  • That thing literally saved Windows, as most users would otherwise have had to install shitty freeware like Avast or pay for premium antivirus solutions, basically paying to try to close loopholes that Microsoft made in the first place.

  • You can check many of the Sam dick riding contests in the comments in any Sam Altman related thread and how most are advancing the classic "she's just a gold digger who suddenly remembers he raped her only after he got rich" or "she looks unhinged, story likely made up" theses that are usually used to protect rapists and discredit rape victims, while trying to bury the rape story with massive downvotes every single time.

  • itโ€™s been really strange seeing so many comments cheering for Sam Altman

    It's the same with Elon's cult. People probably really believe that Sam is a genius and the one who made ChatGPT (just like Elon's fanboys really believe that he's involved with Tesla's engineering), so they see him, alongside Elon, as a symbol of meritocracy and they get angry at the board for ousting someone just because they're "afraid" of a "genius".

  • She still deserves all of our attention and her voice needs to be heard. She struggles for survival and probably can't even afford good lawyers to sue him.

    Heโ€™s also quite openly gayโ€ฆ So him raping his little sister doesnโ€™t make a whole lot of sense

    Sexual orientation or even desire are quite irrelevant, as that would apply to pedophiles too otherwise.

    She also mentions in her interview with Weil how she has gotten angry at her brother over money on more than one occasion

    How could she not be with how she was, according to her, pushed into sex work? Having one of your siblings resort to sex work for survival while your own net worth is more than half a billion dollars definitely means you're the bad guy no matter whose version is correct and no matter how you look at it.

  • I think it's realistic to assume that Google is going to impose quotas on those "free" AI features that are running on the cloud right now and have people pay for more quota. It makes no economic sense for Google to keep offering those compute services for free. Remember Google Colab? Started completely free with V100 and A100 GPUs, now you have to pay to just keep using a simple T4 GPU without interruption.

  • I think the problem is the conflicting goals that Google has with that chip. They want the chip to be able to run AI stuff locally with the Edge TPU ASIC that it includes, but at the same time Google also wants to make money by having Pixel devices offload AI tasks to the cloud. Google can't reconcile these two goals.

  • those puts will soon pay brother ๐Ÿซ‚

  • The web version I find it cool from a technological perspective and while I agree with you on the slowness of Javascript apps vs native apps in general, WebAssembly is a completely different beast and you can have very good performance with it while benefiting from all the portability advantages, it's basically what Java tried to become with applets back then. It's cool because you can also have stuff like a whole Jupyter Notebook run locally in your browser without installing anything, which can be useful when you have to teach Python and you don't want to deal with students not installing their stuff before the class begins: https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite .

    FYI, the OpenLara GitHub repo I linked to also has native builds. In particular, it hilariously has a Gameboy Advance build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVSLcqGP7g

  • Have developers be more mindful of the e-waste they're contributing to by indirectly deprecating CPUs when they skip over portions of their code and say "nah it isn't worth it to optimize that thing + everyone today should have a X cores CPU/Y GB of RAM anyway". Complacency like that is what leads software that is as simple in functionality as equivalent software was one or two decades ago to be 10 times more demanding today.

  • There's also the possibility of just using an RSS reader with sports RSS feeds.

  • Half-Life 2 is also at $1 right now, their deal ends in 2 days

    EDIT: just tried it on my Thinkpad T480 running Arch Linux and it runs flawlessly at max settings, it's freaking beautiful

  • If this is true then he's a disgusting POS and fully deserves what happens to him, sending his own sister to prostitution for survival instead of letting her get the money that her late dad left for her is fucking evil. The POS eventually agreed to help her after she came out publicly, but only for a fucking year. His net worth is more than half a billion dollars for fuck's sake.

    From her Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/p/CtIzt-uudhr/ ):

  • What's worse is that their "8GB = 16GB" claim has a tiny bit of truth in it: many apps that are GPU-accelerated usually load/generate stuff on host RAM and then transfer it to the GPU RAM to launch some shaders/kernels on it and they do this repeatedly. The idea with Apple (also AMD when you consider APUs) is that since the RAM is "unified" you just have one RAM and you probably don't have that redundancy anymore if those apps are built with that in mind, so in a sense if previously you had a 1GB buffer that had to live on both CPU and GPU RAM, this time it will only live in as a single 1GB buffer on Apple's "unified" RAM. That's still very different from the "8GB = 16GB" deceptive marketing by Apple.
