    This post makes it look like there's something serious ly wrong with openvpn, but it's just them not wanting to deal with it and deprecating it. Oh well, guess Ill put a note not to use them. My country blocks VPN protocols and wg specifically, so for my usecase I need as many protocols supported as possible, preferrably mimicking other innocuous protocols.

    220 million reasons why you shouldn't have a prime account. edit: Jesus Christ, y'all know I'm right that's why you can't say anything back.

    That has always been the two big problems with AI. Biases in the training, intentional or not, will always bias the output. And AI is incapable of saying "I do not have suffient training on this subject or reliable sources for it to give you a confident answer". It will always give you its best guess, even if it is completely hallucinating much of the data. The only way to identify the hallucinations if it isn't just saying absurd stuff on the face of it, it to do independent research to verify it, at which point you may as well have just researched it yourself in the first place. AI is a tool, and it can be a very powerful tool with the right training and use cases. For example, I use it at a software engineer to help me parse error codes when googling working or to give me code examples for modules I've never used. There is no small number of times it has been completely wrong, but in my particular use case, that is pretty easy to confirm very quickly. The code either works as expected or it doesn't, and code is always tested before releasing it anyway. In research, it is great at helping you find a relevant source for your research across the internet or in a specific database. It is usually very good at summarizing a source for you to get a quick idea about it before diving into dozens of pages. It CAN be good at helping you write your own papers in a LIMITED capacity, such as cleaning up your writing in your writing to make it clearer, correctly formatting your bibliography (with actual sources you provide or at least verify), etc. But you have to remember that it doesn't "know" anything at all. It isn't sentient, intelligent, thoughtful, or any other personification placed on AI. None of the information it gives you is trustworthy without verification. It can and will fabricate entire studies that do not exist even while attributed to real researcher. It can mix in unreliable information with reliable information becuase there is no difference to it. Put simply, it is not a reliable source of information... ever. Make sure you understand that.

    I'm sorry but that capitalisation is really off-putting. You're Not Writing A Headline You Know

    Which big companies lose money? Frontier or other companies? People switch where? To frontier or away from frontier? Who has faster internet? Frontier or frontier competitors? What does it matter that there are leftists and centrists in the state? How does this have anything to do with the comment u writing about?

    This is really exciting news! VLC adding real-time AI subtitling with offline capabilities is a game-changer for accessibility and international content consumption. While this is great for real-time viewing, for those who need to analyze, edit, or repurpose video content, having access to the actual transcript text is crucial. That's where tools like video to srt come in - they can help you extract, analyze, and work with video transcripts in ways that go beyond just real-time viewing. The combination of real-time AI subtitling (like VLC's new feature) and dedicated transcript analysis tools gives content creators and researchers the best of both worlds. You can watch with live subtitles, then use the transcript for deeper analysis, content repurposing, or creating study materials. This development really shows how AI is democratizing access to video content across language barriers. Exciting times for both viewers and content creators!
