Why "someone" should spend time and effort on this? If you believe it's really important, do it yourself or hire and pay someone to do it, then market the product. Or are you suggesting someone should spend their own without compensation so you can simply use the result of their effort for free, hunh? Is that the reason, you fidelcastroated madurosturbator commie tick?

Nerds aren't being bullied. In fact, nerds are some of the worst bullies ever: they usually pick on smaller kids - often preying on primary school age children - because against any larger opponent they would be torn to pieces. No wonder nerds grow up to be child molesters. What we do to bullies is called a social hygiene operation: we exclude them from society and beat them up in order to enforce their emargination. We don't want those sickos among us. So, we're not bullying them, we're pushing them to the side and away from the Beautiful People.

Or that it's simply as dumb as a brick and would be better off being used as one. Kids are like all other people: some are more or less functioning, a few are intelligent, a very rare few are brilliant, the rest are bricks of dried shit. This is a reality of life, but parents can't accept that their precious little snowflake could be any less than this century's great genius. Once upon a time they would insist it was "misunderstood" or "simply too far ahead" or an "indigo child". Now they're all assburgers.

I wish teachers (those who are worth their salt, and those are in diminishing numbers) would grow a pair and tell the chopparents: "See, your kid is so useless it ought to be recycled as pet food. It's not brilliant, it's not a genius, it's a shit windowlicker. Or rather it would be if it could tell a window from anything else. That's how stupid your shit kid is. Did you try to abort it by any chance?"

Yes, that's the sorry situation. Chopparents who can't accept their subpar progeny is two IQ points too low to be yoghurt so they try to pass them off as smart windowlickers. Guess what: windowlickers aren't smart, or they wouldn't be windowlickers.

Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

Kids have never been interested in that. The hobbyist computer scene died before 1995, the era lasted from about 1975 (the Altair) to the early 1990s (Amiga, Atari ST). Raspies should have been used in robotics (too fragile) or any project that required a working multipurpose computer. So far, the only thing they have been good for has been for emulators, and even that as a curiosity. For field data-gathering they're worthless, even in the best enclosures they can't stand outdoors temperatures and humidity. You can make a NAS out of a raspie, an USB powered port multiplier and some HDDs or SSDs, but why bother? It's totally unreliable and slow.

They're toys, and expensive as that. You don't learn anything from them. You can't use them for anything even remotely serious.

Of course two billionaires competing against each other is better than one. What does one billionaire competing against himself look like? "Whoo-ha! I beat myself! Wheee! I'm so much fucking better than myself! That me sucks! Yeah!"

Seriously, loserboy, are you that fucking stupid or did you have to work on it? Why are you projecting your own inadequacies onto everybody? We all know you were playing against yourself in the chess club and still managed to lose each and every fucking time, but the rest of humanity is now a lowlife jerkoffer like you.

Working off computah weirdos to their deaths appeals to me. Nobody likes them geeks. The ladies despise them because they're ugly, repellent, smelly molesters who should be thrown onto a dumpster fire, and the fellow men hate them because they're repulsive zit-faced loud imbeciles who yak endlessly about crap nobody is interested in.

I have spent some years downsizing and rationalizing expenses in firms all over Europe and each and every time the IT shit nerds were escorted out of the building by security, everybody cheered. Everybody. That's how much computah weirdos are despised. Not just disliked: despised. You're not even hated, you're shit accidentally stepped upon, cockroaches in the kitchen.

So 996 is a good idea. Work you hard until you die, so that the cleaning crew can toss your stinking carcasses onto the garbage heap where you belong. Nobody will miss you, not even your own families who disowned you after all that CP was found on your hard drives.

They're simply cheap and good quality and they interface with devices like the Pocket 3, which is an outstanding piece of hardware if you're into indie moviemaking, vlogging and the like. I personally use the Röde mikes but to each their own.

Oh by the way nerds... Kill yourselves. Seriously. Nobody likes you. You're better off dead and the world is better off without you.

Apollo 8 actually entered lunar orbit. A lunar flyby had been considered by the Soviets but they couldn't do it. As a shakedown of the spacecraft's systems this achieves nothing, they already had an unmanned flight. If they had a working lunar module they could at least to a proper full rehearsal like Apollo 10, but NASA lacks courage now.

Apollo 8 was the mission where the lander wasn't ready. Apollo 10's LM was functional, just they didn't have enough fuel to land and lacked the approach/landing software in the PGNS. They were to test the LM's behaviour and its abort capabilities. That was a lot, it was important, it achieved results. A flyby at this point in spaceflight history does nothing engineering-wise. They just have to do something and it is not much. As an astronaut, I would feel insulted.

This page claims over 400,000 recordings but links to a listing of only 187,034 audio files. I'm guessing the discrepancy is the girth of the suit: IA agreed to take down the files that the plaintiffs could prove were theirs and no money changed hands.

Let's compare, shall we?

Little Bobby Tables:

  • No framework required: conventional database entry + payload only
  • Wreaks havoc in an instant
  • Total size: 32 bytes

This:

  • Downloads ollama (672 MB, on Windows)
  • Downloads a 14 GB data file for the model itself
  • Requires a bare minimum of 16 GB of VRAM—and still runs like absolute molasses, eating up all resources
  • Total size: 15 GB

Personally, I'm on Team Tables here. Maybe in a decade or three this will be practical.
