it's arguably harder to make an extension system when you can't write your own broswer and you'd have no way to distribute them either because the platform dictator doesn't allow it
How does it affect binary size? Node's SEA (embedding script+node into a single binary) is slowly maturing so smaller binary sizes would benefit distribution.
Just get a modern Sony TV and be done with it. They perfected Motionflow to the point where you no longer think about framerate (choppiness nor soap opera). It's clearly a priority, probably because they are the only manufacturer with their own studios (Columbia/Sony pictures). There is a reason people pay the $800+ Sony tax over any TV that has the same panel.
The Sony tax is because ads on Sony TVs can all be turned off. Plenty of TVs have their price subsidized by ads, where as when going through initial setup, I've had Sony TVs with ads disabled by default and questions asking if you want to turn them on.
Sadly disabling "recommended content" on the Google TV launcher also disabled voice search from the remote, but I am pretty sure that is a Google problem and not something Sony chose.
(Also my Sony TV cannot stay connected to my WiFi network for more than half an hour before I have to toggle WiFi on and off again...)
It took me several tries to find it but the Projectivy launcher ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.pro... ) is a great replacement for the Android/Google TV launcher like it used to be, with no "suggestions" -- just your content.
But definitely use the "override current launcher" setting. The description implies this is a "only if you're having problems" option, but I find it makes a variety of subtle things work the way they should.
Fire Stick and Roku are worse for ads than what Sony ships.
To clarify, my TV shows a list of apps, and that is it, aside from a single "suggested channel" at top I cannot get rid of.
No content previews, no "watch now!" no special promos, just a list of apps.
To explain a bit more what I said up above, Sony TVs cost more than other TVs with identical specs, ~$200-$300 USD more, but compared to a mid-range LG or Samsung, Sony opts you out of advertising by default (the initial setup is hilarious, for the most part you'd have to manually select a bunch of checkboxes to opt into tracking!).
This is all good to know because I am in the market for a new TV. I am not a fan of anything LG has ever made. I always jokingly repeat the joke that LG stands for "Low Grade." I have had good success with LG monitors, but laptops, phones, and other electronics in the past were nightmares.
So, my choices are really between Sony and Samsung, and I think I might just bite the bullet on the Sony and pay the extra amount.
To get the list of just apps UI you need to enable an option in settings that will disable all content recommendations, if you want to go that far. It also turns off all the "continue watching" UI elements. I forget what the setting is called, but I do remember it is setting for the Google TV launcher.
That doesn't make sense. Are you saying these TV's still butcher the original artistic intent of the creators for the sake of arbitrary petty consumer desires to have their expensive TV purchase be justified?
But they just do it better than the other manufacturers do?
C'mon, that's a reddit-level wilful misinterpretation of what he actually said. I mean, look:
Are you saying the original artistic intent of the creators to insert unskippable ads at the beginning of the disc is more important than the consumer's right to control the playback of the content they bought? Plus I heard it might kill babies.
I have an A80J and it’s possibly the best panel I’ve owned/seen in any house that didn’t have something similar. My dad who is a big movie buff with an Atmos HiFi actually got one like a month later after being a big LG fan.
It's easy, but expensive. ;) Search for Digital Trends on youtube, they have a lot of videos about this. Their current "budget" pick seems to be the Sony Bravia X90L.
Are they changing their interpolation settings based on source material? Some TVs will disable motion interpolation when they detect 24 frame rate content.
I own one, and can say that Motionflow produces uneven results. In certain scenes it kicks in, while completely ignoring others. Still has a way to go.
Bit the don’t tax almost three years ago on an A80J. Honestly the best panel I’ve had. Probably going to buy another Sony panel to replace a circa 2012 4K Samsung.
Newpipe is great for background listening and PIP (window can be resized/moved). For downloading, Seal reigns supreme. You can 'share' a video to the app and it downloads the video right away.
It makes sense from a business perspective. Get a 'brand' product instead of some obscure free PHP clone, so you can say you have assurances for business continuity through support/fixes/security patches. Price and the god awful performance aside.
Also imagine all such exposed data sources including those that are not yet discovered... are crawled and trained on by GPT5.
Meanwhile a big enterprise provider like MS suffers a bigger leak and exposes MS Teams/ OneDrive / SharePoint data of all its North America customers say.
Boom we have GPT model that can autonomously run whole businesses.
Concerning, as their lingo would say. According to the below article this will also screw over open-source developers and data scientists:
Open Source LLMs Not Exempt:
Open source foundational models are not exempt from the act. The programmers and distributors of the software have legal liability. For other forms of open source AI software, liability shifts to the group employing the software or bringing it to market.
I doubt the source and its interpretation. LAION, one major open source developer, just didnt complain about the AI Act and they would be one affected by the law.
> OpenAI has no leverage (e.g. terminating service).
Uhh... the United States Justice system? Prior art is morally nice but ultimately meaningless unless a judge agrees with you, which can cost a lot of money before you get there, if you get there.
"ChatGPT" is a distinctive brand name for OpenAI's particular chatbot system that is based on GPT technology.
However, "GPT" itself is a type of technology (albeit one that was invented by OpenAI). It involves much more than just ChatGPT...even if we just look at OpenAI's own other offerings (e.g. GPT-1, GPT-2, Dall-E, etc.).
The "GP" (generative pretraining) has been a concept in machine learning for many years. The "T" (transformer architecture) was invented in 2017. Thus, the issue for the USPTO will be whether or not combining the "GP" with the "T" is too descriptive or even inherently generic to be "distinctive" to OpenAI.
Sometimes, general terms can become trademarks, by becoming "distinctive" to one company. Microsoft was able to do it with "Windows" (in the field of software, of course). And "booking.com" was able to trademark the word "booking" (for reservation services) in certain contexts. The issue will be whether OpenAI can successfully make the case that they've achieved something similar for the term "GPT" itself. I really remain doubtful of that, given the term's frequent usage as being a type of LLM and a general framework for generative AI.
All that said, I suppose we'll all know for sure soon enough...when the USPTO decides.
Your link doesn't go through for me, but this page[1] says
>LIVE/APPLICATION/Under Examination
>The trademark application has been accepted by the Office (has met the minimum filing requirements) and that this application has been assigned to an examiner.
Which, apart from some grammatical confusion, is pretty clear. It looks like they have GPT-3, but GPT, ChatGPT, and GPT-4 are all still pending.
