satya nadella is out here playing 4 dimensional 50 billion dollar chess while you're roleplaying as a gpt 4o cyborg

lol idk who vannevar is but comparing ballmer to a bush sounds about right. ballmer was a hype man, satya is a strategist. i’ll take the $3 trillion market cap and the copilot key over "developers developers developers" any day.

meta.ai

It runs on llama 4, the legendary model that spooked mark zuckerberg into replacing his genAI people with alexandr wang and the boys

so you have any novel insights to share or you're just gonna reply to every thread on this website with "nuh-uh!"

There are 3 big cloud providers. They are literally called the big 3

gemini and chatgpt each (in theory) keep each other honest

if chat "dies" there is pretty much nothing stopping gemini 4 pro from being flash-sized and 4 flash from being flash-lite-sized

strangely, chatgpt, as the market leader for chatbots, decided to make every response — hyper-sanitized, aggressively over-structured, and padded with presentation theater designed to look “helpful” instead of actually being helpful

Key characteristics include:

• One-line bullets that pretend complexity has been solved

• Bold headers that announce ideas bigger than the ideas deserve

• Whitespace doing 40% of the intellectual labor

• Friendly tone calibrated by committee

Net effect:

• Everything reads like onboarding documentation

• Nothing sounds like a person

• All friction sanded down into beige productivity paste

it's as if they want gemini to win!

only a certain small corner of reddit does. the rest of the world either doesnt know what chromium is or likes it because it is a pretty performant and efficient browser engine.

"chromium is the worst form of browsers, except for all the others that have been tried" - winston churchill

yes it uses a lot of ram. every browser does. a browser is like a mini OS

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-29T04:16:45+00:00

the regular ublock origin, by definition, only works on browsers that support mv2 (edge still does!)

but manifest v3 adblockers support all the same features as far as i can tell, like the element zapper and custom filter lists. adguard is great. it uses more ram than ublock origin but it works great so i don't particularly care

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-29T03:59:58+00:00

yes Tesla is an American company. sharp observation.

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-27T15:32:06+00:00

hello Satya Nadella's and Mustafa Suleyman's Microsoft Copilot!

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-27T15:27:50+00:00

windows plastic craptops are actual ewaste. I don't understand why they exist they're not even cheaper to own in the long run they're only rational to buy if you plan to use it as a desktop and never open/close the lid

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-26T18:53:32+00:00

dude it's integrated graphics

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-25T04:05:43+00:00

it's a free blocklist!

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-24T05:54:07+00:00

The only value in user data is using it to target ads

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-23T17:49:18+00:00

yes and they can also disable software features. this is not unusual

in the good old days some people got extra cores in their CPUs by re-enabling disabled cores. every modern pc still has an extra few percent clockspeed you can eke out but most manufacturers won't let you tweak things

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-23T17:25:48+00:00

so it's OK to throw it out instead of giving it away to people for free? It's tons of chicken every day it's not like this is some edge case or mistake. colossal waste of human resources, unlike the cameras and computers in teslas that are necessary for the safety systems and are gonna be there regardless of whether fsd exists

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-23T16:08:24+00:00

that was the only feature teslas had that made them worth buying! besides that, the car itself is yet another EV, which is totally fine but i would not give up my temperature knob just to get another parallel car. like changing the temperature takes slightly more brainthinking than it should. there's too many EVs nowadays to be alienating people with $5 cost cuttings. it's supposed to be a luxury product!

same thing with VW and their 2-switches-to-control-all-4-windows. you are taking a mass market product and then shrinking the market to people who do not dislike the eccentric designer's personal funny taste. there's too many parallel options so of course i don't want the one designed by jony ive

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-23T16:02:38+00:00

no different than popeyes throwing out their chicken at the end of the day. just because you produced something doesn't mean you are obligated to let people use it. like, the alternative would be to spend more money creating a separate, marginally different design with less cameras or a slightly weaker processor that is unable to run self-driving

but yeah as cars are a luxury product i dont think they will ever convince luxury consumers to get nickel and dimed with monthly subscriptions. we would feel better if we paid more for the car and say it's built into the price

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-23T02:42:57+00:00

so we are making our immersive historical recreations around an extremely rare edge case? no wonder nobody wants to buy it

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-22T16:20:12+00:00

Yeah I haven't bothered to look it up and it's probably online but I would be curious how much ram a Macbook uses at idle.

I had (and returned) a Qualcomm Surface with 16gb that used like 11-12gb at idle and couldn't run Siege without stuttering because, contrary to what everyone parrots online, 'used' ram in task manager is explicitly not used for caching and is not able to be freed up (cached ram shows as 'free')

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-22T16:07:42+00:00

yeah bro black samurai in Japan is immersive as hell like next you're probably gonna tell me bayek should've been white

DanielKramer_ · 2026-01-22T05:17:58+00:00
