This has to be the most obnoxious demonstration of why open source software culture is the greatest impediment to mainstream adoption of open source software that I've seen in a while.

How does 40 NVMEs fit in one PCIe bus?
Or are they connected over another interface thar is slower, then into PCIe.
Can someone knowledgeable answer this?

AI-Native you say?
Oh, I see ... you mean hype-compliant.

I don't quite agree with everything you said, but I'm willing to overlook everything because of your correct use of the word fecundity. 10/10, would reply again.

It's been a while since a comment on Slashdot made me happy. Thank you, sir.

Also, thank you for being a teacher. People say "thank you for your service" to military men when I'd rather say "fuck you for participating in the violent colonial exploitation of militarily weaker nations".

Thank you for your service.

I have kids too. I'm not going to pretend that I have all the answers. But parents have lost the ability to properly impart etiquette to their kids, in many cases because they have none themselves. So kids' behaviour in public has gotten worse. Simultaneously, adults have become spoiled brats unwilling to tolerate even the slightest discomfort, which is why you have people whining about having to listen to crying babies on flights. For fuck's sake babies are the literal future of our species.

Kids' etiquette needs to be improved.
Adults need to grow up.

I've travelled around the world, and it's only the so-called advanced Western countries that have this problem. For example, I was in Vietnam recently and kids' public behaviour was practically alien compared to kids back in Australia where I live. When kids did cry or make a ruckus, nobody even looked up. It was just understood that that is what it meant to live in a society that had kids.

Alternatively we fix that problem at both ends: we raise kids to behave well in public, and we as a society understand that putting up with kids who are in the process of learning etiquette is the price we pay for not going extinct.

Interesting that you feel that those are the only two options. Modern American society provides neither of those. In any case, the rest of the world finds it hilarious that no matter how often and how many of you dumbasses are driven to bankruptcy over mundane medical incidents, you STILL don't see the value in having a few social services provided at the government level. Don't mind me. You keep shrieking some shit about communism because I have to go. I have a doctor's appointment, because getting a regular checkup here in Australia isn't something I have to save up six months ahead for.

No, they use it because they feel that living in a fair society is a good thing. Fucking scumbags.

Also reminiscent of blockchain hype ...

Remember when a tea company added blockchain to its name and its stock soared 200%?

Later, they were investigated and charged by the SEC.

Sorry, I didn't mean to twist your panties. I was merely pointing out (pedantically, I admit) that the rules of logic are not identical to the rules of statistics. LLMs (and arguably all current generations of AI models) are inherently statistical systems. This can be pretty easily demonstrated by the fact that all current LLMs can be coaxed into saying things that are illogical. As you point out you can "approximate" logic and arrive at logical conclusions with these systems, but you are not doing so using a logic engine. You are doing so using a stochastic system.

At the philosophical level, logic exists outside of our neurons. Its rules are (as far as we accept anything in reality) independent of human existence. So just because our neurons are also subject to the imperfections of stochastic systems does not mean that ALL stochastic systems are logical.

Point of order. LLMs are not applying logic to a data set. They are applying statistical probability models to a data set. Not quite the same thing.

This is definitely a sign of the current bubble (LLMs).

And some of us do remember ...

Just like Pets.com in the dotcom era.

2. Those who don't give a damn about ethics at all and make no bones about it.
...
People who don't give a damn aren't really a problem either, since in a world populated by mostly good people, they'll ultimately be shamed and marginalized or end up in jail.

Or, they get elected president, twice ... destroy the economy, country's reputation, and start a war they can't end.

Totally agree with you ...

But it is not only libraries, there are other factors at play, me thinks ...

Developers don't have a culture of being economical with resources.
It is not taught, nor do first jobs they get care about those aspects.
For example, don't get me started on the infinity scroll which eats up RAM like crazy, rather than a pager of Next/Previous page.

There are also the layers involved, specially with web development.
It used to be HTML only, then CSS was added, then Javascript was added for certain smarts.
Then whole frameworks were invented and used for JS.

Anyway, there is no easy way out of this.
Maybe RAM shortage will compel developers to use RAM sparingly?
Nah, that is a pipe dream ... unfortunately.
