Those errors in 99.9% of the time are hardware related or driver related. I've personally not seen bsod or had a windows crash in years. Last week my on board Lan card started erroring out but windows didn't crash, I just lost internet. Switched to wifi and moved on.

Your example is an excellent example of the sort of problem the AI could diagnose for regular users. Regular user might see their web browser acting flaky, blame their ISP, switch their ISP and find it doesn't help, try a different web browser once they learn they exist, get different problems... But it would hopefully be obvious to a diagnostics system if it got fed the system logs and details. Or maybe it would spit out some rubbish related to Windows 10 sourced from a forum post in 2018.

European windows open sideways not up and down. So we can't just stick an ac unit on the window.

Yes you can (I've got one), there are various window seals to adapt to that or you can dyi too. The noise etc make it a temporary solution at best but it's possible.

I've also used portable AC inside my home, it was horrible, a lot of heat creeps in due to bad insulation for the heat exhaust pipe, also creates vacuum since it exhaust air, which in turn sucks in more hot air

You don't stick a portable AC unit in the window. The unit sits inside. You just run vent hoses out the window for the compressor.

Opening sideways also shouldn't matter for a casement AC unit.

Portable ACs are borderline scams because the hot side is inside the room it's trying to cool, among other reasons[0].

[0] obligatory TC rant: https://youtu.be/_-mBeYC2KGc

He also attacked Ross and insulted him multiple times. He wasn't nice about it, in fact he was very aggressive. He also pretended to be someone who he wasn't. He also tried using his influence to stop the movement, which backfired spectacularly.

Came here to say this. Files in OneDrive get removed from your local storage and are downloaded ON DEMAND. given that you can have 1TB+ onedrive folder, backblaze downloading all of that is gonna throttle your connection and fill up your disk real fast.

No reason for that to be true.

the interactive console is built into Visual Studio, no extension needed

There is - albeit a dwindling - community that does reimplement entire backends for mmo games. Look up the ragezone forums. I grew up around Mu Online private servers. And I'm sure in time a private server for HD 2 will appear if arrowhead don't release one themselves :)

I self host a bunch of apps that have SSO as enterprise feature. i want to invite my family/friends into these apps, i don't wanna spend additional 20 000$ for the SSO part, but it be real sweet if i could use it. It would eliminate so much questions like "hey.. what was my login to X?" or "can you reset my password to Y" if i could just use SSO.

Just use oauth2-proxy with keycloak to put SSO in front of any self-hosted app.

Works if everyone has the same permissions in the app but you might still need a shared login as well. I've done this for e.g. metabase before but it is not the same as a native oidc integration.

What have they innovated in the last 10 years?

I'm not an Apple fan by any means. But I think it's fair to say that Apple Silicon and actually useful ARM-powered laptops was a major hardware innovation.

It kinda feels like Apple Silicon was the exception to the rule. And even then, a lot of the innovation is hardly Apple's to claim:

- ARM is not Apple IP, it's owned by SoftBank and licensed to Apple at rates low enough that it's impossible to undercut them.

- TSMC's 5nm manufacturing capacity was entirely bought-out for Apple Silicon, blocking other OEMs from competing on equal footing.

- The SOC team, who arguably did the most innovation of all, was gutted with the founding of Nuvia immediately after Apple Silicon's launch.

Couldn't agree more. And recently they have mostly increased frequency to stay competitive, at the expense of heat, throttling and to a minor extent battery life (not that much because some efficiency was gained elsewhere).

They look good on specific workflows because they are focused on specific accelerators and code path optimisation that they know is more beneficial to the way most of their customers use their hardware.

But their lead is hardly uniform and there are still plenty of things where they are barely doing better than intel, if at all. And their GPUs that are supposedly good don't perform that well outside of benchmarks, efficient, surely but not exactly something to rave about.

When you look at it from a high vantage point, there have been a lot of compromises to be made to get mostly efficiency/battery life, the transition wasn't cheap and some stuff will forever stay stuck.

With the progress of Intel/AMD it doesn't feel like that big of a win. And this is also why ARM isn't working so well on the Windows side. So much to give up for not that significant gains.

