You are asking for 1TB of RAM. Keying it to M.2 wouldn’t make it any cheaper or better than keying it to regular DDR5. I don’t think that even just a tenth of that would physically fit onto an NVMe drive, even if someone wanted it to.
Put in that context, do you begin to see now why that isn’t a thing that exists?
61·8 months agoThat is a big issue, but excessive power consumption isn’t intrinsic to AI. You can run a reasonably good AI on your home computer.
The AI companies don’t seem concerned about the diminishing returns, though, and will happily spend 1000% more power to gain that last 10% better intelligence. In a competitive market why wouldn’t they, when power is so cheap.
It can’t be just that, right? There are loads of successful products that any given person only ever buys once.
How on Earth did they manage to fuck this up?
They were the leading firm in a field where having the most data makes yours the most accurate tests. Their product sold for hundreds of dollars a pop, with practically zero marginal costs to run the tests. And they were really popular, selling like hotcakes.
It’s insane just how astoundingly incompetent upper management can be sometimes.
When you donate to a software project, you’re not giving money to some inanimate concept. You’re giving it to the developers, the “random people associated with it.”
Kling’s actions are harmful, and contribute to an open source environment less welcoming to ~4 billion people. I don’t want to reward that. Unless you do, you would be better off putting your support elsewhere, too.
It’s textbook misogyny.
No, it is not.
Yes, it is.
It’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re a doctor. It’s sexist when you assume someone is a woman because they’re a nurse. And it’s sexist when you assume someone is a man because they’re an OS developer.
When you continue insisting that the OS developer be a man, even though it’s been clarified to you that they just as well may not be, that’s when your behavior crosses the line to misogynistic.
It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down by insinuating they’re not welcome in your profession, and it’s not a “new convention” to fucking avoid doing that.
Annoying that you’re being downvoted, you are absolutely correct. We should not support Ladybird as long as Andreas is involved.
Follow the link. He denied a pull request for gender neutral language in documentation, calling it “personal politics.” https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814#issuecomment-830793992
In other words, Andreas insists the OS developer be referred to as “he/him” instead of not assuming gender. Not only that, he’s doubling down. It’s textbook misogyny. Fuck him.
People didn’t go to Bluesky because of an informed choice based on features or security. People went to Bluesky because that’s where everyone they want to follow went.

- Incremental games (Chillquarium, Pegidle, Synergism, etc.)

- Geotastic (with time limit turned off)
- Slay the Spire, or other deckbuilding roguelites
- Dominion
- FTL: Faster Than Light / Multiverse
- Civilization VI
- Picross/Piczle Cross and similar games
Ignoring them is easy, but there are prerequisites. To remain unaffected, you and everyone you know and love will need to NOT be:

*Note that list is not comprehensive, up to and including whoever Trump and Musk decide to disenfranchise tomorrow, in order to distract everyone from whoever they disenfranchised yesterday.
363·9 months agoOh great, another Putinbot spouting reams of misinformation.
Trying to clean up the whole mess from your firehose of bullshit is a fool’s errand, but here are a couple counterpoints for the benefit of anyone not already familiar with the relevant history:
-
The war in Ukraine was not “civil.” It was being waged by Russian troops acting as “separatists,” a disguise so thin that the only ones to buy it were on Russian state TV.
-
Every single escalation in the conflict was by Russia, ever since the hostile takeover of Crimea.
-
The military strength of Russia compared to NATO is so ridiculously lopsided that the only way Russia could possibly “win” is if they’re able to sabotage NATO from the inside, for instance by manipulating foreign elections enough to put a Russian puppet in charge.
-
I’ll leak the email address of my YouTube user account for the bargain price of just $9,999
“Putin’s puppet administration says NATO should cede everything to Putin, news at 11.”
The “big issue” with this it that it is being done entirely to appease the vain whims of an egocentric wannabe dictator, and for no other reason.
As of five years ago, 70 petabytes: https://blog.adafruit.com/2020/12/01/donate-to-the-internet-archive-digital-library-of-free-borrowable-books-movies-music-wayback-machine-internetarchive/
in 2012 it was 10 petabytes. Now, it’s probably well over 100 petabytes. I think it well beyond the scope of torrents by now.
How do you expect me, or anyone else, to provide you with the inner working details of Google’s surreptitiously closed-as-fuck custom SoCs? That’s the entire basis of the problem, it’s closed-as-fuck and there is nothing that you or I or anyone else can do to verify that it isn’t malicious.
At this point, you have to choose whether or not to trust the manufacturer. Given that the manufacturer is the most notoriously data-hungry surveillance corporation in the history of the entire world, I choose not to trust them. I wouldn’t trust them, even if they were to claim not to spy on us with these phones. (Incidentally, that is not something they claim.)
