Labor is relatively cheap despite how much IT is raking in at the moment. Most developers in Poland are registered as sole proprietors which contributes to one of highest rates of self-employment in Europe (source). Tax system favors those over regular work contracts leading to regressive burden (source) and to the point we could be classified as tax haven. Also means those developers are not covered under normal labor protection.

Series X is my first Xbox after lifetime with Sony and Nintendo. There are barely any new games on next gen consoles so I'm using this opportunity to catch up with Xbox back catalog. Backwards compatibility is so nice that I ended up doing unexpected playthrough of Final Fantasy XIII among some other oldies. I also ended up doing loads of split screen gaming with my gf - started with Halo but we're on second BG3 playthrough (after going back to Divinity 1&2).

You could convince Elon to do this by telling him it would be terrible for internet preservation.

That's because ChatGPT and the likes use machine learning to calculate odds of word combinations that make up a plausible sentence in a given context. There are scientific studies that postulate we'll never have enough data to train those models properly, not to mention exponential energy consumption required. But this is not the only application of this technology.

It can do statistics and probability incredibly well. Chatbots are gross waste of that capability but it's proving to be quite capable in areas where lots of brute force computation was required before (like in biotech).

AI is math, statistics specifically.

I can't recommend this enough.

I use couple of devices that are nearing end of support - iPhone XS, 1st gen Apple TV 4k (which is iPhone 7 essentially) and they perform admirably well. iOS 16 was pretty bad at times but it was mostly resolved with iOS 17.
