That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.

I’d call that a file loaded to memory

In the long term, I believe the fediverse would be the right move. However most people struggle to think long-term outside of their own fields, and scientists are not immune to this phenomenon.

This legislation gives very broad power to the federal government to ban apps and platforms without any oversight. It might be TikTok today, but it could be Lemmy tomorrow.
whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Not even OpenAI's $200/mo ChatGPT Pro plan can turn a profitEnglish1·6 months agoFair. We’re using 4o and o1-mini right now, because access to the full o1 is waitlisted in Azure. However based on some brief review of their pricing for o1, I’d say we’re still going to save a metric fuckton of money compared to per-user subscriptions.
whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Not even OpenAI's $200/mo ChatGPT Pro plan can turn a profitEnglish9·6 months agoI run tech for a midsize business, and consult for several small businesses. Aside from one 4-person company, all of the businesses I oversee found it less expensive to host their own LLM in Azure than to pay for OpenAI’s subscriptions. I’m talking 10% of the cost of subscriptions for the same functionality.
The midsize business in particular has only seen measurable benefit from more specialized/global applications of “AI” tools, such as integrating machine learning into data analytics. There are a ton of people who use the LLM chat, but I think the mishaps caused by the LLM may have undone any efficiency gains. Either way, I’m sure glad they’re not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for it.

I’ve seen a lot of reporting about the more “conservative” ideologies growing in several EU countries as well. It’s so disheartening. The whole movement is just convincing average people to vote/protest/etc against their own best interests, and oh by the way, education is bad too so don’t get educated or you might see through the charade!
whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Canadian 'Freedom Convoy' protest leader found guiltyEnglish6·8 months agoHoly crap that’s wild. I can’t believe the right-wing disinformation campaign in the US is so extreme that it’s leaking beyond our borders.
Kinda reminds me of when the “sovereign citizens” claim that they are a “vessel” and therefore fall under maritime law.
“Whoa, you sure do know some words that are tangentially related to the matter at hand.”
whatwhatwhatwhat@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Canadian 'Freedom Convoy' protest leader found guiltyEnglish22·8 months agoPeople in the US like to cry first amendment (freedom of speech, etc) any time something they say has consequences.
- Sexually harass a coworker? Freedom of speech!
- Business owner says something bigoted and people stop patronizing their business? Freedom of speech!
Funny how the same people with wE tHe PeOpLe bumper stickers are the ones who haven’t actually bothered to read the bill of rights.

Data breaches at big companies may be what makes the news, but small businesses (and other organizations) are compromised far more often.
