I assume all ads are scams. Cause they are :-)


I fell in love with the metal Dvorak-keyboard Precursor ever since I saw bunnie post about it in 2019 https://xcancel.com/bunniestudios/status/1210540127430336517...

> Republicans will be hunted" if Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election

I don't know how he got there from Biden's literal pitch to donors that "nothing will fundamentally change".


Projection. The Republican pitch was to start hunting their enemies, so he and a lot of other people assumed the reverse applied too.


It's not about assumptions, it's rationalization. The tribal playbook requires one to demonize the enemy in order to justify what they want to do to them.


It's a blunt instrument, but this is how I would justify the Tahoe icons:

    .icon {
      text-align: justify;
      display: none;
    }


> An aerial refueler flying so close to Venezuela can't have been there with the best intentions. I don't think that they're too keen on advertising their presence or whereabouts.

Which is precisely why they should avoid flying INTO civilian aircraft.

Imagine if that refueler had stayed away from the JetBlue, we wouldn't be talking about it ;-)


Absolutely agreed. But the midair collision that happened at the Ronald Reagan Intl airport (DCA) in Washington DC in February doesn't really give me the confidence that they care that much. Especially given how furious the senior NTSB official Jennifer Homendy was at both the military and the FAA.


Stop anthropomorphizing non-human things. They don't like it.


I don't remember where I read this, but will tell this story every time ChatGPT is mentioned as a replacement of StackOverflow.

> I asked chatgpt how do I do X. Chatgpt replied with the accepted answer from stack overflow, thus saving me 1 second. In theory. In practice, what Chatgpt did NOT tell me was that the top voted comment on that accepted answer said "Do not do this, doing X in this way creates a security vulnerability of type Y because of Z"


Honestly, in this scenario I’d lean toward the LLM providing the better answer. Whoever shared this parable didn’t understand that ChatGPT isn’t just a search engine that regurgitates the top voted accepted comment from Stack Overflow. An LLM is probably more likely to parse the entire page and all of the comments if it pulls an URL. It would also be more likely to pull multiple URLs. It would also be more likely to pull from accumulated embedded knowledge. Unfortunately for this fabricated example, the casual visitor to Stack Overflow is most likely to be duped by an incorrect accepted answer if they don’t scroll down and read the fine print (which isn’t that common, a fact that surprises people who always read the comments and all answers).


The requested prompt does not exist or you do not have access. If you believe the request is correct, make sure you have first allowed AI Studio access to your Google Drive, and then ask the owner to share the prompt with you.


I thought this was a joke at first. It actually needs drive access to run someone else's prompt. Wild.


On iOS safari, it just says “Allow access to Google Drive to load this Prompt”. When I run into that UI, my first instinct is that the poster of the link is trying to phish me. That they’ve composed some kind of script that wants to read my Google Drive so it can send info back to them. I’m only going to click “allow” if I trust the sender with my data. IMO, if that’s not what is happening, this is awful product design.


After ChatGPT accidentally indexed everyones shared chats (and had a cache collision in their chat history early on) and Meta build a UI flow that filled a public feed full of super private chats... seems like a good move to use a battle tested permission system.


Imagine the metrics though. "this quarter we've had a 12% increase on people using AI solutions in their google drive".


Google Drive is one of the bigger offenders when it comes to “metrics-driven user-hostile changes”, in gsuite, and its Google Meet is one of its peers.


In The Wire they asked Bunny to "juke the stats" - and he was having none of that.


Not a chance I'll ever click 'ok'. I'd love to be able to opt-out of anything AI related near my google environment.


To clarify, the message above is what I got after giving it Google Drive access.


Not really, that's just basic access control. If you've used Colab or Cloud Shell (or even just Google Cloud in general, given the need to explicitly allow the usage of each service), it's not surprising at all.


Why does AI studio need access to my drive in order to run someone else's prompt? It's not a prompt for authentication with my Google account. I'm already signed in. It's prompting for what appears to be full read/write access to my drive account. No thanks.


A bit of topic, but I was wondering how much bigger is the steam machine compared to the mac mini m4, since that's what I have and is my frame of reference. Obviously comparing apples to oranges and only talking about physical volume, not features, compatibility, price, personal preferences, etc.

Mac Mini m4: 127 x 127 x 50 mm = 0.8 L

Steam Machine: 156 x 162 x 152 = 3.8 L

That's 4.76 times more volume.


The Steam device has a 110W GPU and 30W CPU. The M4 Mac Mini's peak power consumption is less than half of that. Even with the Apple Silicon efficiency, it can't keep up with high power GPUs in graphical loads like gaming.

Mac Mini will throttle itself after sustained full load, especially with the GPU engaged.

A Mac Mini will start throttling well before the end of a 30 minute online gaming match.

A larger volume for better cooling was a good choice for a machine designed to run the CPU and GPU at full load for hours.


In that sense the Mini M4 is targeted more at Desktop than gaming. Can do short bursts when needed but cannot run the marathon in terms of graphics. Nothing wrong with this, it is just a trade off.


It's also about twice the total TDP and more likely to spend time running at full bore. Bigger heatsinks and fans means quieter operation under load.


The Mac Mini M4 is crazy small though. This steam box is still really small, even if it is 5x the volume of the Mac Mini M4.


127 x 127 x 50 mm is likely the size of the cooling fan in the Steam Machine. Apples to oranges.


For anyone wondering how the Mac Studio compares:

95 x 197 x 197 mm = 3.7 L

> Obviously comparing apples to oranges

Or is it “comparing apples to steam engines”?


Given that Valve are the ones who released the Orange Box, methinks the original comparison is valid


It's only a little bigger than Mac Studio.

9.5 x 19.7 x 19.7 cm = 3,687 cm³

and half the size of my SFFPC @ 8.3L
