Wherever you're driving you want to be positioned towards the center of the road. Tesla are mad for selling these in the UK regardless of their 'stick'.
They are. I was going to say the UK's ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) are entirely impotent, however it appears they recently fined TikTok £12.7M for data misuse.
After what I think was the same Windows 10 update last month I noticed a giant Edge search bar planted in the middle of my desktop which I did not ask for. I've since rolled back the update and group policy disabled Windows Updates entirely
You can remove windows in quite a few more clicks, but it's ultimately worth it. Though I wouldn't put it past Canonical to add ads to the default desktop at some point.
At some point it's going to be worth calculating whether malware (the vast majority of which is mitigated by not running as admin) or the latest update is going to be more disruptive to your workflow.
At least on the systems I manage, workstation updates have been responsible for a lot larger share of the same kind of problems (data loss, availability loss, etc.) that I am starting to get questions that I don't have very convincing answers for.
I would rather have malware ---- at least it happened under my control.
However, I really wonder what kind of attack surfaces I may have, if I have zero exposed ports, never plug in any drive from untrusted sources, and always double and triple check any program before running? I haven't used any antivirus(including windows defender) since I got my first computer and never got any virus, also I monitor my running processes frequently and have an adequate knowledge of windows internals. Malwares are not like COVID-19...
PSA: Search for something called lolbin. Short for "living off the land binaries". Not every malware needs to have it's own process or will be easily identifiable when looking at a process list.
From my experience with their Plus plan GPT 4 usually just times out no matter what the prompt, forcing me to revert to 3.5. I'm not sure why I haven't asked for a refund yet.
As for Bing, despite the claims that it is GPT-4, it's clearly inferior to what OpenAI is offering. It's probably an older iteration of the model, and I wonder if it might also be a scaled-down version to run it cheaper at scale.
The Playground certainly does have GPT-4. I've been using it there for a couple of weeks. Maybe you need to have applied to the beta and been given access?
As for Bing? Who knows what's going on behind the scenes. I've read that the "Creative" mode uses GPT-4 while the others might use a faster model, but that may well be nonsense.
Ah, indeed, that access is still rather limited; most can only have a peek a GPT-4 through ChatGPT Plus.
As for Bing, I don't know what's behind the scenes, but it does noticeably worse on tasks in "Creative" mode than ChatGPT backend in GPT-4 mode, in my limited experiments. For example, try this:
> A is 1m left of B, B is 1m above C, D is 1m right of C, E is 1m below D, and E is 1m right of F. Where is F located relative to C?
GPT-4 can usually solve this correctly. Bing is usually wrong even when it tries to solve it step by step (and it often won't unless you prompt it).
Maybe it depends on time of day? I've been using GPT-4 mostly in the evenings CET and it's been responsive and fast the whole time, I've never seen a timeout.
I used MSFS a lot for practising VFR navigation / dead reckoning skills, very helpful for that with how good the scenery is. Not sure I could achieve the same in XPlane
It's only photorealistic if you use 10-20m DEM, otherwise any mountainous area just feels completely off and unrecognizable (try to fly over Alps with the default DEM, I couldn't recognize anything around Oberstdorf etc.)
Does Montserrat look realistic in FS 2020? I remember how recognizable it was from Tibidabo but I couldn't find it when I was flying around Barcelona last time.
I think it does yeah. You only see its iconic look really well from the Barcelona angle though! I'd have to check as I haven't really paid attention to it to be honest.
