Mind your cardboard.

The danger is real.

Now I’ve got a young Sally Struthers in my head pimpin’ out ThighMaster.

Odd times.

Are you sure you didn’t set low-detail with the viewport cranked way down? I played it on the same model with a math co-processor and it could not handle high-detail and the large viewport in the video.

Edit: I’m fairly certain I had a math co-processor, but I’ll defer to you on this detail just in case. That would certainly make a sizeable difference.

40MHz is plenty for doom.

Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:

Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC

486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:

Doom Timedemo - 486DX2/66MHz

Edit: grammar

Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.

Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.

The Hill buried the lede for agitprop.

“The president was irate, saying that I could not keep doing this to him,” Fauci wrote, according to the Times.

“He said he loved me, but the country was in trouble, and I was making it worse. He added that the stock market went up only 600 points in response to the positive Phase 1 vaccine news, and it should have gone up 1,000 points, and so I cost the country ‘one trillion dollars,’” Fauci reportedly said.

To be fair, “Trump Took COVID Response Personally” doesn’t do much either.

Edit: grammar

This is the reality I came to. The establishment would have pulled out all the stops, guaranteed. If Bernie couldn’t take North Carolina, he certainly could not take Congress. Facts.

Don’t confuse intelligence with greed.

Trump is bad news for stability.

If the rule applied to outcomes, people would simply write headlines that negate any they so choose.

I am concerned about the energy abuse of LLMs, but it gets worse. AGI is right around the corner, and I fear that law of diminishing return may not apply due to advantages it will bring. We’re in need of new, sustainable energy like nuclear now because it will not stop.

Would you kindly find a source for that?

I can personally speak from the 80s, so that’s not exactly a golden age of reliable information. There was concern about scale of infinite growth and power requirements in a perpetual 24/7 full-load timeshare by people that were almost certainly not qualified to talk about the subject.

I was never concerned enough to look into it, but I sure remember the FUD: “They are going to grow to the size of countries!” - “They are going to drink our oceans dry!” … Like I said, unqualified people.

Another factor is that there aren’t that many supercomputers in the world, a handful of thousand of them.

They never took off like the concerned feared. We don’t even concern ourselves with their existence.

Edit: grammar

While I absolutely agree with everything you’ve stated, I’m not taking a moral position here. I’m just positing that the same arguments of concern have been on the table since the establishment of massive computational power regardless of how, or by whom, it was to be utilized.

Supercomputers were feared to be untenable resource consumers then, too.

Utilizing nuclear to feed AI may be the responsible and sustainable option, but there’s a lot of FUD surrounding all of these things.

One thing is certain: Humans (and now AI) will continue to advance technology, regardless of consequence.

The forefront of technology overutilizes resources?

Always has been.

Edit: Supercomputers have existed for 60 years.

The Pest is the shit. True story.

And where will it get the cash? An analogue of OnlyFans.

Watch, it’ll happen.

Edit: grammar

Biden will win the popular vote by a record-breaking amount, 100%; there is no question about that. However, the United States does not elect a president in accordance with the popular vote.

Biden can lose the electoral college at the fringe, which is literally every other metric. If you care about the presidency, care about the fringe; and do everything possible to shore it up.

Yes. Play it.

It’s from digging his nails in with a clenched fist.

Looks like he had to reposition a few times, given the numerous ruts.
