He does go a little over the top sometimes so his videos could be considered to be a bit overdramatic with a little sprinkle of rage bait.

However, I have rarely have disagreed with his views on consumer protection. Actually… I have never disagreed with his views on consumer protection.

Him getting viewers pissed off is not what I would consider healthy, but the rage might get some people to stop showing their bellies to large companies. Regardless, his videos do walk a fine line for me personally. He should be getting income from his videos, which is fine. If he ever cracks and starts getting people pissed off expressly for the purpose of income, I’ll drop his videos really quick.

All it took was one search to find plenty of contradictions to that post title.

But FREE browsing! How revolutionary.

Who the hell writes if 'null'? If it’s a thing, what language would interpret a string like that?

There was a lot of cocaine going around in 90’s media circles for teen entertainment stuff. Crazy times.

Fuck everything about short form video and I don’t care what the subject is.

Make note of the instances you are on. Communities with the same names can be radically different across instances.

Each instance may have their own collective view on what is right or wrong, good or bad. For example, I saw that you mentioned the “T” word (or was in a discussion about it) on .ml the other day and that is a recipe for an interesting discussion. You do what the heck you want, but each community will have their own special reaction.

I stumbled into lemmygrad a couple of years ago, somehow. It didn’t take but about 5 mins for me to be labeled a fascist baby killer.

If Broadcom takes over Intel, get ready for a wild ride and don’t expect any kind of innovation ever again. If there ever was a backdoor in Intel CPUs, expect it to be opened up and used for licensing extortion. (That seems far fetched until you realize how fucking shady Broadcom is.)

While I shifted to the AMD bandwagon a while ago, I really wanted Intel’s GPUs to develop more over the next decade and split the market up a bit more. Sigh.

Holy shit! They are letting you manage things that you are supposed to own, but only really license? Amazing.

I was wondering today if singularities might actually be the purest form of “nothing” and the mass of a blackhole around that void is what is keeping that void from collapsing, kind of like a massive traffic jam. The space would have to be perfectly empty: No vacuum energy, no gravity, no fields of any kind.

Yes, this is a silly idea and just a weird thought experiment, TBH.

However, it’s much more easy to visualize than a traditional infinite singularity since it can be rationalized in a simple 3D space… It’s just a ball of nothing.

Hell, even if the void was the size of a pinhead, the entire force of the universe would be “squeezing it”, trying to move energy into a space that contained none.

Ok, that probably broke a few hundred thousand universal rules of physics, but it’s easy to speculate about something we can’t see or study.

CUDA is NVIDIA proprietary, but may be open to licensing it? I think?

We stopped watching about halfway through because of those exact reasons. The movie could have been great, but was put together badly.

My wife and I agreed on an opinion: The director seemed forced to make it a musical because Gaga. Honestly, she wasn’t half bad in the role she was playing, but the musical style turned the entire thing into a Gaga tribute which wasn’t what anybody wanted to see.

According to Baidu and most of .ml, absolutely nothing. It was a perfectly normal day of getting emulsified by tanks. There are no unhappy people in China, and they have the CCTV recordings to prove it!

Photons are the smallest unit of energy that can be transferred between a light wave and a different particle.

That is a much better description than what I have heard for the last 30 years: “A photon is a packet of energy”. That made no sense to me back then, and makes no sense to me now and, IMHO, doesn’t quite give a good visualization. It’s a placeholder, and I suppose it is slightly accurate depending on how “packet” is defined.

I know more 4 year olds that have better communication skills than some politicians. Plus, you can reward them with some ice cream every time they tell the truth.

Jokes aside, as long as a person is a legal adult and they can prove they are capable enough to hold a serious position, sure! Let them do it. Realistically, you are likely correct: The minimum age for my requirements is also likely in the 30s.

That’ll break a few brains. To elaborate with an example: From the perspective of a photon, it’s “life” is over as soon as it begins. Even though it takes about 8 mins for a photon to travel from the sun to the earth from our perspective, no time at all has passed for it.

(Correct me if I misspoke.)

Yes, but light always travels at the speed of light, regardless of its speed. It travels at c in a vacuum.

Maybe. People with more technical knowledge should understand that LLMs aren’t magic or sentient and have some severe limitations. Hell, I have been tinkering with ML and ANNs for a better part of 15 years or so and they can be extremely useful. (I am no expert and never indend to be.)

It’s the marketing wank, scams, art theft and all the bullshit that pisses me off now. In that regard, I am squarely in the “Fuck AI” category. There is absolutely nothing phenomenal that has come of this recent bubble in the commercial space. AI generated images are mostly trash, articles are riddled with gross factual errors, phishing and other scams are more realistic (and maybe even more dynamic) now and public forums contain even more annoying bots. And the worst bit is that AI generated media, like music, is just a collection of averaged values with no originality.

That bell curve represents something but it isn’t IQ.

No.
