  • So you believe that Google is sharing the personal details of everyone that watches particular videos with some shady left wing cabal of pundits? Maybe it's just an inappropriate video.

    They even cited the exact episode, there are plenty of other ways to see that clip if you don't want to log in. And isn't it always republicans passing laws requiring ID for "adult content"?

  • If you believe that AI is "conscious" while it's processing prompts, and also believe that we shouldn't kill machine life, then AI companies are commiting genocide at an unprecedented scale.

    For example, each AI model would be equivalent to a person taught everything in the training data. Any time you want something from them, instead of asking directly, you make a clone of them, let it respond to the input, then murder it.
    That is how all generative AI works. Sounds pretty unethical to me.

    And, by the way, we do know exactly what happens inside processors when they're running, that's how processors are designed. Running AI doesn't magically change the laws of physics.

  • Are you sure vsync is disabled? It looks like you're getting a very consistent 144fps.

    I personally keep vsync enabled, but you should absolutely disable it if you're testing your hardware since it forces the fps to never exceed you monitor's refresh rate.

    As for throttling, it's only useful as a diagnosis tool. First and foremost you should be finding other people's benchmarks of your hardware (cpu/gpu) and running those benchmarks yourself at the same settings. Phoronix is a great resource for Linux benchmarks.

  • This looks mostly right. The precision slider is definitely only for the output, not calculations. The (up - 5/4 - down) is (always round up - round anything less than 0.5 down - always round down)

    What I'd like to know is how the A and F settings are different.

  • Do you have any proof they sold that data? I'd love to know why the plaintiffs settled out of court if they thought they could prove Apple is feeding every voice recording into their ads. They had to pay 5x as much just for slowing down old iPhones, actively selling voice recordings would undoubtedly be worth far more than that.

    The issue is that contractors had access to the recordings, which is certainly a breach of privacy, but not a grand conspiracy to target ads.

  • That Siri was bugged in a way that activated it unintentionally, which then sends recordings to Apple, is not in dispute. Turning that into "they're always recording your conversations" is a big leap. Why would the whistleblower that revealed the recordings being misused not bother mentioning that?

  • So Apple and Google have created the most sophisticated spyware known to man, so undetectable that tens of thousands of developers and researchers have never even seen a sign of it, and then they use the data for ads so sloppily that anyone can prove they're listening?