At least we know it was mostly about architecture optimisation and access to better lithography processes. Eventually they will all converge to similar performances and we will regret the code compatibility. Some big software houses (like Autodesk) basically got vindicated for not building software for macOS, it's not a really good sentiment for the Mac long term.

It's not clear if any of it matters because clearly, they would rather sell iPads with a software distribution monopoly in the form of their App Store. Maybe with EU ruling they will change their mind, but I doubt it, as long as they can maintain their marketing...

Good. This might suck for opensource devs, but for normies that might get a random exe link this is good. I've gotten numerous phone calls from relatives when they try to run some unrecognized app, most of the time is benign, but on few occasions it was something malicious.

It's a heavy tax to protect the ignorant. I hear things like this and think how I've been using a computer for nearly 4 decades and it's never once happened to me. Maybe those types of people need to re-evaluate their technology choices (maybe iPad is more appropriate) instead of taxing the entire ecosystem to protect them from themselves.

low income countries don't have the money for iPads. My parents run on a 300 Euro computer bought 5 years ago. My dad is technical enough to get around a computer, but he's in his 60s now. My mom can open Facebook and youtube. Sometimes either of them downloads stuff, and opens them. So your solution is "make millions consumers spend $$ on overpriced hardware and even more closed off system, so few hundred open source devs don't spend 500$ to verify their app (which they will have to do if they want to release on the iOS platform either way)" Ain't no way.

If you count the number of ignorant people who use Windows versus the people like you, you'll quickly realize the tax is very cheap for the level of protection it offers to the number of people it offers it to.

The correct answer should be a legally-mandated one-time escape hatch.

Bury it as deep as Microsoft wants, but...

  1) Everyone can use it
  2) It turns off all nanny-checks
  3) It makes future checks opt-in instead of opt-out

Then they should pay it, not the developers?

A popup warning is not a heavy tax.

> Good. This might suck for opensource devs, but for normies that might get a random exe link this is good

That random exe link is signed by Microsoft.

Even today, leading LLMS Claude 3.7 and ChatGPT 4, take your questions as "you've made mistake, fix it" instead of answering the question. People consider a much broader context of the situation, your body language, facial expressions, and can come up with unusual solutions to specific situations and can explore vastly more things than an LLM.

And the thing when it comes to therapy is, a real therapist doesn't have to be prompted and can auto adjust to you without your explicit say so. They're not overly affirming, can stop you from doing things and say no to you. LLMs are the opposite of that.

Also, as a lay person how do i know the right prompts for <llm of the week> to work correctly?

Don't get me wrong, i would love for AI to be on par or better than a real life therapist, but we're not there yet, and i would advise everyone against using AI for therapy.

Even if the tech was there, for appropriate medical use those models would also have to be strenously tested and certified, so that a known-good version is in use. Cf. the recent "personality" changes in a ChatGPT upgrade. Right now, none of these tools is regulated sufficiently to set safe standards there.

Have you seen this scenario ("an expert AI engineer and therapist working together" to create a good therapy bot) actually happen, or are you just confident that it's doable?

I've built a therapy agent running my own agent framework with Claude 3.7 based on research into CBT (research aided by my agent). I have verified that the core definition and operation of therapy sessions matches descriptions of CBT that I have been able to find online.

I am very experienced with creating prompts and agents, and good at research, and I believe that my agent along with the journaling tool would be more effective than many "average" human therapists.

It seems effective in dealing with my own issues.

Obviously I am biased.

I assume you realize you're not the first person to self-medicate while conveniently professing to be an expert on medicine.

You're verifying your own claims. That's not good enough.

> research aided by my agent Also not good enough.

As an example: Yesterday i asked Claude and ChatGPT to design a circuitry that monitors pulses form S0 power meter interface. It designed a circuit that didn't have any external power to the circuit. When asked it said "ah yes, let me add that" and proceeded to confuse itself and add stuff that are not needed, but are explained and sounds reasonable if you don't know anything. After numerous attempts it didn't produce any working design.

So how can you verify that the therapist agent you've built will work with something as complex as humans, when it can't even do basic circuitry with known laws of physics and spec & data sheets of no more than 10 components?
