@dalias no lol, gaming GPUs don't have enough VRAM. You need like 80Gi for langle mangle crap, the gamerest of GPUs only has 32Gi.

I scored 8/28 on https://jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

@cwebber If your website isn't verifying your user's blood signature, it's not secure

If the FSF calls your program malware, is that a sign that you've made it?

@ska @dalias @lunarood I'd use DNSSEC if it didn't cause global unmitigatable outages every time I tried to use it

Wow, rare Hacker News W:

This is the true problem with AI. It's with who owns it, and what they will inevitably use it for. Whether it can do cool stuff with code or equal a junior developer is irrelevant. What it can do is less important than what it will be used for.

The owning class will use it to reduce payroll costs, which from their perspective is a cost center and always will be. If you're not an owner, then you have no control over the direction or use of AI. You are doomed to have your life disrupted and changed by it, with no input whatsoever. To quote the article, your six shillings a day can become six shillings a week, and you are left to just deal with it however you can. You are "free" to go find some other six shilling a week job. If you can.

And if you think, "Oh, every technology is like this, it's always been this way", you are right. You have always been at the whims of the owning class, and barring a change towards economic democracy, where average people regain control over their lives, it likely always will be.

@astraluma @dalias @jedbrown @hipsterelectron I mean at a past job CI was legit faster than my local laptop so I was in the habit of pushing experiments to throwaway branches to get feedback in about 5 minutes instead of 120 minutes.

@ironicbadger It's almost like annoying away the best contributors means they leave lol

@lxo @sourceware Would you be more open to this if Anubis' check logic shipped as a browser extension?

@sourceware @lxo I am looking into it! I'd love to do protein folding but I'm trying to figure out how to counteract the fact that you need to download gigabytes of data in order to start contributing.

I can't unnotice that Hooters is the american equivalent of a maid café
