Right, so what is the point in bringing it up?

“Sony just released a new 150 megapixel mirrorless digital camera!”

“Cameras have been a thing since the 1800’s…”

It has yes, however the techniques Carmack used in Doom’s engine probably don’t have much of an impact on something like Cyberpunk 2077.

Right, it needs the NPU because the data is stored and processed locally. Guess what, your computer/OS already knows everything you do.

Yet another nothing-burger for the internet to rage about.

I don’t use Windows for other reasons, but every useful application I use on a daily basis has some sort of history. Browsers remember pages I’ve visited, my editor has undo levels, terminal has a searchable scrollback buffer, my shell can recall pretty much every command I’ve ever run.

And yet none of them work together. I’ve been thinking about Recall though, and I think the only use case I would have would be to have it summarize my daily activities on a work machine. Quite often I join morning standups, or a standup after a long weekend, and I’m like “wtf did I do yesterday?”. I’d love to have an AI remind me I spent 3 hours on Teams dealing with a co-worker’s issue, or how long I spent researching something in order to reply to an e-mail.

Or when you notice you have a follow-up meeting on your calendar and you’ve completely forgotten what the action items you were supposed to handle from the meeting 2 weeks ago.

Basically there’s a ton of QOL activities computers could be doing that require some sort of artificial intelligence to index and retrieve in order to be useful. That involves allowing some sort of local AI access to that data, but as long as the crowd of smooth brained luddites keeps whining that goal is getting further away…

Have you looked at the list of affected countries? Are you really that upset that these titles aren’t available (for purchase) in places like Haiti and Afghanistan?

Sure, we could talk about the evils of capitalism all day long, but this isn’t the place for it.

The reality is if a car manufacturer wanted to break into the luxury EV market and wasn’t sure if they should make a mid-sized family sedan or a 2 door coupe, do they just pump billions into R&D and hope for the best, risking the jobs of thousands of employees and entire communities in the process? Do they call BMW/Tesla/Audi/Mercedes/etc and ask them for their sales data?

No, they go buy that information from a market research firm, who buys that data from BMW/Tesla/Audi/Mercedes.

PII data controls are an important aspect of privacy, but blanket statements like “no one, anywhere, ever should sell my data” are childish.

I used to think that way, but the reality is I’m a huge fan of data driven decision making and the biggest consumers of customer data are market research brokers.

On linux? No thanks.

I have 4 different browsers installed, I use Chrome for work activities, as it supports the Outlook and Teams PWA’s and I’m not browsing ad-ridden sites. I use qutebrowser for personal stuff/bookmarks, and Firefox for uh, video browsing.

Maybe because it doesn’t work? I uploaded a picture of someone I know, it found 2 ‘free’ results, neither of them matched, but it then offered me a ‘deep search’ for only $20.47.

And at the end of the day, the responsibility is still on YOU to quit fucking uploading your mug everywhere and making it publicly searchable.
