Open AI’s core business is lying to inflate their stock price. This tracks.

It’s literally a generic word for video call.

They might have registered it but in the EU it’s not enforceable in the context of video calls.

If Microsoft tries to defend it in that context they could lose it in all contexts.

Probably not an enforceable trademark in France.

Prep occurs before cooking while the meat is raw.

Unless you’re suggesting cooking our fingers after food prep I think I’ll let someone else try that first.

I’m not sure that works. There were 20 shillings to the pound.

So £0.75 a week.

This inflation calculator:

£75 in 1843 is equivalent to £8,310.96

So 15s then is equivalent to £83.11 a week, £4321.72 a year.

40 hour week (which is implied to be too low). ~£2.08 an hour

So if he worked over 40 hours you’re talking a sub £2/hour wage. Around $2.70 in US money.

I suspect the stat relies on converting to dollars before applying inflation as GBP to USD was about 1 to 5 then instead of about 1 to 1.33

It’s fun but I wouldn’t want to denigrate Dickens by saying he got poverty wrong to make a political point.

Hands appear differently in different positions all over the frame in the photo so I maintain the hand pattern is less consistent and harder than lens blur.

But you’re right as the blur is a fingerprint you can match it to a lens and prove a photo is real that way.

It could be a useful tactic as much of AI detection is a way to find and prove AI fake so far.

Just my guess. I could be wrong:

As the lens blur is mathematically fairly simple and spread across the whole image it’s likely already consistently replicated by AI in a similar way to real photos.

It’s easier for generative AI to spot, “understand”, and replicate a mathematical pattern than the number of fingers on a hand or limbs on a body.

Because Biden paid them with grants to build in the US. It’s that simple.

Beyond that there’s stability and the likelihood of not being invaded or facing natural disasters.

There’s meant to be government, legal, and financial institution stability too.

As well as intellectual property defense, trade secrets and NDAs.

Material supplies are meant to be stable too.

When you’re investing in something as specialised as chip manufacturing, labour is a fraction of your concern. Both short and long term.

Still an idiot.

“For the amount of space it takes to include a second speaker or second camera it doesn’t really make sense when you can just plug in an external one”

You sound like an idiot.

I can buy a phone from HMD that’s more repairable, more modular, and has sustainable features.

Fairphone has been a busted flush since they ditched the headphone jack. It’s just the most obvious sign amongst many they started making landfill phones.

Edit: Disregard. I have the 13, not the 12.

~~Normal laptop formfactor. You can have a touch screen as an option but it doesn’t do the full 360 fold round into a tablet.

I own one and the hinge goes 180.

It’s an excellent laptop, I grabbed one when the first AMD board was available and it runs Fedora flawlessly and has windows on an SSD when I need it.~~

No headphones jack.

Trash generating hypocrites.

HMD are doing everything better than fair phone now with their latest models. More repairable, more flexible, long term support and updates.

Cheaper too.
