To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.

I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.

That’s just not how LLMs work, bud. It doesn’t have understanding to improve, it just munges the most likely word next in line. It, as a technology, won’t advance past that level of accuracy until it’s a completely different approach.

To me, the difference there is that the jokes about snake oil and homeopathy, healing crystals, or essential oils are roughly the same - e.g. “what do you call X that works and has been peer reviewed? Medicine.”

So far, there has been no equivalent positive usage in the crypto sphere. Medicine, though often administered to different levels, is a good idea in itself.

Actually, for most uses of crypto it’s attempting to muddle in and “add” value to a previous known-good thing. Is the comparison here that crypto is snake oil currency, snake oil databases, or snake oil contracts? In every case, to me, crypto is the snake oil salesman trying to sell you the brighter tomorrow - without adding anything positive, and often getting the heck out of dodge (or folding a company and moving on to, e.g. LLMs) before delivering on promises.

Out of interest, have you seen the recent headlines around Windows 11 stopping working on unsupported hardware that it had been installed on anyway?

Or, to use your example, reviews that don’t understand the product or play it for laughs. 😅

Hold up. Digital zoom is, in all the cases I’m currently aware of, just cropping the available data. That’s not reconstruction, it’s just losing data.

Otherwise, yep, I’m with you there.

I don’t think loss is what people are worried about, really - more injecting details that fit the training data but don’t exist in the source.

Given the hoopla Hollywood and directors made about frame-interpolation, do you think generated frames will be any better/more popular?

But it’s a hellishly expensive thing that seems to not attract enjoyment from current Firefox users, and seems unlikely to bring new users, and (again) seems to be prioritised over other things that could better use the money, like developers, so…

Why.

Really? Sent but not received, I guess? It seems like near any other method has things to show that you’ve sent it, that the server has received it, that the other user(s) received it, that they read it…

And images are… Well, very limited indeed. And costly, if we’re talking MMS!

To me, it’s definitely not the best choice - but I’m not in the states.

Seems like they assumed their original foot-in-the-door would hold the slam, here.

For what it’s worth, I think the £30 was a theoretical amount for the “everything video” service.

But yeah, as a mashup enthusiast I’m resigned to the idea that it’s never going to be well represented on streaming as a genre due to the concerns around licensing.

PlexAmp and Plex (and a few other things, I guess) are my solution, but it still means that link sharing with friends is an awkward mess.
