That they make up incorrect responses rather than admit they don’t have the correct answer.

That’s for LLMs though. I don’t know much about 3D model generating models. I imagine they are more similar to image generation models, and have similar issues to those.

I keep hearing this claim and I keep not seeing results.

Not that current models aren’t better than the ones a year ago. They are just only slightly better, and have made no progress on the most glaring issues.

I’ve had several 3.5mm jacks fail. I’ve yet to have a USBC port fail, but I’ve also had fewer USBC ports and for fewer years.

Outer Wilds

Space puzzle exploration game. It’s the kind of game where it’s best to go in as blind as possible. I will say no more.

A few years ago they made some changes to how extensions work (iirc it was supposedly aimed at improving privacy by restricting what extensions can access).

These days I use a paid iOS/macOS specific ad block app. It was like $3 one time purchase and it works great.

Gemini is a completely different project.

The term “AI” is rather overloaded these days.

AlphaFold uses a combination of machine learning and physics simulations to predict the shape of a protein given its chemical formula.

Gemini is a Large Language Model which uses machine learning to predict text completion.

They both use “machine learning” but the machine learning models are wildly different. Machine learning is a technique that’s basically a fancy curve fitting approach. The curve AlphaFold is trained to mimic maps chemical formulas to shapes, while the curve Gemini mimics maps a text input to probabilities for predictions of the next letter(s).

The risk is your computer reaching out to something on the internet (either by you browsing, or some automatic background activity) and whatever it finds infects it.

This could be something like an ad on an otherwise trustworthy website.

TLDR They were considering shipping a phone that had already been restored from a backup via their cloud servers.

IIRC iCloud backups have already been the target of both hackers and law enforcement activity before.

But more generally, if whatever service you use for backup isn’t end to end encrypted, then whoever has your backup could sift through it if they wanted.

Note that Apple does allow “Advanced Data Protection” which includes end-to-end encrypted backups along with the warning that Apple cannot help you if you lose your password.

This is one of those cases where the name brand cable probably is better than an off brand.

Tangential story, but a cheapo headphone cable once broke the headphone jack on my computer. It was too big and stretched out the connector in there.

I have never seen that gif before but god do I hate it

They just started doing that earlier this year for a handful of titles. I doubt there has been enough time for a significant number of titles to implement that.

The next shot is he backs down because they threaten his love interest

Specifically the 2 instances that everybody blocks, and it’s mostly fans of those two instances that complain about it.

My family would always go skiing in the nearby mountains every Christmas. We are starting to have the conversation of changing that plan, given how bad the snow has been the past two years, and predictions for the future are only getting worse.

It sets a minimum standard. Bad teachers teach to the test. Good teachers go above and beyond that. But at least the bad teachers have a minimum standard to meet.

You can still reason about expected value in this situation, just $ is not really what you want to optimize for.

When you view it as “100% chance of being able to afford anything” vs “50% chance of being able to afford anything” it becomes more clear.

Minimum wage is set on several levels - federal, state, city. The lower level just can’t be lower than the higher level.

AlphaFold is Google’s AI approach to protein folding…
