They have sort of been replaced by transformers for a lot of use cases (and where dataset size allows).

That's cool, but I get a new IP every 12 hours so it's still not enough to determine if I'm part of a botnet or I just got stuck with someone else's poisoned IP

Would be great if it told me how recently it was detected. I have a dynamic IP from my ISP and it could very well be someone else's device 3 days or 3 months ago.

Presumably this means no targeting the user's preferences and just showing everything by newest/most liked.

>but not in a firefox address bar.

That is by design (on Firefox's part) to avoid someone registering e.g. steаmpowered.com (notice а as U+0430 instead of a as U+61) and running a scam that looks valid on the address bar.

> I get more and better work done with AI, to my own satisfaction and to the benefit of my employer

In the short run, because Anthropic and other providers are heavily subsidizing coding agents to maximize user base. Will your employer still benefit and be satisfied in a couple of years when Anthropic jacks up the price by 5x and dumbs down Opus to the point where 50% of changes are easier to do manually than via an agent?

> Lower income countries where something that was very inexpensive and worked enough had legs

As a lower income country citizen who had a Lumia 635, that's exactly how they got me. It was something like 150-160 U$S and at the time, in my country that would've bought me a Galaxy J2 or some other bottom of the barrel phone with a laggy Android UI. In contrast the Lumia 635 was just as compute/memory-starved but Windows Phone could handle it way, way better. My dad even used it into 2019 after I upgraded because it was just there and worked better than any cheap Android phone.

The developer experience of the platform was weird. As someone with (a bit of) C# experience I found XAML+C# way easier to get into than Android's kludgy layout system, but as expected the ecosystem of libraries was just not there, and while it was easy to get a free developer account as a student it was a bit pretentious of Microsoft to expect normal people to pay 25(?) USD for the privilege of publishing in a marketplace of between 0 and 5 users.

Because this won't subject me to endless crashes on a tool I use everyday at work

>The AppleTV is already in a similar tier to modern consoles, as far as specs and benchmarks go

What benchmarks are you talking about? CPU-wise the A15 Bionic just barely beats the Ryzen 3700X in single-core and gets absolutely destroyed in multi-core (Geekbench). As for the GPU, the Radeon RX 7600 (closest thing I can find to a "modern console") does >10x the TFLOPS in FP32.

The only reason why they look like they're "in a similar tier" in ported games is because the A15 Bionic is usually tested on 5-6" screens that can be upscaled from 360p without any measurable loss in visual quality, with a massive downgrade in model and texture quality for the same reason. The only modern console the Apple TV "may be" similar to is the Switch 1

Funny comparison seeing as Windows decided to drop support for any machines without TPM (some as young as 2017/2018)

>Right and that means people have to send their data to an external service.

Nothing in this proposal claims it has to be a local AI. That just happens to be the implementation by Chrome and Edge (for now at least, I'd imagine Google will eventually start moving this API towards hosted Gemini).

> You need something beefy if you're serious/professional about those

But you can get way better results with the lowest end computers than you could years ago. Back in the 90s my grandfather used 3DS Max to map out his future apartment's rooms and start planning furniture, using renders to get an idea of how sunshine would look like at different times, etc. At the time, he did this on an expensive 486 that would take an entire day to render some of those visuals. Nowadays I can do the same with a free copy of Blender and any reasonably modern integrated GPU in probably under an hour.

If you were a real one you would run BSD on the desktop and Gentoo on the server

And have an unstable base for the supposed commercial applications they sell to?
