Debating the 5090 upgrade. I really would love to be able to game in 4K.

@lain I'm skeptical that this thing is going to feel like a real workstation. 20 ARM cores doesn't bode well for single-threaded perf and creates compatibility issues, and if it's 1PFLOP in FP4 that means it's maybe a 5070 level GPU at most?

Elon why are you showing me these ads :blobcatsweats:

@caekislove @thendrix Would be interesting to see what happens to the CS market with no H1B competition, but I think it would still be rough for people trying to break in. LLMs are able to do a lot of the work that juniors used to do (generating crap code that the seniors can review and fix)

@caekislove Also funny because SpaceX undermines his own argument somewhat. They've achieved incredible tech progress thus far, and due to ITAR restrictions preventing most foreign nationals from working for them, have done so with mostly white employees.

@caekislove Lol, dude already alienated the left and is now alienating the right

@kroner @Sui Even with a full 24 hours, that is 86.4 seconds per dude. Even if she's spitroasting the entire time, that still isn't even 3 minutes. Unless there are minimum like a dozen fluffers there, most of them aren't getting off in that time allotment, which sounds like a very disappointing experience.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this verdict, considering how the deliberations on the murder charge went. Maybe those other 3 jurors changed their mind after having the weekend to think things over.

Daniel Penny not guilty!

Ok to be clear I have no idea who it was that actually shot him down at this point.

Looks like Assad's plane was shot down while it was flying over Homs.

@admin Was the "source" that fed you this bullshit the same one that had you believing with all your heart that Kiev was encircled and Ukraine had already lost in early 2022?

@georgia There's this gay guy I follow that had some words of encouragement

It's looking likely that Trump winds up with 313 electoral votes, +- 1 since we have a couple of states that aren't winner-take-all.

Not only did he win, he won by a larger margin than 2016, where he got 302. He's also ahead on the popular vote by a decent margin, currently 3.5 points, which wasn't the case in 2016, when he lost the popular vote.

Overall, solid result, about as good as could have been hoped for given the polling. And amusingly, this almost perfectly matches up with 538's projection (attached) for what would happen if Trump outperformed the polls by 4 points, which was a scenario they considered since that was roughly the case in both 2016 and 2020.

@sun @j Seems like DMs are broken too

Good Morning

@j Gleasonator has been steadily falling apart unfortunately

Flights cancelled

Some banking services down

Many websites down

Some companies just unable to function

Goddamn, imagine being the dude who wrote whatever buggy code just ground a huge chunk of the modern world to a halt

@graf We had some critical stuff go down at work, and in conversation with the IT guy, he said it was a global problem. I assumed he just meant "company-wide". Turned out nope, he meant global.

I'm assuming we've all heard the news?
