I think I'd miss the free shipping and I might have to actually put things in a cart and wait until I reach minimum order to checkout. I could easily live without video and when I actually went to watch something on it the other day the ads were already enough to turn me off

Yeah the headline kind of implies that these were new revelations. It's pretty much what you'd expect though.

It's an interesting area. Are they suggesting that a human reading copyright material and learning from it is a breach?

Don't count on it. It turns out that the sort of stuff that graphics cards do is good for lots of things, it was crypto, then AI and I'm sure whatever the next fad is will require a GPU to run huge calculations.

Yeah, I'm a data engineer and I get that there's a lot of potential in analytics with AI, but you don't need to hire a data engineer with LLM experience for aggregating payroll data.

Back in those early days many applications didn't have proper timing, they basically just ran as fast as they could. That was fine on an 8mhz cpu as you probably just wanted stuff to run as fast as I could (we weren't listening to music or watching videos back then). When CPUs got faster (or it could be that it started running at a multiple of the base clock speed) then stuff was suddenly happening TOO fast. The turbo button was a way to slow down the clock speed by some amount to make legacy applications run how it was supposed to run.

Actually you pressed it and everything got 2x slower. Turbo was a stupid label for it.

Only until the AI model has sufficient data from the captchas you're doing.

Just the people who are enacting these laws

People in care really need to stop visiting New Zealand!

It'll come out in 2035.

And yet they love the man you cheated on his wife with a porn star.
