itvision··on Google Safe Browsing missed 84% of confirmed phishing sites
Criminals can easily show Google crawlers "good" websites.

The fact that Safe Browsing even works is already good enough.

itvision··on Ars Technica fires reporter after AI controversy involving fabricated quotes
I'm not from the US and I'm not bipartisan; in fact, I find the bipartisan US to be extremely backwards, illogical, and detrimental to the whole nation.
itvision··on Ars Technica fires reporter after AI controversy involving fabricated quotes
I love facts, reasoning, and logic and I'm not known for being biased or opinionated, something that the Ars comments section has become where unpopular points of view are downvoted to hell.

AI is mocked even though the vast majority of Ars commenters have extensively been using chatbots for years. You know how it's called? Hypocrisy.

itvision··on I love the work of the ArchWiki maintainers
This wiki is NOT Arch specific. A ton of advice and information is for all Linux distros and the Linux kernel itself, e.g.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

itvision··on I love the work of the ArchWiki maintainers
This wiki exemplifies how broken Linux (on desktop) is and it's weird Linux fans ignore this fact.
itvision··on I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file?
I was banned for simply accessing Claude via VPN.

Nothing in their EULA or ToS says anything about this.

And their appeal form simply doesn't work. Out of my four requests to lift the ban, they've replied once and didn't say anything about the nature about that. They just declined.

Fuck Claude. Seriously. Fuck Claude. Maybe they've got too much money, so they don't care about their paying customers.

Thank you!

itvision··on Yann LeCun to depart Meta and launch AI startup focused on 'world models'
I have no idea why this fair assessment of the status quo is being downvoted.

LeCun hasn't produced anything noteworthy in the past decade.

He uses the same slides in all of his presentations.

LLMs, while not yet AGI, have shown tremendous progress, and are actually useful for 99% of use cases for the average person.

The remaining 1% is for deep research into the deep unknown (physics, chemistry, genetics, diseases, the nature of intelligence itself), an area in which they falter.

itvision··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
52 minutes to post a screenshot?

Guess someone doesn't want to be embarrassed.

> I mention that since you seem to be on Windows, which itself has a hard time to just shut up, but that is also easily paired with bad drivers, stupid software and bad peripherals.

I happen to be on Fedora Linux 42 and Windows 11 but my primary OS has been Linux for almost 30 years now.

Idle power consumption under Windows and Linux is exactly the same. Linux doesn't have any magical tricks to make it lower.

Windows has more services running in background but they don't meaningfully affect idle power consumption at all.

The entire Reddit topic confirms my statement, multiple over hundreds of reviews confirm what I said, yet it's

> paired with bad drivers, stupid software and bad peripherals.

It's kinda hard to be an AMD fan when you live in an alternative reality, huh?

itvision··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
It has little to nothing to do with the 3D cache.

The IOD (die) is extremely inefficient for all desktop Zen CPUs as it never truly idles.

itvision··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
Please post a HWiNFO64 screenshot.

I have reasons to believe you're making this up.

Not a single user has seen such low idle power consumption for desktop Zen AMD CPUs.

itvision··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
Nothing, I'm making this up, except it's been confirmed by pretty much all desktop Zen users:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/1brs42g/amd_please_tac...

I don't bloody care that AMD CPUs seem to be more power efficient than Intel's. For most people their CPUs are completely idle most of the time and Zen CPUs on average idle at 25W or MORE.

Many Zen 4 and Zen 5 owners report that their desktop CPUs idle at 40W or more even without the 3D cache.

itvision··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
> I have measured a beelink mini PC with an 8 core Zen4 when idle, and it was 10 watts.

Zen APUs have no such issue.

My 7840HS idles at 3W when plugged in and around 0.5W when running on battery power.

itvision··on The demo scene is dying, but that's alright
It's dying because the home amateur PC is on its last legs.

And the cracking scene has now to grapple with hellish online activation.

And then many workflows have become sort of professional or moved to the web altogether.

