I imagine one of the most important factors is we don’t have a way to accurately scan a brain to correctly reproduce all those trillions of connections. We don’t have a blueprint to go off. Or if we do it’s probably prohibitive in scale to collect that.

I always love the responses to these videos because it’s invariably a bunch of skilled Linux people showing their entire ass trying to justify why the average user would somehow have had a magically better experience and the OP is uniquely bad at computers. Get fucking real. Sit down, shut up, and take notes. It’s never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if you ignore the issues encountered by new Linux users.

They are trained to yap because it gives them a higher likelihood of giving the correct answer. If they don’t go on and on in user presented text, it at least does it in hidden text.

Scaling up fabs to increase supply is a very long-term process. You don’t want to do it if you think the demand won’t last at least several years. Maybe RAM manufacturers are drinking the koolaid and are spinning up fabs as fast as possible. Maybe they see the writing on the wall and are just cashing in until the demand dissolves.

How??

I had this one Singaporean guy visit me and say basically the same thing, and then he said there was this dish i had to try. And it just tasted like Umami The Dish™ to me.

Turns out, people typically enjoy the cuisine they grew up with and that’s not wrong. To imply that it is makes you annoying.

I upgraded to notepad++ I’ll have you know!

Wish there was into on how to pirate adobe for Linux. Even into for Windows is hard to find (for obvious reasons) when you’re someone like me who doesn’t know where to look.

This is not an invitation to tell me how and get banned lol

Oh god. My local branch of the Communist party of Canada is like that and it’s so full of relationship drama

In retrospect it’s pretty obvious that the most efficient way to traverse a grid would include no diagonals. Every time you move on an axis you move to a cell in 1 unit distance of travel. Why would you ever choose to move to a cell in √2 unit distances when you could move 1 unit distance to achieve the same result of covering one more cell?

Economic collapse doesn’t matter if you:

1. Own the means of production to sustain your way of life

2. Have fully automated it

3. Can protect it using automated security

Which is what billionaires are going for. They do not care if economic collapse leads to billions of deaths, as long as they live in an automated utopia themselves.

It is about the prospect of profit. If you can make a machine that puts everyone out of a job, the profit is literally infinite. The same or better productivity output with zero labour cost input. You would have to be out of your mind not to invest in the infinite money machine.

Unfortunately (fortunately?), the infinity money machine is not possible with LLMs. These bullshit generators are a dead end in AI tech. But nobody with investor money believes that yet.

Most of the water use for corn isn’t necessary either, because nearly half the corn we grow gets burned in engines in the form of corn ethanol mixed into gasoline.

I’ll say that again because it is an unfathomable stat. Nearly half the corn the US grows gets burned to make cars go. That represents 40x the water use of AI if OP is to be believed about the 1/80th stat.

Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the more socialister it is. And when the government goes a whole lot of stuff, that’s communism.

I work 8 hours and then I come home and cook dinner, what the hell is there to talk about? I don’t like talking about work because I try to forget it exists, and I don’t have time to do anything else.

And Sippy is joking that felsiq should try boot licking instead

Wait no that would put it on the empty track!!

Americans explaining something that comes in phases: imagine Taylor Swift

I mean, the last one is true if you’re coming from the standpoint of the rider.

How will they maintain their office real estate portfolio if the demand for offices drops precipitously?
