why the fuck

Because, despite us being in the Information Age, and computers surrounding us everywhere, only a very small portion of the population consider that learning how they work may be useful.

It really is.

I love the Linux community, because this memory shortage has prompted two quite significant developments. Firstly, quite a substantial speedup of the Zram/Zswap (whichever one it is) systems (and a little improvement on compression), secondly, a potentially whole new memory compression stack referred to as CRAM that could allow reading compressed memory directly at near-DRAM speeds.

While making current memory management more efficient won’t in any case effectively solve the memory shortage, as none of these savings are comparable to effectively giving you a free extra stick, it is awesome that people have spent significant effort on this front.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Might find it easier if you open the can.

My dad created an account for me for basically everything on the Conglomonet, Facebook, Microsoft (And Outlook for my Email), Apple, Google, etc.

Never used any of them.

Yeah no this diagram is fucking awful it’s just the first one I came across.

Sure, but hip thrusts do both too.

You can just about make out it is engaging the butt too, it’s just a poor angle.

One of the moves yes. Hip thrust.

Now this is a real backend developer.

Oh look another reason for my “reasons to not buy modern cars” pile.

No way burning the lumps of carbon increases the amount of emitted carbon. :surprised_pikachu

Because only a smart president would be insecure enough to put in paranthesis that they have a “High IQ!”

Yes, unfortunately they are, and I do think efficiency is going to be a significant research front for open-weight models. The nature of this topic is highly speculative as our compute capabilities have only recently reached what is required to consider running generative AI models, what we have today are very crude first implementations of what I personally believe will become an everyday tool for developers, and more.

And we have seen this, there are models now capable of running on an individual’s hardware (and not particularly expensive hardware either) that can outperform what ChatGPT initially launched with.

Unfortunately not yet, no, true FOSS models are likely many years away, but I would argue that that follows typical FOSS lifecycles. Emerging technology is typically outperformed by proprietary endeavors, which creates an audience, and then that audience undertakes a FOSS implementation that initially underperforms, then just about competes, then eventually overtakes (i.e, GNU/Linux).

Ah yes, because I own my pair of jeans, or my hoodie, I’m the only person in the world with a pair of jeans and a hoodie…

If the model is adequately FOSS, i.e. open weights, and can run on a single consumer GPU (or NPU), and the “author” (quotations because I’m personally undecided if one can claim code generated by an aforementioned model is theirs) understands it, then I really don’t see what the problem is…

Personally I have nothing against SLMs/LLMs as a technology, to me my grievances against ChatGPT or Claude are mostly about their environmental impacts and selling us back our own art, also keeping knowledge behind a for-profit black-box - if those aren’t appropriate for a specific model, then I say using that model is fair, and good for productivity.

Well yes, there are several other policies and mannerisms of yours besides the 21-year-old MLDA that are quite frankly inscrutable to me.

Laughs in British.

By the time Americans are trying alcohol for the first time, some of us are straight up alcoholics and have been trying to quit for several years.
