I’ve tried the a number of the ones being mentioned, but the best for me has been Audio bookshelf . It has a good mobile app, allows collections, tries to pull Metadata, offline reading for the apps, etc.

World News@lemmy.world•Saudi Arabia urging US to keep up Iran attacks, intelligence source confirmsEnglish
2·3 days agoYou can make an argument everything is economics, but I don’t think Trump got into this war for economic reasons (other actors may have, but not Trump)

World News@lemmy.world•Saudi Arabia urging US to keep up Iran attacks, intelligence source confirmsEnglish
3·3 days agoA lot of wars are over resources. The Gulf War and Iraq War were fairly recent wars that were also specifically over oil on the middle east.

World News@lemmy.world•Iran denies allegations it targeted Diego Garcia base with missiles, calls claim ‘Israeli false flag’English
8·6 days agoI wouldn’t say theyve been accurate, they’ve just been more strategic with their statements than Israel and America. They’re playing up their messaging to the world as that’s one of the ways they can get the upper hand in the war.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft once tried to cut Windows 11 RAM usage, install size by 20%, now it’s trying again in 2026English
1·7 days agoHonestly, I don’t even think hardware has progressed enough to warrant a new generation. It doesn’t feel like much even uses the current consoles to the full extent.

11·7 days agoRight now I have a console to play those games, but don’t know what I’ll do when the next “generation” comes out.

Hardware@lemmy.world•HP releases new EliteBoard G1a keyboard with built-in battery and AMD Ryzen APUsEnglish
3·10 days agoI think it’s a portability thing, there are screens everywhere (most tvs can be used as screens if needed). This way your computer is also your input meaning you can plug it in anywhere and be good to go.
The Windows 12 rumors were due to bad reporting from PC World that it seems AI news articles ran with (I believe an Ai mistranslation was the original issue, but at the very least a translation issue). They added an editor’s note to the original [article] (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3068331/windows-12-rumors-features-pricing-everything-we-know-so-far.html)
But chrome, edge, and safari aren’t open source to my knowledge and they make up almost the entire market. Sure chromium is open source, but that’s not the entire browser. Not to mention, it’s basically Internet Explorer all over again, but with Google behind the reigns.
Looking at android, we get a glimpse of what Google is willing to do to “open source” to keep control.

Android@lemdro.id•What's the Point of an Android Desktop Mode? — ShaneCraig.TechEnglish
2·16 days agoIn the mobile space I think that Qualcomm actually has the lead, the elite 8 is pretty powerful. Desktop wise apple leads, but I think Qualcomm isn’t too far off, I think the biggest issue is software support.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Much Do LLMs Hallucinate in Document Q&A Scenarios? A 172-Billion-Token Study Across Temperatures, Context Lengths, and Hardware Platforms [TLDR: 25%]English
2·18 days agoThanks for providing the actual numbers.
I think one of the more concerning things is, what if you think the answer is in the documents you provided but they actually aren’t. What you think is a low error rate could actually be a high error rate.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Much Do LLMs Hallucinate in Document Q&A Scenarios? A 172-Billion-Token Study Across Temperatures, Context Lengths, and Hardware Platforms [TLDR: 25%]English
16·18 days agoJust for context, this is the error rate when the right answer is provided to the LLM in a document. This means that even when the answer is being handed to the LLM they fail at the rates provided in the article/paper.
Most people interacting with LLMs aren’t asking questions against documents, or the answer can not be directly inferred from the documents (asking the LLM to think about the materials in the documents).
That means in most situations the error rate for the average user will be significantly higher.

World News@lemmy.world•Why China can withstand oil's surge past $100 more easily than other countriesEnglish
9·21 days agoI always forget when looking at energy production, the US is at 40% renewable+nuclear (21% just renewable) which is actually around the same for China ~40% renewable+nuclear (35% just renewable).

World News@lemmy.world•Phoenix-based company's LUCAS drone changes war in IranEnglish
7·22 days agoIf it’s like the sahed drone then it costs about $30k, has the range of a “medium-range” ballistic missile (which cost millions of dollars), but moves at ~115mph vs supersonic. They also have more limited payload.
So the general principle is that you can produce them quick enough that you can deploy enough to overwhelm your enemies defenses. They also use satellite and interial navigation so can be fairly accurate.

World News@lemmy.world•Saudi journalist says 'not all attacks' on Gulf coming from Iran, fears US-Israel dragging monarchies into warEnglish
9·25 days agoWasn’t there a report the other day implying that the sauds wanted the US to attack too?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/02/28/trump-iran-decision-saudi-arabia-israel/
It feels more likely that two regional powers see an opportunity to remove another regional power.

Technology@lemmy.world•Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.English
1·29 days agoDisabling/destroying a satellite has only been shown to be feasible by a handful of militaries in the world in very controlled situations.
Unless you mean you disable it via commands to the satellite, but that assumes there is a way to disable it and that you know who can disable it and can force them to do so.

Technology@lemmy.world•Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.English
2·29 days agoYeah, that was my point. Like all technology it has potential to liberate communications, but also enable bad actors. However, to me, it’s the biggest reason why this technology would matter at all.

Technology@lemmy.world•Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.English
7·29 days agoI feel like on part no one ever mentions on things like this are, how do you enforce any jurisdiction on a satellite and what it’s doing.
The main crazy thing about a satellite data enter is you can’t confiscate it and therefore you can’t control it. Hell once it’s up there the only thing any government might be able to do is find the owner and force them to crash it (if possible).
It in a sense sounds a bit like the wild west of the original internet. Admittedly Musk being at the forefront of it all sounds terrible, but I think there is something fascinating about an information hub that could be completely independent of any country.

World News@lemmy.world•Bill Clinton Became the First U.S. President to Testify Before Congress Under Oath. He Stated He Knew Nothing of Epstein's Crimes and Had Done Nothing Unlawful HimselfEnglish
21·30 days ago??
It either means he legitimately didn’t know anything or that he doesn’t think there is any evidence to support he did know/did anything. I’m pretty sure if they had anything concrete on him, the Trump admin would have gone after him, simply to divert away from everything theyre doing.


Biggest issue is the folder/book structure is very opinionated and isn’t the easiest to work with.
