132·16 days agoOh man. I hope Dolby looses. Patents are way too long and benefit so few that I think they shouldn’t be justified/exist in society. Also some stuff should be decided in court to be essential technology and patents/claims should then be dissolved/voided.
The Clock Man by Shel Silverstein
“How much will you pay for an extra day?” The clock man asked the child.
“Not one penny,” the answer came.
“For my days are as many as my smiles.”
“How much will you pay for an extra day?” He asked when the child was grown.
“Maybe a dollar or maybe less, for I’ve plenty of days of my own.”
“How much will you pay for an extra day?” He asked when the time came to die.
“All of the pearls in all of the seas, and all of the stars in the sky.”

I wish there were some spinoff or something similar.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there something like Polymarket that supports Monero?
2·1 month agoActually monero is the only crypto that I consider useful even though it is POW. At least it provides advantages like privacy for its POW. Also there are more and more digital services accepting monero as payment. Bitcoin is POW and gives no value in return. In this regard Etherium is better imo too but still no privacy.
The main problem with monero is that running a pruned node needs like 80Gb of storage.
Grin/Mimblewimble might also be cool but I haven’t looked into it too much yet.

Technology@lemmy.world•New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical adviceEnglish
12·1 month agoSome of the SOTA models like gemini 3 pro are getting quite good at ballpark/estimations. I have fed it multiple complex formulas from my studies and some values. The end result is often quite close and similar in accuracy how I would do an estimation myself. (It is usually more accurate then my own ones.)
Now I don’t argue there is any consciousness or magic going on. But I think the generalization that is going on is quite something! I have trained ai models for various robot control and computer vision tasks. Compared to older machine learning approaches transformers are very impressive, computationally accessible and easy to use. (In my limited experience)

1·1 month agoWhen I was a child I played and really enjoyed AAA open world games with loads of collectibles like ACBF or Just cause 3.
Nowadays I enjoy rogue likes, story games and visual novels much more. It is less of a time sink and sometimes I really feel like I got value from it. Like insights into myself or reevaluating some beliefs.
Here are some story games I particularly enjoyed:
- Citizen Sleeper
- Epistory
- DDLC
- Novi News
- Oxenfree
- The wolf among us
- Frostpunk: Last Autumn>New Home>Fall of winterhome>Refugees>Arks
- Road 96
- Yes your grace
Rogue likes I enjoy:
- FTL
- Into the breach
- Hyperlight Drifter
- The king is watching
- Shattered Pixel Dungeon
- Out there. Omega edition.
- Banners of ruin.
- Inscription (particularly part 1)
Great puzzle games:
- Talos Principle 1
- Portal 2
- Superliminal
- Stanley Parable
Playing/Planned:
- Chants of sennar
- Outer Wilds
I think giving up or downvotes in the context of such a question is fine. It actually shows controversial opinions. Now I wouldn’t downvote if it didn’t have sufficient upvotes though.
I love my very high kelvin lights. They give this cozy surgical room vibe. When I have visitors I make them a little warmer.
