Do you have a source for Search Generative Experience using a separate model? As far as I’m aware, all of Google’s AI services are powered by the Gemini LLM.

I feel you man lmao

The last I had heard of this were articles months in saying it was still not fixed, but this doesn’t invalidate my point. It may have been retrained to respond otherwise, but it spouts garbled inputs.

Generative AI does not work like this. They’re not like humans at all, it will regurgitate whatever input it receives, like how Google can’t stop Gemini from telling people to put glue in their pizza. If it really worked like that, there wouldn’t be these broad and extensive policies within tech companies about using it with company sensitive data like protection compliances. The day that a health insurance company manager says, “sure, you can feed Chat-GPT medical data” is the day I trust genAI.

I mean, that just comes from lacking a multiple “you” conjugation. Just another reason English is terrible

I swear the discord kitten stuff was just a meme and some degenerates thought it was a good idea

What can I say, he’s smarter than the a-ver-age медведь!

I didn’t even know that… Dang, now I miss it even more

It was super smart with offline streaming too, queuing up the smart downloads when you had no connection and requeuing your original mix when the connection returns. I relied on that for road trips and nothing comes close in functionality.

I used to use Google Play Music for years but when they shut down YouTube Music has always been garbage by comparison. I just pirate the music I like and donate occasionally to artists I like.

Right, and even if they were exceptions, the operative word was expect. It can happen but it’s not a guarantee.

It’s a great game and it was groundbreaking in the indie space, but you can’t just live off the one game forever. Imagine if Toby Fox did that with Undertale. And then complained about not having money.

Yeah, Photoshop is honestly a hard piece of software to replace because it frankly does so many different things quite well. Most of those things can be covered by breaking out into multiple software, like how I use Krita for illustration and Aseprite for pixel art, but yeah general image manipulation is really the main thing left.

I’m vaguely familiar with it, but it seems more like maintaining Unity 7 than continuing development of Unity 8. I’ve also seen UBports Unity8 which seems to have taken a backseat to maintaining Ubuntu Touch so I’m not holding my breath, but thank you!

The Copilot and Recall integrations just happen to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve been wanting to make all my software as FOSS as possible, and the AI stuff has just been a catalyst. Especially for Adobe, I don’t have a good replacement for Photoshop as GIMP has been a nightmare to use and Photopea isn’t FOSS but I won’t be using any Adobe products ever again.

Windows 11 across the board, though I’m trying to migrate. I used Ubuntu as a daily driver in the early 2010s but I was soured by the retirement of Unity and was disappointed by the gaming at the time. These days I’ve liked the idea of KDE Neon, but I’ve got a lot to do to be ready for a full migration. I’d take my time with it but the AI stuff has rushed me to move faster.

I pay for a Google workspace account, but I’ve been thinking about self hosting. I’ve had my eye on mailcow for a bit, does anyone recommend?

Ah, got me with a reverse gish gallop. Now I’m an idiot, oh no…

Genuinely, I’ve also been an AMD buyer since I started building 12 years ago. I started out as a fan boy but mellowed out over the years. I know the old FX were garbage but it’s what I started on, and I genuinely enjoy the 4 gens of Intel since ivy bridge, but between the affordability and being able to upgrade without changing the motherboard every generation, I’ve just been using Ryzen all these years.

Giving a CPU more voltage is just what overclocking is. Considering that most of these modern CPUs from both AMD and Intel have already been designed to start clocking until it reaches a high enough temp to start thermally throttling, it’s likely that there was a misstep in setting this threshold and the CPU doesn’t know when to quit until it kills itself. In the process it is undoubtedly gaining more performance than it otherwise would, but probably not by much, considering a lot of the high end CPUs already have really high thresholds, some even at 90 or 100 C.

I genuinely think that was the best Intel generation. Things really started going downhill in my eyes after Skylake.
