Get it in the schools. It’s a bad habit from many people’s childhood that they need to break. Make that original habit not suck.

You want to see a picture of me when I was younger?

That is a great idea. I’m in.

I’m not sure what metric you’re using to determine this. The bottom line is, if you’re trying to get the CPU to really fly, using memory efficiently is just as important (if not more) than the actual instructions you send to it. The reason for this is the high latency required to go out to external memory. This is performance 101.

Just wanted to point out that the number 1 performance blocker in the CPU is memory. In the general case, if you’re wasting memory, you’re wasting CPU. These two things really cannot be talked about in isolation.

Guy from '95: “I bet it’s lightning fast though…”

No dude. It peaks pretty soon. In my time, Microsoft is touting a chat program that starts in under 10 seconds. And they’re genuinely proud of it.

Then, they look confused when I tell them I don’t want the thing connected to the Internet.

100% this. The base algorithms used in LLMs have been around for at least 15 years. What we have now is only slightly different than it was then. The latest advancement was training a model on stupid amounts of scraped data off the Internet. And it took all that data to make something that gave you half decent results. There isn’t much juice left to squeeze here, but so many people are assuming exponential growth and “just wait until the AI trains other AI.”

It’s really like 10% new tech and 90% hype/marketing. The worst is that it’s got so many people fooled you hear many of these dumb takes from respectable journalists interviewing “tech” journalists. It’s just perpetuating the hype. Now your boss/manager is buying in =]

yes

I can’t believe I’m actually upvoting that statement… coming from a former windows nerd (until 7).

Preach brother!

In before a Microsoft apologist drops in to tell us how much they are sick of Lemmy nerds suggesting Linux. Then, proceeds to cry about the terminal and provide reasons that could be a textbook definition of Stockholm Syndrome. Point them to this comment when they get here, please.

Countdown until Google shittymorphs me looking for cooking recipes.

…Always had been

I think I have a favorite supreme court justice.

What a message to send to state legislators and mapmakers about racial gerrymandering. For reasons I’ve addressed, those actors will often have an incentive to use race as a proxy to achieve partisan ends. See supra, at 20–22. And occasionally they might want to straight-up suppress the electoral influence of minority voters. See Cooper, 581 U. S., at 319, n. 15. Go right ahead, this Court says to States today. Go ahead, though you have no recognized justification for using race, such as to comply with statutes ensuring equal voting rights. Go ahead, though you are (at best) using race as a short-cut to bring about partisan gains—to elect more Republicans in one case, more Democrats in another. It will be easy enough to cover your tracks in the end: Just raise a “possibility” of non-race-based decision-making, and it will be “dispositive.” Ante, at 16. And so this “odious” practice of sorting citizens, built on racial generalizations and exploiting racial divisions, will continue. Shaw, 509 U. S., at 643. In the electoral sphere especially, where “ugly patterns of pervasive racial discrimination” have so long governed, we should demand better—of ourselves, of our political representatives, and most of all of this Court. Id., at 639. Respectfully, I dissent.

I would encourage everyone to read her whole dissent.

That’s what pisses me off about Colorado kicking him off the ballot. No shit it got overturned. Ballots and whatnot were probably already printed (not from CO btw). It’s not that they don’t have a case… they most certainly do. They had 3 years, and they wait until a couple months before the primary? At that point, it is interference.

Found the SQL developer!

Some poor excuse for journalism is better than anything fox news ever has to say. The time where they had any credibility at all has long since passed. At least those Twitter posts are real…

Easy. They need Jesus.

That’s not a debate. Why even have them together? These piss poor excuses for a “debate” are already: take your questions, give your talking points and go home. Let them press each other on shit, not water it down even more.
