The chances this fixes it are... Remote.

Price fixing is not cool.

Just in time for the Steam Machine and Steam Frame!

Right, Valve? Right?

...any day now...

Have you told this local artisan that you're posting their stuff here? You should! It's neat.

I browse "All" just to see interesting niches like this pop up from time to time. That is, someone appreciates the quality photos you're posting of this random (to me) hobby 👍

Aside: We need more knitting and crochet and craft stuff in general on Lemmy! Also, not enough 3D printing, digital cutter stuff (all kinds), and extra weird things! Let's keep it interesting.

This article confirms my experience as well: While Claude is the leader overall, the gap is closing fast.

Honestly, if I were an investor in Big AI, I'd be terrified right now. Because Big AI isn't making any serious gains in anything but how much it costs while the free, local models are catching up fast.

The point where the capabilities of the free models will overtake the benefits of the Big AI models is soon. Big AI needs to make some big breakthroughs (in cost or performance) soon or they're doomed.

We're already at the point where developers who are good software architects (that know how to lay out software really well in order to keep technical/cognitive debt to a minimum) can work efficiently with the free models. Give them access to the hardware that lets them run multiple simultaneous instances and the benefits of Big AI are basically nil.

While I sort of agree with you that that is his angle, service jobs that aren't easily automatable will continue to climb in the "job stability and pay rate" category until the world figures out how to deal with Baumol's Cost Disease:

Fortipatch your Fortishit already!

The AI paradox: It's both original (hallucinating) and plagiarizing (copying things, word-for-word).

STOP USING TWITTER. It's a stinking, steaming storm drain with a rich guy's RV speeding away from it.

Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on the man, as well as a suppressor, both consistent with the weapon used in the murder.

Ummm... That's awfully convenient. He just happened to have brought that exact gun with its suppressor to McDonald's. I'm skeptical.

Really doubling down on that, "he actually is the antichrist" thing.

FYI: That's more Windows games than run in Windows!

WTF? Why? Because a lot of older games don't run in newer versions of Windows than when they were made! They still run great in Linux though 👍

Prioritize funding for places with higher birth rates, you say? So... Communities with loads of immigrants. Got it.

This is what happens to nearly every business Microsoft buys or invest in. They're the enshittiers.

Sony is a close second, BTW 😁

"I didn't vaccinate my kids and the one that lived turned out fine!"

I browse "All" most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It's not like this gif though. It's more like watching a super interesting science experiment.

"Ah, yes. I see. I see. How interesting!"

My scientific notes so far:

• They crave cuddles. It's almost like a cuddle-based economy.

So what they're saying is that Canada can win this fight if they've got good aim and a minimal arsenal of tools at their disposal. Got it.

Oh man, the parallels with history here are strong...

Back in the day companies would use government to crack down on things like union strikes. So the unions started working with the Mafia for protection.

This didn't work out well for the companies (executives getting carried off, tortured, and executed... That sort of stuff) so the government came up with a compromise: Strong labor laws.

Now we have the government itself violating it's own laws (Bill of Rights), kidnapping harmless people, sending them to faraway prisons to become slaves. Hooking up with organized crime seems like a logical path 🤷

...as in: WTF did you think was going to happen‽

LGBTQ people and drag queens.

Let's look at the logic here: If we don't expect troops to defy illegal orders, that means some commanding officer could order his troops to kill the president 🤔

That's illegal but... The Trump administration thinks orders should be followed no matter what.
