Sam Altman going on about building a half a trillion dollar datacenter for AI training aged like milk, apparently.

Neon lighting is pretty and glitzy, no doubt.

But at like five time less power per the same lightning, LEDs beat neon in cost.

Specially so for applications that are meant to remain turned on all night. There the electricity bills quickly add up.

Nope. It's just wrong they are invading keyboard shortcuts with their Tay 2 thingie.

I think they should make all screen popups every hour of intensive use of other programs, specially during full screen games, so you don't forget to use it.

That would fix the user's opinion for good.

Bad guys and pirates are roaming the seas and doing misdeeds again.

Any country wanting to keep their way of life should be investing more in patrolling the seas and their particular interests.

Get Tom Holland out of the hibernation pod and call Disney!

I guess it's nothing another string of Marvel/Spidey crapstatic movies wouldn't fix.

I'm serious. All big AI cluster investment ought to have a nuclear plant in it, ensuring it gets properly juiced.

And once they're there, lobby to grow nuclear everywhere, so we stop the trend of fake de-carbonization through repentance and self-impoverishment.

Seriously?

F*ck-off you morons.

What's next? water troughs and hitchracks for the future robotic horses?

If everything is a puppet show with pretend-people talking to other pretend people via Zoom or whatever, it would be much better and efficient to have a bunch of bots talking in text all inside some OAI or Gemini chat room.

And that's what will happen, actually. Removing the excess weight of old traditions wanting to project themselves into a future where they won't be needed.

All these geological-deep layers of cruft were made precisely to remove the visibility of what's going on with the system.

You just define a magical virtual machine that just works and that cleans up your mess after you're done, then you can forget about how to read a character, print it on screen or saving it to a bunch of sectors on a complex rotating magnetic thingie.

We've just taken this approach up to its logical conclusions: all levels of software can be made like Russian dolls, if you have the spare CPU cycles, memory and you are willing to dumb things down enough. Which are true all for modern computing: we have spare CPU cycles and memory, and we want to dumb things down a lot for anyone to become a programmer

This is not new though. Operating systems have been doing this since day 0, given the huge improvements in productivity gained from just assuming there is some layer of arcane magic making everything work together.

But now we look back and realize "oh no, the kids no longer know how things work!". Well, SE made its own bed, now sleep in it.

To eat your lunch and your market.

Go ahead. Alienate your customers more, and x.com will be happy to provide the free streaming platform the world craves.

Do sudden reboots until the troublesome .sys file corrupts into unreadability?

Because the problem is a damn untested driver with kernel privileges.

I guess they should treat it as a high risk software and test it before release next time.

If there's any next time, given they will be buried with lawsuits before this is over.

Of how kids back in the day treated teachers. Give them nicknames, doing offensive jokes about them and laughing behind their backs.

The only difference is that they know now, by watching the evidence splattered in tiktok.

Which I think is actually bad and should be be banned for kids usage.

Funny. We passed from "please only burn the old documentation after so many years in cold storage" to "keep every damn email, IM and message ever sent available right now!"

LOL, did he?

For the stated experience and the novelty factor quickly wears off.

I get it's better than the cheaper Meta headsets, but if the previous experiences of the HTC Vive and Quest are anything like it, the wow factor ends soon and then you start feeling the weight of the headset, the dizziness, the discomfort, the eye strain and the price tag.

And people talk. They comment it, review it online and share their overall experiences.
