I have 64Gb, a 9800x3d, and a 4070Ti super. It's still a little slow if I set it to the highest settings, but it's usable. Very cool either way!
I was going to argue that you seem like a bit of a rare creature, but I suppose you would know better than I. I didn't bring it up because I didn't want it to sound like a personal attack or something. Do YOU feel that…
I agree with most of what you said, and it was well said. However, I disagree in two ways. Firstly, while villainizing them is unhelpful convincing them is utterly impossible when religion is involved. It doesn't matter…
> they are optimizing but under differing constraints Most often this doesn't happen because one side fails to understand the other, it happens because one side is dishonest about their motivations or goals. In this…
You have a solid point. I also ignore the fact that RTO actually does improve the bottom line in some narrow scenarios, such as when it's used as a backdoor layoff in companies that don't mind losing the best and…
Has anyone backtested a stock bot that just shorts every company doing RTO? It's clearly a leading indicator for company collapse.
> If the overview becomes a trusted source of information It never will. By disincentivizing publishers they're stripping away most of the motivation for the legitimate source content to exist. AI search results are a…
I subscribe also, and prefer it for most things. However, it's pretty bad for local results and shopping. I find that anytime I need to know a local stores hours or find the cheapest place to purchase an item I need to…
I would argue that all models are inherently incomplete because they are models (IE - they are the map not the territory). Rather than worrying about completeness, it's better to ask if the model is useful, and if…
What would be the purpose of launching a decaying lump of monkey meat into space when the AI can explore just as well with a tiny fraction of the mass requirements? I'd wager that it will be AI's using IRC from space,…
To tell the truth, I don't remember. I've kept a "quotes.txt" file for the last two or three decades where I paste in anything I feel is worth remembering. It's been in there as long as I can remember, but I apparently…
"We do our peers, countrymen, students, and children a grave disservice by admonishing them to think for themselves without also giving them the critical thinking tools to do so, for in so doing we foster a culture…
I suspect that you're right, but only because of the rise in AI. At a certain point we'll all have AI personal assistants that are easier to use, more convenient, and less harmful to us than smartphones have…
Similarly, I've been watching the rise of the "minimal phone", and "analog tech" with interest lately. People have lost agency to the degree that they're looking to the very tech that stole their agency for answers, and…
Literacy rates have been declining in lock-step with the increase in social media usage. We are now at the point that 54% of Americans read below the sixth grade level. 1 in 5 are functionally illiterate. Those numbers…
I would argue that TikTok is what terminally online means now.
66% of autistic adults admit having suicidal thoughts. 35% have attempted suicide. If they're faking it for benefits they are REALLY committed to the bit.
This is a really great question. I checked. Turns out that the poorer a nation is, the less reported autism they have. That could be because there is no benefit to the diagnosis or it could be because they have less…
> fun and easy It's not fun or easy for anyone to find a new job. However, it's usually less painful than staying if you're poorly suited to your current role. We all have strengths and weaknesses. The secret to living…
> better allow me being late sometimes That would depend on the jobs requirements, wouldn't it? In some roles that might be a complete deal breaker. For example, anything customer/client facing. If you can't perform the…
What financial benefit would a diagnosis have?
The author's concerns would mostly all be ameliorated by logging out of TikTok and never logging back in. They seem to think that "TikTok" and "Society" are synonyms. They are not.
Those are valid points, and I appreciate you taking the time to make them. To clarify, when I misspelled "cannon" I just meant "big gun" rather than a literal piece of primitive weaponry. More importantly, I would like…
A Ronin is just a Samurai who has learned his lesson.
