We’re hitting logarithmic scaling with the model trainings. GPT-5 is going to cost 10x more than GPT-4 to train, but are people going to pay $200 / month for the gpt-5 subscription?

it’s all just curling some jsons and slapping some paint and shit on top of that.

Doing lines in the bathroom is also more fun at the office with your fellow salesmen compared to alone in your home.

my password is just 20 gigabytes of poop emojis.

even a 5600 would be a massive leap for about $100. Add something like a used 6600XT or a 3060 and you’ll be back at current gen gaming at around $300€ total.

if you pay for a thing it’s pretty hard to avoid giving a cut to amazon these days.

It can definitely be surprising to realize how much AI contributes to today’s content, but it’s become a powerful tool in many industries. From writing articles and generating art to customer service and personalized recommendations, AI helps create and enhance a lot of what we interact with daily. It’s not just about replacing human effort but often about assisting and enhancing creativity and productivity. The growth of AI is a reflection of how technology is evolving to meet the demands of our fast-paced world.

Linux is second nature to us IT people, so it’s easy to forget that the average person probably only knows basic shell scripting and how to build programs from git repos.

You don’t have to compile your own kernels you know that right?

cat pipeing is safer though.

foobar > file and your file is gone.

I admit that I work faster with AI help and if people get more stuff done in less time there might be less billable hours in the future for us. But AI did not replace me, a 10 times cheaper dude from India did.

Apart from spinning things maybe not spinning, why would it not work?

WSL2 and windows terminal are ok. I switched to Linux in my previous job back when WSL1 or VMs were the the available choices for doing Linux stuff, but later when people asked if I’d recommend using Linux for their work computer there I’d just say no. IME Linux and Windows were pretty 50/50 on how often things broke down, e.g. updates breaking the shitty fucking VPN app, but with windows you had IT solving that shit for you, with Linux you had to rely on yourself and other Linux desktop users in the company.

I had the intention of reinstalling my windows because it was like from back when win10 was new and the winsxs folder was so big that a 100GB partition was not enough for just windows with all the 3rd party programs installed on another partition… but I noticed that all my games run on Linux so I ended up wiping the 100GB nvme windows partition and moving my dual boot Linux there. I’ve been without windows for a couple of months now and I haven’t really missed it.

It’s still Daggerfall under the hood right?

but how can the chips reach the advertised performance while being undervolted? especially damaged chips.

And they’re still somehow generating twice the revenue with Xeons vs. what AMD does with EPYCs. Who keeps buying all these Xeons!?
