This is one of those maps that’s just a map of US population density…

But batteries consistently improve year on year, we just keep increasing the demand of our devices in lockstep because 10% more powerful! markets much better than 10% more battery life.

Oh I mean with setup, like I can download ollama and a basic model fine enough and get a generic chat bot. But if I want something that can scan through PDFs with direct citation (like the Nvidia LLM) or play a character then suddenly its all git repositiories and cringey youtube tutorials.

I’ve been looking into local models lately, mostly out of vague paranoia that I should get one up and running before it becomes defacto illegal for normal people to own due to some kind of regulatory capture. Seems fairly doable at the moment though not particularly user friendly.

But is he actually particularly stand out at that or is he just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so? In another universe a lot of these people are deadend used car salesman types that no one takes seriously.

Do we know why yet? can I get odds on AI generated code being pushed without review?

The teflon is fine, you could eat it even, its the precursor chemicals which are harmful and the teflon will only break back down into those if you fuck up and heat the pan to nearly glowing.

I suppose similar in the sense that the housing bubble involved a bunch of rich idiots speculating on bad debt that had been vaguely washed to make it look good and now we have a bunch of rich idiots speculating on AI based on vague promises that it’ll be good.

That’s the great thing about the latest update, you can genuinely stay in your corner and be peaceful and when that criminal syndicate on the other side of the galaxy wrongs you, you can just infiltrate the governments of the empires with the strongest militaries to goad them into a proxy war against that criminal syndicate.

Though as someone chronically bad at being evil in stellaris I usually end up just using it to make everyone focuse the crisis aspirants before they can snowball.

I think part of the issue is that people on the left also tend to see nuances, which means more things to disagree over. Left falls out, right falls in line and all.

Same thing unfortunately. No honor in a real fight.

As a passable quality 3D artist who does it for a living I’ve found AI art (which can do 3D now to some degree) has kind of narrowed the scope for me. If you want generic Unreal style pseudo-realism or disney toon then AI can do that for you* I’ve had to focus much more on creating a unique style and also optimizing my work in ways that AI just doesn’t have the ability to do because they require longer chains of actual reasoning.

For AI in general I think this pattern holds, it can quickly create something generic and increasingly do it without extranious fingers but no matter how much you tweak a prompt its damn near impossible to get a specific idea into image form. Its like a hero shooter with skins VS actually creating your own character.

*Right now AI models use more tris to re-create the default blender cube than my entire lifetime portfolio but I’m assuming that can be resolved since we already have partially automated re-topology tools.

As with every profession every generation… only this time on their own because every company forgot what employee training is and expects everyone to be born with 5 years of experience.

The fun part about shitty people is they can be really good at pretending not to be shitty if it means they can be extra shitty down the line. Its a trope for a reason.

My understanding is that Unreal is a garbage engine for optimization at face value, it has a lot of useful tools and a lot of incorrect/dated documentation for those tools some of which are also just kind of configured wrong as their default settings. If effort is put into optimization to configure things correctly and only use the various tools like nanite or lumen in their actual use cases (rather than just throwing them on everything) you can get some pretty fantastic optimization.

TLDR: Good but complex tools marketed as low effort with bad defaults and exagerated marketing.

I found 1 and 2 were games I could both replay at least once. With 2 the only bad bit to replay is bricks area where the devs just spammed a ton of very spongy enemies in a big map. 3 had more fun vault hunters mechanically but even during the first playthrough so much of it feels like filler content (like literally ALL of Hammerlocks area) and the final boss is somehow even more dissapointing than BL1, trying to play through a second time is at least 2/3 “Oh god not this bit again”.

Its worth remembering that EU fines are not one and done, if you don’t fix the problem they fine you repeatedly.

Isn’t this the 1 letter typo where removing it makes the game massively better?

To be fair fusion energy got less than the minnimum ‘fusion never’ funding, AI on the other hand is getting all the money in the damn world.

I feel like LLMs didn’t hit a deadend so much as people started trying to use them in completely inappropriate applications.
