…because Grok is being used to push certain “alternative facts” to those who are susceptible.

All UK plugs are 13A.

10A. That’s fine.

A game 90% of people can’t play.

Should have left the main narrative alone.

We’ve been needing something since Duke Nukem finally shipped.

It’s still bad.

My old commute was a 25-30 minute drive. For a while though, I had to do it by public transport.

I’d be walking for less than 10 minutes because both my house and my work were close to the train station. The rest of it was on 4 different trains, but all within one metropolitan area. The changes were no more than 5 minutes each, pretty good really. However, the number of stops and the number of changes killed any progress. The end result was that it took 1h45m to 2h.

Changing a 8hr + 2x30m day into an 8hr + 2x2h day is a significant change in lifestyle. Losing 3hr day means you don’t enjoy your evenings, you don’t socialise, and life is only work. It’s miserable.

On a different job I worked at I could get there with just 1 train. That was about 35 minute drive or 55 minutes by train once you included the walk (again about 10-15 minutes total). Even with that you’re asking yourself “Why am I not driving?”.

yikes

Pretty sure Musk has had a significant shift. Not saying he started out as a nice normal guy, but something cracked for sure.

Half life: Alyx required VR.

Half life 3 requires neural integration.

At least some of the people developing this stuff think they’re going to be able to partner AI and neural links. I think the desire is they think about the solution to a problem and then they don’t have to do the work of creating it. It will just exist magically because the AI will do it.

It’s egotistical bollocks that comes from believing your ideas are always right, and that a back of the napkin idea is the same as a fully engineered solution.

How can they sell your details if you don’t register for an account?

I’d personally much rather sync was done with no account. More like synching where clients connect directly to each other with a QR code (or cut&paste code)

The cybertruck is on a different scale of unpopularity.

Nobody threw Molotov cocktails at Delorians. (Edit: or even DeLoreans)

All the EDA tools for silicon design are Linux based.

My company is transitioning to teams. Most of our engineering is on Linux.

Can Microsoft please hurry up and break teams so we can’t transition?

“Bettors lose”… Bookies win.

Is this news?

If you’re only doing university for a piece of paper, you done gone screwed up.

University is to learn how academia works so that you can continue your development independently afterwards. You become capable of researching topics, reading the papers and solving a problem you’ve never faced before.

Nobody ever tells you this, but your first degree is more about developing you than developing your knowledge. If you just askGPT the whole time you’re cheating yourself.

I think with a lot of these chips geared at AI there’s so much variation in how performance is measured you can say things like it beats an H100 inferencing on a specific INT4 model and that might be true. However, it might only hold for that narrow case.

So press releases aren’t worth much to me. Show me benchmarks.

I don’t see how Huawei could have made that jump. There’s a lot of generational knowledge and software development behind Nvidia’s chips. No company can become a competitor first time.

…but what are we actually trying to measure here? The miles travelled, or the wear and tear that’s caused by the wheels spinning?
