don’t say it too loud the nerds on here will be angry at you (you’re already getting down voted for no reason)

do a blind test between ogg 320kbps which Spotify premium uses and FLAC and tell me your score then

my point is, if you’re not working on that audio, there is no audible difference between two

why all this fuss about lossless audio? Spotify premium is literally indistinguishable from lossless audio for 99.9% of the population and songs (because not all songs will be lossless or are even mastered in a way that makes a difference). granted if…

• you have the right hardware
• you have the ear trained to hear compression
• you picked a song that has audible compression artifacts however small they may be
• you are in a quiet room
• you are actively looking for compression artifacts

you may hear a difference. if you think otherwise, then do a lossy vs lossless blind test and be impressed that you actually cannot hear the difference most of the time (especially without actively looking for the artifacts)

such a large statement with such little evidence

It wouldn’t say corruption, I think it’s more that the law around the road was designed with a driver in mind, not with a company or even a robot. the consequences have been thought to hurt a person at fault because at the time only a person could drive

this would get a normal person’s car impounded and drivers license revoked. why can a company get away with it?

here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it

To let you skip the article, they are pausing sales to the USA on the base models of the framework 13, presumably because those are their lowest margin models. The two affected SKUs for the moment are the Intel 125H and Ryzen 7640U

That’s actually a good change. “Parody” accounts have spread uncountable amounts of misinformation during the last election. I remember some time ago there was a Justin Trudeau “parody” account that was obviously controlled by a very right wing person because they kept posting fake shit under the name of Trudeau

Their prefetching game is actually crazy

Nvidia users having to shutdown anyway because the computer will hang when trying to put it to sleep:

Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4

I know it can’t take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can’t. And that’s because most jobs aren’t doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt

Heh for me even the newest models like the new Claude are only really useful when I did the thinking and the initial code writing, and i ask it to simplify it or to make it use more efficient libraries/features. Because when asking it to do my work it produces shit, and im very junior level

I mean… Yeah, it pretty obviously was a mistake from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just as bad as the conspiracy theorists who think there’s a deep state controlling us with the 5g in the vaccines. Facebook don’t have any incentive to ban the word Linux, even they use it. It’s not like it’s a subject that would make their customers go away (like NSFW stuff for example). The shit I’ve seen people say “it’s probably Microsoft paying them to censor Linux users” as if 1. Linux is any threat to windows’s market share and 2. Microsoft didn’t intentionally keep Linux alive as a way to avoid antitrust lawsuits. Microsoft is big on Linux too with azure.

The big search engine crawlers like googles or Microsoft’s should respect your robots.txt file. This trick affects those who don’t honor the file and just scrape your website even if you told it not to

Hell Nvidia’s stock plummeted as well, which makes no sense at all, considering Deepseek needs the same hardware as ChatGPT.

It’s the same hardware, the problem for them is that deepseek found a way to train their AI for much cheaper using a lot less than the hundreds of thousands of GPUs from Nvidia that openai, meta, xAi, anthropic etc. uses

New soyjack unlocked?

I wouldnt tell anyone i use Reddit irl let alone Lemmy
