You uh, that’s all three wishes, you sure you don’t want something more traditional, like world peace or something?

I had everything in my cart.

I was waiting for Black Friday.

I get an alert saying the RAM in my cart was unavailable.

I’m thinking, okay, maybe they’re out of white RAM, I’ll just do black.

The $200 kit in my cart was now $1,200, but worse yet, everything but the slowest RAM was out of stock.

I decided, fuck this, fuck them, and I bought everything but the RAM.

A few days later, I told my friend my troubles, he says: “DUDE! I HAVE SPARE DDR5 in my closet!”

I tell him: “I will pay for shipping, fair value of the RAM, and 20% extra for your trouble”

The moral of this story is fuck these greedy bastards, you can train your 10T models but please leave gamers alone; they are a tiny % of the demand for DRAM chips.

P.S: Pay the kindness forward, help your fellow friends with any spare parts

2027

It shocks me how many people haven’t seen the movie

My eScooter weighs 42 pounds.

A 28 pound motor that’s 750 kW?

Holy fuck.

That’s power density straight out of science fiction

If video games determined our real world behavior,

I’d be a robot witnessing the fall of humanity, whose crime was free will

Don’t know if that translates to a job necessarily

I had this exact, acute thought as I was going up the sweaty people filled stairs into a rave hall.

“What the hell am I doing” and also: “Would I do this if I were 53?”

I looked down at my hard abs and skin-tight shirt and had a bit of a Zen moment, thinking: “Youth is wasted on the young. You’re young. Enjoy this opportunity.”

I was 21, I danced and partied my heart out that night and I regret nothing.

I used a flip/dumbphone for most of my teenage and high school years.

It’s like asking what would make me go back to having a DOS computer and playing Wolf3D after being in full body virtual reality with Half Life Alyx.

This is an accurate take.

With superhuman strength, you need to exercise 6-8 hours per day for minor benefits, whereas most regular people start seeing benefits from even 15 minutes of moderate walking per day.

I have overclocked my AMD 7900XTX as far as it will go on air alone.

Undervolted every step on the frequency curve, cranked up the power, 100% fan duty cycles.

At it’s absolute best, it’s competitive or trades blows with the 4090D, and is 6% slower than the RTX 4090 Founder’s Edition (the slowest of the stock 4090 lineup).

The fastest AMD card is equivalent to a 4080 Super, and the next gen hasn’t shown anything new.

AMD needs a 5090-killer. Dual socket or whatever monstrosity which pulls 800W, but it needs to slap that greenbo with at least a 20-50% lead in frame rates across all titles, including raytraced. Then we’ll see some serious price cuts and competition.

It’s really uplifting when you put it that way, yes

Orcas began attacking [all] yachts as if they were sentient because their friends got struck by propellers.

Scientists said that orcas are not conscious enough to connect the two things, and that it’s just an example of “pod play”.

Obviously, anyone with half a brain can tell you animals can feel things and hold a grudge, but it’s not scientifically rigorous

As someone with 5,000 hours logged into virtual reality as of 2025, your comment leaves me a little confused. 😵‍💫

You mean “VR Ready” as like, a marketing terminology, right?

Because high-quality, full-body motion tracking virtual reality is available to everyone today for around $3,000-$5,000. It used to cost $140,000 in 1996.

“I told you so”?

The enormous irony here would be if the author used a generative tool to write the article criticizing them, and whoever commented that he doesn’t get the point is exactly right – it’s like 6 to 10 pages of analogies to unrelated topics.

My answer to this is yes.

I’m an AI Developer and my only option was to self host because I didn’t want my training data leaking out onto the web and by extension, China and the rest (I trained on my own data, writing, and notes, along with Wikipedia).

Self-hosting gives you complete freedom but also as one other user cautioned, don’t fall down the well/rabbit hole.

"Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."

Isn’t empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.

See? You’re allowed to say that here

Welcome to Lemmy, it’s nice to have you!

Wait really? Since when? I’ve gotta try it now:

Luigi Mangione

Nope, that seems to work
