none of that show made any sense. There was a whole blog where a doctor reviewed every episode way back in the day. He'd talk about which episodes were plausible or bullshit:

eh .. it's not that good a comparison. The models have actually gotten better, which has surprised me .. at coding. They'll still tell you to put rocks in soup and have teenagers kill themselves.
and it's not the models so much as the models + harness so they have tooling to correct all the mistakes they still make.
But I think the use cases are limited to things like coding, drawing models in 3d printers, images, etc. .. and the free models or the Vector Search Google throws up on search results claiming its AI are all really garbage.
But it's a pretty complex mixed bag right now. -

he still has his beard.
Was the full Rekieta bodycam ever leaked? I've only seen the leaked 10 seconds where his living room was entirely covered in food rappers and dirty laundry.
In 15 years I wonder if we'll see his daughter's book "Confessions of a coked up 9 year old" -

Most modern concrete can do this too. It's not the same process, but our concrete still gains strength as its exposed to moisture. Underwater concrete is some of the strongest. -

5090 pre-built machines now cost several thousand less than an actual RTX 5090. They've jumped to $8k~$10 (former RTX 6000 pricing), while a full machine with ram and storage is $6k~$7k.
RTX 6000s have doubled to nearly $20k.
Same thing happened with the 4090, so I wonder if nvidia is cutting production for a 60xx launch. -

I don't think most gamers are going after 5090s. You can't even run the big LLMs on them. I think it's mostly people who want non-clouds image/video generation. Most of the good diffusion and video models will fit in 32GB. I have an AMD R9700 (32GB), but a WAN2.2 video can take anywhere from 20 min to 2 hours for 10 seconds on it. I'm curious how long it would take on an nvidia card. -

I have one Win10 box left with a 3080-Ti in it. I'm seriously considering slapping some AMD card in it and trying SteamOS, and moving the nvidia to another box for ComfyUI. I'm sick of AMD's shit Linux drivers that crash the display all the time when running image/vid generation workloads.
There are old Mac Xeons from 2019 used with a ton-o-ram (DDR4) and Gentoo has an overlay for the T2 kernels needed for those machines. I could put both the AMD and nvidia card in there and run two ComfyUI containers (one ROCm, one CUDA) to try and get a rendering station going. -

wow that's like .. a perfect loop ... and yea p is on and off on the bugoutszone. He didn't leave us forever like Alex. I don't interact as much as I should because usually when I see him it's in a hell thread -

ohh Alpha? Does it still run VMS or you got Linux on that beast? -

oh I was under the impression VAX machines ran Alpha chips (probably because our university's main system when I was in school was an "Alpha VAX"). but now looking it up I see the VAX was a predecessor to the Alpha. Still pretty neat, and also neat you've got an IA64 too! -

Yea, anything that's high compression (more than 9:1 typically). A lot of sports cars will say "premium fuel only." Usually they're turbocharged, but even some high end non-turbo engines should use it (like a Honda S2000).
I have to put the max in my WRX because it's turbo charged, but I put regular in my Tacoma.
The rare 101+ stuff is really only needed if you mod your turbocharged or supercharged car to run even higher compression (a.k.a the "gameboy of death" for the Subarus).
The octane rating indicates that it can hit a higher temperature/pressure before igniting. For performance cars, pre-ignition (gas igniting before the spark plug fires) can cause stress on the pistons/crank and destroy them over time (often called Engine Knock or Engine Ping). Modern cars have some leeway since they use direct fire ignition, so the ECU can retard the timing so long as the knock sensor is working and picks up the pre-ignition. -

their instance name has "ontological" in it, so that's a safe bet.
AI psychosis is pretty real. -

No ... planned obsolescence requires it works for a few years; enough so you love it and want to buy another one. German cars are all about people being oddly loyal to a brand even though the car breaks repeatedly after six months. The incompetence isn't "planned" -

I had an Audi's engine blow years ago in Nevada:

Switched back to a WRX and will never buy German garbage again. German engineering is shit. Every VW, BMW and Audi I have ever driven has had something janky going on with it. They all have long term design issues none of them ever fix! -

Yes, glove box hinges that always break after a year (for multiple models over multiple decades; so bad there are dozens of replacement kits on eBay), trunk releases that require 3~4 button pushes to open (also over multiple decades on multiple models of VWs), transmissions that can't be services without specialty tools (why would you need to replace transmission oil? It will last the life of the engine, so we'll just seal it permanently).
How German engineers made a functioning high speed rail system, I have no fucking clue.
