

I genuinely think that was the best Intel generation. Things really started going downhill in my eyes after Skylake.

I recently had to replace my phone and just needed something working. Not even a fan of Samsung but I bought a Z Flip 4 for like $300 and it has like a scratch or two on the screen I barely notice. It’s been fantastic and I see no reason to really get a 5 or 6…

As I’ve slowly been expanding my homelab, NextCloud caught my attention. I haven’t tried it quite yet, but it might be closer to what you’re looking for.

While companies like Nintendo continually kill off game accessibility, Steam doesn’t really take away games from anyone. Digital distribution may not be ownership, but Steam in particular hasn’t given reason to worry.

I wish I could have done something like that. Strangely enough, that time I was technically early, because after I got to the empty gate way past departure time, I hadn’t realized I scheduled my flight a week later than I thought. I didn’t think I could get it moved up, and I ended up buying really expensive tickets same day.

I’ve just about keeled from trying to catch a plane, stressed out and with hypertension. I have and will wait for a full 8 hours outside my gate.

Yeah, some companies are very slow to adapt. One company I worked for was still using SVN. It was a nightmare lol, and when they did finally migrate to git, some of my coworkers were completely lost.

But there’s also something to be said among developers I’ve worked with on hobbyist projects. Plenty of people who just shared files over and over, or just had it on Google drive or Dropbox

I’m honestly blown away by how many developers don’t even know the basics of git

I remember a point around 2015ish where a lot of web apps went from recommending Firefox and Chrome for the best experience to just Chrome. Now I often see “don’t use Firefox” as a support tactic.
