Totally, but the context is important. Everyone in that environment should (hopefully) understand that when they say silence, they don’t mean literal silence.

This is a special kind of stupid. They’re not recording silence, they’re recording the ambient sound of the room. The entire point is that it’s not silent, even if it is very quiet.

I’m gonna guess he has way more than two burners. The dude is an addict, tweeting is all he has.

Often times, yes. I don’t want to always have to have a USB key on me, but I always have access to MFA apps via my phone, watch, or laptop. I have no idea why you’re typing the code out instead of copying and pasting.

Does this mean he’s going to make good music again?

Sure it does, it doubles back on itself at Ironwood, Copper Harbor, Sault Ste. Marie, and passes through Mackinaw twice. I don’t care whether you can drive a similar distance in a European country or not, but you can’t just blatantly lie about this route not overlapping when it clearly does multiple times.

But you’re still limited to the opinions of people who post on Lemmy, which, as someone who occasionally posts on Lemmy, is not a shining beacon of quality.

Even if I just went by what I get on the first page of a Google search, I’d expect I’d find what I need much faster using Google than I would using Lemmy based purely on the volume of info Google has access to. And that’s not even taking into account things like Google’s ability to search within other sites.

Unless Lemmy has gotten like 100 billions times better in the last week, this isn’t even a fair comparison.

Edit: lol, just realised you’re the same guy from the Nvidia thread.

Nvidia makes some of the best hardware for training AI models. Increased investment in AI will inevitably increase demand for Nvidia hardware. It may boost other hardware makers too, but Nvidia is getting the biggest boost by far.

Maybe I’m being dumb or missing something but this feels incredibly obvious to me.

LLM tools can already write basic code and will likely improve a lot, but there are more reasons to learn to code than to actually do coding yourself. Even just to be able to understand and verify the shit the AI tools spit out before pushing it live.

Nvidia knows that the more people who use AI tools, the more their hardware sells. They benefit directly from people not being able to code themselves or relying more on AI tools.

They want their magic line to keep going up. That’s all.

It makes no sense. AI tools will obviously have an impact on the profession development, but suggesting that no one should learn to code is like saying no one should learn to drive because one day cars will drive themselves. It’s utter self-serving nonsense.

This is objectively stupid. There are tonnes of things you learn in maths that are useful for everyday life even if you don’t do the actual calculations by hand.

How are running out of gas at home? I’ve never once in 30+ years run out of gas, and the only times I’ve even been close have been when I’m hours away from home.

This is a solution to a problem I’d bet almost no one has ever encountered.

Yeah, but you can have those without being attached to a gas station. I guess if there wasn’t a better option listed it makes sense, but it’s like saying you want a shopping mall when what you actually want is a public bathroom — you don’t need one to have the other.

Assuming you have the space etc, sure. It’s not like a convenience store is just a gas station that didn’t think of selling gas yet.

Weird. When I lived in the states, there were plenty of convenience stores that weren’t attached to gas stations, and the people I knew talked about getting things “from the convenience store” even when they were getting it from the gas station, but I guess that could be a state thing or a regional thing, or even just a city-by-city thing. I take your point about the lawn mowers etc potentially needing gas though.

I deleted all my posts before closing my accounts back when they were breaking third-party apps, although I’m sure they probably kept a private log of all posts specifically for this purpose.

To be honest, I expect AI companies are scraping Lemmy and other places for training data anyway, but I’d rather Reddit specifically not make any money off my posts.

Why do you need a gas station in walking distance?

Realistically, a couple of 10TB drives would have me covered for like a decade at least. If these massive drives bring down the price of much smaller ones, I’m a happy boy.

I don’t mean to be dismissive of your entire train of thought (I can’t follow a lot of it, probably because I’m not a dev and not familiar with a lot of the concepts you’re talking about) but all the things you’ve described that I can understand would require these tools to be a fuckload better, on an order we haven’t even begun to get close to yet, in order to not be super predictable.

It’s all wonderful in theory, but we’re not even close to what would be needed to even half-ass this stuff.