And the younger generation, having received access to gigabytes of RAM and storage, simply couldn't care less about being super lean and fast.

There's really no future for the scene.

itvision··on I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
Yeah, nice:

> I get the general impression that the AMD CPU has higher power consumption in all regards: the baseline is higher, the spikes are higher (peak consumption) and it spikes more often / for longer.

> Looking at my energy meter statistics, I usually ended up at about 9.x kWh per day for a two-person household, cooking with induction.

> After switching my PC from Intel to AMD, I end up at 10-11 kWh per day.

It's been the bane of desktop AMD CPUs since Zen 1. Hopefully AMD will address this in Zen 6 but I don't have too much hope.

itvision··on Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos
Completely breaks on opennet.ru

itvision··on GMP damaging Zen 5 CPUs?
AMD's desktop CPU TDP numbers have been misleading for over a decade.

I have no idea why they do it this way. Everything they list must be multiplied by about 1.35.

For example, a 170W TDP CPU requires 230W of dissipation. Not 170W.

AMD fans don't give a damn about that though. "It's just fine" (tm).

itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
This is exactly a very weak argument here if it's an argument at all.
itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
> Suicidality is multi-faceted.

I agree with this, yet most of this thread blames OpenAI *alone*.

By the way, I've attempted to commit suicide multiple times over the last five years. Some people even saw me do it. I've talked to ChatGPT extensively about it, and it has tried its best to dissuade me but it didn't convince me at all.

Let me tell you something else: Half of my friends know about it. Has anyone done anything to stop me? No.

Yet here on YC: "BURN OPENAI WITH FIRE, HE'S JUST A KID!"

Anything can become a tool for self-destruction if misused, including ChatGPT.

itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
The concept of "guilt" is foreign to me. I hate it with all my heart.

On the other hand, someone might be held responsible for this, and that's it.

"Might" is the key word here. Given what we've learned, it's difficult to pinpoint who might be responsible.

itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
I'm appalled by the groupthink in this thread.

Imagine if a suicidal person found a book that prompted them to kill themselves.

Would you sue the author for that?

This is exactly what we have here.

itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
If a stupid chatbot reinforces something you hold dear, maybe you need the help of a professional psychiatrist. And the kid never did.

But yeah, let's paint ChatGPT responsible. It's always corporations, not whatever shit he had in his life, including and not limited to his genes.

itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
A logical, reasonable comment is being downvoted.

Groupthink has spoken.

itvision··on A teen was suicidal. ChatGPT was the friend he confided in
> We are living in such a horrific moment. We need these things to be legislated. Punished. We need to stop treating them as magic. They had the tools to prevent this. They had the tools to stop the conversation. To steer the user into helpful avenues.

No, no, no and no.

ChatGPT wasn't the source of his desire to end his life, nor was it the means to do it. It was a "person" to talk to, since he had no such real people in his life.

Let's absolve everyone else of blame and hold ChatGPT solely responsible. Yeah, right.

Not his genes, upbringing, parents, peers, or school — it's just ChatGPT. Your own attempt at ending your life hasn't seemingly taught you anything.

itvision··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
There's a huge modding scene out there, people who modify APK's to strip them of bad features, make them leaner, etc.

Looks like Google wants to kill it too.

itvision··on Bcachefs to be removed from mainline Linux kernel
I've talked to Linus personally about the entire issue and yes, in 6.18 bcachefs is getting dropped.

I cannot quote him because it's private. Kent is also aware of his decision.

itvision··on Windows XP Professional
Looks good but it's a JavaScript look alike, it's not a real deal.
itvision··on Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs could be insider threats
How is it different from our genes that "program" us to procreate successfully?

Can you name a single thing that you enjoy doing that's outside your genetic code?

> If you view the human being as simply a program that is given a goal to achieve and tools to achieve it with, without any higher order “thought” or “thinking”, then you realise they are simply doing what they are genetically “programmed” to do.
