I didn’t mean to imply that Copilot is stateless when I said that the window shouldn’t be persistent. I don’t really disagree with anything you’re saying though, I’m just guessing that Microsoft expects/hopes that Copilot will soon be as integrated into most everyday computing workflows as the Start menu, rather than a full web browser. Probably wishful thinking, but only time will tell.

Also, you’re kind of advocating for a Bing button more so than a web browser button. Don’t give Microsoft any ideas :P

Wasn’t that impossible for awhile?

Wasn’t that impossible for awhile?

I’m ambivalent about all this, but I think the distinction is that a web browser button would simply open a persistent window, and therefore only really needs to be used once or twice per “session”. Copilot is designed to act more like the Start menu, in that it is opened frequently and disappears after each use.

That being said, and as much as I use ChatGPT myself, it’s hard to see this as anything more than an easy way to further the perception of Microsoft as first-class AI company, thereby justifying its high stock price for a corporation with limited new growth opportunities.

Not particularly relevant, but my friend randomly told me to press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Windows key+L one day. I’m still horrified.

The (capacitive) turn signal buttons are on the steering wheel, not the touch screen. You’re thinking of the mirrors, wipers, etc., which is not what this article is about.

Woah holy shit… so fluoridated water is useless?

Borrow checking is part of the language specification, and a compiler that does not include it is, by definition, incomplete. The authors of mrust even state this in the project README.

Your claim is roughly equivalent to saying a C compiler which does not produce an error when a program calls an undeclared function means that C as a language does not ensure that your code doesn’t call functions that don’t exist - i.e., nonsense at worst, and irrelevant at best.

This line of thinking assumes it would prioritize Earth exclusively over humans, which is only likely if the AI is created with that specific intent.

Now taking bets on how old he’ll say you should be once he turns 90

But concurrent execution is multithreaded. “unparallelize” is the only misnomer in the comment you replied to. Asynchronous execution is not necessarily concurrent, but often is.

However, a high TDP does not inherently mean that thermal throttling will occur, and there are countless everyday processes that are inherently sequential (“single-threaded”), so I still disagree with the comment on most counts.

Wouldn’t bare metal be the best for that?

Technically yes, but WSL2 is remarkably close to optimal in terms of throughput. Unlike WSL1 (a type 2 hypervisor), WSL2 requires Hyper-V (a type 1 hypervisor), meaning Windows also runs as a VM once it’s enabled. The Linux vGPU driver still needs to go through the Windows Nvidia driver as far as I know, but that is seldom the bottleneck for CUDA applications.

Can Cygwin run Linux GUI programs effectively? What about GPU-bound workloads? Would happily switch if the answer to both of those is yes.

Yep, as it has been since the 1850s

since the 1850s

Yeahhh, you may find some people disagree with you on that one. I hear some stuff happened in 1861-1865 or something, for example.

[example of corruption] is the natural, direct result of unbridled [system invented by humans].

Huh.

I’m not questioning that so much as… can’t instances force you to license your content to them in the same way Reddit does, potentially one that is incompatible with the NC and SA designations?

Good thing the IDF refused to use rape kits when the entire world was calling for them to do so right after Oct 7.

Proof?

Hah, didn’t see that coming.

legally protecting your brain fart on Lemmy is a new one

It does feel a little “sovereign citizen”-y, but I’m guessing based on the general sentiment around here that they want to discourage scraping Lemmy for LLM training data. It’s an… interesting… tactic though, as I would imagine most instances give themselves exclusive control over content licensing. I’m kind of curious how copyright would be applied in a federated network, though: would instances apply a license to incoming data, leaving other instances with the responsibility of defederating from them if they don’t agree with the license, or would the instance apply a license to outgoing data, forcing other instances to either comply or defederate?
