Saw that many days ago. For a 4080 💻 with an 18-inch screen, I thought $ 2250 was cheap. I hope it's available in 🇵🇭 for that cost.

Only a few left Reddit due to the thing with the 3rd-party Reddit apps. :(

Don't fret. I'm 1 of those who switched to Lemmy. I've been enjoying Lemmy.

1 possible hurdle to entry is picking an instance. I wanted to say "Just pick any instance." but there are instances with no downvote feature. There are instances without porn. We can say "Just pick sopuli.xyz." It's a 👍 general suggestion. I didn't know that the instances are different when I signed up on Lemmy. Someone suggested lemmy.world. I followed him and here I am.

I'm an avid Marques fan, but for me, he didn't have to make that vid. It was just a set of comparisons. No new info. No interesting discussion. Instead he should've just shared that Wired podcast episode on his X.

I wonder if Apple is making their own large language model (llm) and it'll be released this year or next year. Or are they still musing re the cost-benefit analysis? If they think that an Apple llm won't earn that much profit, they may not make 1.

McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now in c/technology

Yes, 👍 apps.

The issue with touchscreen kiosks is that some have short arms.

On another note, I get the benefits of computer-voice-operated drive-thrus. No need to use your phone. If your phone's 🔋 is 3%, you can still buy food.

[Game Thread] 17 JUN 2024 - NBA FINALS GAME 5 in c/nba

[–] drawerair 4 points 1 week ago

Props to the Celtics. I think their high field goal percent was 1 of the factors behind their brilliance. Sometimes they were cold for a period of time, but they remained poised. So they usually avoided an offensive collapse.

:( for Irving. He had a clutch image and it was replaced by a choker image.

We need the 2016-Nba-finals Irving.

Doncic was the only Mav playing good. The Mavs will lose games 3 and 4 if this will continue. I hope this was just a road thing. I hope the other Mavs will play good at home.

My Samsung a70 doesn't get major software updates anymore. I'm OK with it. I'll use this as long as possible.

1 of the 👍 points that were brought up was artificial gatekeeping. Many techies know it but I guess many non-techies don't know it. Phone makers intentionally not putting the newest features on the old phones to boost the newest phones' sales should be widely known. I wonder what the public opinion will be.

I avoid those fees. No fee when we use Shopeepay. I hope it'll stay that way.

I always have some Shopee coins. I use the coins when my mom pays our bill on Shopee.

Irving should find ways to score. The other Mavs should aid Doncic offensively.

Intel said that its Lion cove is 10%–18% better than Redwood cove (self.semiconductors)

Intel said much re Lion cove lately. I don't wanna read a long article re it. I just want a comparison between it and Redwood cove. I just wanna share that it's about 10%–18% better. Let's await the Lunar lake 💻 and see the performance in programs. If what Intel said is true, props to them for continuously improving x86-architecture chips.

I like that the writer thought re climate change. I think it's been 1 of the biggest global issues for a long time. I hope there'll be increasing use of sustainable energy for not just data centers but the whole tech world in the coming years.

I think a digital waiter doesn't need a rendered human face. We have food ordering kiosks. Those aren't ai. I think those suffice. A self-checkout grocer kiosk doesn't need a face too.

I think "client help" is where ai can at least aid. Imagine a firm that's been operating for decades and encountered so many kinds of client complaints. It can feed all those data to a large language model. With that model responding to most of the client complaints, the firm can reduce the number of their client support people. The model will pass the complaints that are so complex or that it doesn't know how to address to the client support people. The model will handle the easy and medium complaints; the client support people will handle the rest.

Idk whether the government or the public should stop ai from taking human jobs or let it. I'm torn. Optimistically, workers can find new jobs. But we should imagine that at least 1 human will be fired and can't find a new job. He'll be jobless for months. He'll have an epic headache as he can't pay next month's bills.

Rog ally x and Asus' warranty issues (self.games)

Dave said that the Ally (not Ally x) was too cheap, maybe. Maybe Asus didn't include the cost of customer help in it. Hence the warranty issues.

I'm not convinced. Asus is a big firm. If they mistakenly made the Ally too cheap, they could eat the cost of customer help. It's just right to provide 👍 warranty service. And the Ally is their 1st handheld. They wanted to build a 👍 reputation. Also, other Asus items had warranty issues. They must fix their internal process.

The Lakers dismissed Darvin Ham (self.nba)

Sources tell ESPN that the Lakers dismissed Darvin Ham.

Yes! For me the missed challenge opportunity with Bron was Ham's biggest error in the Nuggets series. The 1 when Bron was so frustrated and the Nuggets got an easy basket.

Replacing Ham is a welcome improvement but it doesn't solve all the Lakers' issues.

They need a consistent scorer aside from AD and Bron. Ideally this scorer will be their top scorer. AD will be the 2nd scorer. Bron will be the 3rd.

They need a better 2nd unit. They'll provide some scoring and defense while AD and Bron are resting. Right now the roster is clearly shallow.

Of course, assuming that Bron will stay.
