Laser printers use toner.

3·6 天前The environmental regulation already exists. It’s just not enforced.
Because federal agencies are captured by special interests and gutted.

Somehow they saw that and said “Hold my Beer” and went out of their way to ensure their users get maximum RSI pain.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What are the platforms on the Fediverse doing to prevent data scraping and prevent bots?English
5·12 天前The Fetaverse is wholly and entirely unprepared for bots. Data scraping is a given. It’s completely open to the internet. There’s nothing stopping it.
Things like Lemmy are ill prepared to handle bots from the mid-2010s. Never mind bots of yesteryear, and never mind bots of today.
If you don’t know what you’re talking about, why comment at all? Get that shit out of here and go back to Reddit with it.

3·13 天前Agent loops for SWE burn a LOT of tokens.
I’m unfortunately temporarily disabled and can’t use my hands for another 2 months. So I’ve leaned heavily into AI based workflows to keep my job in the meantime.
Aside from the nightmare of keeping quality high, not atrophying skills, and avoiding a lack of domain knowledge. It works reasonably okay.
Token usage is insane though. A productive day might cost a few hundred dollars in tokens all things considered. Quality is expensive as well, a good 1/4 of that are automated systems that exist to identify defects, quality, coherence…etc issues early.

62·13 天前Mixed bag.
There are legitimately high value problems that AI works well against. But ungoverned proliferation has a net negative ROI across complex and difficult to measure areas.
When applied expertly, it works great. When blindly handed to your entire workforce as a panacea, not so much

94·14 天前Oh, there are definitely ethical ways to use these models. It’s just that those methods are not being enforced by local counties or your governments. Thus, companies are able to do whatever the hell they want, which means it’s going to be unethical by default.
What we need is regulation, enforcement, and a stop letting these companies trample all over everything they want to.

141·16 天前I accidentally went to Google for the first time in months and was wtf’ing over how many results are sponsored.
The complaints about Kagi are valid, mostly, (there’s always that one guy that runs around complaining that Kagi uses Yandex). But damn I’ve gotten spoiled by the results and the ranking customization…

They vary greatly, even within the same device, even at the same rpm.

Technology@lemmy.world•SpaceX Stock Plunge Wipes Out $600 Billion After Cursor Deal Spooks InvestorsEnglish
21·27 天前I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, but you’re right. SpaceX made a lot of advancements on its rockets and in lowering the price per launch.
This is objective. This isn’t sentimental or arguable.






Indirect corporate sympathizing is what this is.
Blame consumers for the abuse and malpractice of corporations who SHOULD be publicly regulated.
This viewpoint encourages their practices by peddling the same logic these corporations use to continue justifying their practices.
